V MILITARYPR1SDN RUINED BY FLAMES Leavenworth's 800 Convicts Removed Under Heavy Guard During Fire. LOSS IS NEARLY $200,000 Prisoners, Awed by lleglment of Armed Men, Make Xo Attempt to K.soape Cavalry Guard Sick Men at Hospital. I. RAVEN WORTH. Kan.. April -1. The military prlron at Fort Leavenworth was partly destroped by fire early this morn Imb. The prisoners were removed frJm tlie cell houses under heavy guard of Vnlted StaU-s troops and confined In Blockades. . Non of the prisoners escaped, so far " " hasty resume of the situation showed, but UJs may not be definitely known until daylight. Owing to the low water pressure the Are department of the fort was almost useless. The fire was fought by the , ldlers, of whom two were Injured. - Much excitement attended the removal . of the prisoners. It was . feared they would make an organized break for lib erty. Fire Starts in Tailor Shop. The fire broke out at 10 o'clock in the tailor shop and soon it was seen that the main building was endangered. A great outcry at once arose in the prison, the convicts fearing they would be burned to death. Boon several companies of soldiers, in. eluding cavalrymen, were under arms. A strong cordon of troops was then thrown around the prison, and the de livery of the prisoners was begun. When the bolts of the cellhou.-. doors , were shot hack the flames had reached the main .buljding. if everything had not been done "hi perfect order, lives would have been lost. SoldierH Surround Convicts. Boldlers with leveled weapons met the convicts as they were marched out. The latter had been warned that the slightest telliKerent move would mean death. Shoot them down in their tracks commanded the officers, "If they don't keep. in line.'" ' -The rlflo barrels of the soldiers, and the swords of officers glinting In the fire light effectually awed the prisoners and they followed meekly their heavily armed Buards to the stockade. The prison building wan valued at 200. W. The blacksmith shop, tailor shop, machine shop and other buildings went tlrst. All this while the wjiole prison had been surrounded by troops. When the main building actually had begun to burn jT1ie stern military rescue waa carried out .."with precision. I"'.' - 800 Men in Peril. There are prisoners in the lot. It took the whol Thirteenth Infantry, under command of Colonel R. H. R. Long borough, to remove them safely. The sick, were removed first, placed in ambulances and taken to the Fort Kav enworth Hospital under guard of cavalry. The records were removed from the ad ministration building. Then the general order was given for taking out all in the building. Soon after the last convict and at tendant had left the building and the cordon of ?oldlers had withdrawn to a enfe distance, some of the wails of the prison fell with a crash. At 2 o'clock some of the cell-houses had been cooled sufficiently to allow half of the !W0 prisoners to return. POLICEMEN ARE INDICTED (Continued From First Page Klonlen are has yet to be determined The , specific raid which brought on the Indictments was that on the Quelle, In which. peculiarly enough. Patrolman Rlohard Stuart was arrested in company with- Miss Jessie Junes, a woman of ques tionable repute. With Klenien were Ser geant Joe Keller, Sergeant Tom Kav, late, ly resigned, and Patrolmen Blue and Kim, new members of the department. Captain Slover directed the raid. During their search of the Quelle three of the officers Invaded the room of George 1. Smith, an employe -of the Hone vm an Hardware Company. They compelled him to open his door, and Hashed their elec tric lanterns about the interior ot his , room. Kienlen was recognised, but the identity of the others, Is yet to be offi cially determine.!

Hear Sir: imrlng our session we have returned -"'true hills and three not true Mils and have had before us numerous Initiative nut tre of Insufficient evidence to return an Indictment. Among the matters before our body was an Investigation of what Is commonly krown tlis "the moral squad." We find they make a practice of raiding any house about which there has been any complaint, without In etigatlng as to whether the same was true cr not; also of making Initiative Investiga tions. We find they demand admittance to esry room in any house raided and on null-, trous occasions In a bosterous and Indecent manner, and In no rase wera they pro k 'd with a warrant. We believe officers have no authorltv to , t, h es.-h and every room li hn..H - i aided without being provided with a war rant of search or arr-sTT and recommend that any officer, before he may search anv house or room for the purpose of discovering per- sons In unlawful cohahttfttlnn or otherwise. be provided with the proper warrant. We find also It Is a custom to provide an officer im tne -proper amount of money to rent a room In a house under Investigation. His Instructions are to discover, by any means, a victim. And we find also an officer is de tailed to keep watch on outside to assist ofTlcer in room if he needs any assist ance of any nature. This seems to us use less waste of time and money. We recom mend that more discretion be used In thse raids and that a warrant clerk be provided to issue warrants at all hours. We would also recommend that in case officers be armed with a search warrant, more ex perienced men be sent .to execute the pro cess. Detention Home. Found this house In fair condition. We recommend that two cows be provided for the place and also that a barn be built. Also that the inmates be provided with proper clothing, so that they will be in fit condition to attend school and that due at-, tention be given that all children of proper age attend school. - Poor Farm. We visited the County Poor Farm. Found It In first-class condition. No recommend ations. Crittenton Home. We found In fair condition. We recom mend that some method be devised to utilize the vacant space of ground for growing vegetables for. the home. Our lncstlgatiors of the' city Engineer's Department have been very searching and ' "lr ronciuaea tnat the most lax meth- i ods prevail in every particular. Ta an illus tration, coal, lumber and oiher materials that are sent to the East Side are never reported as to what disposition is made of them. We find that coal and lumber are left at certain places without a keeper and it seems that any person van go to them and help himself to cr-al and lumber without inter ference. In fact, this is admitted. It seems that on several occasions city employes and others have secured coal from this place. We, the grand Jury, are pleased to note that the County Commissioners and Sheriff are working harmoniously together at tne Kelly Butte quarry, and that the present ar rangement of handling the trlsoner r- rears to be a success in every particular We visited Kelly Butte and concur In the suggestion ot the Road Supervisor that a guard and guardhouse ha ninirl nn . end of the quarry, over the shed connected "un roca crusner. for the reason that as the work goes on the prisoners are scat tered over a considerable area and we think that the extra guard should be added as a precaution.

Controversy Between Imitation and Straight AYhisky Interests Comes to Head. WASHINGTON,. March 31. President Taft was the storm center todav of a debate on the subject of "What la hisky?" The discussion before the Chief Executive, which was prelimi nary to an extended hearing to be granted by him next Wednesday, hingred upon the technical question at what point In the process of higher rectification old-fashioned straight be comes "imitation" whisky, under the rules of the pure food law as laid down by the Department of Agricul ture In accordance with a decision of ex-Attorney-General Bonaparte. Present at the conference of dis tillers and Government officials at the White House were Attornev-General wirkersham. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, Dr. Wiley, Dr. Dunlap and So licitor McCabe. of the Agricultural De partment: Joseph H. Choate. of New York, representing Canadian whisky interests, and representatives of other whisky interests. The distillers who take fusel oil out of their whisk' by higher methods of recti fication or redistillation, and color it in other ways than by the use of charred oak barrels, and whose product is now labelled 'Imitation whisky," are -desirous of securing a new ruling. They are opposed in this by the so-called "straight whisky" Interests. It Is said that under the system now employed in the Department of Agricul ture only whisky from which fusel oil has not been mechanically removed Is regarded as "straight whisky." Under the department ruling, it Is declared that most Scotch whisky and many of the higher grades of other whisky now on the market come under the obnoxious labeling of "imitation whisky" or com pound whisky.

D. Owens Arrested in Augusta on ' Old Indictment. MAN DENIES HIS IDENTITY I'romoter Had Picturesque Career, Rising to Position of Secretary of State In Indiana Before Mei oean Bubble Burst. auwsta, Ga March 31. Attorneys 1 representing W. F. Fowler, giving Hast- I mgs-on-tne-Hudson as his residence, have Instituted proceedings which will come up in the Superior Court Saturday. Fowler is hejd by the authorities as W. D. Owens, of Boston, under Indictment there for an alleged swindle Involving $35,000. Fowler declares it is a. case of mistaken identity. Detectives from Bos ton wiil arrive tomorrow to attempt identification. The arrest was made by the Augusta police at the Instance of Chief Bodeker of the Birmingham police, who has been working on the case for a number of years. The indictment is dated 1906. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. March SI. Spo clal.) The announcement from Augusta. Ga., that William D. Owens, a former Congressman from the Logansport dis trict, and Secretary of State from 1895 till 18S9. waa under arrest In that city, created comment here today among the victims of tha Owens Ubero Plantation schemes and likewise much interest among those who knew him as a minis ter T4 lf tin. swilmtrcr t IDfbC f . 1 I , . ...v "-'.7 11, luituwing an exposure of the schemes by ; which he secured Jl. 500,000. Owens began his career as a. promoter while Secretary of State and used his prestige as a state official of Indiana to forward his schemes. He purchased 6000 acres of worthless land in Mexico and the Ubero Company waa formed with Owens as president. Under glowing accounts sent out by Owens investors came in droves and pretty soon Owens had gath ered in all told something like $1,500,000. The bubble continued to grow until 1905, when it suddenly burst through an In vestigation of the Government, and the issuance of a fraud order against tha company's circulars. Owens was a Christian minister. His oratorical ability introduced him to the political arena and in 18R5 he was se lected for Coup.ress from Indiana. Later he was appointed Commissioner of Im migration. It was while he was Com missioner of Immigration that he fell in with some Mexican promoters. RUNS AMUCK WITH KNIFE Timber Cruiser Injures Government Agent in Saloon. While crazed by drink, J. G. Cusack. a timber cruiser. ran amuck in the Mathews saloon at Second and Morrison streets, at 12:50 o'clock this morning and slashed J. Nichols, a special agent of the Qovemment, in the hand with a large knife. Cusack tried to kill both Nichols and "Bill" Simmons, a candy vender, but was quickly overpowered. Nichols, who was accompanied by J. C. Jennings, had just bought some candy from Simmons when Cusack, who was a stranger to the men, grabbed a butcher knife that waa lying on the candy tray. He slashed at Simmons, but missed, and then made a lunge at Nichols' head. The latter threw up his arm to protect him self and waa badly cut in the hand. It took the combined elioi ts of Nichols, Simmons and Jennings to overpower the crazed timber cruiser, who was later lodged in jail, under the double charge of lighting and assault with a dangerous weapon. BAILEY AFTER DAIRYMEN State Food and Dairy Commissioner Prosecuting Offenders. Portland milkmen are being taken to task by Dairy and Food Commis sioner Bailey's office for selling im pure milk. Durinjr the past week a number of arrests have been made and one firm of dairymen, that of Tungen Kehrll, waa found to be an old of- or Today and Tomorrow $2-85 A splendid opportunity to purchase a new Spring Hat at less than cost of material, consistinc of tVin la toot cttrioo j fender, having been convicted on a similar charge last June and a fine of $50 was imposed.. The dairymen were found to have watered their milk. Grocers who buy milk of dairymen and pour off the cream, selling the milk to customers, are being prosecuted as well. N. P. Neilsen. a local grocery man, will be prosecuted on this charge. Others, it is intimated, are to he arrest ed on the same charge. Short weight butter-sellers, too, are under the ban. California butter, wrapped in packages less than the required weight, is com ing Into the Portland market and is being retailed here. Quantities of this butter are being seized by Mr. Bailey. Whether the butter will be made over into packages of the proper weight or be shipped out of the state, where the pure-food and full-weight laws are not so stringent, has not yet been de cided, but it is considered probable that the latter course will be followed.
