lole smiled.
"Mope is a wonderful thins." he
laid. "It in a brave thing. It goes
with men into the worst situations.
and the worse? the situation the louder
it talks.
Little Hope.
James Walker, assistant public de
fenckr. arrived at the cell with 1
typewritten motion for a new trial.
Coir, after reading it carefully and
making a few suggestions, signed the
paper and Walker took it to the
clerk a olhce to be Tiled.
Cole probably will be brought be
fore Judge Leslies early next week
, tor formal sentence to life imprison
went. '
Cole plainly showed that he has lit
tie hope of a new trial.
If he gets one, however, he said he
would not again act as his own coua
sel. - - '
"I w ill hire the best lawyer obtain
able, he said, it I can. raise the
money.
"Your friends' will put up the
; money?"
"No, I shall appeal to one man, a
cousin of mine, a wealthy manufac
turer. ' tie can easily supply the
money. My great aim is to keep
knowledge of my trouble from my
sistcc and mother.
Going to Behave Self.
Cole reverted to his evident belief
that the sentence is inevitable
"I understand this warden," Fenton,
is a square shooter," he remarked.
"I'm going to behave myself and win
his friendship.
"And be made a trusty?"
''No: there's little hope of that
When a man is escaped from another
prison they won't make him a trusty,
But I hope to be put on work as a
draftsman in the prison. You know,
I am an expert at that, it 1 am
doing that, the years will pass more
easily."
Cole related at length the particu
lars of his escape from Joliet prison
in 1920.
"I hated the warded, I'll admit."
he said, "because of a certain affair
which resulted in the death of a
friend of mine. I had access to cer
tain tools and, on behalf , of a lifer
whom I believed to be innocent, I
cut the bars. I could work only 10
minutes each night, but I did it. We
loth got away. He is in Argentine
now." -
Cote said that he invented an air
plane precision bomb releasing de
vice in 1918, but that the warden
would not permit him to send it to
Washington. He managed to place
a letter and the plans in a shipment
of chairs sent out of the prison, to
gether with a letter to Chairman
Coffin of rthe aircraft board. It
reached Washington just about when
the armistice-Was signed. " ' ,

Seventeenth Infantry, Now in
Texas, to Be Quartered
ia Forti Crook and
Omaha.
Approximately 1.000 aoljieri will
be quartered permanently in Fort
Crook and Fort Omaha barracks.it a
recommendation that Seventh corpi
area headquarters be moved from
I'ort Crook to the Army building at
Fifteenth and Dodge streets if sanc
tioned by the War department at
Washington.
The recommendation, made by
Gen. Francis J. Kernan, command
ant of the Seventh corps area, pro
vides that the entire personnel at
Fort Crook now take quarters in the
Army building. If there is an over
flow the two large brick buildings
at Twenty-second and Hickory
streets, now occupied by the inter
mediate quartermaster department,
which becomes inactive July 1, will
be remodeled and used, acijprding to
this recommendation.
Moving of troops to Forts Omaha
and Crook is in lines with the gen
eral army policy of concentrating
troops in permanent barracks in ail
parts of the country. It is probable
that the 17th infantry, now at Fort
Sam Houston, Tex., wfll be quar
tered in the two Omaha posts.
As a result of Gen. Kernan's
recommendation, numerous branches
of the service now quartered in
the Army building may be forced
out - into the cold, cold world,
officers say. At present the building
is occupied by the army and navy re
cruiting branches; the attending sur
geon, the finance office, employing
13 clerks; headquarters 89th reserve
division, headquarters 66th cavalry
division, headquarters 17th Army
corps and the Seventh corps area co
ordinator.
About 300 officers and men at the
Seventh corps area headquarters at
Fort Crook will be affected by the
contemplated Anove, . which is ex
pected to take place within a few
weeks.
Bill for Boulder Canyon
Dam to Be Given to House
Washington. April 22. -The bill of
Representative Swing, republican,
California, proposing construction of
a dam at Boulder canyon, in the Colo
rado river and an all-American canal
connecting that project with lands in
the Imperial valley, California, and
in 'Arizona for irrigation purposes,
will be introduced in the house early
next week, probably Tuesday.
Representative Swing announced
today that conferences with delega
tions from California, called to per
fect the measure, had resulted in. a
tentative agreement on the bill which
embodies the recommendations of
Director Davis of the reclamation
service. 1
Mr. Swing said it was probable
that $50,000,000, originally, proposed
for erection of the dam, would be re
duced to $45,000,000, and the cost of
the canal, previously estimated at
$30,000,000, would finally be fixed at
$25,000,000. ' ' . .. : -
He said a provision also would be
included to give former service men
preferential claims on the unsettled
lands which will be irrigated by the
canal.'- . ' . .

make any forecast as to whether the
