CONVICTS WITH MONEY
TO LOSE PRIVILEGES
NerU Scheme Places Them on

Wealthy criminals in state prisons will
be deprived OF the use of their money
by the plan OF the Prison Survey Com

establishing an industrial system in
these institutions. according to a report
issued yesterday
Get-rich-quicS promoters, bank alb
sconders and criminals of like ilk who
have been able to conceal part Of their
ill-gotten gains are able to set them
selves up in comfort, while larcenists
and stickup men who failed to get away
with their loot have 10 endure the rigid
prison discipline. They must be put in
the same class and. treated alike the re-
port stated.
For this purpose IL was proposed "a
credit prisoners with S1.35 day for
prison labor. the money to be paid from
the profits OF prison industry. There Is
a big demand for certain kinds Of goods
that may be made In prison. II was
stated. The plan also prescribed that a
certain proportion OF the prisoners
wages be sent TO dependents Under
this plan all the prisoners would be set
az trades or other employment where
they would be engaged in production or
necessary work about the prison. The
report has gone to the Governor.

COLUMBUS'S TURTLE
HERE TO GET THE AK
After Ocean Voyage Will Swim
in Thanksgiving Soup
in New York.

Forty big turtles from the Caribbean
that will lose their identity swimming
around in Thanksgiving soup, arrived
yesterday from Costa Rica by the United
Fruit steamship Toloa in charge of
reptilian experts who declared that some
Of them-the turtles-were at least 1900
years old. They declined to give out
the secret of the lore by which they
determine the age of turtles, but the
skipper of the liner was willing to in
dorse their opinions. whether achieved
by science or the noble art of guessing.
Traditions of Port Lipon, the skipper
said. made it plain enough that some Of
the turtles that got in yesterday and
will get in worse later We're at least
contegporaneous with Columbus.
But il was not necessary to summon
tradition to prove the longevity of M

turtle there is circumstantial evidence
that it was contemporaneous with Co

said. the carapace of this turtle bears

erudite skipper remarked. might be sup
piled by even a tyro in the history of
discovery. The VI doubtless stands for
Maria. thus making the initialist a
sailor of the flagship of Cristoforo Co
lombo AS to the identity of the sailor
the skipper guessed that the initial
might mean Giuseppe, Giovanni or even
Giordano. It is true that the only
Giordano Bruno worth while in Italian
annals was the great pantheistic poet
and philosopher burned at the stake. so
it could not have been he. but Bruno
was and is a common name in Italy

Predicted World War.

In proof of the powers of his SUBJ
consciousness as prophet Mr.. Chaloner
pointed out that he had predicted within
six days of the outbreak of war in 1914
and the outcome of the war and had
sent this prophecy TO THE New YORK
HERALD. He disclaimed all personal re-
sponsibility for it.
For ! did not write one solitary word
thereof-it all being done by automatic
writing, which means that | take a pen
or pencil in my hand, place it on
sheet of legal cap paper-or any other
paper-and the pen or pencil at once
begins to write rapidly legbly and CO.
herently without my knowing what the
next word is going TO be
Perhaps the most striking definition
OF automatic writing. and surely a true
one, at least as regards its actions
would be to say that it is a magic pen
as well as magic pencil, which does all

to sin might be also their best friend

they resisted him, defeated him and his
angels that the Devil wishes to be de-
feated when he tempts man or woman ;
that the Devil admires good man or a
good woman as profoundly as. say, St
Paul does But the Devil will not take
any man or any woman on trust The
Devil VIII not believe that man or a
woman is really good man or a good
woman. The Devil refuses to allow be-
lief to enter into the question at all or
in the most remote degree. The Devil
must know that the man or the woman
is a really good man or woman And
the only way on earth or under the
earth, for that matter, that the Devil can
know is by finding out. And the only
way ne can find out is by trying out
by tempting the man or the woman in
question. Therefore the Devil is not the
enemy of man, he is the friend of all
good men and of all good women. but

and all weak men and women In a

1t is then explained that Mr.. Chaloner

very much opposed to being bad man"
Another reason was that he was

Speaking Of success in this life, the
subconsciousness pointed out that ninety

cause they lack the control TO resist the
