Started Five Years Ago on
Stupendous Task.
PRISONERS CONSTRUCTORS
Three Hundred of Them Employed
on the Work Proper—Some of
the Sanitary Precautions.
PORT LEAVENWORTH, KANS..
Aug:. 2.—Beginning' five years ago
with an appropriation of $643,000,
Lieutenant Colonel Slavens, com
mandant. of the Untted States Mili
tary Prison here, set out to build the
finest penitentiary In the United
States, to cost close to $3,000,000. The
new prison Is rapidly approaching
completion, and when It Is finished
the cost will be well within the orig
inal appropriation.
Meantime it will have changed Its
character, for Instead of making con
victs of deserters and other petty of
fenders, Uncle Sam is going to try
another plan. There Is too much
good soldier material wasted by the
old system. Uncle Sam is going to
conserve this by giving the deserters
a chance to go back to the ranks,
through the reformatory, and clear
their records.
Through their labor Uncle Sam has
been enabled to save the difference
between $643,000 and $3,000,000. Al
ready the prison walls, power plant,
auditorium and kitchen have been
completed, and within a very short
time two of the four cell wings will
be ready.
Labor Problem Easy.
The labor was the easiest problem
Colonel Slavens had to solve. Con
fined in the prison are men from
every walk of life. There are now 960
men in the prison, mostly deserters
from the army.
Three hundred of them are em
ployed on . the construction proper,
while the others are assigned to the
work of preparing material for the
different buildings. In addition, pris
oners operate the post terminal rail
way system, aid in the construction of
roads, the preservation of forests and
lands, till the soil on the prison farm,
besides making clothing and shoes.
The thick walls of the prison are of
concrete blocks, the foundation of
which is in some places 30 feet in the
ground. The cellhouses are of brick,
burned in the prison kiln; concrete
blocks, made by the prisoners, and
steel. The walls are several feet
thick.
The crushed stone was taken from
the prison quarry. Even the usual
expensive feature of building, the
woodwork, is costing the Government
little. From the forest of trees, many
of them walnut, the lumber for the
woodwork is obtained and the work
ers in the mill are turning out the
finest of finished material.
Three-story Cellhouses.
The cellhouses are three stories,
each containing eight tiers of modern
cells. Each cell is equipped with a
toilet, a cot, an electric light and a
chair. One man will be allotted to
each cell.
The big auditorium has a seating
capacity of 2,200. Th© stage is fire
proof and sufficiently large for a
big production. The scenery is being
painted by an artist who is serving a
term for desertion.
The dining hall is as large as the
auditorium and is now being used
daily. The bathhouse is said to be
one of the largest in the country;
the entire command can bathe within
a few hours. There are now 968 men
confined and the old prison quarters
ar© crowded to capacity. When
the new prison is completed 2,000
can be comfortably quartered.
The new prison is not to be a pris
on at all, but a detention home for
deserters and petty offenders. All
hardened criminals and those found
guilty of grave offenses are to be
confined at Alcatraz Island, Cali
fornia.
Plenty of Work to Do.
“After the prison is completed what
will all of the prisoners do?" Col
onel Slavens was asked.
“Why, there will be plenty of work
for all of them mapped out,” was the
reply. “We have a model farm here
of 700 acres and In September we are
to install a dairy with 50 cows to
supply the prison with milk and but
ter. The yield on the farm this year
will be great.
“But not all prisoners can be given
farm work, so within a short time
the Government is going to try out
the detention system. This principle
will first be introduced in the prison
here and it will be watched by mili
tary experts throughout the world.
“Prisoners will be detailed in com
panies and drilled and instructed in
the use of firearms, signaling, engi
neering and other branches. They
will be given much the same instruc
tion as are the regulars. Many of the
men now confined here would make
excellent soldiers if given the chance.
“Men who show themselves worthy
will have the chance to go back into
the service again following their dis
charge from the prison if they care
to. Before, when discharged from
the prison, they went away with a
black mark against them. They were
dishonorably discharged from the
army and never could re-enlist. I
think that the system will prove very
successful.”

OP MILLIONS
OF STRATTON
Mrs. Sophia Kennedy Stratton
Declares Her Mite Started Mine
Owner on Road to Riches.
DENVER, Aug. 2.—Mrs, S. G. Ken-
nedy, or, as she now calls herself,
Mrs. Sophia Gertrude Stratton, who
has filed suit against the trustees of
the Winfield Scott Stratton estate,
asking a widow's share of the mil
lions he left, tells a strange story.
She says she is entitled to half of
the Stratton millions—that she was
the legal wife of the famous mining
man, that he deserted her after tak
ing $10,000 of her money; that he be
came a bigamist by marrying again
in Colorado.
'I’ve had a hard time of It since
Stratton deserted me in Texas.” she
said. “I knew what it meant to
have money to spend before I mar
ried him, January 1, 1*74, when I
was ‘Widow Poor.’
Gave Stratton $10,000.
“I gave him $10,000 and he rode
away with my money, telling me he
was going to the Panhandle to buy
cattle.
“I waited several weeks, and, not
hearing, started out to search. In a
wagon with the twins, Scott and
Frances, only 4 months old, I start
ed out for Owens’ ranch, hundreds
of miles across the plains.
"Owens’ ranch was the headquar
ters of cattle men. In round-up time
Original of Stanslaw’s "American
Girl” Is Literally Captured at
Marriage License Window.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2.—The old
adage, “Faint heart never won fair
lady,” was never more forcibly illus
trated than in the announcement that
Miss Hannah Arline Beriinger, one
of the most famous artists’ models, Is
to wed Ronald J. McKinnon, mu
nicipal contractor, ip October, the
exact date not yet being set.
The circumstances leading up to the
engagement read like a page from
one of the day’s “best sellers," the
only essential difference being that
they are facts, while the other is
fiction.
Mr. McKinnon was walking one
day in Brentano’s studio, at Fifth
avenue and Twenty-eighth street,
with a friend, when he saw a picture
of Miss Beriinger by Penrhyn Stans-
law, the artist. He remarked to his
friend that from then on the ambi
tion of his life would be to meet the
original.
Repeatedly Views Picture.
The matter passed from his friend’s
mind, but not so with McKinnon. He
visited the gallery repeatedly to gaze
on the picture and finally confided
his attachment for the picture to a
second friend, and asked the latter
to visit the studio with him.
This the friend consented to do,
and on seeing the picture informed
McKinnon that he knew the young
lady well and would secure an intro
duction for him. The presentation
followed and immediately McKinnon
took his place In the young lady’s
train of admirers.
On July 9 last, Miss Beriinger ac
companied Mr. McKinnon to the city
hall on a matter of business. While
there Mr. McKinnon suggested there
was no time like the present, and
proposed they get their marriage li
cense then and there, thereby saving
the necessity of another trip. Miss
Beriinger consented and the license
was secured without any publicity
being given the fact. Several days
later alert newspaper men, scanning
the license docket, discovered the li
cense, and hence the story.
Original “American Girl.”
Miss Beriinger, who is 23, is con
sidered one of the most famous, if
not the most famous, models of the
day. She is the original of Stans
law’s "American Girl” and Is also
known as the “American Beauty.”
She has posed for such noted artists
as Charles Dana Gibson, Harrison
Fisher, and is responsible, in a great
measure, for the success of Clarence
F. Underwood. Mr. Stanslaw has
painted her picture, which he is to
enter in the International Beauty
Contest at Paris this fall, and has
great hopes of winning first prize.
Miss Beriinger is also the girl on the
Armour calendars.

POETESS WALKS
FROM SEA TO SEA
Woman Makes Jaunt to Prove
Her Theories on Humanity
and High Heeled Shoes.
OAKLAND, Aug. 2.—New York City
to Oakland is a long way to walk—
more than 3,000 miles—to prove to one’s
own satisfaction that one’s theory is
right. Mrs. Clara A. Mitchell, poetess,
dreamer and pedestrian, weight 120
pounds, hlght 6 feet 5 inches, has just
completed the walk to prove to her
own satisfaction that she can safely
repose faith in mankind.
She is satisfied that she Is sound in
her belief. She alHo satisfied herself
on two or three other points upon
which she was doubtful. Sne has fully
demonstrated that the power of intui
tion is a wonderful thing; that mechan
ical motor action Is all that the late
Professor James, of Harvard, claimed
for it. and that woman can walk very
comfortably and effectively In high
or even French-heel shoes.
Mrs. Mitchell left New York twenty-
eight weeks ago with $3.50 in her purse
and an abundant confidence in mankind.
She learned many things as a result of
her walk.
“As a psychological experiment, my
trip has been a success,’ 7 she states.
"During the first half of the walk I ate
but little to prove that physical endur
ance does not depend upon diet or mus
cle alone.
“I have proven that women can walk,
and walk most comfortably, in high
heels—even French-heel shoes. That Is
i ust the kind of shoes that I wear, and
walk an average of from 35 to 40 miles
a day. My longest distance haR been
45 miles in twenty-four hours. I walk
until I become weary.
“I carry no weapons and am unes
corted. In the loneliest spots In this
country I have found my way to the
Pacific Coast without asking questions.
I have been merely guided by my In
tuition and it has not yet failed me.”

FOR BACKWARD GIRLS
MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 2.—Special

per the regular classes were recom
mended by the School Board Com
mittee or. Education late yesterday.
This was the first such action in re
gard to backward girls.
you could find buyers there from all
over Texas.
“My twins died there on the ranch
from poor food and water.
“I couldn’t go back home just then
because another child was coming—
another of his and mine. She wag
born four months after I arrived at
the ranch.
“I went back horn© when I was
able to travel and with the hope of
every wife, waited for some word,
either that he was dead or alive. But
none came. At last I made up my
mind that Stratton was either dead
or an adventurer that had married
me to get my money.
Saw Him in Leadville.
"But I remained unmarried four
teen years. Then I married Ken
nedy. W© came to Leadville and it
was after his death that I heard the
man who had deserted me was not
dead. He came to Leadville and
promised to give me $10,000 and many
times more, but he never did.”
Mrs. Kennedy says that when the
suit she brought against the Stratton
estate is tried, she will have wit
nesses on hand who attended the
marriage of herself and Stratton.
“The records of the marriage were
destroyed in a fire that burned down
the courthouse.”
She says she never knew that he
had sold his mine for $10,000,000 un
til years after the sale had been
made. At present she makes wax
fiowers and sells them in Leadville.

Warning Smokers of Danger of
Appliances.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Warning
to the public against the use of the
automatic cigar cutter on the ground
that It is an agency for the spread
of diseases, was issued to-day by the
United States public health service.
The statement points out that many
smokers on purchasing a cigar and
before clipping off the end place it
between their lips while naying for
the purchase.

Boy Kind to Miser
Gets $40,000 in Will
Relatives Hear That Child Finds
Treasureln Hut and Try to
Break Instrument.
SPRINGFIELD, MO.. Aug. 2.—The
Missouri Supreme Court will be called
upon to decide the $40,000 claim of a
10-year-old boy against the estate of
a miser, who left him his fortune In
return for little acts of kindness the
child had done him.
Orris Northrup showed a genuine
affection for James Burge, an aged
recluse, who, on account of his miserly
habits, was shunned to a great extent
by his neighbors. But the child, with
a child’s keen insight into nature,
loved the old man, and the miser re
turned his affection, and when he died
left him the hut in which he and the
child often had played together.
A search of the hut revealed $40,000
hidden, and it is this claim that the
court will pass upon.

Prove Diplomats by Preparing
Meal in Big Boarding House
for Landlady.
CHICAGO. Aug 2.—When It comes
to tact and diplomacy Patrolmen
Fred Ecklund and William Lanning
are entitled to a ribbon of the deepest
ultra-marine. Yesterday they accom
plished the feat of taking the mistress
of a big boarding house out of her
kitchen right at dinner time, and yet
giving the boarders as good a dinner
as they ever had.
The story has its beginning in an
altercation on July 4 between Koch-
ten Mewelskl and his wife, Marie, of
No. 1535 Wilder street, which was to
have been reviewed in court yester
day. But when court opened neither
wife nor husband was there. Eck
lund and Lanning w r ere sent to bring
them In.
Mewels»kl they found at work In a
coal yard, and sent to court.
Mrs. Mewelskl they found clad In
the airiest of raiment, working over a
big dinner for her boarders.
"You’re under arrest—come on to
court.” »
“I have no time to be arrested,” she
protested. “My boarders must have
their dinner. Then I must get some
clothes on to go to court. The board
ers can not go without their dinner.
You must take off your coats and help
if you would have me hurry."
“You get your clothes on and wee'll
attend to the dinner,” said Ecklund.
So while Mrs. Mewelskl attired her
self Ecklund and Lanning donned
aprons, made the potato pancakes,
boiled the coffee, made the stew and
attended to all the intricate processes
of a boarding-house dinner, and
served it wdth all the proficiency of a
real chef and waiter.

Some Persons
“Flinch”
When Truth
Hunts Them
“If nny man 1s able to convince me and show me that X
do not think or act right, I will gladly change, for I seek
the truth, by which no man was ever Injured.”—Marcus
Aurelius, Roman Emperor. f
f
Some shrink and try to close their eves and ears
to the haunting fact that the little 2 1-2 grains of
Caffeine in every average cup of coffee is the de
mon which relentlessly pursues and starts various
ailments, such as biliousness, headache, nervous
ness, sleeplessness, bowel trouble, heart failure
and a long string of aches and ails, taking one form
in one person and another in another.
The effect of repeated doses of coffee, on those
who are susceptible to caffeine poisoning, is so
complex that it is difficult to foretell where its
hurt will be most serious; in Heart, Head, Eyes,
Nerves or where.
The stroke of trouble will come somewhere if
the daily doses are persisted in.
Of course, if anyone prefers to treat his body in
that way it is useless to suggest relief.
Let him “follow the trail” until badly wounded.
Some go so far they can’t get back to health.
Others quit the foolish, losing game before fixed
chronic disease sets in.
There is a mighty army of sensible ones, how
ever, who have bravely tested the truth with their
own bodies to see whether or not it was the truth
that coffee caused their ailments.
It’s an easy test. Quit coffee absolutely for 10
days. Take Postum hot and well-made and keep
track of the change toward health day by day.
It’s the most exquisite pleasure in the world to
be perfectly well with all the delicate and beauti
fully adjusted machinery of the body working in
harmony, not interfered with by drugs, one of the
most insidious and deceptive of which is caffeine in
coffee. j
t
This Is Truth. /
Meet it bravely with head up and a hearty
handclasp.
Truth thus made welcome will prove your
best friend.
These are facts without regard to our own
opinion, or to whether or not you use Postum.
However, it is well to consider that famous
food-drink because it supplies a hot beverage of
the deep seal-brown color of coffee, which turns to
the rich golden-brown when cream is added.
It has a snappy flavor much like the old-time
real Java, but there is no “sting” in it, no caf
feine or other drug of any sort. It is skillfully
manufactured of wheat and a trace of New Or
leans molasses.
It comes in two forms. One called Regular
