LIBERTY EVEN IN PRISON.
French Crlmlnologlst Sees Only Lu
uf-i Here.
Paris , Nov. 12. M. Schramock. tl
director of French prisons , who hi
Just returned from the Intornatlon
Prison congress at Washington , wi
astonished at what he saw In penlto
tiarles in the United States. Ho d
scribes them as "the height of luxu
for the criminals , "
"Truly , " ho Hold , "In the prisons ir
10 United States the prisoners arc
> ctter lodged and better nourished
mn are the major portion of the
Drench workliiKtnan. That IH no ox
KKoratton. The prisons In the Unit
d States give the Inmates three monlt
duy , at each of which they havi
teat. And they have coffee with tlieli
tuals. The prisoners are made tc
work , but they do so little that It It
ot worth talking about.
"They have their electric light ! the )
an read the newspapers and hookt
out them from the outside. I have
eon them In comfortable rocklnf
liulrs , smoking clgarets and rending
'hey have gymnasiums In some prls
no. They are allowed to play foot
mil and they are allowed also to phi )
luslcnl Instruments and organize con
erts. They get Instruction nnd when
hey nro released they are given $ t
piece.
"Tno reason tor this leniency is thai
10 Americans have so high a regard
or personal liberty It Is supposed tc
e BUfllclont punishment to take awn )
man's liberty. Besides , crlmlnah
re looked on rather as 111 , unhealth )
ndlvlduals who must bo cared for and
ot on the right road again.
"But I believe the luxury In Amorl
an prisons encourages crime. I was
ot nblo to got statistics while there
n this point , but there Is a great in
reasfj In the number of prisoner *
nch year. I was told that this In
rcaso is only In proportion to the In
reaso in population. It seems to mo
lough , from such llgurcs as I was
ble to obtain , that the number ol
> rlsoncrs there Increases alarmingly
'hoy have no penal colonies. The
Americans oven look on our penal col
nles as barbarous.
"I was greatly and favorably 1m
ressod with the surveillance I ob
orved over the children. I wish Paris
vould follow the example and turn the
resent fortifications Into parks foi
lilldron to play In. "

LIE TO EVADE A CLOSING LAW.
New York Cafe Patrons Do Not Llk
a 1 O'clock Rule.
New York , Nov. 12. With the ne\
order of things the closing of saloon
nnd restaurants at 1 o'clock in th
norning has come necessity which 1
this case , at least , is the stepmothe
of invention. Excuses in plenty nr
offered by the belated customers wh
present themselves at the portals c
.ho Broadway "lobster palaces , " seel
, ng admission. Many of them ha
been used to dropping in at any hou
nnd departing after the merry rattl
of the milk cans In the street wn
heard.
George Recto. , proprietor of an ui
town cnfo , says he has had difficult
explaining to the late comers that
is Impossible for them to come Int
his place. The excuses made at hi
front door , ho says , are the most li
torestlng experience he over has hn
in his restaurant career.
A few nights ago a typical mn
about town appeared at his front ei
trance not long after 1 o'clock ar
knocked violently on the glass dee
When Mr. Rector opened the door 1
found the man both liatless ar
breathless.
"I thought I wasn't to get back In
he said , mounting the first step.
"Were you In hero before ? " doman
ed Mr. Rector.
"Oh , yes , " said the man with the u
covered head , affecting a nonchalai
manner. "I Just stepped outside to c
tier a taxi. "
Just then the hat which he hi
secreted under his great coat fell wli
a thud.
Another man of the same typo a
pcared nt the door ono night and
an apologetic manner explained th
ho had left half an hour before ai
had forgotten to pay his check.
Once they are past the strong ar
of Mr. Rector and in the bright llghl
whore the air Is thick with music ai
smoke , they feel they are safe. An
eviction would be too spectacular and
cntiHO too much unnecessary excite
ment.
Mr. Rector stopped out ono night re
cently to got .1 breath of fresh air and
found n man , nearly seven feet tall ,
trying to bribe ono of the checkroom
boys to loan him his Jacket and Tom
my Atkins cap In order to get In.

ago the pair came to Milwaukee and

Then cnmo an ultimatum to the
bride that she give up her husband or

to remain with her husband.
The latter's employers have prom-
Ired , it is said , to give the chauffeur

course to get a start In the automobile
business.
TRUCE IN THEATER WAR.
Norfolk Will Get "Trust" Showsr-ln-
dependents and "K. & E. " Make Up.
Peace In the theatrical war has fol
lowed the conclusion of the negotia
tions between Klaw & Erlanger nnd
the National Theater Owners' associa
tion , bended by John Cort. All the
"open door" theaters , including the
Auditorium In Norfolk , will play
"trust" as well as "Independent" at
tractions.
The terms cf Hie- agreement , under
which the association members agree
to book the syndicate shows are as
follows :
Frohman , Khiw & Erlanger have
agreed :
To eliminate opposition In the one-
night stands us quickly as possible ;
To discontinue and stop the further
building of now theaters ;
Not to hinder or advise any of their
allies against pinylng any members in
houses now belonging to the National
Theater Owners association ;
To book all the attractions which
they personally hook In the theaters
owned and controlled by members of
the association.
To Be Change at Hospital.
With a change in the political com
plexion of Nebraska's governor , there
will be a change In the personnel of
officials at the Norfolk Insane hospital ,
as well as at other state Institutions
whose officers are appointed by the
chief executive.
At Norfolk there will be a new su
perintendent , a physician , an assistant
physician , n steward , a bookkeeper , a
matron and other officers to name.
Dr. Peclval , the present superinten
dent , has been In charge Just two
years , a democratic governor having
been in office only that long. H. E.
Gerecke , one of Norfolk's pioneers , has
been steward for two years.
No candidates for the new positions
have as yet been made public , but it la
safe to assume that the officeseekers
will be hot on the train of Governor-
elect Aldrlch.
WHAT DOES ANSON WANT ?
"Pop's" Appearance in New York Wor
rying Big League Magnates.
New York , Nov. 12. Adrian C. An-
son , the former great hitter and lend'
er of the Chicago Champions in the
olden days , is in town on a mysterious
mission. He has had several confer
ences with men of wealth , and It is understood -
derstood that he is feeling the public
pulse on the question of a new league
to be a rival of the National and the
American leagues.
"Cap" Anson always has been a
stalwart National leaguer and ho stood
by that organization in the troublesome
some days of the brotherhood. It h
a little strange , therefore , to learr
that the old wnrhorse is Interested ii :
the new league. If they are paying
the captain a salary to find out hov ,
the land lies more power to him. He
s deserving of anything that may be
thrown his way and you can bet youi
last dollar that "Pop" will not do any
thing under cover.
John T. Brush , owner of the Giants
and Frank Favrell , owner of the High
landers , are not worried over the pos
slblllty of a third league'getting Intc
New York. Both major leagues an
well fortified against any newcome
that tries to cut into their territory
Ever since the war between the Na
tionnl and American leagues they havi
been accumulating a reserve fund li
case of future trouble. The Nationn
League hns nearly a million dollar
with which to fight off Invaders. Ii
the old days the clubs had little mot !
ey and some oi them were on the loj
hur side of the ledger. Now nil o
the clubs have money and they hav
prepared for war in times of peace
The American League Is also fortlfle
and they will Join the National if I
comes to a war with a third league.
Mr. Brush and Mr. Farrell have n
fear of a third team coining In No' '
York , because they do not believe thn
Fletcher or his associates can rals
enough money to get started. It woul
require at least ono million dollars t
establish a new baseball plant in No1
York. Frank Fnrroll knows this be
tor than anybody. Ho has Just mad
arrangements for a new plant at Tw
Hundred and Twenty-fifth street an
Broadway , and the work on that wl
cost him nearly one-half million do
lars.
It Is generally believed that a thlt
league would bo a financial Impose
blllty without a team in Now Yorl
It Is in New York and Chicago tin
most of the teams get their monc
while on the load. The new leagi
would have no trouble In getting Into
Plttsburg and Cincinnati , but whore
there are two trams already they will
have trouble In getting groundn.
