FORGERY TERM SHORTENED Class in Drawing Started in Fol torn unci E. B. Jolmson Says at Least One Pupil Can , ' Qualify fc Good Job. SAX FRANCISCO. March 2. (Spe cial.) Having literally cartooned him self out of prison and a four-year sen tence fo'r forgery, after less than a year's stay in Folsom, E. B. Johnson has the record of being the first man who ever came from behind prison bars by this method. Johnson was sentenced to a four-year term in prison less than a year ago for uttering a forged check which a Stockton saloon keeper had filled in for him while Johnson was on the end of a prolonged spree. When ho was arrested in Stockton he had no clear idea of the charge against him and the only thing he re members of the whole trial, he says, was the sentence of four years, pro nounced by the Judge after he had pleaded guilty. That was on May 26, 1913, tand two months later he began his campaign for release which culmi nated Saturday on the order of the Governor his sentence being com muted. He drew several cartoons, de picting his desire to be free and por traying the lot of a prisoner which at tacked the administration of the Gov ernor, to whom they were sent. Prison Class In Art Formed. Johnson's arrest and conviction fol lowed a tour of the coast from Port land to the Mexican line, which time he himself says was a prolonged period of darkness. He arrived here today and left today for Portland, where he will take up life as an advertising artist where he left It a year ago. One of the features of his imprison ment at Folsom was the formation of a class in drawing and illustrating, which has some promising pupils. "One of my pupils there will be out in a year and he will be capable of taking a good job," said Johnson in talking of his class. "I am still ad vising and laying out work for the men in this class, and in a competition I am conducting for them I shall give to the winner as a prize a year's course in drawing in one of the correspondence schools. Convicts Being Educated. "Warden Smith is doing a great deal for the men in Folsom along educa tional lines, and classes are held which take up almost everything, from a, b, c's, taught to some Mexican peons, to higher mathematics and other advanced work, given to men who are capable of assimilating such knowledge. Profes sor M. J. Jacobs, of Berkeley High School, is head of the mathematics work and has ten convict teachers. "I am going back where I left off a year ago, but I don't expect to get into any more trouble through John Barley corn. The taste I have had has been quite enough for me."

ISSUE ABSORBS CONGRESS (Continued From First Page.) sue. At present, unless some members of the committee announce a change of view, it appears that opponents of the repeal might have a majority of one In the committee. Should the major ity decide to report it adversely, there will be a minority report, on which the Senate would be forced to take a vote. This., of course .would determine the issue as decisively as action first on a favorable majority report. Other Bill Also Fending. There are other bills pertaining to the issue before the canals committee and no one will predict how long the committee will hold the subject under consideration. Senator Chilton has a bill which, instead of directly repeal ing the tolls exemption clause, would put it up to the President to deter mine what ships should pay tolls. Then there is Senator Lewis' bill empower ing the President to suspend tolls, and another, introduced by Senator Reed, would repeal the tolls exemption and then grant to foreign ships the right to compete with American coastwise ships, a bill designed, as the Senator put it. "to break any American coast wise shipping monopoly that may ex ist." Other legislation before Congress is just now in practical eclipse, save ap propriation and calendar bills of lesser importance. The Senate interstate commerce subcommittee continues at work on anti-trust bills. In the House the interstate commerce committee, which had already voted for the Cov ington interstate trade commission bill, and has still to act on the propo sition for Federal control of railway capitalization, is engaged on the re peal bill, to the exclusion of all otner business.
