CAMP OF MATHER
Action of Congress in Turning
Down Roosevelt Cripples
Enlistment Flans of
Lincoln Man.
" A pall of gloom has been spread
over the war-like ambitions of Col-
'.onel Mather. He had signed up to re
cruit a regiment of Kebraskana, join
Colonel Roosevelt and, after an over
sea voyage, lead his men into the
trenches to face the Germans.
The action of congress, when it
threw into the discard the proposition
of Colonel Roosevelt to enlist a -full
division for oversea service, put a
crimp in the enlistment plans of Col
onel Mather,
For more than a month Colonel
Mather had been signing up men to go
to France and according to his state
smen! something more than 700 had
signed up. Among them were Rough
' Riders, cowboys, veterans of trie
1 Spanish-American war, expert rifle
shots and scouts who had served
along the Mexican border.
"With congress against the propo
sition," said Colonel Mather, "I am
unable to figure out a way by which
Colonel Roosevelt can raise an inde
pendent army union for service in
Europe, or elsewhere. It is hard to
say what effect Hie action of con
gress will have upon our men. We
have not decided to disband the or
ganization because of the hope that
later on some favorable action may
be taken. - .
( , "It is likely that some of our men
will enlist in the volunteer army, but
they will not 1 happy. They had de
i termined to follow Colonel Roose
' velt and the old flag and the action
of congress is very disappointing."

WROTE BARS BEHIND BARS
Atlanta Prisoner Composed . Walu
Said to-Rival the "Beautiful
- Danube." .
Raleigh wrote his history of the
world in the Tower of London. Morse
made a million while he was confined
in the penitentiary, at least he laid
there the foundation for his financial
rehabilitation that has since been one
of the wonders of the commercial
world. i
Sing Sing convicts have kept in
touch with the stock market and won
fortunes and confinement in jail has
time and again, stimulated literary
production in this country and in
England, but one does not usually
think of a ceil as the birthplace of nut-
sic. mere is something about the
cold gray walls, the - handcuff s and
ball and chain that would seem to be
too much for Orpheus, and if Eddie
Foyonce found that there was poetry
in the lockstep glide, that was in
comic opera, where everything may
happen.
But now a prisoner at Atlanta has
written a waltz that has been named
naiyn mat is , Heralded as a
rytamic, swaying refrain, the great
est waltz aince the "Beautiful
Danube," and it swept great audi
ence of 2,000 men off their feet when
it was played for the first time the
other day by the prison orchestra,
making the self-conscious convicts
forget themselves.
Submitted by the author to a New
.Jtork publishing bouse, the piece was
instantly accepted, and it is predicted
that this winter every one will be
whistling the melody that was born
in a convict's mind. Truly, "stone
walls do not a prison make, nor iron
out a cage. Boston Transcript
