CONVICTS ASK WRiTSAFTER STUDYING LAW 1 Habeas Cropus Hearings Demanded Merely for Trip to Court Albany, N. Y., Feb. 28—(UP)— ! Convicts who pick up a smattering of law by poling over the penal I cchle, especially the sections dealing >vi h the writ of habeas corpus, are i source of annoyance to the attor:eys and the department of correc- ■ ions. Nevertheless they are allowed i every opportunity to pursue their ~a. training in a practical way. al hough most of their application l .or wri s could be squashed on techiicrlities | No rd then an ingenious question of law is raised by a prisoner Ito support his contention he is beI .ng confined illegally. Usually, howlever, their complaints are regarded by the s ate as r. diculous. Only two or three wri s hav b en sustained and .he prisoner allowed freedom, in the memory of Dr. Raymond F. C. Kieb, comm ssioner of correci -ns since 192 Z and member of the Id partment for 25 years. I Persistence is a marked trait in 1 .vast the commi sioner terms “sea awyers.” he told the United Press his is especially true of the Inina es of Matteavan State hosnital, of w hich Dr. Kieb formerly was superintendent. One inmate of that institution, Kieb believes, established a record by procuring no less than 50 wri s. none of which was successful. Another once obtained three writs call ing for his production in three different counties on th ? same day and at the same hour. i ‘Of course 1 could produce him I only in one place," remarked the ' commissioner. “That was one of the things l.at brought about an amend 1 in nt to the criminal code providing writs must be beard in the county where the institution is situated." Only recently a prisoner at Auburn bu ied himself preparing applies ions for new trials and for appeals, forcing the district attorney i of Onondaga county to oppose them iu cou.t on nearly a dozen occasions.. “It presents rather a serious prob lem at times," Kieb asserted. "Nat , urally the men must be guarded i when they are taken to court and I our guard forces are limited. It is particularly troublesome at Dan--1 nemore. since the nearest court is lat Plattsburgh, about 12 miles ■ away." Most of the prisoners regard I their trips to court, which they I bring about by procuring writs, 1 more as excursions than in the hopj f winning freedom. “That is the big factor,” said Dr. Kieb. “it breaks the monotony ot ins,i utioaal life. They can appear iin court and argue their own cases, which is balm for their ego. They

may get a meul nt a hotel. It’s a luik for them and they get quite a thrill out of it.” Many of the applications for writs which cross the cominissfoner’s desk would lie regarded by lawyers us singularly Homely. One received recently wue Ajjliiioii on the hack of a picture postcard and is substance merely said: “I want a writ.” Now and then u judge will hear u number of writs al the insti ution instead of requiring the inmate to be brought to court. Forty-two writs Ae.a heard In a single day by u ( upreme court justice at Matteawun I in one occasion. ._. — o— —— —— “POKER ALICE." GAMBLER, DIES Last of Famous Coterie of Old West Dies at Rapid City, S. I). Rapid C ty, S. D.. Feb. 28.—1U.R1 — “Poker Alice", last of that color ful coterie of the old west that numbered "Calamity Jane," “Wil! Bill" Hickok. “Deadwood Dck," and '(’little Kate?' has smoked her last cigar, uttered her last resounding oath and gone to join the good tall men who died under gamblers' six guns about her 'aro table. On the chart at St. John's hos pital here where she died yesterday of old age and complication following operation, she is record'd as Mrs. Alice Tubbs. 77, of Bear Unite Creek, near Sturgis. Rut she was “Poker Alice,” as good a man as the next, in the old days. From the gambling tabl s of Silver City, N. M . to tiie Faro layouts at Deadwood, S. D„ when Deadwood echoed to the clink of Whisky glass and poker chip, the straight-limber, keen-eyed frontier woman was known as a “big time" gambler. She had blown smoke from her black cigars in the faces of homesteaders in Oklahoma and in those >f gold m'ners at King Solomon’s nines across the Rockies. Her frontier language matched that of "Calamity Jane.’’ The first woman ever to become a faro dealer, "Poker Alice" play ■id safe by keeping a big six shooter in a holster at her hip. She used to boast she had had to use it but twice, but she never would tell the circumstances. Another claim was honesty. “I never used a ‘cold deck’ but one? and that was in fun," she often said. o__ CORRECTION The Young People’s Society ot he St. Paul’s Church will present a four act comedy entitled “Let Toby Do It" at the St. Paul’s audi torium, tonight at 8 o’clock.

CORN FARMERS i PROMISED MORE FOR PRODUCTS lowa Teachers Would Enrich Growers From | Wasted Items EDITORS: This is a last of a series of three articl-s on utilization of corn and its hitherto wasted products. — United Press Associations. — New York. By It. Franklin Merritt UP Staff Correnpondent Milwaukee, Feb. 28, —(UP)—AI | jof a day when corn beR I’arnersi will receive much of the'r income, from sale of present waste-pro-ducts of their agricultural work, and when many neo- slties will be replaced by substitutes made from co n waste products fill the mind of Dr. Henry Gilman. lowa Stale college professor of organic cli<n’.istrv. as he mixes compounds in ■ his laboratory or supervises the work of graduate student assistants. “We can not rest stup'dly s cnr« I in the belief that because corn always has been valuable it. in itsself, always will be." Dr. Gilman told the United Press. “We arc Tying to find ntw uses for the old product before it is displaced by substitutes, and, while our woik. only two years old, has just started, wo are more than pleased with discoveries we already have made." That Dr. G Iman has cause for his pleasure is attested adequately by the fact that since he began ii s research 55 products have been secured by him and his associates from the corn cob alone. D-jriti,-those two years the price of furfural. a compound made by dis tractive distillat’cn of corn cobs and the basis for much of the work he has done, has dropped from $33 to 15 cents per pound. However, until the scope of p oducts secured by the lowa Stale professor from’ corn cobs is learned the layman can not undersoil' 1 the magn tude of his res; arch. Included in the 55 products secured from cobs and its resulting ’urfural are xylose, a sweet compound with practically no food value which may be eaten by diabetic sufferers with impunity, an- ; other compound more than 300 ’imes as sweet as sugar of which the food value has not been determined, an anaesthetic suitable for use in operat ons and for re ieving pa n after injury, a com ! pound which may be u -ed to re-i place buttermilk derivatives and shell in the manufacture of buttons, charcoal which may be used .’or decoloiizing, feeding, gunpow ter. or fuel, flour which, like xylose, has little food value and may be used by sufferers from 1 abetes to satisfy hunger witnout inn siting fatal starch, and a substitute for wooden floors. Dr. Gilman's research has net ended there. Through ■ eaction < o rar bus chemicals he has secired bases for dyes, perfumes and ink, | an illuminating gas. an anti-knock ■ fluid for use with gasoline and an- ' ither tin d which may replace gasoline, glue, cosmetics, gun cotton and gun powder, linoleum, a substitute for hard rubber, paper, a substitute for lumber, a flavor much cheaper and similar in taste to that secured from distilla'i. :i of napl: sap, layon which may be tt.ed as a base for artificial siik, a Iry s'liiuToo. resin, tar, materials ,sed n the manufacture of tin 'plate and white lead,-and sweeping ompound. Closely allied to the compounds' which may be used as basts fori perfumes Dr. Gilman has discoveted another gaseous compound which, while harmless, is more effective than tear-gas* and may be used with l:-ss difficulty in di--' pei sing jnobs. Still other com-! poun's, lie has d scove.ed, may compete with drugs in current ’ use. or may be used as fungicides and insecticides. More fearful of pr mature p.’bic'tv than es failure of b’s teste. Dr. Gilman can be brought to dis.u.s. .... >.t a oniy uitn difficulty,! tnd ns explanations are punctuu-1 ted with warnings that expermen-l tation si.II is incomplete and that, the absolute value of hl d e.ies hus not been determined.

FANS AWAITING DECATUR GAME WITH CENTRAL iLittle Interest in Morning Session; North Side Wins Opening Tilt CAPACITY CROWD IS PREDICTED North Side 73; Maumee T.vp, 15. Monroeville, 28; Lafayette Cenral, 13. New Haven, 35; Monmouth 10. (By Paul Hancher)' North Side Gymnasium, Fori Wayne, Feb. 2X I bis great gvmnasiiun was a veritable “bug house'' today and while there were two basketball games here this morning everyone was talking of th< 1 o’c ock game this afternoon at which lime Decatur and Fori Wayne Central ttinah’ ’•a what rrobabC’ "’ill be th'' deciding game of the sectional hiut-nev. The fans here are divided on who will be the winner. It In thought however that a majority of the fans want Decatur high chool Yellow Jackets to win from Central, but the Centra! fans are wild in their hopes of a victory. ’ Decatur has the support of many unprejudiced fans and critics and on the basis of the season records, the Curtismen have a dei tided edge. All tickets have been , sold for the afternoon ses-ion, and . it is predicted that when Decatur and Central line up at 4 o’clock standing room will be limited to I the streets in front of the gymi nasium. 1 When the tourney opened this j morning, a hard-driving, mean scrapping team representing Maumee township forced North Side of Fort Wayne, the weakest of th ■ j *hr«e Fort Wayne entries-to th-' 'im't before surrendering 2S-15. | The townshin quintet fought on even term • in the opening stanza of the game and were trailing by a single field coal at half time The Red Skins railed in the loeond period and after an outburst of offens've enthusiasm ’ gained a commanding lead. The j f'ra’ score was 28-15. In the second and final game of *be morning session. Monroeville romped away from Lafayette Central. 28-13. It was predicted before he game that it would be anybody’s game, b it Taifayette Central '•••iled to show any strength and ’h" Monroeville team swept through the Lafayette defense in easy style.

The season adjourned at noon and hundreds of fans never left •he gymnasium, fearing tint the big rush from Decatur which was expected to liegin arriving at 1 o’e’oek would consume all the seats. Among the early arriva's at the tourney were Fred Engle. Mr. and Mrs. Ti lman Gerber mid severs’ ■ members of the Decatur high, chool faculty.
