There Is no comfort In a Jail: the
prisoners, nlorose and pale, look out
between the rusty bars. and see us in
our choo-choo cars; and how they envy
us and yearn! For We have liberty to
burn. The prisoners in tier and cell
encompassed by musty smell, are
weary of the wretched place, and of the
stigma of disgrace. They're weary of
the muffied sounds of turkeys on their
gloomy rounds: and of the damp and
heavy air. and of the Squalor every
where. They are not human any more;
like warthogs Gagged they pace the floor.
and they look out. the bars between.
and see me in my limousine. am as
sinful as they are. I mutter. as / tool
my car; my fell ambitions run to crime.
but when ] see them do their time, ]
see that lawlessness is punk: It brings
one to a prison bunk. and puts the jail
mark on his brow-and so do not
steal a COW. or rob a rooSt. or shove
the queer. or Swindle some poor auc-
tioneer. I see the crime stuff doesn't
paw, and so I shoe such thoughts away
A fellow serves term in Jail for letting
wicked thoughts prevail And when he
leaves the house of steel men should
forget his sad ordeal; he's paid his debt,
give him chance to live his shame
down and advance. But always there
is some cheap jay to give the wretched
man away For years in virtues path
he walks. at every sort of crime he
halks. and when he thinks the past is
dead. the tale by vicious tongues is
spread. He served term in Punktown
Jail for stealing seven casks of ale"
The price of crime is much too high:
I'll stick to virtue till I die.

EX-KLAN CHIEF
IS WITNESS
BY international News Service

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, Feb. IA
With every indication that D. c..
Stephenson, Jndiana's most notorious
life termer, will talk freely on the
witness stand, the trial of Gov.
Ed Jackson for alleged conspiracy
to bride today awaited the decision
Of Special Judge Charles M. Nc
Cabe on a technical point raised
by the defense.
After a night spent in the Marion
county jail, Stephenson. the great
est sales manager the khan eyer
had" remained quiet pending the
decision of Judge McCabe on
whether he may reveal what he is
alleged to known concerning the
dark spots of Indiana's political
history.
Jackson, Robert T. Marsh and
George v. Coffin are charged with
having conspired to offer former
Gov. Warren r. McCray $4,000
and immunity from conviction on
offenses pending against him, if
McCray would appoint a favorite
of the trio as Marion county prose
cutor.
That the indictment against Jack
son does not allege what Stephenson
knew was concealed was the chief
point raised by the defense to pre-
vent Stephenson from telling story
into which he had barely embarked
when stopped by objections.
The State contends that the in.
dictment alleges that Stephenson is
one of the co-consplrators, and
therefore that any assumption that
he was unaware Of the alleged con.
spiracy would be ridiculous.
Judge McCabe received briefs
from both State and defense and
announced he would rule today on
the question.

WALSH HITS
ENEMIES
Of BILL

The Walsh proposal for sem
atoriaI investigation Of the socalied
''power trust appeared to be gain
ing supporters today following the
revelation that the Federal statutes
prohibit the Federal Trade Commits
aton making such an inquiry.
Representatives of the public
utility interests affected sought to
defeat the resolution, sponsored by
Senator Thomas J. Walsh CD Of
Montana, by recommending that the
inquiry be referred to the Federal
Trade Commission. Walsh app
parently spiked this plan by point.
ing out that the organic law, which
created the commission, forbade it
making any investigations except
those touching on violations Of the
antitrust laws.
Requires New Act
The walsh resolution would au-
&horize an investigation into the
financial holdings OF electric power
companies, the relation between
their capital investments and the
rates charged for power, and the
political activities OF power com
panies. AS a. result, Walsh declared
it would take an act OF Congress,
amending the lax that created the
Federal Trade Commission, to au-
thorize such an inquiry by the COM
mission.
There were indications the resolu-
tion would be voted upon late this
afternoon and there was O. growing
feeling that the Senate inquiry would
be authorized. This sentiment repre-.
la. -
freely predicted that the resolution
would be defeated. The change APP
peared due to WaIsh's statement
that the Federal Trade Commission
was poWerless TO make the desired
inquiry.
Fate With Democrats
Senate Democrats held the fate of
the resolution in their. hands. If
Walsh can capture support from
two.thirds of the Democratic SEN
ators, hts resolution will be adopted.
Up-to-date, he has been Handicapped
by serious opposition from within
his own party.
Senator Walter F. George Cd, OF
Georgia, led the fight against the
that the Federal Trade Commission
had just concluded similar in.
vestigation and that the Senate was
ordering a new one, without hav-
ing read the report Of the first one.
This inquiry is not to investi-
gate the trust character of these
corporations" said Walsh. cit is
to investigate the financial struc-
tUre of the power companies, the
relation OF capital TO rates and
political activities. The two in
quiries are absolutely dissimilar."
They cover the same ground"
George retorted. "It is frifling

q
LONDON, Feb. 14.--"If Nine.
Anastasia Tchaikovsky is able to
draw clever caricatures, her claim to
be Grand Duchess Anastasia, daugh-
ter Of the late car of Russia, is
more likely to be truel according
to a Morning Post interview with
Mrs. E. J. Franks, OF Guilford, who
visited Petrograd in 1911, where she
made the acquaintance Of Professor
Epps, English tutor to the czar's
daughters.
Mrs. Franks said Professor Epps
often remarked upon Anastasia's
pronounced talent for drawing carl
catures. He revealed that lessons
were frequently interrupted by the
grand duchess dashing to the palace
window to caricature people on the
street.
The Morning Post writer suggested
that Margaretta Eager, former nurs-
cry governess OF the Russian royal
family, who is now In England, ex-
anime Nine. Tchaikovsky, as she
knew Anastasia intimately when the
latter was a young girl.
