Austin, Tex.. F**b. 9.—Charges that
Jna Furey, said to be a noted confi
dence man, who was captured by
Frank Norfleet, was virtually starved
to death while in the Texas peniten
tiary, were made today before the
Joint legislative prison investigation
committee. The witness was Dr. E.
'• B°az of Memphis, Tex., who was
sentenced to five years for* man
slaughter from Dallas. The commit
tee is investigating alleged cruelty to
prisoners in Texas institutions and
other irregularities charged agalnsl
the prison administration.
Dr. Boaz said he had been pardoned
by Governor Neff after serving but
five or six months of his sentence.
He declared that C. C. Fowler, a
prisoner in charge of the insane
prisoners inside the penitentiary, was
in charge of Furey, and testified that
Fowler gave Furey but one meal a
week. Dr. Boaz said that he would
slip food to the starving convicts.
Beaten Over Hrad.
“Did you see Furey die?” Boaz was
asked.
"I saw him just a few hours before
he died.” Boaz replied.
"What did you see?”
”1 saw Fowler put Furey Into a
bathtub of ice water, head first, and
when Furey was almost stiff and
drowned I saw him jerked from the
v iter and beaten over the head with
.1 sitek of wood. He then was thrown
to the floor and Fowler stomped
hint.”
Furey was one of a band of men
ho defrauded Norfleet of $45,000 in
fale Center, Tex.
The reason he did not report what
le termed Furey's “murder.” was be,
iuse he feared he would be treated
is Furey was. Prisoners, Boaz said,
re severely punished for talking of
vhat goes on in the penitentiary, and
be cited several cases.
Furey tolo Dr. Boaz, according to
he testimony, that he had brought
msiderable money to the prison.
Furry mentioned $40,000, the witness
said.
One Bleeds to Death.
C. F. Miller, another prisoner, was
permitted to bleed to death through,
i ••mistake” in treatment by the
prison physician, Dr. Boaz continued.
The witness also asserted he had
seen a negro on the Ramsay girlson
farm killed hy a guard with an iron
singletree by a guard. He said that
the body was thrown Into some water
and it was reported that the negro
had drowned white attempting to
escape.
Dr. Boaz in a nephew of Bishop H.
A. Boaz of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, Dallas, he .told the
committee. The witness pleaded
guilty to a charge of manslaughter
and voluntarily entered the peniten
tiary to serve his sentence. "The
prison commissioners are all gentle
men, hut they can't keep an eye on
everything," the witness said. "1

of humanity to give testimony. 1
have no grudge against anyone at
the prison. 1 was treated fairly
throughout. The system is wrong.”
San Francisco, Feb. 9.—Joe Furey,
nationally notorious because of his
supposed confidence game operations,

Tests Show He Is Alive
By Associated Pres*.
Cave City, Kv., Feb. 9.—As prep
arations got under way late today for
a military investigation of the situa
tion at Sand cave, where Floyd Col
lins has been entomlied since Friday,
January 30. miners digging a new en
trance to the cave reached approxi
mately a half way point. Tests with
sound amplifiers indicating that Col
lins lives, despite his more than 10
day entombment, revived hopes that
the imprisoned man may yet be res
cued alive.
A military court, called by Gover
nor W. J. Fields, will meet tommnr
row morning at 10 to make an in
quiry into recent work done and cir
cumstances surrounding Collins’ im
prisonment. Brigadier General II. H.
Denhrrdt, who is in command of the
situation, will conduct the inquiry,
M. K. S. Posey, personal representa

Hard Rock Struck.
A\ night settled over the barren
cou \ y hills the sappers were dig
ging at around 33 feet. The test drill
had reached a depth of 70 feet when
the testing was discontinued for the
present. Hard rock had struck
at that depth.
The probability that* Collins still
was alive was given credence late to
day when Dr. William llazlett of «’hi
oago stated that Collins was alive and
that he was not suffering from pneu
monia.
Dr. Hazlett made the statement
after the sound amplifier had been
attached to the electric wiring leading
hack to the victim's head and a test
made.
‘ The test proved conclusively that
Collins was breathing at the rate of
22 to 26 times a minute,” said th**
surgeon. “Normal respiration is 16
times a minute. It is natural that n
pepeon gasping for breath or whose
vitality had ebbed low would breathe
faster. Pneumonia patients breath#*
«*t the rate of 40 times a minute.
Sounds Regular.
“Because of the regularity of the
vibratory sounds I am confident that
the noifrs we heard were made by the
electric light bulh raising and lower
ing with Collins’ breathing.
“We tried in various ways to repro
duce the same sound and were un
successful. The sound came with
clocklike rhythm and I am confident
it was respiration we heard.”
H. T. Carmichael, in charge of th#*
sinking of the shaft to Collins said
that he had knocked on the wires in
the cave with stones and had moved
the wires, but received no sound simi

Negligence in

Maintenance of

F‘’flrral Official Tells House
Committee Funds Will Be
Withdrawn If State Does
Not Supervise.
By P. < . rnWEI.lL.
Stuff CorreNpondeiit of The Omuhn Bee,
Lincoln. Feb. 0.—James Boyken, so
licitor general of Department of Agri
culture, appeared before the house
committee on roads and bridges to
day and Informed that committee that
the Bryan administration had been
negligent in conforming with federal
laws relative to road building and
unless ihe letter of the law was fol
lowed in the future federal appropri
ations for road building in Nebraska
would cease.
Boyken asserted that In the future
maintenance of roads built with fed
eral appropriations must he under
supervision of the state. A letter ex
plaining that state supervision of
maintenance was a part of the fed
eral law was received by former Gov
ernor Bryan and Ignored,, according
to information received by the com
mittee.
For two years, according to au
thentic reports, the former governor
should have forced counties to re
ceive approval of state engineers of
maintenance work in order to comply
with federal laws. This year It Is a
show down and it Is up to the state
to take over this supervision or dis
continue use of federal funds.
Seeks Adequate Laws.
Fnder the state supervision ns out
lined by Boyken today to the com
mittee. counties may continue em
ploying men to maintain federal roads
providing maintenance complies with
federal specifications. However, un
der the law'’ as it stands today, it is
not the county commissioners or su
pervisors who shall decide on proper
maintenance, hut the state engineers.
In event men employed by the county
do not maintain highways built with
aid of federal appropriations, the
state has the power to dismiss these
men and employ regular road main
tenance men from outside the coun
ties. ,
Governor McMullen has asked Boy
ken to go before the committee, ex
plain the situations existing and at
tempt to persuade the committee
that laws must be passed to em
power state officials to comply with
federal statutes or lose federal ap
propriations for road building In the
future. Boyken probably will remain
In Lincoln for several days.

Helen Keller
Real Marvel
of Century
Story of Her Education More
Wo tide rful Than Develop
ment of Radio and
Airplanes.
Here to \ for Blind
llv WILL M. MAITLN.
Don't talk to me about the wonder*
of telephony, or airplaning, or even
the radio. Wonderful they are, but
not nearly so wonderful as the story
of Helen Keller.
To mo the wonder of all the ages
is the unlocking of that great intelli
gence, the unbinding of the wings of
that great soul.
Helen Keller is one of those unfor
tunates who never had a chance. Un
like so many others who never had a
chance, sin* made her chance. Blind
and deaf at the age of 18 months,
she never developed the power of
speech until she was a young woman.
I low did she do IK O, that’s very
simple—to hear her teacher, Mrs.
Annie Sullivan Macy, tell it. Helen
j just put her thumb to Mrs. Macv's
I larnyx, her index finger on her lips
and her second finger on her nose.
Then Mrs. Macy said a word, and, of
course, Helen repeated it. Could any
thing he simpler, sound simpler, if
you know what I mean. But it took
years tg teach Helen to do it. You
sec that wonderful brain was locked
behind the bars of silence, shut up
in utter darkness.
Feels You Speak.
With her supersensitive fingers on
mv throat and face she replied to my
greetings. She frit my voice and 1
heard her voice. For Helen Keller
can talk, not as you and I talk, hut
so as to he understood. And how
her .really beautiful face lights up
when she does talk, especially when
she talks about the work being clone
for the benefit of the blind!
Miss Keller was almost seven years
old before her brain was reached and
responded. She had learned to make
a few sign A to indicate her wants,
hut she could make no response. Then
Annie Sullivan Macy took up the
work of teaching her. It was almost
three months before she showed signs
of response Blit from the moment
of that response her progress has
been the marvel of mankind. In an
Incredibly short time she had acquired
a high school education. Then she
went to Harvard and in four years
completed tHe course with honors and
received the degree of bachelor of
arts. She i« n writer of international
fame.
Radiate* Happine**.
That isn’t the best part of it. either.
She is a charming, womanly woman.
She fairly radiates happiness and
good cheer, and if for a moment you
feel inclined *o pity her. you soon
come to the jv>int of almost envying
her. She Is bubbling over with good
humor. And her great ambition i« to
make it possible for all who are as
she once was to be as she.
"He represents The Omaha Bee,"
said Mrs. Macy in introducing me to
Miss Keller.
“Omaha Bee,** said Miss Keller In
her peculiar tone of voice: “O. that
is the western newspaper we hear
most about In New York.'*
Of course, she could not n* p the
report orbtl Mush, but her sensitive
fingers did grasp the embarrassed «r.
knowledgements of the reporter, and
she laughed merrily.
Of course. Miss Keller did not con
verso with the reporter at first h ind
all the tine. She conversed by way
of thi hand of Miss Polly Thomsen,
her vivim ions companion. That Is.
Miss Polly spelled out the reporter's
remarks in Miss Keller's hand, and
then Mis* Keller answered orally. As
Mrs. Mary told of her efforts to pene
trate the seemingly impenetrable wall
