After spending thirty years in the
dark and gloomy cells Of prisons
William d. cold Bilr') Cross. is tC
step back into the world this week
"Old Bill' is colored, and his years
in prisons since 1889 have changed
him from the active man OF his
youth to a meek, subjective and will.
ing, almost servile, man OF today. Hls
hair has grayed, his eyes have lost
their Old-time luster, and though he
is only 1fty-seven years Of age, one
would take "OId Bill" to be a man
who has seen the best part OF his life
and is living only to die.
1t is not so. "Old Bill" has been
shut from the world all these years.
and has only sUbtly sensed what has
been going on around him, In the
world beyond his own work, which
has always ended at prison walls.
1t is as Charles Foster, sUperinten-
dent OF the District Jail, has said. ''All
Old Biz knows is prison, all he
realizes is prison, and what il car
ries with il. His home is prison, his
companions are prisoners, and now
he can hardly believe that he Is to
leave the gray walls Of the prison and
go into the world once again"
For Bill Cross will start life this
week. Like a newborn child he is
to go into the world, a new world
as far as he is concerned. Like an
innocent baby he will have to learn
the ways Of the city which he left
thirty years ago, when a man Of
twenty-seven, and which, since then,
has changed so that he will have to
learn it all over again.
Maintains Innocence
The story Of "Old Bits" incarcera-
tion is touching, and most interesting.
Since the day that he first was
placed behind the iron bars Of Jail,
and on through the weeks, months,
and years, he has stoutly maintained
his innocence Of the crime OF which
he was accused. Today he would re-
iterate his denial Of the charge on
which he was found guilty and SEN
fenced, should anyone ask him.
Once Bill was told that he would
have to die for that crime, and for
weeks he lived in anticipation OF
death He did not fear, just waited
and hoped. President Harrison COM
mUted his death sentence and then he
looked forward to spending his life
in prison, to which he had then be-
come accustomed. For these thirty
years he has still anticipated death,
which would take him from the cells
Of his home"

FEW HOTEL COOKS
IN U. S. ARE WOMEN
Female of the Species No
Longer Dominate as Hos
teIry Employees.

The men working in hotels and res
taurants far outnumber women in
occupations usually regarding as
woman's work Is clearly shown Ia
the preliminary report on wages paid
hotel and restaurant employees issued
by the Bureau OF Labor Statistics OF
the United States Depart Of Labor In
the September Labor Review. This
report presents the frst body OF facts
ever collected on a nation wide scale
OF the wages and hours Of persons In
this large industry. and includes data
from twenty-siX cities representing
every section OF the United states.
The information Is given In the
form OF the daily rate Of wages paid
all classes OF employees in each city
and all persons IN the same Occupa-
tion throughout the country. Men
predomfuate in the whole industry,
$4,000 out OF the 10000 employees in
cluded being men and only 10000 wo-
men.
or the $500 cooks only $50 or 9
per cent are women: OF the 400
dlshwashers 100 or 40 per cent are
women; Of Tire kitchen help only
l.1OO out Of 5000 or 81 per cent are
women. One man, however, under
takes to be a hOusekeepeF!
Men Higher PAID
There is a striking contrast be-
tween the wages paid these men and
women in the same occupation, be
il skilled or unskilled work. Thus
twenty-fOur men cooks are paid SO
a day while only one woman receives
as much as Sc a day. The largest
group OF men cleaners receives = a
day, women 81; men dishWashers
SI.5O q day, women 81; men walters
S1.25 a day, wOme8 81.
Most OF the employees in the kitchen
and dining room departments receive
three meals a day in addition to tnls
money wage. while men In the serv-
ice -bellmen, doormens
and PROFESSIONALLY receive a
straight money wage and hOusekeep-
efs and maid often have room as well
as meals.
The estimates secured from the
managers Of the 153 hotels from
which information was gathered, as
to the value OF the lodging rendered
employees, varied 50 extremely from
establishment to establishment that
no average has been computed. The
average estimated value OF three
meals varies from SO cents in Mem
phis, Tenn, TO S1.12 in Denver. Col

Walters, maids, benmen and bag
gage porters, as we all know, are ex-
pected to supplement their wages BY
the tips they receive. Averages for
each city OF the value OF such tips.
as estimated by the hotel manage
ments, show that maids receive an
average OF II cents to SO cents a
day. while bellmen and walters re-
ceive from 1927 to $3.78. and from
S1.16 to $3.67, respectively.
Thus the daily income OF maids
whose average daily rate OF wages
is SI.29 a day Is less than that OF
bellmen. whose average daily rate Of
wages is only Sc cents.
The hours worked By employees IN
this industry, information regarding
the steadiness Of their employment,
and the days off a week allowed or
not allowed them. will Be given In
the full report on this industry to be
issued by the bureau later this fall

GOLD LOST TO THE WORLD
Destruction Of Precious Metal Praeti-
caliy Goes On Without ceasins,
Either Day or Night.

Every ship that goes to the bottom
takes with her certain amount Of
gold. 1t may be only few pounds
worth or-as in the case of the fa-
nous Lusitania-a million may be lost
In minute.
Every fire that occurs means de-
struction OF gold. and there Is never a
minute, day or night, when scores Of
human habitatiOns are not burning
London alone has 2.4OO fires yearly.
Besides all this. there is the matter
of boarding. In countries where banks
are not found in every town, the Eeo-
pie who have gold hide or bury It. in
many cases they die without reveal
ing the hiding place. In this way
India alone swallows up more than
f5O0,OO0 worth of gold yearly, China
more than this, while Africa is at pres
ent absorbing gold in this way at n
rate of more than million pounds n
year. The money is paid as wages to
Kafiir labOrers ut the mines, and by
them carried away to their kraals,
whence it never returns.
