LONG CONTRACTS

AT STATE PRISON PRISON BOARD MAKES TEN-YEAR CONTRACTS FOR 200 CONVICT. Binder Twine Making to Go On State Has $200,000 Invested in Its Plant. At a meeting of the Michigan Jity prison board with Governor Marshall the question of continu ing the manufacture of binder twine at the prison was discussed and two ten-year labor contracts were let Monday. Gov. Marshall states that the question of con tinuing the manufacture of bind er twine would not have been considered but for the evident in terest 'being taken in the question all over the state, rhe labor un ions complain that it is in com petition with the union-made pro duct. On the other hand the Governor is in receipt of letters from iarmers all over the state asking the continuance of the plan which enables them to obtain twine of good quality at a reas onable price. The state has about $200,000 in vested in the binder twine plant Phe earnings for the fiscal year amounted to more than -$100,000 It is evident from the correspon dence of the Governor and the members ot the prison board have received, that the prisonmade twine represents practically ine oniy competition there is i i . . " against the binder twine trust. lhe plant was originally started not as an investment, but to pro vide work for idle prisoners, l he plant will not be discontinued, it is stated, while it is needed as a foe to the binder twine trust. The prison labor contracts do not expire until Oct. 1, 11)10, so that the board still has a vear in which to make other contracts if they can be entered into advan :ageouslv. The two contracts let Monday provided for the employ ment of 00 men at a return to the state of G5 cents per day per man for ten years. The rate is named for 200 of the men at an auvance oi vi -i cents over prices obtainable formerly under the shorter term contract. The second "200 men are contracted at a price 10 cents in advance of th, best former price. The last legis Iature made possPble the ten-year contract and Warden Reid states the new rates will make the pris oners self-sustaining. The labor contracts, it is staled will not come in competition with free labor. The Mt. Ayr Stone company contracted for 200 men at 03 cents each per day to make granite into grave stones and monuments, an industry, whicii according to Wrarden Reid, does not exist any where lse in the state. The Ford & Johnston Chair company contracted for 200 men at (I") cents to make" two types o chairs, which is made nowhere outside of Vienna, Austria, and lor this reason will not be in com petition with free labor, and a patent chair made only by the roru . & Johnston company which can not be made by any one else without infringement.

Mr. I nomas is recog. nizea everywncre as an umpire who understands his business and is honest and impartial in his de cisions. The ball game last Sunday, in which Plymouth was defeated by a score of three to one by the South Bend Central league. team, was one of the best ever seen in this section of Indiana. The fact that Plymouth had the league team tied until the laüt inning and then lost bv errors shows the ability of our team, and the 'boys who made errors should not be blamed. They were errors that might have 'been made by the best players of Chicago or Pitts burg. The manager of the league team said Plymouth ought to be proud of its team and Umpire 1 nomas. Wre predict a fine game when the Peru Specials plav here next Sunday. Plymouth will go in to win, and if defeated, it will be after a hard fought battle and the knowledge that when teams are equally matched, both cannot win. COUNTY COUNCILS. Gov. Marshall Says County Com missioners Should Stand Alone. A the recent meeting of the Indiana Lounty Commissioners association at Terre Haute Gov ernor Marshall was present am said. in an address that he believ ed 95 per cent of all office iiolders are honest and .try to give their best service to the people. He did not believe commissioners were more engaged in trying to have their salaries raised than in trying to perform their duties. He remarked that if any of them were not satisfied with their salaries they could resign and that there are many men willing to take their places. Speaking of measures of legislation he promised that he would again ask the legislature to repeal the law for county councils He did not believe in electing men to office and then putting spies over them, but rather in making the people feel the necessity of electing honest men in the first instance. More Team Work.

RUBBER HOSE IN SCHOOLS UNRULY BOYS FEAR DARK SPOTS AND COLD WATER. The Hickory Switch, Shingle and Ruler Displaced by New Punishment. Rubber hose to chastise an unruly Chicago boy has been, judicially sanctioned by a grand jury as proper, setting aside the hickory switch, the shingle, the hair brush and ruler of old. "A hose does not ait the flesh even if it does leave dark spots on the skin," was the contention made by .Supt. C. 11. Adams of the State School for Boys at St. Charles to the grand jury to which the Illinois Humane Society made com plaint. The jury upheld him to the alarm of many thousands of boys of chastiseablc age who mind "dark spots on the skin" as well as "cuts in ihe flesh." The trustees of the St. Charles institution chose, the hose for flogging because they deemed it "humane," another step toward the re-instaillation o'f 'corporal punishment in the school. The trite adage of "spare the rod," so long in disfavor, is again being coaxed into the limelight by the most advanced vduca'tors. The personnel of the board which passed upon the propriety of the hose as a flagellator before tlu case went to the grand jury, is significant in itself. It consists of Benjamin Carpenter, Jud4ge Richard S. Tuthill, T. D. Hurley, and Stanley Feld of Chicago; Henry Davis of Springfield; Mayor William J. Conzelman of Pekin ; and Mrs. Ella M. Rainey, vifc of Congressman Raincy, all parents who realize the need of coqioral pun? ishmcnt from personal experience. CONFIRMS COOK STORY. Harry Whitney Now at St. John's Throws New Light on Polar Controversy. ,St. John's, XS. 1, Sept. 20. Harry Whitney of Xew Haven, believes that Dr.. Frederick A. Cook found the pole and that Commander Peary did the same. In expressing this belief todlay Mr. Whitney said he knows no reason for doubting Cook more than Peary. "Dr. Cook's story," he added, "seems to me truthful and probable. Nothing else would explain his twelve months' absence." The schooner Jt'anic arrived here today with Mr. Whitney aboard, comin.g from the Greenland coast by way of Indian Harbor, Labrador. Mr. Whitrtey fecls keenly the position in which he is placed, lie went north, he said, merely on a hunting trip and now finds himself in the storm center of a polar controversy. Dr. Cook left with him at Annotook several cases containing instruments and some other belongings, but, so far as Mr. Whitney, knew, no written records. There may have been records, however, packed with Dr. Cook's personal effects, but the explorer did not tell him especially that he was leaving written records in his jxjssession. Whitney says Peary's steward, William Pritchard. was present when Dr. Cook told of finding 'he pole; like Mr. Whitney, he was nledged to secrecv bv Dr. Cook. Murphy. Peary's boatswain, who was in charge of the stores, was absent at Utah on this day and did not hear Dr. Cook's communications.

The Indiana visitors declared that the cells of the Ohio rison ? insanitary ancT death u.-eed-ing, and were surprised that the state permits such a condition. The prison is to be remodeled, but the cry for a new peniten-. tiary will not down and may be taken up at the next session of the General Assembly. Van Studdiford Answers.
