RESULTANT GOOD WILL
FOLLOW CONVICT ROAD WORK.

Washington, D. c., June 1S.-The
General Assembly of Kentucky in
1916 passed a law providing for the
utilization of convict labor in the con-
struction of roads and bridges.
The Constitution of Kentucky for
merly prohibited the employment of
prisoners outside prison walls but
an amendment was carried in 1915
removing this restriction. The law
of 1916, passed as a result of this
amendment, was drafted by Senator
Huffaker, of Louisville. Peter Camp
bell Chairman of the Legislative
Committee of the State Federation of
Labor, writes the National Commit
tee of prisons that the law has the
approval of the State Federation Of
Labor.
The law provides that those who
were convicted upon minor charges
can be used in this work and those
convicted on graver charges after
they have served a minimum of five
years in the penitentiary., Men con-
victed of such felonies as arson, rape,
etc, are prohibited from road work.
The law provides for the employ
ment of civil engineers to superin-
tend the construction of the roads;
also for the necessary equipment and
transportation of convicts.
The Fiscal Court of any county is
authorized to notify the Commission
er of Public Roads when the county
has set aside funds sufficient to take
advantage of the present State Aid
Road Law and is desirous of con-
structing inter-countyseat roads with
convict labor. The Commissioners of
Labor shall secure. from the Board
of Prison commissioners the necess-
airy convicts and Immediately begin
the construction.
The labor of the convicts is to be
charged at the rate of one dollar
per day for each convict, paid out OF
the road construction funds.
The prisoners shall work an av-
erage of ten hours per day, the num-
Der of hours per day in any one
month varying according to the sea-
sons and regulated by the Board of
Prison Commissioners and the Com
missioner of roads. Each prisoner
shall receive from his earnings a
sum per day not less than five cents
nor more than fifteen, which shall be
paid to him or some dependent men,
Der of his family. Twenty-Five per

Mr.. Dick is a sugar refner
Mrs. Astor, who was Madeleine Tall
madge Force, will. by her marriage
lose a trust fund of s5000,000 be-
queathed to her by Colonel Astor in
his will ''for so long during her nat
ural life as she shall remain my
widow"
The will provided that in case of
her remarriage the fund should go to
Colonel Astors son, w. Vincent Astor.
The Astor town house on Fifth ave
nue., New York, and its contents were
also bequeathed to her under the same
conditions. Mr. Dick is understood to
be very wealthy. His sister married
a member of the Havemeyer family
of sugar manufacturers.
A son-John Jacob Astor, was born
to Mrs. Astor about four months after
Colonel Astor's death. The will pro-
vided outright for this expected heir
trust fund of $3,OO0,OO0.

cent. of such earnings shall be held
until the time the prisoner is pa
rolled.
Much good is hoped for from the
inauguration of this new system IN
Kentucky. The old contract system
had but one aim. to enrich the prls-
on costractor. The convict, under the
old system, was driven to his utmost
capacity while the cost of his main
tenance was reduced from the unfair
competition of the conyict-made
goods.
The National Committee on Prls-
ons believes that in few years Ken
lucky will be one of the first states
in her method of employing convicts
and that great good will result to the
state and convicts.

Last Day Of Damaged Goods"

Last Ody OF damaged GoooS.
Today is your last chance to see
this wonderful picture These are
opinions of some great men who
have seen it:
Rabbi Simon, of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation-"If l could
preach from my pulpit sermon one
tenth as powerful, as convincing, as
far-reaching, and as helpful as this
performance of Damaged Goods
must be, l would consider that / had
achieved a triumph of my life"
Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph
was deeply impressed by what l saw,
and l think that the drama should
be repeated in every city, a matinee
one day for father and son and the
next day for mother and daughter"
Rev. Earle Wifley-I am con-
firmed in the opinion that We must
take up our cudgels in crusade
against the modern problems brought
to the fore by Damaged Goods The
report that these diseases are increas-
ing is enough to make us get busy
on a campaign against them"
Surgeon General Blue-"1t has a
most striking and telling lesson. For
years we have been fighting these
conditions in the navy. 1t is high
time the civilians awakened to the
dangers surrounding them and cru
saded against them in proper man
ner.'

Painful Bunions.

Dissolve one ounce of camphor gum
in two ounces of kerosene and apply
to your bunion freely. You will be
surprised to find how quickly 1t takes
the soreness out. Painting them with
iodine, to which very little glycerin
has been added, is, perhaps, the best
means to cure. In the meantime,
easy shoes, rather long, should be
worn, with a pad Of felt under the
Joint to prevent any friction.

AND WITHOUT AMENDMENT, BILL
is CARRIED BY VOTE OF
46 TO %.
FOUGHT HARD TO AMEND IT.
SENATOR LEA AMONG THOSE OP-
POSING THE MEASURE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March s.
Senator John X. Shields scored a
signal victory in the senate today
when his water power bill was passed
by vote of As to %, over two to
one. The only two Southern sena-
tors who voted against it were Sena-
tor Luke Lea of Tennessee and Sena-
tor Marris Sheppard of Texas. The
bill had been under debate for five
weeks and throughout the tntire
time Senator Shields defended it with
stall and ability that won the ad-
miration of even those senators who
opposed it's passage, including stalled
parliamentarians and seasoned de-
baters.
The bill was not amended on any
respect that affected its vitals and
no amendment was adopted in which
Senator Shields had not concurred.
The Shields water-power bill, as it is
officially designated, will enable the
development of water power re-
sources of the several states with ev-
cry interest of the public safeguard
ed and protected, and if it passes
the house and becomes a law a new
era of industrial development in the
South, especially in Tennessee, North
Carofiaa, Alabama and Arkansas, will
dawn.
Immediately after the passage of
his bill, which the Senate committee
Of commerce had reported out unan-
imously, members of the Senate
sought Senator Shields to offer their
congratulations. The bill now goes
over to the house for consideration.

Washington, March S.-Despite the
perils of submarine warfare 100000
persons crossed the Atlantic between
American and European ports as
passengers last year. Figures assem-
bled today in the bureau of naviga-

eled on vessels owned by the belig-
erents. One hundred and fifty thous-

Slightly more than half the Allan
tic travellers We're east bound and
Italian ships carried more than the
vessels of any other nation. Only
$4,000 of the passengers travelled
first class. Two hundred and seventy
thousand went in the steerage.
Passengers carried by belligerent
ships are divided as follows: Italian
ships. $4,000; British, $4,000; French
43 900; Russian, 10000; Belgian, l..
600.
Those on neutral ships were:

gian $4,000; Spanish 1000.

GERMAN PRISONERS ESTIMATES
OF ALLEGED LOSSES SUS.

IN ASSAULTS ON VERDUN
SAY OFFICERS HAD PROMISED NO
LOSS OF LIFE.

PARIS, March 8.-Prisoners taken
at Verdun estimate the losses of the
battalions which took part in infant
ry assaults since Feb. % at an aver
age of two-thirds of their total
strength.
"Our officers promised US" said
one, that cannon would clear the
way for us so that we could occupy
the French lines almost without loss.
We believed also that at each stage
of our advance new artillery prepar-
alton would enable us to continue
without great risk. Instead our bat
talon under unheard of fire from
field guns and machine guns for
hours together was cut to pieces.
The effort we made passed all meas
ure of human strength. That is why
the marched on Verdun failed"
A German soldier belonging to the
CiXty-fourth infantry said:
Our battalion started from it's POI
sition in the woods on the night of
March 2, with orders to occupy an
earthwork to the east of Fort Doua-
umont. Suddenly some one called
Here comes the French. The shock
was so impetuous that it overwhelm-
ed our lines. l fell into hole made
by a shell and lay there all night lis
tening to the calls of the wounded
for stretcher-bearers. The means
often ended in the death rattle.
There can scarcely be anything
left of my company 1t had already
lost one-fourth of it's members in
the fighting from Feb. q to Feb. "a.
This was the finish"
Another German, member of the
Twenty-fourth regiment, said:
Il was glad to get out of that hell.
Our spirits were pretty low and in all
the division because we felt that the
work of taking Verdun would have
to be begun all over again."

SENATE EXPECTED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81
Newton d. Baker, former mayor of
Cleveland, has been selected by
President Wilson for Secretary of
War. His nomination will go to the
senate tomorrow, and administration
leaders expect quick confirmation os
the new secretary may take active
charge of the war departments plans
for army increases and reorganiza

Mr.. Baker is lawyer, and as a
leader among Ohio democrats, has
been a warm supporter of the Wilson
policies since the preconvention cam.
paign in 1912. He has been close
personal friend of Mr. Wilson since
the latter was his instructor years
ago at Johns Hopkins university, and
was offered the post of secretary OF
the interior in the original Wilson
cabinet. but declined because he
then was mayor. He is understood to
be in thorough accord with the Presi-
dent on the preparedness program
and foreign questions.
An offer of the war secretaryshiI
was made to Mr.. Baker by telegraph
several days ago, after the Presiden
had spent more than three weeks
carefully going over a long list o
those suggested to succeed Secretar,
Garrison. Mr.. Baker accepted ant
upon being notified today that h
would be nominated at once, tele
graphed that he would be in Wash
ington Thursday.
Mr.. Baker has been in Washingto
frequently of late, and on his last vi!
II here said he had not been offere
the post of secretary of war and di
not believe he would be.
Ever since Lindley NJ. Garrison re
signed, the President has been seel
ing a middle western lawyer for til
place.
At the White House today it wa
neither officially confirmed nor denie
that Mr.. Baker would get the plac
officials strongly encouraged the us
