Judge Landis at the same time threatened to send half a dozen proprietors and em ployes of loan agencies to jail for con tempt In failing to tell the truth.

Eames, member of a St Louis firm of architects, today denied that his firm was responsible for any delay or ex travagance in the construction of the Government prison at Leavenworth, Kan., as charged In a complaint to Attorney-General Wickersham. More than fl, 500.000 has been spent on the work, which has consumed 13 years. The building has not been com pleted and complaints by members of Congress to the Attorney-General caused him to send Joseph F. Fishman. of the Department of Justice, to Leav enworth to go over the records. . "The law for the construction of Government prisons," Karnes said, "directs that prison labor shall be used as far as possible. "The delay in construction is in tentional. The purpose is to keep the men in the prison employed and ap propriations are made to supply just enough money to keep the work going from year to year." ) MITCHELL REFUSES PLEDGE Labor Ijeader Says Assurance Would He Admission of Guilt. WASHINGTON, March 6. John Mitchell, vice-president of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, declined to day to give to Judge Wright, of the Supreme Court of the District of Co lumbia, any assurance that he expected 'hereafter to lend adherence to the de crees of the judicial tribunals of this land." To do so, lie declared, would be an admission that he had heretofore failed to comply with lawful decrees. Mitchell said, he wouM rather be convicted of contempt than- be acquitted on any other ground than the facts in the ca-se. His letter to Judge Wright concluded: "Indeed, I should feel more content ment if I am convicted, conscious of the rectitude of my course and the truth fulness of my evidence, than were I ac quitted on any ground other than the facta as they have been presented to the court and the law as it has been enunciated by the higher tribunal."

March 6. The state should assist poor young men to marry -between the ages of 21 and 25, in the opinion of Professor William F. Boos, of the Massachusetts General Hospital. Speaking before the Twentieth Cen tury Club, he said: "Early marriages are calculated to raise the standard of chastity. Young men should be aided financially In mar rying young, if they cannot, without aid. undertake the responsibility.

SUN WORSHIPERS WATCHED Cult Would Get $1,000,000 by Death of Lad "Billie." 'PRINCE" IS HELD INSANE Dr. Olonian Zar-.dusht Ilanisli Blames Mormon Church for His Arrest and Raid on Tempfe, Women's Adulation Bores. CHICAGO, March 6. (Special.) Government officials admitted today that in the raid of Mandaznan Temple, of the Sun Worshipers' cult, they had secured information as to the where abouts of Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay, of Philadelphia, and her son "Billie," heir to $1,000,000. who was spirited out of the city several months ago. At that time the boy was much ema ciated and It was discovered that ne was being confined to a diet of sour beer and grapes. There were said to have been predictions around the Sun Worshiper headquarters that "Billie" would not live long. In the event of his death his fortune would pass to the cult. Letters Are Seised. Recent letters from Mrs. Lindsay to Dr. Otoman Zar-Adusht Hanish were seized in the raid but the news was withheld until detectives were well on their way to the city from whence the letters came. The Government also maintains it has clinched the .case against the "Lit tle Master," who also is known as the Prince of Adusht, in two directions. He was trapped into sending the books and pamphlets which the Government says were indecent, to a supposed wo man, in reality a Federal Secret Service man who used the prefix "Miss" in his request for the books. Followers Are Watched. If Hanish is convicted he will be li able to a fine" of $10,000 and five years in a Federal prison. Meanwhile the 20 branches of his temple in other cities will be raided and his followers everywhere closely watched. Following his sensational capture while hiding in a coal hole and his re lease upon two bonds, Hanish was not in evidence today. A physician was the chief witness before the grand jury and testified that Hanish was undoubtedly insane through his in intense egotism. Many subpenas were issued today for devotees of the cult in this and other cities, and they will be forced to come here and testify. Mormon Church Blamed. Hanish blames his woes upon the Mormon Church. When he lived in Salt Lake City he was in continual warfare with the Mormons, and in sists they have followed him here and are back of the prosecution. Hanish. insists he is a Persian, although he modifies this by saying his mother was German and his father a Russian, while he was born in Persia and came to this country because of the rivalry between Germany and Russia as to which should claim him because of his devoutness and the especial gifts be stowed upon him by the gods. The Government investigators laugh at this story and say he is an Irishman and that his name was Henne.ssy before ha organized his cult and became a mil lionaire. - Hanish angered a number of bis wealthy women devotees today by an interview, in which he said these women bored him excessively. Women's Devotion Bore. "Life is a gi?at trial to us who are so much in the public eye," he said. "We really do not care for the adula tion that is showered upon us. It gets eventually to be a great bore. Many of our devotees are women. Their zeal for me actually has become so great as to be an embarrassment. Now, as a matter of fact, I detest this eulogism. It sickens me." The Government intimates that it is In possession of much sensational evi dence against Hanish that cannot be disclosed until he comes to trial. This evidence probably includes cases where women made insane by the ordeal which they must pass have fled, absolutely nude, from the temple to the streets. There is one case where a woman was found by the po lice In this condition and sent to an asylum. She never recovered her rea son.
