NEW YORK, Sept, II, (P)-Chas. Futile, United States Attorney, wired the police at Newcastle, Wyo., to hold Charles D. Waggoner, pres ident of the Bank of Telluride, Colo, for federal authorities.
 Cool and collected Waggoner was arrested yesterday at a tourist camp and made no effort to deny his identity. He was sought in connection with manipulations whereby he obtained $500,O00 from six Denver banks.
 Futile said the evidence showed Waggoner had violated both fed eral banking laws and the postal regulations. A grand jury investi- gation is proceeding on the theory Waggoner had confederates in the scheme but this is denied by Wag- goner who claimed he carried out the plans alone in an effort to pro- tect the depostors of the Telluride bank.

BIGGER BETTER JAILs

With the approach of winter comes thoughts (to some) of jail
 We don't know how they feel about the local bastile but ac- cording to Kodiaker arrivals last week, they are highly diSgusted with jail conditions over there.
 The bone of contention is that if so many arrests are to be made, Kodiak should have a big ger and better jail, and one with out an open sewer running right under the kitchen and a hen house under the sleeping quar- ters.
 The boys are looking ahead and anticipate a tough winter but do not propose to board there without some degree of comfort and sanitation. Besides, they say, the government owes it to the people.
 The majority incarcerated are not real malefactors, but only a few occasional drunks who have tried to forget for a few moments the terrible prohibition law and the stuff they are compelled to rgoozle" as a result of it.
 They must live for months in cramped quarters, on poor food and under unsanitary conditions while their health is endangered and their worldly affairs go to pt.

 He made sensational charges against the district attorney and sheriff's office of Los Angeles and againt one whm he described as MT Cannon, warden of Folsom Prison"
 The Count is described by his attorney as an internationally known gambler An alleged plot to kill Sichofsky in Poison prison for his money was related in Sacramento, California by James J.

 Officials of the district at torney's office in Los Angeles said a comprehensive check of all records show little ground for the assertion of the Count that his fortune had disappeared without his knowledge.
