AS a habitual criminal, he will cost
society much more than that.
practically half the native-born
inmates of Sing Sing are graduates
of reformatories. The reason the
reports show a smaller percentage
of failures from the refornatories
is that they only cover a period of
a year. A man should be super

tain there will be no relapse.
In 1914, year free from the
influence of jazzmania. prohibition,
and the back wash of war, 81 per
cent OF those sent to Jail in Mas
sachusetts were repeaters, serving
a second, third, or fourth term.
This 81 per cent were responsible
for 81 per cent of the offenses. I

this 81 per cent to 20 per cent

"If repeaters are responsible for

item for those who figure convicts
in terms of dollars and cents.
But the public doesn't think
of convicts; lightweight were killed

and decent food and sanitary condi-

learn something and develop into
a useful member of society.
And they want to feel that while
they are doing their time some
other man as guilty, or guiltler, is
not going free because he had

to be facing starvation for several

Due to the failure of Lieut.. Ennis

NORTHPORT, Mich, April 20
The reported plight OF the nine men
and one woman, said to be starv-
ing on South Fox Island in Lake
Michigan; was regarded as a joke
today, following the denials and
conflicting stories told by Edward
Horn, one of the three men who
reached Northport from the island
Wednesday night.
Horn and two companions, Carl
Cooper and Ellis Sayres, reached
here after they said they had
struggled for sixty hours in floe
ice, losing skiff and completing
their allegedly perilous journey on
a cake of ice.
Men Believed Fired"
The three men were said to have
told Dr. Robert A. Flood of North
port, that the occupants of the ISL
and, group of loggers employed
by the Zalph Fruit and Package
Company, of Northport, have sub
sisted for three weeks only on
frozen potatoes.
The same story was repeated by
the men to B. T. McAlvay, superin-
tendent of the company, and many
other Northport residents, 1t is said.
Horn, only one of party" still
here, is being followed and per
sistently questioned by townspeople
who assert the belief that the three
men were fired" by Nelson Ask,
foreman of the lumber camp,
crossed to the mainland on the ice
and expressed their resentment by
tall" stories of the Paul Bunyan
type. Their detailing of the hard
ships encountered was very dra-
matte, it Is said. McAlvay also
believes that the men either quit
or were discharged. Firm denial
now Is made by Horn OF the original
starvation" story.
at never said they were hungry"
Horn asserted today. 1--WE just
quit our jobs and came across to
the mainland. There is plenty of
grub On the island.
Appears To Be Resentful.
Horn appeared resentful because
of the widespread doubts cast on
his veracity. It is reported on good
authority that he has offered to
greet with typical lumber-jack
method any further questions about
how many jumps he required to
clear the yawning crevices in the
lake ice, as detailed in his first
recital.
The Curtis airplane. piloted by
Lieut.. e. C. Whitehead, which
crashed through the ice while at
tempting to reach the starvation
party" is resting on the slush ice
today partly submerged by three
feet Of water. A tug will attempt
to reach the "ship" today.
A citizens committee which had
assembled store of food for the
planes to carry to South Fox island
were resentful today, stating candid
Nv that they believe the island &C.
cupants have more food than they
themselves have.

Among the museums being form

that to be housed by the Society
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution in Memorial Continental
Hall. Each year witnesses it's aug
mentation as chapters throughout
the country see the wisdom of col
lecting centrally such Revolutionary
relics as have passed down to
them.
Delegates attending the present
Congress declare nationwide cam
paign should be started within D.
A. r. ranks to induce holders and
owners of such relics to send them
to the Washington headquarters.
While 1t is not anticipated that
action will be taken during the
present congress, efforts will be
made the coming year to secure
cooperation along national lines
tending toward the contemplated
end. This can be dore, 1t is pointed
out, through the national head
quarters taking up the suggestion
with State organization and through
them reaching the local chapters
In connection with the D. A. r.
collection many delegates believe it
consistent to expand it to take in
practically any relic associated
with the country's history during
a period of war. If this policy
is adopted, 1t is predicted that
within a few years the D. A. r.
historical collection will surpass
in interest, if not in value, any
similar collection in the National
Capital.
A relic just accepted was O china
bowl from a set of dishes ordered
by John Paul Jones, which, it Is
stated. he was later unable to
take off the potters hands. The
bowl, is in excellent condition. and
is a beautiful specimen of the
craftsmanship. .
