Machine guns on state penitentiary walls are pro posed by Warden W. T. Fenton un less the legislature does something to relieve congestion at the institu tion. At the present time it is nec essary for 150 men to sleep outside the cells in buildinps within the the walls. This mode of protection against mob violence has been accepted at 'th federal prison at Leavenworth. Wadren Fenton is thinking seriously i of asking similar protection for his j institution. The warden wants an appropria tion from the legislature for an en tire new cell house at the penitent ' iary. It will necessarily be for trusties as the shirt and overall and furniture factories occupy all extra (space within the walls. The war j d n proposes building the cell house j directly across the road in front of the penitentiary. In addition the appropriation of ; $150,000 or $200,000 will be nec essary to rebuild the penitentiary power plant and provide power nec essary for thoroughly lighting the new statehouse. The present plant, according to the warden, is inade quate to carry the load necessary to light the capitol when it is com pleted. At present the penitentiary plant furnishes light for the gover nor's mansion, state asylum, old cap itol. orthopedic hospital and state reformatory. The job of lighting the few rooms in the new capitol has been tempo rarily assigned to the penitentiary plant, pending a settlement of a dis pute as to whether the contract for lighting the new statehouse shall be awarded to a privately owned plant or to the municipal plant in Lincoln. "We can take care of the load for the few rooms completed." the war den said, "but if we are forced to light the entire statehouse with its flood lights, legislative halls and su preme court chambers we must have a new power plant." HOOVER AND YOUNG PLAN A MERCANTILE CENSUS . Washington. Dec. 21. Secretary j of Commerce Hoover will discuss soon with Owen D. Young a plan for inaugurating a mercantile census to supplement the census of manufac tures. Mr. Young is the chairman of a committee which will be ap pointed by the secretary to carry for ward the preparatory work. Educating the distributing 'rades jobbers, wholesalers and retailers in the value of a census of distri bution is regarded as the most im portant consideration preliminary to the actual inauguration of the eensus. The broad economic advantage to be derived from mercantile census lies in the fact that it will consti tute a medium for increasing the production against distribution and consumption, it is stated.
