OSBORNE GUEST OF
W0RKHOUSE BOARD
Former Warden at Ossining. N. Y,
Makes Some Criticisms of
Housing Conditions There.

lnferences from the criticisms OF
Thomas Mott Osborne, on New Castle
County's penal institution, are that q
model institution is not possible under
the law requiring the housing of all
character of prisoners in the manner
IN which they are handled
MIR. Osborne, who was formerly IN
charge of the prison at Ossining n. Y.
is now in charge of the naval prison at
Portsmouth, was guest of the New
Castle County Workhousc Board of
Trustees yesterday at its regular meeting
at the workhouse, ard while there was
shown over the institution.
While Mr.. Osborne, it is said, did not
make any recommendations To the
board, he talked in a general way con-
cernmg prison affairs. Judge j. Frank
Ball and other members of the board said
that Mr.. Osborne was not asked to make
any accommodates, but was invited by
the board to INSPECT the institution.
One of the chief difficulties with the
workhouse, according to MIR. Osborne,
IS the fact that it must take care of
prisoners of all grades, long and short
term prisoners, life ternlers and those
fined for trivial offensesA-in short, all
SORTS IoT aS many uli1eFenb cfltnts rs
there are in the calendar.
These different kinds of prisoners re-
quire different treatment, said Mr..
Osborne, and the conduct of prison
where all grades of prisoners are confined
is an extremely difficult matter.
Mr.. Osborne was here only for short
time, being on his way to Washington. 1t
Is understood that he offered his resigna-
ton sometime ago to the Navy Depart
ment, but it has not yet been accepted.

The Russians have been particularly
troublesome, but the means taken by

actions are reported in the Dutch press
to have been SO severe that recently

FARMER OUT $4,000
Falls for Scheme Of Mysterious
Stranger.
Would Cut Ice at North Pole, lump Il
in Kansas and Sell Il
There.

Minneapolis, Kan.-Visions of at
1uence gone and with them $4,000
hard-earned cash, Homer Hograth, q
farmer near this town. applied for a
warrant for Gallileo Grubino, alias
Gallileo Grub, alleged participant In
the discovery of the north pole and pro-
motor for the Aurora Borealis Ice
company"
One blazing hot day last July CALI
leo appeared on the Hograth farm. He
was equipped with al apparatus SINH
lar to those used by surveyors. He
seemed busy and preoccupied, continu-
ually looking toward the skies and
gesticulating, as If absorbed in cal
culating some obstruse problem in
mathematics.
Finally, Hograth says, the stranger
suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "This Is
the spot, the very spot" Then Gallileo
offered to buy the farm, but Hograth,
scenting a mysterious fortune, refused
to sell.
Upon his fouth visit Hograth says
Gallileo agreed to take Hograth into
partnership for $4,000. He explained
that he had accompanied Peary to the
north pole, and that the pole al real
ly a steel projection. He had in
vented, he told Hograth, a mighty
SCOOP, to be attached to the pole
and to be run by electricity. In
the process of the earth's revolution,
Gallileo explained, the scoop would dip
into the ice Of the arctic, and as the
eel tn revolved the scoop would grad
ually tip and its contents fall to the
earth in the exact longitude and lati-
tude of Hograth's farm.
Hograth, after paying the $4,000,
agreed to remain on the farm and take
care Of the ice, while Gallileo would
return to the pole and harness his
scoop to it.
Gallileo is still at the pole.
