WOMEN At THE REFORMATORY
Fourteen Are White and Eight Are
Colored-All Are or Have
Been Married.

Anamosa, Ia, Feb. 21.-Every one
of the % women now at the state
reformatory here is or has been mar
ried. This is significant although
Warden C. c. McClaughry declined
to discuss the relative crime record
of married and unmarried women. 1t
must be taken in consideration, how
ever, that the Anamosa Reformatory
receives only adults, the minor girls
going to the industrial school for
girls at Mitchellville.
In connection with the proposed
woman's reformatory now under
course ow construction at Rockwell
City, Warden McCloughry also de-
clined to express an opinion. The
Anamosa institution is at present
handling convicts of both sexes. The
fact that there have been as many as
fl women cared for in the local
quarters indicates that there is no
great need for new woman's refor-
matory, unless for the separation of
sexes completely.
There are IA white women and
colored women now serving sentences
in the women's department of the To-
cal reformatory.
Two are serving life for murder
Three are serving from 10 to 80 years
each for second degree murder and
two for s years each on manslaugh-
ter charges. Prostitution. keeping
house of ill-fame, adultery and big
amy has brought ten women here, for
terms of five years each. One for
arson and four for larceny or re-
ceiving stolen property, each serving
five years, complete the roll of wom-
en- imprisoned here.

ing any liquor business. The deposit
is to be forfeited on proof of liquor
law violation.

carrying liquor in suit case labeled
on the outside by red tag. This same
red receipt is required to be signed
by the bone fide liquor buyer when
the booze is delivered to him by the
common carrier. Any signature other
than the consignee's right name would
be treated as forgery under the pro.
posed law.
The Whitmore anti-liquor-advertis.
