Conviction in th state court would have meant incarceration in the tate penitentiary, where life for J he con vict is far harder and cannot be compared with that at the federal prison. Itaatiao f Dally Life. For Mabray and his associates, sent op from Council Bluffs, th routine of life during six day of.each week at the federal penitentiary, will be this: At 1 o'clock in tbe morning the big bell will found and they will b required at once to leave their bunks and make up their bed. There are no chambermaids. Then they must deal their cuspidor and weep their cell. Con ldering the slue of the apartment, the lat ter Job is not an arduoui one. .Th prison- era, while prohibited from smoking are permitted to chew and a ration of tobacco 1 served.

Breakfast Is served at T:M o'clock and le a good substantial meal. Breakfast over the prisoners go to their respective tasks and work until noon when the big bell sound for dinner. Forty-fiv minute 1 al lowed for dinner and then the prisoners r put to work again until 4 o'clock, when top per Is served. This 1 the last meal for the day and to some unaccustomed to such a routine, may eeem a long time between sup per and breakfast. The bunks In the cell are decidedly narrow and It would not do for the prisoner to have lat meal with the possibility of "night mare." An occu pant of a cell bunk ha to sleep quietly or otherwise he would be apt to fall over board. Caa Read or Talk TIU P. M. After grilng to hla ceil aftrr supper, th prisoner can read or talk with hi cell- mat until t o'clock, when th light ar turned out. Th prisoners at the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth are well fed. The food Is of the very best and there la no atlnt. A prisoner appetite is not restricted. He IS permitted at each meal to eat all he wants, but waste of the food is strictly prohibited and is punishable. Not only is th food of the very best quality, but It Is varied at each meal and is well cooked. The kitchen at the federal prison I of a necessity an Immense place and repre sents th acme of culinary science. No ex pense was spared in it equipment and like every other building and department in ttifi big institution Is a model of sanitary Per fection. Everything Is cooked or baked by steam, the immense cooking utensil being heated by steam of great pressue. Th meat is of the highest grades, as a visit In the refrigerating room will disclose. Here can be seen big quarters of beef, hams by the hundreds, strips of breakfast bacon, dried beef, counties rolls of sausage and bologna Th bread, which 1 also of th highest quaMty, Is baked fresh In revolving oven for each meal. The bills of fare ar all made out by T. N. Williamson, th chief steward: Jim Frivolity at Meal Tlsae. There is ho frivolity at meal time. Ma bray and the other "mlkers" will not be permitted to discuss current events or topics of th day with on another or with their fellow prisoners. The strictest silence is maintained and a prisoner while eating must keep hi "eye front." In its equipment the vast dining hall much resembles a big school room. It has a seating and feeding- crpaclty of LBW men. There are rows upon rows of benches, with a board or table in front, much of th character of a scEool desk. Each bench teats ten men. Each man has in front of him a plate, a cup, knife, spoon and fork. Th plate aud cup are first placed upside down. The men enter the hall in squads, with their respective guards bringing up the rear. The men carry their caps In their right hand, rained to a line about the center of the chest On taking their seats they fold their arms and look straight ahead. The guards, with their long "night sticks," take tip positions In the aisle between the rows of benches. The captain of the day occupies a seat beihlnd a desk on a small platform at the head of the room racing me benches. When all ar seated the captain strikes the desk with hla gaveL This is 'grace." The moment the gavel strikes every prisoner at once Urn his plate and cup right side up and the noise of over 1.000 plates and cup befang turned on the bare board simultane ously is deafening. Then the trusties who sre detailed as waiters, with white caps and white aprons over their prison garb, march dewn tbe aisles with the food hi Immense cans and pans. Pome deal out the bread, others th meat and gravy, ethers the potatoes and others the coffee. Hew He Mat Get Mmwm. After the first service if a prisoner wants more he makes his wants known to the waiters In the following manner! If he wants bread, ha holds up his right hand. J If he wants coffee or water, according to which is being served at tbe meal, he holds up hla cup. If be wants meat, he holds up his fork. If he wants soup, he holds up his spoon. If he wants vegetables, he holds up his knife. Her are sots of the prison rules regu lating' sneal beursi - Eating; or drinking before or after th bell sounds, using vinegar in th drinking water, or putting meat) on th table are prohibited. Wasting food in any form Is not tolerate. A prisoner must not ask for or allow the waiter to plac more food on his plate than he can eat. After finish ing the meal the prisoner must place hit knife, fork and spoon on right side of plate and sit erect with arms folded. When th sign a given .to arise he must drop hands to side and at the second signal march out and take his place in line in a prompt arid orderly manner. Dlsatamtloa for Oee Behavior. Mabray aed hla eleven fellow "mlker." if they obey tbe rules and da nothing to merit punishment, will be entitled to six day for each month of their sentences for "good, time." Thus Mabray and th other nine who were sentenced to two years each, can reduce their terms by 144 days or nearly five months. Bert Shores and Ole Marsh, who were sent up for fif teen months each, can reduce their time by ninety days, -or - three months. Aa act passed by congress in June, 1J governs Uie time which a prisoner can earn off his sentence. This act provides that a federal prisoner, other than on sentenced for life, shall b entitled to a deduction from the term of his sentence to be estimated aa follows, commencing on the first day of his arrival at the penitentiary, prison or Jail: Vbqu a sentence of not less than six months nor more than one year, flv days for each month; upon a sentence of more than one year and les than three rears, six day for each month; upon a sentence of not lets than three years and less than five year, seven day a for each month; upon a sentence of not lee than flv year and less than ten years, eight day for each month; upon a sentence of ten years or more, ten days for each month. att f Offeaaee, The following are considered offenses and subject th prisoner gulity of them to punishment I Ansm eriug- to number in improfier manner.

Loss of all "good time " It speaks wall for the discipline at the Leavenworth penitentiary that of the more than 1.000 prisoners there only two were wearing the striped prison garb the day Mabray and the eleven other "mlkers" entered Its portal. On March 22, the day Prank B. Clark. United States marshal for tbe southern district of Iowa, and his force of deputies turntd over to Major McClaughry, the twelve convicted in the federal court at Council Bluff a. there were 1 Ms prisoners in the federal penitentiary at Leavenwcrth. Th arrival of Maybray and his com panions brought the number up to 1.020. All Colors Ma Races. Of the 1.001 prisoners there befor th arrival of John C. Mabray and his corps of wrestler. pugilists, jockeys and steerer. COT were white, Kt negroee. sixty-two Indians, ten Mexicans, four Japanese, on Chinaman and en Filipino. Of these, as before-mentioned, but tw were third-grade prisoners, wearing; stripes. Classed as second-grade prisoners wer 881, whll 114 wer first-graders, wearing uniform not cnllk that worn by federal soldiers in the time of the civil war and with "stars" on their breast. This star entitles the prisoner to move about the encloeur without a guard at his heels. Of th LOOS prisoners, 134 ar "llf term ers," and their only hope of ever seeing the outsld world again la a poaalbl par don from ' tha president of th United States. For the fiscal year ending June 80, 13QS, taking an average of 77S convicts tn th federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth it cost Unci Sam 1170,14.1 for their main tenance, or . an average cost per man per year of $21, or an average cost per man per day of a fraction over 60 cents. The .verage cost of feeding was 44 S3 per man per year, or liJ cents per man per day, Allowed Tare rrlrllegei. On entering the establishment presided over by . Major McClaughry, Mabray and his eleven companions were given three tickets entitling them to the following privileges as long as tfcey obey strictly all the rules and regulations: First, one ration ol chewing; tobacco each week. Second, permission to write a letter or letters once In two week. Third, permission to see friends once In four weeks, except on Sundays and holi days. They will be permitted to receive ruoh newspapers, msgaxtnea and books as th warden may approve. No sporting or sensational papers of any description are admitted. TIThen It becomes necessary for a prisoner to write special letters this per mission is usually granted by th warden. The visit of a prtsoner'a friend or rela tive, which is in th presence of a guard. is supposed to b restricted to half an hour, hut if the prisoner is well behaved this is generally extended te an hour or even longer. There la no restriction en the number of letters a prisoner may receive. but all letters and papers of every de scription are first examined under tbe direction of the warden before being given to the prisoner. Maybray May Coatlaae Bible. There is an excellent library, and Ma. brsy, who cultivated a taste during his Incarceration tn the county Jails in Dea Moines and Council Bluffs for theological and historical literature, can continue to Improve hla mind upon these lines of study. The library contains works on religion. ethics and sociology, history, biography, travels, th sciences, arts, literature, gen eral reference works, besides a large supply of fiction and bound magazines. In addi tion it contains books in French. German, Italian, Polish, Scandinavian and Spanish. There Is a large chapel, in which services are held on Sundays and at intervals en tertainments for the amusement of the prisoners. The auditorium of the chapel has a seating capacity of 1,000, opera chairs being used. Just above the entrance in a gallery for tbe accommodation of visitors who may attend the services which will s at ISO persona There is a large and imposing stage, with rooms on either side. One room is used as a Roman Catholic chapel, while the other Is used for the smaller meetings. l4iaier 1st th Orefceetra. There 1 an orchestra composed of prison ers and Leon Lozier. the foot racer, who was one ef the twelve men committed from Council Bluffs last week, being a violinist will be given an opportunity to display his musical talents In thla orchestra. In fact, th day Loiter entered tbe establishment. Major McClaughry said they were in great need of a violinist. While in the jsil st Coun cil Bluffs Lozier put in his leisure time playing the fiddle for bis own edification and that of the other prisoners. It is not known tf any of the other "mlkers" possess any musical talents. If they do they did not make it known like Lozier. The peculiar talents, however, of the two Forbes boy. Ed McCoy, pugilist, and of Bert Shores and "Ole Marsh." tbe wrest lers, will not bs permitted to go to waste. Major McClaughry, when Informed of the sporting exhibitions these men could put up, told United States Marshal Clark that he was glad to get some new talent and that he would errsngw for an entertainment in the near future when the star per formers among the "mikers" would be given prominent places on the program.

WILL VISIT UJTK50WU LASTS Calef Porpoe la Stady th EakJaaa, f Whoaa HI Mother Vu Oae, to Leer a. If Feasible, Where They Originate. Knud Tlasmufsen, the Danish explorer and one-time partisan of Vr. Cook, haa an nounced Ma program for a three years' exile tn the barren land within the Artie circle, which he shall devote ro the study of his ancestor, Hasmussen is perhaps the only educated white man who needs go to Eskimo land to learn something about his forebears. His mother was a full blooded Eskimo and not only is Rasmussea proud of U. but he feels that by his kin ship with the Eskimo his mission Is that of adding to the world's knowledge' of the scattered no J them peoples. ' According; to the announcement which Rasmussen has made through the current number of the Journal of the Royal Geo graphical society of London, the Danish Ethnographical expedition to the Central Eskttnoa, which he is to head, and which is to receive the support of the Danish gov ernment, till leave Copenhagen some time during the summer of 19U in a ship of the typ of Gjoa, which threaded a northwest passage in Amundsen's expedition several years ego. Besides the crew the ship will carry a geologist and a physician, who will also be an expert In botany and zoology. Provision will also b mad to have ship's officers who axe able to do cartographical and meteorological work, for ft is R&s mussen's plan to strike into fields north of tbe continent of America, which hav either never been visited or only casually explored. Th great aim of the Danish-Eskimo explorer and scientist is to trace the migration of th Greenland Eskimo from their supposed original home somewhere about the northern shore of the American continent. Heretofore soienitusl who hav made studies of th Eskimo hav always gone just so far In their reseengh.es into the history and ethnology of tha strange nomads of the north and then have found themselves up against a black wall of mystery the mystery of th people' origin. Th Greenland Eskimo, especially those In tfas Smith Sound region, from which Peary and Cook drew their aides In polar work, seem to be particularly barren of folk tales or of tradition waloh might throw light upon their origin. Ethnologists who have visited the frozen region have guessed that there was some bond be tween the Eskimos of Alaska and those of Greenland, but theirs has been a guess un supported by evidence. Rasmussen hopes to rind such evidence and to fix, if ha oan, th original starting point of all the Eskimo migrations. In pursuance of this scheme he Intends to drive his ship through Hudson strait after having first made a call at Danish West Greenland for sledges and fur sup plies. By way of Fox Basin h plana to find a winter quarters in the Fury and Hecla straits, which separate Melville peninsula from Cockburn Land at about the eighty-fifth parallel of longltuda With his base here he plans to spend the first winter out In sledge Journeys tn and around th northwestern shoulder of Baffin "The Inhabitants of northwestern Baffin Land ar very little known." says Ra. mussen. "They have never been subjected te a thorough ethnographical study. The BafflDlanders found and studied by-Frans Boas In the Cumberland sound toward th southeast live so far from the inhabitants of northwestern Baffin Land and under such widely different conditions of llf that It is Impossible to make any com parison between the two (Toups, Upon the whole the Eskimos in tbe northwest ern Baffin Land are among th moat un known of th Eskimo people, though this district must naturally be looked upon aa the very thoroughfare from th American continent to Greenland," After th first winter in the Arctic Ras mussen plans to break from th to as soon aa spring comes and go south in th Chesterfield inlet country. This long, lender finger of salt water that points westward from Hudson bay at about fifty eight latitude into a cluster of lakes In the barren grounds will be th theater for Rasraussen'a activity during the fallowing fall and winter. Here la the country where th Eskimo and th Indian types, known generically as the Mountaineer Indians, meet along a ragged and hotly contested frontier. The Barren Grounds Eskimos are as lltle known as ths Baf Inlanders, except to th fugltiv traders who risk their ships la the Hudson bay ice during the brief summer montha of free water. By sledge parties Rasmussen hopes to find these Barren Land tribes and by barter to procure from them ethnological speci mens which later he will correlate with those obtained from other tribes. The rest of Rasmussen's exile will be spent, according to his plans. In western trips through the maze ef islands that fringe the northern rim of the continent aa far as Coronation gulf, which lies be tween the 110th and tlSth parallels, just above the Arctle circle. This la a country which la absolutely desolate and unvislted by white men, save on such expeditions of discovery as that planned by Rasmussen. How many Eskimos or what tribes of the nomads live within, the stretch from Cor onation rulf to Melville peninsula nobody know. Here is sn entirely new field open to the scientist Rasmussen expects that he will live with some of these Eskimos almost constantly, taking sledge trips with them Into the interior barren lands and studying their problems- of life and tribal communism. Rasmussen believes that the seat of Eskimo culture lies somewhere In the bar ren grounds between the Chesterfield Inlet country and Coronation gulf, and this vast tract represents the original home of th peoples of the north. He ssys that the fishing methods of the inland Eskimo have been modified and fitted to tidewater con ditions and have become th common meth- Any Woman Can Have Oeautlful Hair ( Prom French Beauty Monthly) No woman should use wster upon her hair oftener than once In two months," saya Mr. Fournler. the noted French scien tist.

"Among the Greenland Polar Eskimos of Smith sound." says Rasmussen, "I have been so lucky as to meet a cumber of families who must be looked upon as being the last immigrants from the American Eskimo districts, and though through con versation with these immigrants I have not been abie to learn where exactly they tad their native country, smong other things because the men who made and directed the voyage are dead, while those who are now sJlve only took part tn it as small children, I look upon it a all but settled that the country from where they Immigrated must be sought about the northwestern interior of Baffin Land; that is to say, in the sea Inside Bylot island, as well as along the Fury and Hecla straits, in which two territories the popu lation along inland routes, which are still unknown to us seem to have been in close communication with one another."
