Hutsell, clerk; E. A. Hendrickson and Joseph Raub, who compose the board of jury commissioners, will make the semi-annual effort to obtain a grand jury for the January term. On January 2, the six prospective jurors will report to Criminal Judge James A. Collins for examination for service. If all persons drawn do not qualify or are excused, continued efforts will be made until the jury is obtained. The new probe group will serve until July 1.

LIBERTY COST HELD TOO HIGH No, 3 Head—See Puzzle Columbus Judge Raps Bondsmen’s Fees. Circuit Judge Julian Sharpnack of Columbus, Ind., believes Indianapolis men think too much of their liberty. He believes they pay too much to get out of jail. He expressed his views when he postponed the trial of W. L. Everett, Indianapolis stock salesman, on charge of obtaining property under false pretense until Jan. 25 on motion of defense attorneys. Judge Sharpnack declared the case must go to trial then because he understood Everett had already paid a $250 fee to the Indianapolis professional bondsman who provided his $2,000 bond. Everett’s wife, he said, had Informed him that they were being threatened if they did not pay the bondsman more. H. D. Phillips, an Indianapolis attorney acting for Everett, defended the bondsman's fee declaring that the customary Indianapolis fee was $5 for each SIOO bond and that the bond usually is only posted for the few days It takes to dispose of cases in municipal court. He pointed out the $2,000 bond has been posted for nine months. Everett was indicted on charge of

150 HOOSIERS PRISON 'GUESTS' FOR CHRISTMAS Holiday at Leavenworth Is by Law’s Compulsion, Not Choice. Several well known residents of Indianapolis and the State of Indiana will spent Christmas day as guests of the United States Government, in Leavenworth penitentiary, near Leavenworth, Kan. More than 150 of the 3,300 more or less permanent guests of the institution either claim the Hoosier State as their home or were sentenced from here. Among the more or less prominent Indiana inmates at Leavenworth are Morton S. Hawkins and William M. Jones. The latter, a resident of Fairmount, Ind., was secretary of the Indiana State Fair Board. Both were sentenced in connection with failure of the Hawkins Investment Company. Jones, who has charge of the prison chicken farm and lives outside the grim prison walls, will be eligible for parole next spring. Tony Ferracane There Indianapolis’ most recent celebrity to take up his residence at Leavenworth is Tony Ferracane, alleged ring leader of the Ferracane liquor conspiracy, sentenced to two years in Federal Court several weeks ago. Contrary to common opinion, liquor violators form but a small percentage of the total prison population. Whereas one-third of the inmates were sentenced on narcotic charges, only one in ten was convicted of liquor charges. The prison is far different from the popular conception of prisons of a few years ago. Neat blue uniforms are issued, prisoner physicians and barbers minister to their medical and tonsorlal desires, (the old-fash-ioned prison head shave being passe) and prisoners are given cer-

First grade prisoners within the prison walls are permitted to manufacture bead bags, pillow tops, woodwork and other handiwork to fillnn time. There is not enough labor in the prison to keep all the prisoners busy and regular jobs are practically at a premium. Leavenworth prisoners are given plenty of wholesome food. Daily menus include sped, boiled and baked foods, fruit, pastries, warm bread. Making coffee for the 3,300 prisoners requires four 100 gallon coffee urns. The prison bakery uses 1,800 pounds of flour daily in making cookies, bread, pies, biscuits and rolls.
