Mrs. "Jack" de Saulles, Mrs. Flor

awaited trial, including Frederick
Holt, who shot J. P. Morgan, is in
disfavor with federal judges, it was
learned today. An investigation is be-
ing made of charges that the Mineola
jail is more of summer resort than
a prison. 1t is charged that prison
ers were permitted to 60 on automo-

stakes were a daily pastime, and that
one prisoner was allowed to spend
the last fortnight of his term at the
Elks' club.

Creation of a great merchant marine
dNring the last year and half saved
the American farmer heavy losses
when the armistice was signed, ac-
cording to Chairman Hurley, Of the
Shipping Board.
Hurley, in a statement issued here.
recalled the appalling drop at the be
ginning of the war in prices of farm
products because OF inadequate Amer
icsn ocean transportation when Euro
pean nations withdrew their ships for
war purposes.
Signing OF the armistice brought a
similar situation. Hurley explained
but the situation was saved by the
ships of the new metchaht marint,
which are now carrying overseas the
greatest shipments in the history Of
American commerce.
Hurley emphasized the fact that the
inland farmer. stockman and cotton
planter were all vitality interested in
the merchant marine because of ths
markets opened to them by American
bottoms

There is special opportunity for

England, New York, New Jersey, Penn

Missouri, and the lake states, where

considerable proportion Of these fuel
users will find wood available close
enough to their own neighborhOod to
make long freight hauls unnecessary.
By turning to wood they will not only
conserve the fuel supply and relieve
transportation, but are likely to con-
tribute to the prosperity of their own
community. For one thing, the oppor-
tunity to sell wood fuel would tend
to encourage the Improvement of farm
woodlands by proper trimmings.
An increased market for wood fuel
should open up good opportunities for
operators of thrasher and silo-cutting
outfits or others who have gasoline or
kerosene engines to do custom saving
during the winter.

Editor Mirror, Moscow, Idaho.
! Dear Sir: Many of your readers here
have read and enjoyed your editor
lials in the past from the fair and i'm
partial way you have written them
but were disappointed in the one in
Tuesdays paper where you speak of
the government ownership of rail-
roads as if the way they were running
now was fair test.
The enormous amount of shipping
done by the government in freight of
all kinds and the soldiers sent in all
directions you don't seem to consider
at all in your summing up but speak
of the deficit of $7,000,000 as positive
proof that government ownership
would not do, will you kindly tell us
in your paper what the government
would have been had they paid the
railroad owners for moving the diff
ferent things they have had to move.
We feel down here as though you had
missed your usual fair stride and were
only giving us one side of the case,
hoping you will give us the other
side of the case.
Very respectfully yours,
d. J. HAMMOND.

BILLION TIED UP !
IN U. S. RAILS
Hines Says Money Will Be
Released When U. S.
Roads Rehnance.

Pittsburgh, Pa, March 27.-The
Railroad Administration will have
S1,05o, 100000 tied up in the national
railways at the end of this calendar
year. Director General Hines decIar-
ed in speech before the Cham
Der OF Commerce here today.
This money, Hines said, will be
released as rapidly as the railroads
can ref1nance themselves, at any
event upon the termination of Fed
eral control
Hines announced he will ask Con-
gress for the appropriation of $780,
10000 to be added to the Railroad
Administration revolving fund, now
$500, 10000
THE more speedily this appropria-
tion can be made" Hines said. the
more rapidly the railroads will be able
to begin refinancing and to begin the
gradual process of returning these
large sums to the government.
Hines outlined the necessary ad-
vances to the railroads as follows:
When the roads are released from
Federal control there will be tied
up in working capital, s34o, ,ooo, 900.
Advances to the roads during 1918,
s340, 100000.
Advances which will be necessary
during the year 1919, pending oppor-
tunities to refnance. 1870, ,0oo, 900.
The appropriation was needed
and still is needed to enable the,
government temporarily to carry
these expenditures, Hines said. He
expressed the opinion that the
money would be gradually refund
ed by the railroad companies as
they are able to finance their re-
