INQUIRY UNDER WAY
! ATFEDERAL PRISON
Conditions at LeavenWorth
Disciplinary Barracks
Investigated.

| KANSAS CITY. Mo, January II (by
| the Associated Press) s).-Preparations
| for carrying into effect orders of
Federal Judge John c. Pollock that
a sweeping and comprehensive" in
vestigation be made into conditions
at the federal disciplinary barracks
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. were be
gun today by Fred Robertson, United
| States district attorney for Kansas
Mr.. Robertson said his plans as yet
were entirely tentative. He added.
| however. that he expected to go
fully into charges made yesterday at
; the trial in Kansas City, Kan, of
eleven former inmates of the Bag
racks that for several months in
1919 the institution was governed by
a soviet committee of prisoners.
and that their regime. sanctioned by
the officer who was commandant at
the time. developed into reign of
terror" during which crime flourish
ed and prisoners openly were mis-
treated.
Strike Settlement Result.
The committee, it was declared,
came into existence as part OF the
settlement of a general strike called
in protest against the release of 113
console ntious objectors.
AS evidence that Judge Pollock be-
lieved the barracks investigation
should be a far-reaching one. court
officials today pointed to his in
structions to the jury in the trial at
which evidence was brought out.
Judge Pollock said:
That portion of the case which to
the mind of the court is one OF the
most unusual and singular things
that have ever been heard in the MS
tory of this government. one of the
most unusual situations ever present
ed in a court of justice. is this: They
had a strike in the military prison; !;
the convictS refused to work; with
the approval of the government this
institution was turned over to be run
by a committee elected by the pris-
oners. Those there for punishment
operated the prison. AS result or
the situation there grew, what any
reasoning man should have known
would result, rule of anarchy, cor
ruption and slugging in short. a
mob rule.
.'If this condition did exist it ought
never to be possible for it to exist
again. Somebody in this government
is responsible, and they should an
swer if the judgment of this court is
worth anything.
Jury Still Deliberating.
Ordering of the investigation put
the case on trial into the background.
The eleven defendants were charged
with being involved in a Widespread
plot to print and circulate from
the barracks fraudulent government
treasury certificates Nine of the de-
PENDANTS were discharged by the jury
on the ground that they had not been
connected with the manufacture OF
the certificates. No verdict had been
returned early today in the cases of
Louis NJ Osterweis of New Haven
Conn. known as "the millionaire
kid and John Conway of Hatties-
burg. Miss, members of the soviet
committee and charged with BEING

Expressing faint hope that Rhode

Theodore Tiller. in the part Of John
Barleycorn. combined dignity and levity'
in an amusing manrper. while Henry
Prohibition. a part calling fer less ro-
tund figure, was portrayed by Leonard
Ormerod.
At the last moment, touched by the
pathos of the fallen monarch, Henry
offered John some refreShment from a
hip pocket flask. but the drink WAS re-
fused on the ground that II probably
contained wood alcohol. While Barley
corn had many friends, the only one to
appear as the companion of Prohibition
was Avery Marks. who announced that
he was Senator Sheppard of Texas, and
as dry as the inside of Il potato barrel.
Some of the spirit messages re-
ceived anent the passing of Barley
corn were as follows:
Voter. spare that spree:
Touch not a single snort,
In youth it jingIed me,
And I'll protect my quart
THE ballot tolls the knell of parting
booze:
The thirsty herd walks slowly up
the Ave:

The seance came 10 a sudden close
when the spirit of d departed poet
broke down while recfting:
you must wake and call me Bevo,
call me Bevo. mother dear.
For tomorrow viii be the saddest day
of all the sad new year"
The skit was written by Labert st.

Charge of Treason in Store

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, January II (by

the Mexican situation. No mixing of

band was murdered by another Mex

Inquiry by Chairman Fall developed
that majority of them had con-
sidered reparation so improbable they
had not filed with the State Depart

few of them had been in Mexico on

The greater part Of the testimony
was of the earlier years of Carranzas
administration and much of it of the
period in which Francisco Madero was

rule.

1t was in 1911 that Anita Whatley

dairy there. He was not at home

told them. Their insistence failing to
obtain money, they took her and her

House Speech Shows
Mapes Bill FaIIaCy.

Several members of the House of
Representatives who spoke at last
Mondays session in opposition to the
Mapes bill abolishing the half-and-
half system Of financing the District
of Columbia withheld their remarks
for revision, and consequently the
Congressional Record issued the next
morning did not include them in its
report of the proceedings. One of
these has been subsequently printed.
that of Representative Zihlman of
Maryland. who, having signed the
dissenting report from the District
committee protesting the passage of
the bill, addressed the House in Wig
orous denial of the reasons advanced
for the change of the organic act. Mr..
Zihlman said. in part:
The majority membership of the
committee on the District of Columbia
in reporting this bill. which is to abol
ish the present fiscal arrangement be-
tween the government and the Dis
trict of Columbia, which arrangement
has been in successful operation since
1878, base their reasons for the pas
sage of this bill upon two PROPOSE
tionS
zone is that there has grown up. be
cause of the present system of the
District of Columbia collecting one
half of the expenses of the District
and the federal govern
ment contributing the other half, a
surplus in the Treasury of the United
States to the credit of the District;
and. second, that property in the Dis
trict of Columbia is very much under
assessed.
Evening star., 1920-01-17
Surplus sign of ID. c. Needs.

Now, in reference to the first prop
osition, it is inevitable under the
present system that there should be a
surplus in the Treasury. because the
District Commissioners are prohibited
by the act of 1909 from submitting
estimates to Congress in excess of
the revenues of the District. and when
these estimates are cut by the appro-
pria ton committee; the money goes
into the federal Treasury as a sur
plus.
THE present assessable basis for
taxation purposes yields an annual
revenue of some 50 900 600. and under
the present law the federal govern
ment appropriates like sum. making
a total revenue for the District for
the ensuing year of $1S,000,0O0. in
round figures.
THE Commissioners of the District
state in their annual report that when
they were preparing their estimates to
the Congress for the ensuing fiscal year
they made material reductions in the
estimates submitted to them. and they
made no estimates for increase in
salaries, because that matter was be-
ing considered by the joint commits
sion for reclassification of salaries.
and when the total of these reduced
estimates was reached the revenue
needs of the District for the ensuing
fiscal year were S22,S65.6T6, vet. be-
cause of the limitation of the law
bove referred to. it was found neces-
sary to reduce them to s1S,000,000
plus.
''These estimates therefore fall short
of the actual needs of the District by
S4,623,670. although there is at this
time a surplus of District revenues,
made up of accumula tions over a Pc
riod of years, of S4,063,922.
