testimony in the suit of accounting
against former Warden Frank Conley
of the state prison in Deer Lodge
there has been unfolded considerable
history concerning the operation and

great extent that history has been
told by inmates of the prison, some
OF whom are serving life sentences,
and who have been engaged in var
icns capacities of labor since their in
generation. Others of the inmates
who have testified as to the conduct
of the prison have been those who
have, during their term of servitude,
been in charge of different depart

it was possible for him to have such

ent system of credits for producers of live stock than are now available. We have at this time one of the most effective systems of commercial credits enjoyed by any of the great na-.ons. The Farm Loan Act has provided a fairly satisfa ctory meth cd of making loans based upon landed securities, but no system of credits has yet been provided that will af- ford to stockmen reasonable access to loanable funds at low rates of in terest and covering the necessary period of time requirco in the pro- duction of live stock"
 In talking of the railroad situation as it concerns live stock raisers. Sen ator Kendrick said: 'One of the many causes that have contributed so largely to the distress and discourage ment of live stock producers has been the unjust, and as we fully be- leve, the unnecessary increase in freight rates"
 In discussing market receipts, Sena- tor Kendrick said:
 "One of the most serious questions demanding attention at our hands is that of congested receipts in our mar kets. It is reasonable to believe that stabilized receipts would go far to- ward stabilizing prices. It is be- coming more and more apparent that there is an urgent need for some form of concerted action by which receipts in our markets may be more evenly distributed. A conservative estimate would probably show that the heaviest losses sustained py stockmen are occasioned through our present indiscreet system of market ing.
 Summarizing the problems which are to be solved, we must first con- tend for and secure an adjustment or railroad rates that will be based upon equity and fairness
 ''It would seem imperative that we promptly take such steps as seem advisable toward bringing such infiu- ences to bear as will tend to regulate the volume of receipts in our mar RetS.
 Through cooperation with allied branches of our industry we must exercise such legitimate influences as we have toward increasing the con- sumption and thus the demand for our products"

STOCK GROWERS FACE
 SERIOUS PROBLEMS, SAYS
 SENATOR JOHN B. KENDRICK

Colorado Springs, Colo, Jan. 1 16e- Never before have the stockgrowers of the country been confronted with as many or as serious problems as those being faced today, Senator John B. Kendrick of Wyoming, told the American Live Stock Association in convention here today.
 The solution of our task said Senator Kendrick, 'lies along the line of patient and courageous co-opera- ton on the part of all. Let it not be said that the Iaborers are few or lacking in diligence"
 Senator Kendrick voiced his ap- proval of what is known as the agri- cultural bloc in the Senate when he said:
 "The prospect of obtaining modifi- cations in the tariff bill. favorable to the wool growers and live stock pro- ducers, is increased by the fact that nearly every member of the so-called Agricultural Bloc is in favor of such the membership of this Bloc is com posed almost exclusively of Senators from the West and South, and includes something like an even number of m embers of both political parties.
 ."The actions of this group of men are not based upon an attitude either in opposition to or in favor of any political party, neither are they an- tagonistic to anything that speaks for the welfare of any other industry or any section of the Nation. They are less concerned to party poli- tics and more concerned about the welfare of the people for whom they assume to speak, and they have been particularly concerned in securing at least limited recognition for agricul- tural and live stock interests.
 Senator Kendrick praised President Harding's efforts to secure some measure of relief for the live stock raisers and also paid a high tribute to Secretary of Agriculture Henry c. Wallace.
 ''It is doubtful" he said Eff in all the land a man could be found more worthy and well qualified or one in whom there is reposed more uni versal respect and confidence than our present Secretary of Agriculture, Henry c. Wallace.

MANY JAP PICTURE" BRIDES COME TO
 HAWAII

Honolulu, T. IT, Jan. 16-Fourteen thousand six hundred and eighty-six Japanese picture brides have en- tered the Territory of Hawaii during the decade of 1919-192O, according to official figures just made public by the local immigration utTlOrities.
 This means that IA, 900 new Japan csc families have been set up in the islands during tn ten-year period, an average of HOO Eew families each year
 Japanese families average about five children each, which means that the Japanese brides arriving during the past ten years represent the po- tential nucleus of an additional in crease to the Japanese population of 1910 Of about 95,000.
 Immigration authorities state that tlIe number of new picture brides arriving in Hawaii remains almost constant, the arrivals for 1921 now approaching the average of 1,400.

CONNECTICUT MAN DIRECTS
 IRISH BUREAU
Former Hartford Sleuth Heads Free State Blu reau of Investigation and Has Price on Head.

Hartford, Dec. 11.-Much of the danger, excitement and drama of the come to Daniel McAuliffe, former de- tective sergeant of the Hartford po- lice force, since his sudden departure for Ireland almost year ago. Up three weeks ago he was, and for some time had been, head of the Criminal Investigations Departmen ent of the Free Stade government, with offices In the main barracks in the heart of Dublin. His plain clothes detectives and uniformed men were hunting down the remnants of the little republican army which De Valera Is leading in what seems a lost cause; but naturally this made McAuliffe a marked man for the snipers and as- sassins of the opposition to the estab- lShed government.
 It was his solicttude for his family which caused him to send his wife and 1S-year-old son, Daniel McAu- life, Jr., home to Hartford on the S. time. They are now living here and anxtously awaiting word of the fla ther's continued safety, although some friends here fear that the reign of terrorism in Ireland may greatly endanger him. His important post makes him a conspicious figure and, as everyone knows, it is such men ing. O'Connel1, Collins, Mellowes, and scores of lesser lights on both sides have paid the final penalty for their political stand. The fact that McAuliffe has not been heard from in three weeks naturally leads to anX- iety and friends are now attempting to reach the Hartford man by cable. When he sent his wife and boy home he said to them that he would follow shortly, and ever since they landed the day after Thanksgiving. they have waited word.
 When Deva1era. toured Connecticut McAuliffe was at his side and was one of his most ardent admirers. He was chairman of the local reception committee.
 Not long after McAuliffe decided to support the Free State and hold his place as chief of detectives. he was warned that his life might be the price. Those who warned him say he replied: I'll stick 1t out and If I die; 1t will be In a good cause" It was ony a few days later, the latter part of July to be exact, when there was a terrific explosion in the build ing occupied by the Criminal Invest1- gations Department. McAuliffe was not in his office at the time. The en- tire front of the structure was blown away. Bombs had been cunningly placed and were exploded by Deva- lera's men through electric wire con- nections leading to a safe retreat.
 At the time of the explosion Me Auliffe was his with wife and boy in their home, only a short distance away. The glass in the windows of the house was shattered.
