taken by the freehoIders, who are now
holding over all the applications for
admission to White Haven for investi-

which died shortly after he was taken
to the sanitarium and the other occu-

exclusion of persons suffering from
other diseases that may break out at
any time.
How is this problem to be solved =?
Can we make provision for these spe-

how?
How can we find these unreported
cases and how can we protect the pub

The reports of the nurse show that
ninety-one school visits were made

HOME RULE IN STATE PRISON
Warden codding Is Trying Out = New
Experiment With Prisoners in
Lansing Penitentiary.

Prison home rule That is Warden
J. K COdding's latest innovation at
the state penitentiary. But he is not
saying much about it so far.
1T is an experiment" said the war
den, land do not want to brag about
1t too soon Something might go
wrong"
When a visitor goes to the prison
the first man to meet him AT the front
door is a convict, who has full charge
Of the door. Next the visitor is ask
ed by a convict in the clerks office
what can be done for him II he
wants to see the warden he is shown
to the office. where another convict
ushers him into the private office If
perchance the warden is in his pri-
vate rooms the visitor is taken up the
elevator by a convict Then if he
goes out in the grounds he finds con-
Victs stationed at different official
posts, some even being on the wall
carrying guns and acting as watch
men
Some OF the official positions in the
twine plant, the brick plant, the hog
house, dairy barn and on the farm
are held by convicts. One is an Of
fetal at the water, light and power
plant, two miles from the prison
Asked how he happened to adopt
home rule, the warden said: 'Neces-
sity, you know, is the mother of inven-
ton I was short-handed with en-
plOyes. The legislature did not give
me enough money two years ago TO
hire the necessary help So 1 just
drafted some of the prisoners for Of
ficers and employees. They performed
so well that 1 didn't ask the last 1egis-
lature for any big increase in officers.
Thus far the experiment has proved q
success. But 1 want to test it out still
further before recommending 1t for
adoption by other states. have great
faith in it and I do not believe the
prisoners will permit the system TO
fail 1t means much to them"
The warden says If the plan works,
as he believes il will there is no rea-
son why most of the official positions
in prison should not be held by pris-
oners.

Lonnorio Makes Bold.

At La Feria Alaire discovered that
the federal depredatiOns had been even
greater than she had feared. Not only
had the soldiers taken a great many
head of cattle, but they had practically
cleared the ranch OF horses, leaving
scarcely enough with which to carry
on the work.
Life in the roomy, fortresslike adobe
house was pleasant enough. Alaire
welcomed the change in her daily life.
Everything about La Feria was rest
fully un-American, from the house it
self, with it's bare walls and floors, its
brilliantly Towering patio, and its
primitive kitchen arrangements, to the
black-shawled, barefooted Indian wom-
en- and their naked children rolling in
the dust. Even the timberiesS noun
tains that rose sheer from the west

Feria was several miles from the rail-
road: therefore it could not have been
more foreign had it lain in the very
heart Of Mexico rather than near the
northern boundary.
