 T have done whatever my time and strength have permitted to keep this issue before the people in all parts of the United States" the edu- cator wrote. 50 far as time and strength and the heavy pressure of personal and professional duties will permit, I shall certainly continue this course of action during the months that lie before us.
 "f am prepared at any convenient time to confer with you or any other of our (republican party associates as 10 how best and most effectively 10 accomplish the end that We both have In mind.
 You ask me two main questions These are my answers.
 Y am in favor. specifically and definitely. of the repeal both of the 1 Sth amendment and of the Volstead have the republican party, to which I have given such service as I am capable since early manhood, take that position.
 ITO your second question I an- swer that I should not oppose the republican party pledging itself specifically to the upholding of and enforcement of the 18th amendment so long as that amendment remains a part of the constitution, provided that the declaration be so drawn as to make it plain that this enforce ment of the 18th amendment is al- ways and everywhere to be &C., companied by the like enforcement of the other provisions of the con- stitution, including particularly those contained in the first ten amendments. which constitute the bill of rights"

VIOLENT BRITISH PRISONERS ARE
 GIVEN SECRET TYPE OF PUNISHMENT

factory his punishment consists of loss of certain luxuries. This is usually more than sufficient to make the prisoner obedient. Should further punishment be necessary he is given solitary confinement, plus regular prison diet until he ev'nces desire to reform. Punishment in extreme cases reaches prison stand ard.
 Guard Against Escapes
 The possibilities of prisoners es- caping are not overlooked. The camp is modelled on an actual prison and has similar safeguards. Regular prison dress is not adopted, but . distinctive style of clothing Is allotted. Thus should an escape be made. 1t is more or less known what clothes the prisoner was wearing at the time he disappeared.
 It is a fairly pleasant existence. but is not favored by "old lags," who realize that although only given initially, perhaps, a five year sent epce, their activities are irrevocably curtailed for 15 years.
 What to do with criminals consist ently "sent down" for crimes of vio- lence was for many years Q serious problem with the British prison authorities.
 With the thoroughness of their kind, however, they eventually es- tablished a system which. officials declare. is almost 100 per ,ent ef- fective.
 Secret Punishment.
 It does not entail unlimited use of the lash. That form of punish- ment is only meted out in conform ity with the amount ordered by the judge when passing sentence. It is a certain prison especially assigned for violent criminals. What happens inside it's walls remains closely the prison has never been divulged outside the inner circle" of Brit ish prison officials. The penalty for the disclosure of the secret. if traced to the person responsible, is declared to be so severe that 10 chance of a Teak" is probable.
 What is known Is that prisoners of murderous tendencies. who frc- quently are brought to his prison handcuffed. heavily manacled, ai- most in strait jackets, under heavy escort, upon regaining their freedom are so tanned that literally they would lap food from a baby's hand.
 Their spirit has been absolutely crushed and never again do they place themselves in a position neces- stating a second dose.

REMINGTON NEWS

Work of the committees ap- pointed by the Newington Congre- gational church and the Ecclesias- tical society of the church to look into the legal side of the matter of uniting the two organizations is progressing rapidly. E. Welles Eddy and Charles W. Belden form the committee appointed by the society and the committee appointed by the church consists of Mrs. Charles R. Emmons and Charles L. Luce.
 The Ecclesiastical society nov holds all the church property in it's own name. It has also been in formed that several persons in town have made bequests to the society in their wills. The question crises whether the uniting of the two bodies will in any way hinder this new organization from receiv- ing these bequests.
 From sentiment expressed at the last meeting and opinions Of sev- oral prominent members of the church and society. it is evident that the proposed plan of combin- ing the two will go through un- hampered. Another meeting will h' held In the near future at which definite action will be taken in re- gard to the matter.
 Mrs. E. Austin will open her home on Golf street on Friday eve, ming, February IS. for a benefit bridge for the Woman's club. The affair will be in charge of the so- cial committee, Mrs. Herbert E Anderson, chairman.

VOTE ON FARMERS
 RELIEF TOMORROW
House to Act Next WoA-0ther
 Legislation Pends

Washington, Feb. 1o.-lP>-Farm relief has rounded the last turn in i the 1927 race for congressional sanction and Is headed down the home stretch of the legislative tracks of both house and senate.
 Carrying the colors of tho Mc- Nary Haugen supporters, whose bill containing the controversial equali- zation fee Is now the only one in tho race, the question. set for debate in both houses today. will reach the voting wire in the senate some time tomorrow and that in the house probably next week.
 That packers of the McNary- Haugen measure will have to fight off considerable opposition was in- dicated by the oratorical fireworks that were ignited yesterday in the senate and house. which eliminated in adoption by the latter of a reso- lution providing for immediate con- sideration of the bill, with general debate limited to twelve hours. After this, amendments will be in order.
 Prior to this action, taken without a record vote. the house rejected 216 to 14s. a motion to give similar legislative status to the Curtis Crisp bill, which omits the equalization fee.
 The agricultural situation was pictured in a discussion in both houses as one of the most serious ever to confront the nation. Much of the debate for and against the Nc ry-Haugen plan, however. was along lines similar to that of the last three years during which the question has been before congress.
 Senator Wheeler. democrat, Mon- tana. served notice that he would strive to prevent final action on the McFadden branch banking bill until President Coolidge signed the Mo Nary -Haugen measure. He Is expect ed to be supported In this move by those democratic and republican senators who refused to become a party to the agreement between sup porters of the two measures to in- yoke cloture on both unless voting headlines were fixed.
 Wheeler also warned that he would again seek an investigation of forces working to the farmers detri- ment and charged Secretaries Mel lon, Jardine and Hoover with being unfriendly to agriculture.

London, Fed. 10. (UP)-Prevcnt- i've detention is Britain's' method of subduing habitual criminals.
 A judge. dealing with an old off, fender whose crime allows for more than the maximum imprison- onment of five or seven years. in- variably adds the dreaded sentence to be followed by ten years pre- ventive detention" This means that when the prisoner has served his term, instead of being let loose on society again, he Is taken to a de- tention camp, where he remains under police supervision for the full period inflicted by the judge.
 Detention Camps

SOVIET RELEASES
 AMERICAN CITIZEN
K0pman Claims Incredible
 Cruelties by Jailers

London, Feb. 10 P-A Reuters dispatch from Riga. Latvia, says that Aaron Kopman, an American citizen, was expelled from Soviet Russia yesterday by the state political po- lice after fifteen months imprison- ment. Kopman, in telling of his i'm prisonment described incredible" cruelties by the Soviet warders in the Nishera prison camp in the province of Perm.
 The dispatches quoted kopman as saying that he went to Soviet Russia in 1924 as a representative of vari- ous New York companies and found business impossible. Then he was suddenly arrested. he said, for 'vio- lation of the state monopoly" and was sentenced to three years im- prisonment in 6 concentration camp from which he was released before the termination of his sentence be- cause of the efforts of American firms.
 A letter, written on a handker- chief, and said to have been snug gled from a Russian prison by Ar thur Aaron Kopman, foreign repre- sentative of New York paper man. ufacturer. was received in New York last July. In it Kopman described himself as in a desperate plight say ing he had been sentenced to three years Imprisonment for alleged hotel and other debts. He claimed that these charges were "only an excuse to get rid of me"
 Representatives of the Soviet gov ernment in New York at that time withheld comment on Kopmans inn prisonment, but said there are two sides to every cause"
 On February 2S, 1926, a dispatch was received from Moscow stating that a man giving the name of Ar thur Coppman had been arrested by the state political police for obtain ing money under false pretenses and failing to pay his hotel bills and other debts.
