JAIL SYSTEM CONDEMNED
Irish Prisoners Said to Bo Subject
to Cruel Treatment.
DUBLIN'. May . .". (Special.) A
scathing attack on the cruel way In
which Irish criminals are treated In
- jail has Just been published by Mar
garet E. Cousins, who has just con
cluded a careful Investigation of the
state of Irish prisons. .
"No attempt," she declares, "is made
by the authorities to strengthen the
sense of responsibility In the Irish
convict, will. Initiative, self-reliance,
self-respect, are crushed out. The Irish
prison system breaks down In that it
discharges men and women less fitted
than ever to meet the temptations and
struggles of life. They leave Jail
weaker in the power to Jhlnk and act
Tor xnemseives, sunenng irom tne in
rrensed desire for stimulation, which
is the Inevitable reaction from depres
sion, and become an easy mark for
the policeman in search of promotion.
"One hears that long-term prisoners
become most refractory and bad-tem
pered." adds Miss Cousins, "but that
is little cause for wonder. ' When their
term is at length dragged through,
what wretches are cast out on the
world branded! Their hardest punish
ment of disgrace among their friends
has still to be faced, and there is no
employment open for them- The case
f the remand prisoner Is the most try
ing of all. The long hours spent in
the cell with nothing to take one's
mind from tha agony of suspense as to
how justice, or injustice, may be meted
nut at the coming trial, the absence of
any kind of work, the insufficiency of
exercis. the silence, all lead to hope
less misery and Ill-health. .
"I know of women and girls on re
mand who cried all day lr. their cells,
acquitted later of the crimes with which
they were charged, yet the law gave
them no compensation for the agony
they had unjustly gone through! There
la nn urgent need for change In this
type of cruelty sanctioned by the Irish
la a'.
"A Jail. too. can effect no reform In
reformers. It Is for them merely a
place where they mark time while pub
lic opinion la being brought into line
with their Ideas. Political prisoners
come out of prison burning with a
clearer flame for the cause they have
served. In fact. Jail as a deterrent to
them proves but a grim farce,"

SKBASTIAX 3IAKES " DISCOVERY
Bunco Man, In Confession, Involves
Ios Angeles Detective.
SAX FRANCISCO. May 12. Chief of
Police Sebastian, of Los Angeles, after
examining three convicted bunco men
today relative to the connection with
graft in the Los Angeles police depart
ment, announced tonight that he will
ear one more witness and then begin
sweeping investigation of his depart
ment. ' The chief, after hearing .the
torlca told by the bunco men, declared
was pretty well convinced that graft
was being carried on between detec-
ives of the southern city and the bunco
gang.
Rafael Pasqulni. a convicted bunco
man. who was a former resident of Los
Anreles. was one of those examined by
Chief Sebastian. Pasqulni In telling of
the graft said:
The police of Los Angeles are as
bad as they are here. I was working
for an electric company mere wnen
William Ina-ram. a detective came to
my house and told me of the money I
could make by going Into the bunco
game. I refused at first, but later when
Ingram came to see me again in his
touring car I finally consented. But I
told him I would not operate there, as
my wife and folks lived there. So I
came to San Francisco, where I turned
many deals."
At this point Chief Sebastian pro
duced' the photographs of 26 detectives
for Pasqulni to look at. After spreading
them out on a table the bunco man.
without a minute's hesitation, pointed
at that of Detective Ingram and said:
"There is Bill Ingram.
California Giovanetti and Maurice De
Martini, two other bunco men. were ex
amined bv the chief of the southern
city. Both told the official of their
knowledge of graft between the Los
Angeles police and the bunco ring. The
examination was carried on behind
closed doors.
Chief Sebastian tonight attended a
session of the police commission.

"BOISE. Idaho, May ll.-(Special.)-
The warring Democratic factions In
this state have reached an agreement
on the division of Federal patronage,
the terms of which are that In return
for the United States District Attorney
and United States Marshal plums which
are to go to the selected ones in the
Hawley-Perky faction, all other Feder
al appointments outside of the postof
fices will go to the Nuget-Pence fac
tion. The latter positions include reg
ister and receivers of three land of
fices, internal revenue collector, sur
veyor-general and a number of other
Federal plums of equal Importance.
The distribution Is to be made during
the month of July.
Ben R. Gray, state chairman of the
party is to be United States Marshal,
according to the terms of the agree
ment and Frank Moore, of Moscow,
Is to receive the appointment of United
States District Attorney. -These are
said to be the two appointments which
the factions have agreed upon.
There is a general understanding
that the month of July will see the
question of Idaho's Federal patronage
decisively settled. Just why July should
be selectnd. is not generally known
even by Democrats themselves.
They are now said to be anxious to
settle the issue without further delay
and President Wilson is said to have
authentically given It out through the
proper channels that there will be
nothing done In this state, in a division
of the patronage unvil the factions
agree.
Gray and Moore are both allied with
the Hawley faction of the party and
are .stauncn backers or the ex-Gov
ernor.
'Washington has been the Mecca for
many Democratic leaders since Presl-
aent ilson s election. Ex-United
States Senator Fred T. Dubois has been
and still Is there. Ex-United States
Senator K. I. Perky has been there not
only in the honored capacity of United
States Senator, but since on the Fed
eral patronage issue. John F. Nugent,
leader of the Nugent wing of the party,
has been there and so has J. T. Pence,
who is affiliated, with the Nugent fac
tion. Federal patronage called them
to ashlngton.
Sjnce the return of these party lead
ers the patronage Issue has been sim
mering until it is now claimed it has
resulted In an agreement for a division
of at least a part of the spoils.
SPANIARDS' ENACT COMEDY
Clothes Dealer Buys Buck Coat and
Bogus $100 Bill.
MADRID, 'May "77. (Special.) An
amusing comedy has just been enacted
here in connection with a J100 bill and
one Senor Velez, an old-clothes dealer.
It began when Senor Velez sold a
second-hand frock coat to a man named
Rouvler. The next day the original
owner of the coat called and asked for
It On learning that It had been sold
the roan was very much perturbed. He
explained that be had overlooked a
$100 bill which was sewn up In the
lining. Senor Velez condoled with him,
and as soon as he had got rid of him
went straight to Rouvler.
He told Rouvler that he must have
the coat back. It had belonged to a
man who had died of an' Infectious dis
ease. It had not been properly disin
fected, and the police demanded that it
should be recovered-

Japan's Protest.
FUTURE COURSE IS SECRET
Department Gives Xo Hint of Action
Probable Should California Ei
ccntlve Fall to Heed Appeal
. From National Capitol.
WASHINGTON, May 12. The Admin
istration was awaiting tonight a reply
either by message or by action from
Governor Johnson to Secretary Bryan's
telegram of last night requesting that
he veto the alien landowning bill
passed by the California Legislature
and give the State Department an op
portunity to deal diplomatically with
the problem Involved.
In some quarters It had been expect
ed that the text of the Japanese protest
would be given publicity today, but ap
parently the officials concluded that full
publicity at this stage only would em
barrass the negotiations. Therefore
the State Department declined to make
any statement as to the precise nature
of the Japanese communication and the
Secretary, In answer to Inquiry on that
point, simply pointed to his own mes
sage of last night. In which he re
ferred to the Japanese communication
as "a very earnest protest."
Whether the protest went outside of
the treaty and claimed a violation of
the principles of International law in
discrimination against the Japanese, or
was an allegation that the spirit If not
the letter of the treaty had been in
fringed by the California legislation,
the ijecretary would not say. In fact,
he had not deemed It expedient to ac
quaint even Governor Johnson with the
details of the communication.
Secretary Bryan let It be known that
If legislation In California was post
poned, the State Department would un
dertake to deal diplomatically with the
Japanese government regarding the
hole question of alien land ownership
as affecting Japanese m America.
Meanwhile he declined to Indicate the
course that would be followed by the
department In the event that his appeal
is disregarded by the California executive.

DEMOCRATS EYEING JOBS
Civil Service to Be "Investigated"
to Create Vacancies.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Mayl2. Unwilling to attack the
civil service principle. Democratic Sen
ators have determined on an "investiga
tion" of the civil service, with the
avowed purpose of weeding out of the
lassifled service many Republicans
who long have held public office, and
once the Republicans are out, means
will be found, though strictly within
the civil service law, of filling their
places with Democrats. That is the
plain purpose of the Investigation start
ed at the behest or senator overman,
of North Carolina, and Senator Pome-
rene, of Ohio, and time will show that
the "Investigation" was cooked up for a
specific purpose and that it will serve
that purpose well. 1
There Is some ground for the Demo
cratic complaint, for the civil service
has been greatly abused by the Repub
lican Administration, Just as It is go
ing to be abused by the present Dem
ocratic administration. Many persons
on the Government payroll have been
brought under the civil sen-Ice by
means of political influence, and once
In the service, have been promoted
from time to time. This Is one of the
openings afforded the Democrats which
they will probe into at tne outset.
In another respect the Republicans
have abused the civil service, for Re
publican Presidents, from time to time,
have "covered into" the civil service
thousands of clerks and other employes
merely by executive order. Those who
were "covered in did not take a civil
service examination, but were protect
ed simply by an order of the President.
and it Is roughly estimated that about
one-third of the persons In the classi
fied service today are there by execu-

tlve order, rather than as a result of
civil service examination. This affords
the Democrats a second opening.
While the Democratic Senators are
conducting their probe Into the civil
service abuses they will naturally ex
hibit a grave regard for the civil serv
ice law: they will be shocked by the
exposures which they know In advance
they will be able to make, and they
will have profound condemnation for
the Republican disregard for law. When
they get through their Investigation,
many Republicans will find themselves
without Jobs. -
Then will come the interesting part
of the procedure. The Civil Service
Commission will get into play. Exam
inations will be held to fill existing va
cancies, and the country will find out
how much more proficient are Demo
crats, as a rule, than are members of
the opposition party.
To Insure this result, it Is quite prob
able that there will be changes In the
personnel of the Civil Service Commls
sion. One or more of the present com
missioners Is likely to be dropped, and
the vacancy or vacancies will be filled
by staunch Democrats, capable of find
ing greater merit In the papers of Dem
ocratic aspirants than In the papers of
their Republican rivals.
Tes, the civil service is to be Investi
gated and purged, but it Is dollars to
doughnuts that when the time for pwrg-
ing comes, the Democrats will reap the
greater portion of the benefits.

"Both my wife and myself have felt
for some time that we needed a good
tonic, and having read and heard so
much about Plant Juice thought we
would try It. We have both derived
great benefit from Its use. I suffered
a great deal with nervousness and was
in such a condition that I could not
sleep; my bowels were also Irregular
and I felt tired and run down. My
wife was in a general run-down con

We have taken less than three bottles
of Plant Juice and are both feeling so
much better that we would not be with
out it. I take great pleasure in recom
mending this wonderful tonic to all."
