STATE PRISON FULL.
Situation As Fall Approaches Furnish.
rs Serious Problem.

Windsor, Aug. 9.r-Mote prisoners
are beinging entertained at the state
prison than in a great many years
said Superintendent Walker yesterday
In fact, the prison is at its capacity
and Supt. Walker said the indications
were that the coming fall and winter
would make the situation of what to
do with prisoners problem.
Two hundred and sixty-one prison
ers are in the prison now. Last year
at this time about 220 were there.
Forty-two of this number are working
on the state road work in Sherburne
and eight are at work on the prison
farm. They are TRUSTEES, or rather
trustd as much they can be.
The depression in business Is largely
responsible for the outbreak of t.iiev-
ing and stealing of autos, etc, says
Superintendent Walker The increas-
ing of the number at Windsor has
been gradual, and a large number of
them are long termers. Tdefts of
autos have sent a number there. Bur
lington has contributed quite rum
Der of late.
Nine women. confined there now, are
to be transferred to the new women's
prison at Rutland, and this will end
the sentencing of women 20 Windsor.
Two prisoners are life-termers, hav-
ing been sentenced for murder. Byron
Pettibone of Bennington and Arthur
Mudgett of johnson. the former for
the killing of his wife, the latter for
the murder of Amy Shonio at John
son last fall. are both making good
records as prisoners, il is said.

c. S. Perkins Automobile Turned on
It's Side--No One Hurt.

The automobile of c. S. Perkins OF
Waitsfield was turned on one side near
the Sleeping Lucy place in East Mont
peler about 2 o'clock Monday after.
noon because of the breaking of the
left front wheel of the machine. Mr.
Perkins was driving towards Mont
pelier when his car went into the sand
at the left side of the road This threw
great deal of pressure on the left
front wheel which crumpled under the
strain, the spokes being loose, Mr.. Per-
kins said. Those in the car were piled
against the bank but all escaped in
juries. A machine from the Capital
garage was sent to the place and new
wheel attached to the car, after which
Mr.. Perkins was able to carry his fam
lily home.

t.riNg from motion pictures. she does
not give her reasons, but they are be-
lleved to be directly traceablo to the
difficulties of social leader and a mo-
tion picture queen teaming their way
through six or seven reels. Mrs. Hoyt
also objects to the travel considered d
necessary when the company is NOV
ing from one location to another for
the making of pictures.

Officials Of the railroads. after com
putting that 100000 transportation
workers already were cut OF jobs and
learning that Thousands of volunteers
throughout the country were Offering
TO keep trains moving, declared last
night that traffic everywhere would be
maintained even If q strike should take
place. But, they asserted, evidence was
accumulating that the strike order
would never become effective.
Eve have received indications that
the brotherhoods themselves now re-
gard the strike order as having been
premature,' said an official of the Asso-
citation of Railway Executives. at is
obvious from the temper Of the coun-
try that a strike never could be sue
cessful"
Confidence was expressed by the off
cials that the conference which the
Railroad Labor Board called in Chicago
with the brotherhood chiefs would de-
velop to-day some practicable means of
calling off the strike
Thomas De Witt Cuyler, chairman
Of the executives, issued a statement
from his office at 81 broadway saying
vert any decrease in wages into de
creases in freight rates on such com
modities as the Interstate Commerce
Commissio might elect. He pointed
out that the railroads were merely act
ing in the public interest.
Owners Made Sacrifice
"Rai]road owners have made their
sacrticcs,' said Mr.. Cuyler The fact
is that agriculture and Industry gen
orally are unable to pay many of the
current charges for railroad transpor-
tation.'
Many of the railroads pointed out to
their employees the inadvisability of
joining strike. Employees Of the Del
aware & Hudson We're cautioned By
President T.. F. Loree II letter, that
joining strike would mean the loss Of
four thngs-their jobs, free transport
tation for themselves and members of
their families, their seniority rights
and ali hope of pensions for disability
or old age.
Two meetings Of railroad officials will
be held to-day. at which the labor sit

Meyer Inquiry toTraccDeals;
Audi'orc Challenges En-
right to Debate Charges

The alleged inadequacy OF the re.
turns TO the city from its immense pjry
properties and the reasons therefor
are now being thoroughly scrutinized
by the Meyer legislative Investigating
committee, and are to be publicly de-
Veloped when the committee rcsu,n os
IS open sessions after election. it was
learned yesterday.
The subject was barely touched unon
N the testimony Of Francis Z. c. Rp
poa, one of the committee'g investjca-
tors, last Monday Mr.. Rippon pointed
out at that time that, while privately
owned dock properties had increased in
valuation IS high as 81 per cent within
The last two years, the assessed valua-
ton of the city piers was kept practi-
catly the same for number of Years
the increase in the valuation Of 1921
over that Of 1920 amounting to onlv
312 per cent.
Figures Quoted by Rippon
These figures were quoted by Nh.
Rippon in connection with his data re-
specting Brooklyn privately owned
piers and Manhattan city owned PROV
critics. Privately owned BROOKLYN
waterfront property is given bv Mr.
Rlppon as asses sed in 1920 at 500 .767
900. In 1921, he pointed out. the as
sessed valuation was $132. .746.O0O. an
increase of $A1,978,10O over that of
1920. This is jump of 42 per cent.
Mr. Rppon compared this with the
assessed valuation Of city owned piers
on the East River between Twenty.
sixth Street and the Battery. Nearly
all the property IN this area is citv
owned, he said The assessed valuation
OF it N 1920 was shown as S39.723 900
In 1921 1t was $50 100000, or gain of
about 312 per cent. This is pointed
TO by Mr.. Rippon as against the aver.
age OF az per cent increase within
the same period on similar property
privately owned in Brooklyn.
i conclude" said Mr. Rppon in a
report TO the committee now on record
that when it is desirable to show a
lalr .:., return on city owned property
with reference to its assessed value
the taxable values of CITY ov-ne
property are kept down in Manhattan
so the rental charges may be small"
1t vas declared that when the ques-
ton Of all the city's pier properties is
considered, with an assessed valuation
OF S2I2,0OO,000, the matter becomes q
momentous one. 1t is recorded that
the city net return on this valuation
last year was only two and nine-tenths
per cent If the valuation Of the
property had kept pace with that ot
privately owned piers, which it was
