REVEAL PRISON
DATES CHANGED
Probe DiSCIoSeS Tampering
at State Farm.


PUTNAMVILLE, Ind. Aug. "a
No official action was taken today
on the alleged premature release Of
several prisoners from the Indiana
State farm when the State board of
charities met with the Indiana
commission on delinquencies, in
cluding trustees of all Indiana
penal institutions, behind closed
doors to probe the matter and con-
duct of routine business.
This was the statement of John
A. Brown. charities board secretary,
after several hours secret confer
ence. Official action will be with
held until after investigations being
made by the State charities board
and Superintendent Ralph Howard
OF the Putnamville institution have
been completed, Brown said.
Investigations are rendered pain
fully slow, Brown and Howard said,
by the necessity of examining rec
ords by microscope to detect alter
ations which are said to have liber-
ated prisoners before their terms
expired. Nine such cases have been
disclosed, Brown said.
Of this number, one has been re-
turned to the State Farm and ques-
toned but professed ignorance of
the altered records, Howard said.

YELLOWSTONE'S
NEWEST CEYSER
is SENSATIONAL
Largest in World, Shows
Violent Activity; Plan
Tourist Trails.
(By Science Service)

YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo.,
Aug. 1.-THE greatest geyser now
active in the world, and with the
exception of old Excelsior Geyser.
extinct since 1888, the great st
geyser of all history, has created a
great sensation here. where sur
prises are usually commonplace.
1t burst forth into furious and
explosive activity recently and since
then has been under scientific OBJ
servation, preliminary to the open
ing up of a special road or trail to
make it accessible to the touring
public.
Supt. Horace NJ. Albright, DR..
Arthur L. Day, director of the geo.
physical laboratory of the Carnegie
Institution of washington, and DR..
Eugene T. Allen of the same 1nstl-
tuition. together with corps OF
photographers, have been conduct
ing the investigation of the new phe-
nomenon from the dual point of
view of public administration and
scientific inquiry.
The new geyser is a titan of its
kind. It's crater is a huge ellipSe,
100 feet by 100 feet in its two
diameters, and eight feet deep. 1t
erupts in great explosive outbursts,
hurting water in all direction and
reaching an average height of go to
rs feet. Occasional spurts reach a
height of 100 feet.
1t keeps this up at Is or twenty
second intervals for total of three
hours or more, and stages two of
these long eruptive periods every "A
hours.
The volume of hot water it elects
is tremendous. The run-off pourS
through a four-foot gap to a depth
of eight inches, at a rate of 100 feet
per minute. When an eruption
ceases the geyser crater is dry with
the exception of a small flssure and
several boiling mud springs along
the north edge.
The end Of the eruption comes as
suddenly as its beginning, and the
last of the violent steam explosions
seems to be as energetic as the first.

NEW CARS IN SERVICE
One Man fractions Start Runs
Today.

Five of ten new one-man safety
cars were placed in service here to-
day by the indianapolis & South
eastern Railroad. The gaily col
ored and highly decorated cars left
the Traction Terminal at noon to
parade all the way to Connersville,
Ind. Stops will be made en- route
and townsmen invited to inspect the
new equipment.
The next five are to be placed in
service on the Greensburg division
and are expected to arrive some
time next week, according to road
officials.
An accident, such as the head-on
collision near Paramount, Ind, on
Wednesday, which was caused by oil
on the rails, is impossible with these
cars, they assert. They have a mag
netic brake system, which will work
on oiled rails, and nonShattering

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 24.-Be.
tween 5000 and $500 miners are ex-
pected to go back to work in four
teen mines Sept. as a result of the
agreement between the Central Ohio
Coal Operators Association and the
union mine workers calling for SIS
wage scale and 70 cents per ton
for cutting and loading.
The agreement, which will be in
effect until March l, 1890, was
reached late Thursday after more
than week of conferences between
operators and union officials.
A competitive clause, which would
have permitted the operators to
compete ith prices paid in non
union fields, was not included in the
agreement. The competitive clause
was fought bitterly by union repre-
sentatives, who said such a feature
would be ruinous to the miners.
Although only fourteen mines are
anected by the greement-which
will bring to an end seventeen
months of idleness in the mines
hope was expressed by both union
officials and operators that the scale
would be extended to other mines.
Under the new peace pact, a joint
committee of three miners and
5hree operators was created to study
conditions existing in Ohio and ad-
joining States with relation to a
joint conference of miners and oper-
ators before March l, 1880, 'WAen
the new agreement ends.
The joint committee is slated to
meet in November and study condi-
tions until the second week in Feb

Charity Leaps!
Society Debutante Offers
to Drop in Parachute
at Benefit Pageant.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Miss
L ' Nancy Glave, society debu-
tante and not much afraid of
anything, has never made a para
chute leap from an airplane. but
she is willing-for the sake of
sweet charity and the thrill-to
try it.
Miss Glave, who is a daughter
of George York Glave, has Of
fere'i to make the jump each
afternoon for a week at the Long
Island pageant which will be held
at Mineola Playground the week
of Sept. "a, it was announced to-
day by Lila Agnew Stewart, di-
rector of the pageant.
Although Miss Glave hasn't had
experience in parachute jumping,
the directors of the pageant we're
of the opinion that she probably
would be on hand Sept. "a, ready
to aid the affair, which is held
for the benefit of Lincoln Memo
rial University.
In "The Magic City, a recent
benefit performance, Miss Glave
took the part Of a white monkey,
swinging from trapeze over the
arena. So far as could be learned
she had no experience in being
a white monkey, but the act was
quite successful.
Predictions tonight were that
Miss Glave, who is an aviation
enthusiast, would be just as sue
cessful as a parachute jumper
At the Glave home here it was
said Miss Nancy was on a vaca-
ton and other members of the
family could not be reached.

FRENCH IDEAS

Bulk of Cost.

PARIS, Aug. 24.-Propaganda
usually is costly in it's initial stages,
but France probably is the only ma
ton in the world that makes others
pay even more than she does for
the advancement of her culture
abroad and the betterment of her
international relations.
Official records show that France
today is spending remarkably little
in subventions abroad-only 245,-
100000 francs are allowed for the
total budget of the ministry of for
eign affairs and of this sum only
100000 is devoted to national
propaganda.
Governments Aid
It is an astonishing fact that
some countries contribute as much
as four times the sum allowed by
France for this purpose.
In South America, there is a def
mite favoritism being shown for
French cultural efforts. The lyceum
or high school of BuenoS Aires re-
ceives only 100000 francs from the
French government; the Argentine
republic allows it a budget of AGO.
900 francs.
The cultural movement is notice
able III all directions. All of the
larger cities in che States created
by the great war now have a French
institute, museum or school. Egypt
and Turkey also are demanding in
creasing numbers of French profess
sors. In the schools of the Christian
Doctrine Brothers of Egypt there
now are $4,000 students. In the Near
East the Jewish Alliance has under
taken the teaching of French to
more than 10000 pupils.
Build Syrian Schools
The increases for next year are
to cover new nonSectarian schools
in Syria and the building of a mod
ern high school at Cairo The
Franco-Japanese center in Toxic
has no been completed, with the
assistance of the richest men in
Japan.
China, despite its interior trou-
bles, has not ceased to patronize
the French intellectual efforts in
that country.
