Men don't forget easily if they've

there, according to affidavits made
by other former inmates to The

They don't forget as easily as the

cording to sworn statements of in

Search of records of the state

CHICAGO, December 16.-Public at
tention throughout Illinois is diverted
from seasonal holiday interests by the
performance in the State Legislature,
where Gov Horner, after a hard Strug-
gle, has won half victory in obtain
ing a two-thirds majority vote in the
House for liquor control bill providing
a State commission with limited powers
That success was gained in spite Of
the vigorous opposition of the Chicago
administration, aided by certain ele-
ments downs State friendly to the pro-
posal for extreme home rule. The bat
tie now shifts to the Senate, where the
obstruction to the Governors policy is
expected to be even greater.
UnQuestionably the Governor was aided
by the sentiment which unbluShing re-
turn of the saloon under local regula-
tion in Chicago has stirred throughout
the State 1t is currently reported that
evils associated with the worst aspects
of tho saloon in prohibition days
have begun to make their appearance.
The women of the underworld are said
to be availing themselves of the oppor-
tunity for plying their trade which Is
afforded by the bar rooms. and citizens
are registering disgust over the revival
of practices which they had hoped were
forever banned.
From Springfield reports have come
that the little black satchel lined with
green has arrived at the State Capitol.
There is fear that the final stages of the
fight may develop scandaloIs features.
The States attorney of Sangammon
County within whose jurisdiction lies
the Capitol Building, is said to be on
the trail of persuasive gentlemen whose
arguments are more palpable than
audible.
- Despite this diversion, however. there
is throughout the State marked i'm
provement in consumer buying interest,
Business is better than in any Christ
mas season of recent years. That may
mean that checks from the Government
for civil work recruits are beginning
to ameliorate the stringepcy. 1t GER
tainly means that there Is a stronger
feeling of confidence and hope on the

BOISE, Idaho, December 16.-Out-
breaks of disputes regarding distrinu-
ton of jobs In Idaho under the G. w.
A. program featured the weeks news
events in this State
Idaho State officials, city and county
officers and even to President Roosevelt
himself. included demands that jobs be
rotated and that the relief projects,
particularly the more desirable jobs as
foremen and timekeepers, be removed
from politics.
The declarations that political con-
siderations were uppermost in distrlpu-
ton of the paying positions
brought a sharp denial from Gov. Z.
Ben Ross. ,
The Governors statement followed
public charges made by two employees IN
the Boise Office of the national re-em-
ployment service that gross favoritism"
was displayed in relief work in this sec
ton of the State, and statement made
by z. H. Hasbrouck, Boise city employ
ment officer, that naturally Democrats
are given preference for supervisory
posts" since they have been out of Of
fee for IL years.
1t has been pointed out that after
proper investigation has weeded out all
ineligibles and after the proper quotas
of jobs have been given out to persons
registered on relief rolls and to other
unemployed citizens of the State, there
will still be many worthy individuals
left "in the cold" because there are in
sufficient jobs to go around. This is
certain to result in dissatisfaction, even
though all politics be removed from the
c. w. A. program.

CHARLESTON w. Va, December
16.-The grounds around West Virgin
las $l0,000O00 capitol building at
Charleston are to be handicapped and
beautifisd at the expense of the Federal
Government. Approval of the work as
a public works project, to cost $l75,O00
and to give employment to 800 men was
received from Washington late this
week
Before the work can begin, however
the original plans of the architect, Cass
Gilbert of New York, which have dis
appeared, must be found or new plans
will have to be drawn. Gov. H. G.
Kump has said that he would not per-
NIT the work to proceed until he had
consulted Mr. Gilbert and obtained
plans that would carry out the original
scheme designed for building and
grounds.
Completion of the capitols main unit
was authorized in 1929 when revenues
were rolling into the treasury. but the
Legislature made no provision for land
scaping. This was left to subsequent
sessions. BY the Winter of 1882 when
the building was opened revenues had
fallen off and ~the State found itself in
debt, partly on account of the expen-
sive building. The new capitol, which
has become the pride Of the State, was
occupied. as it stood upon bare ground,
which has since been converted into a
level lawn, crossed by boardwalks, and
wooden steps that have their edges
painted to guard pedestrians against
falling.
In the last two years the legislators
have met three times in their marble
chambers, but none has moved to ap-
propriate funds for beautifying the cap

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. De-
cemper 16.-A marked increase
over a year ago in Christmas buy
ing in the larger cities of Utah
was reported this week by the
associated merchants. The first
week of December the sales were
declared to be fully Is per cent
over the first week of December,
1892. Retail sales in November
exceeded those of November,
1882. by IS pen cent.
Forecasting continued increase
in volume of business, merchants
of Salt Lake City announced they
would employ about 5000 addi-
tional clerks for the last half Of
this month. Despite the late
Thanksgiving, Christmas shop
ping started earlier than usual
this year and people are buying.
A feature Of the shopping crowds,
however, is that there are many
more of the low salaried class
shopping than usual. This fact
is being credited to benefits of
President Roosevelt's recovery
plan.
Members of the Utah Tax Re-
form League, made up largely Of
farmers and other owners of
real estate, are trying to force
Gov. Henry H. Blood to call a
special session of the State Legis-
lature. A large committee
waited on the governor a few
