U. S. Prisoners Will Have to W ork Under Votaw Plan Congress Will Be Asked to Provide Factories for Manu ^ facture of Supplies Used * by Government. By International News Service. Washington, June 14.—Congress is going to be asked to put the 5.500 prisoners now held In the Atlanta, Graven worth and McNeal Island fed eral penitentiaries at work at gain ful occupations. Heber V'otaw, superintendent of federal prisoners and brother-in-law of President Harding, is working out a program which will recommend the class and character of prison work, together with cost and estimates on plants and machinery. The program, it was announced today, will be pre sented to a special joint congressional committee, of which Representative Graham, republican, of Pennsylvania is chairman. Work for all the prisoners at the C-H-E-N-I-L-E Sport Wear—Frocks—Suite Delightfully New Out of high rent district. Our prices • -*re lew end alterations are free. ! a I ISIS Farnam j federal penitentiaries was urged by Votaw as an adjunct to discipline, in the formation of good habits and as a training for usefulness after the prison term has been ended. Chair man Graham said his committee con curred in this view. Votaw suggested as most desirable, shoe factories at Leavenworth, Kan., and McNeal Island, Puget sound, to give employment to the 2.6J9 men at the former institution and the 602 men at the latter. He favored exten sion of the textile plant at Atlanta. Canvas is now made there for use by the navy and the Postoffice de partment. Extended use of prisoners on farms, urged by Senator Overman, would not afford a solution of labor problems at the penitentiaries, Votaw said. He considers it unsafe. "I am opposed.” he said, "to manu facture ut the penitentiaries of any thing that goes into the markets. La bor leaders have indicated they would not oppose manufacture of shoes for use of the army and navy.” Contracts Made by State Show Decrease in Prices Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.

Columbus, Neb., June 14.—Hired men on Platte county farms can vote at all school elections now, re gardless of the fact that most of them are single and have no real estate. Fifteen years ago not a sin gle farm hand voted. Now the tax as sessor's office finds practically every one of them owns a flivver and pays taxes, thus enabling him to cast his vote in school elections. On the other hand a farmer's wife, •who has mothered several children and has been qualified to vote at school elections for years is finding that she has overgrown the right of franchise at school elections because under the Nebraska law. the right to a voice in school affairs is only vested in a mother when her eldest child reaches the age of 5 and ejids when the youngest kiddie becomes 21 years old. Her husband as well as the hired man would find the same limitations on them were it not for the fact that the -real and personal property is assessed in his name. So the Platte county farm wife, the tax assesser’s office reports, is get ting around the law by listing her sewing machine or piano, if she has one, on a separate schedule in her own name, thus enabling her to vote at school elections because she is the owner of personal property.
