Le Rov Corliss. Is Resigned to to Fate in Prison p _ ‘That's All There Is to It,” Former Creamery Head Says —Not Obliged to Mop./ “I am In jail, and that’s all there is to it.” declared I.eroy Corliss, for mer president of the now defunct Waterloo Creamery company, Monday morning. Mr. Corliss, who appeared in his shirt sieves, was grave and per fectly composed. "I have no plans as to what I shall do during the next six months. . It doeR not rest with me to say what I shall do. I suppose it will be what the other men in my situation do. I am taking it philosophically, and try ing to make the best of it. .Every thing is lovely here, concluded the ex firtaneier. No one, except reporters, lias visit ed Mr. Corliss since his arrival at the prison Saturday evening, probably in deference to his own wish not to see people. A dozen or more have called Jailer Sherry, asking how the former creamery president was getting along. Attends to Business. Corliss, according to Sherry, has spent most of his time since his com mittal in writing business letters and has also made considerable use of the prison telephone. He shares the same treatment as other federal prisoners in the county jail, has asked no special favors and has received none. He has not been asked to help in cleaning up the jail, further than by keeping his own cell in order. This work is done by prisoners, but it is the prerogative of the trusties, ^ especially those who have been in jail for some time, and is looked upon as a privilege, because it gives the men a chance to get out of their cells and exercise themselves. Corliss may share in this task later on, but he will not be obliged to do po. Enjoys Favorite Pipe. Prisoners in the-county jail are not required to wear a uniform. Over alls arc provided for them if they wish to save their own clothes, but, so far, Corliss has not asked for a _ pair. The newcomer is on the best of terms with the other prisoners, ac cording to Sherry, and is making the best of such solace as can be gained from his favorite pipe. He expresses no worry for his family, who, he says, are well cared for, but have no par ticular plans for the future. Corliss, who is committed to the county jail for six months on a charge of contempt of court because he failed to turn over to the receiver certain assets of the Waterloo Cream ery company when commanded to do so by the federal judge, will appear in the federal court Saturday to answer to a second charge of con tempt because the securities, when he finally did turn them in, proved to be JIO.OOQ, less than they should have been. Guard Hurt Pursuing Escaped Prisoner Harold Greenway made a dash for liberty while being transferred from a patrol wagon to county jail to serve a 60-day sentence for vagrancy Mon da and escaped. Noah Thomas, patrol driver, ran after him when he broke front the line of prisoners at the east entrance of the courthouse, hut slipped on a puddle of oil J.n the street. He struck his head against the running board of an automobile and was knocked unconscious. Patrol Conductor Schwager, at the other end of the line of prisoners, was unable to go to his aid. Garage Man Held for Alleged Part in Automobile I befts ' Information received from T,eroy H. Reese and Charles Elliott, arrested at Red Cloud. Neb., on a charge of auto theft, resulted in the arrest Sunday at Wilbur. Neb., of Ed Mares, garage keeper, alleged to be the head qf a statewide auto theft ring. The arrest was made by Detective* Francl and Heller, accompanied by stale sheriffs. Eight cars were re covered and officers are looking for 30 more. Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” The Problems Mother Graham Brought Ip to Puzzle Madge. Katherine and I had little time after all to enjoy the "surprise” which Katie had painstakingly prepared as the chief de’ocuvre of iny first lunch eon at home. It turned out to he a special khd PACKARD' Single Six Coupe CHEAP Brand new 5-passenger Coupe at a substantial discount.

Farnam at 26th St. HA. 0710 I Ladies LetCuticura of omelet, one of her best culinary achievements, but Mother Graham kept a watchful eye on us, plainly begrudging every second which kept Katie away from the housecleaning plans engendered by the news of the Braithwaites" probable visit to us. Under her grim scrutiny, we fairly bolted our meal, and when we had finished she had an errand ready for me. "I see you have the car out."’ she said in tones that indicated my prop er location to be in front of a firing squad ‘‘In knew you wouldn’t be in the house half an hour before you went gallivanting out in it. But you can make yourself useful at that. I want you to stop at Mrs. Ticer's and see if she and Celia can come over and clean woodwork and windows. Goodness knows, I hate to have ’em uround—deliver me from lady help ers!—but they're good cleaners, and I ran stand ’em for that long." "You won’t be able to get Celia,” Katherine said quietly. "I saw her at the hospital this morning." "Not ill, surely?" I asked concerned ly, for bright’faced, capable Celia is a favorite of mine. "Oh, no, indeed! But one of the cooks is ill, and Celia is taking her place until she recovers." *»■ Madge Makes a Mistake. “If thait isn’t just like, the Ticers!’’ my mother-in-law declared angrily. “They’re the worst family to stay put I ever saw in my life. I nevef wanted ’em yet but what they were at the ether end of nowhere.” I resisted the impulse to tell her that unless she employed the family on a steady salary she could not ex pect tliera to hold themselves ready for her possible needs. It would have had no effect if I had uttered the comment. My mother-in-law's sub conscious attitude toward an em ploye is that of the old slave owners, and she is too old and too set in her ways to attempt to change It. But it occasions me many embarrassing foments. “I intended going to the Ticers,’ any way,” I said, and I am afraid my tone betrayed ray resentment at her comment upon my "gallivanting.” “Katherine wishes to take her uni forms down to Mrs. Ticer to be laundered—a rush order, of course.” I should have known better than to mention any other work for Mrs. Ticer ^han that which Mother Gra ham had planned. I knew it the in stant the words left my lips—knew it by my mother-in-law's stiffened figure and narrowed eyes, knew it also by Katherine's quick, frantic signal from behind the older woman's august back. "Why, Mother!" "Why, of course?’’ Mother Graham asked tciiy. “Are you summoned to a case?" She whirled on Katherine. I stepped into the breach promptly. “Why! mother!" I exclaimed as if in astonishment. “Who else would take care of Mrs. Durkee? She sent an especial.v request that Katherine should come to her if the surgeons found an operation were necessary." “Oh, I see!" Mother Graham said the words slowly, with her eyes fixed upon Katherine’s face, and there was that in her voice which brought a glint to my friend's eyes, although she betrayed in no other way that she understood the touch of malice in the older woman's words. But I, who knew from experience what hateful absurdities Mother Graham could utter if her anger were aroused, tried to hasten our depar ture. I knew what had roused her anger. It was the idea that Mrs. Ticer might presume to put Kath erine's work before hers. “We'd better hurry,” I said brisk ly. “If I know Mrs. Ticer, she'll have these uniforms on the line in no time, and be up here ready for work while they’re drying." But Mother Graham was not to be placated so easily. The Ancient Mari ner himself oould not have exhibited a more glittering eye than that with which she fixed Katherine. “Has Dr. Braithwaite been ronsudt ed about this—arrangement?" she asked icily.
