SALEM. Or., Nov. ' 18. Special.)
Convicts at the Oregon penitentiary, in
a formal petition to the State Board o
Control tonight, pleaded for the ap
pointment of & prison superintendent
who would treat them "humanely and
fairly," and one who had not been a
Sheriff or police officer. The petition
was signed by more than 200 prisoners.
Members of the Board said today that
they had reached no decision as to who
would be named to succeed J. "W. Minto,
but expect to meet early next week and
settle the matter. Since the dismissal
of Mr. Minto the members of the Board
have been receiving numerous applica
tions for the position of superintendent,
as well as recommendations from their
friendd.
Among the names now being con
sidered for the place are Charles Burns,
ex-Chief of Police of Oregon City; Sam
uel Traeser. of Portland, formerly As
sistant Superintendent of the House of
Correction at Peoria, 111.; C. i. w e d d,
Chief Parole Officer for the Washing
ton State Reformatory at Monroe,
Wash.; F. W. Reynolds. ex-Secretary to
the Warden at the California State
prison at San Quentin; George II. Hurl
burt. Deputy Sheriff of Multnomah
County; Nathan Bird.'of Portland; J. J.
McCormick, of Eugene; Thomas Word,
ex-Sheriff of Multnomah County, and
William Esch, Sheriff of Marion County.
Difficult Job Faced.
That wh03Vjr is appointed superin
tendent of the penitentiary will face a
difficult task in governing the convicts
was the prediction of members of the
Board of Control today. The prisoners
are divided into two factions, the
smaller number asserting that con
ditions a:e fairly satisfactory, and the
majority complaining bitterly of their
treatment at the hands of Mr. Minto
and Warden Sherwood."
A communication from the prisoners
which accompanied their petition to
the Board alleged that the former
superintendent was governed entirely
by Mr. Sherwood in his treatment of
them; that brutality of the prison offi
cials has been frequent.
The men who signed the petition dis
claim any intention of causing trouble
to the prison management, placing the
blame upon a few unruly prisoners.
The prison monthly magazine, "Lend a
Hand," It is declared, failed to repre
sent the attitude .of the men toward
the government of the prison, and the
editor. Harry Lovell, is accused of
"playing to the front gate." His re
moval is demanded. . ...
Armed Guards Doubled.
The spirit of Insubordination to
prison authority is said to have in
creased since the resignation of Mr.
Minto, and today the armed guards in
the great steel cages inside the prison
were doubled to prevent any break
which might he attempted. For the
last few nights the prison has been in
an uproar for hours at a time, because
of the vocal demonstrations of the con
victs. That Acting Superintendent Sher
wood will not be retained by the new
superintendent 6eems apparent, in view
of the intense feeling toward him by
the prisoners, who have demanded that
he he dismissed. So great is the ha
tred of the men against the present
prison management that members of
the Board said the officers did not dare
to mingle with, the men for fear of
being attacked.
"Every time I enter the prison to talk
with the convicts," said Governor
Withycombe, "I know it is dangerous.
The men are in such a temper "that it
would require but little to precipitate
a riot.
Grievances Are Heard.
Secretary of State Olcott and Treas
urer Kay yesterday interviewed 300 of
the prisoners in the prison auditorium.
At this meeting the men presented
their grievances, demanding Mr. Sher
wood's removai.
They were assured that this would
be left to the discretion of the new su
perintendent when he had been named.
A committee composed of Editor Lovell.
of "Lend a Hand," and two other pris
oners, was repudiated by the majority
' of convicts, who declared they were
prison were forced to keep the two
factions apart today to prevent a gen
eral clash.
It developed today that an elaborate
plot to poison all the guards on the
night shift so that a wholesale break
might be made was frustrated a few
days ago only through the confession
of a prisoner. In some manner a quan
tity of "rough on rats" was smuggled
into the prison, and one of the cooks
is said to have placed the poison in
the lunches prepared for the guards on
the night fchift. When the plan had
been told the food was examined and
found to be poisoned. The responsibil
ity was not fixed.
ALBANY. Or, Nov. 18. (Special.)
"I've been a Democrat 100 years,
but I think I'l change my politics."
This remark was made half in Jest
but not on the age question. For the
speaker actually has lived 100 years.
He was Nathaniel Burson, who resides
3 "4 miles north of Brownsville. He was
100 years old June 15 last. Mr. Burson
addressed this remark to D. K. New
land, a neighbor, who volunteered to
take the centenarian to the polls in
his buggy election day.
"I'm afraid you'll kill my vote,
though," Mr. Newland said. He is a
Republican and knew Burson was a
Democrat. The latter then explained
that, while he did not intend to go
to the trouble of going to the polling
place, he had made up his mind to sup
port Mr. Hughes if he voted. He for-

the aged man said to Mr. Newland. So
the 100-year-old citizen bet on Hughes.
Mr. Burson is in fair health. He
walks about a good deal. With a read
ing glass he reads newspapers and
magazines and is well informed on cur
rent topics. He can discuss affairs as
readily and intelligently as a. middle-
aged man. He has followed keenly the
news about the "Deutschland, the Ger
man merchant submarine.
A native of Virginia, Mr. Burson has
resided in many different states. He
wa3 a California pioneer of 49. For
the past 15 years he has been a resi
dent of Oregon and now lives with his
son. r. L. Burson.
He is just twice as old as the son
with whom he now lives. He was mar
ried young and has one son. residing
in Arkansas, who is 80 years of age.
Three years ago he made a trip to visit
relatives in the East and Middle West
and called on this son. They started to
take a ride together and the older man
had to help his son in the buggy, the
"boy" being more feeble than his
father.
Two years ago Mr. Burson was at
tacked with pneumonia and it was
feared that he would not live to reach
the century mark. Two physicians of
Brownsville attended hira and admit
ted his condition was grave. They left
orders with some neighbors who sat up
with him to take good care of him and,
above all, not to let him talk. The old
man refused to obey instructions, but
sat up in bed and talked all night, and
the next morning the threatened pneu
monia was broken up. The doctors said
that this experience would have killed
most men.
Mr. Burson chews tobacco. He for
merly used tobacco a great deal, but
quit using it for a while when he was
99. He began again, however, though
he now uses it moderately. He used
liquor some also up until he was about
45 years of age, but has not used It at
all for many years. He is now bitterly
opposed to the use of liquor in any
form.
In his later years Mr. Burson has
writen considerable poetry. He wrote
one litle poem Just before he reached
the age of 100. It was entitled "The
Man From Norway" and was a tribute
to a neighbor.
having a private conversation with
Butts and then refusing to have any
thing to do with her husband. Later
a reconciliation was effected.
She testified how on the morning of
the shooting Butts had sent away her
nephew, Henry Hardman. and started
to put his arms around hr. "Then he
asked me if I was going to get a
divorce and marry him." she continued,
"and I said, 'no, I love John Allen.'
Then he said if I didnt get a divorce,
he'd kill me and John Allen, too.
"He picked up his gun from the
corner of the room and started out.
I was nervous and frightened, for
thought he might carry out his threat.
Just then Henry came back from his
errand and Mr. Butts put down his gun
by the door and went out. He did not
return until I called him to dinner."
Her story of the shooting was that
she was standing by the stove, when
her husband appeared in the doorway.
Hello, Butts, are you having a nice
time?" was his greeting to the other
man, but a fierce "Damn you, I'll kill
you," was the answer she heard, as
Butts raised suddenly from his chair
and seized his gun standing by the
door.
Almost as quickly, Mrs. Allen said
she rushed for the weapon, crying
Don't. Lewis," and placed her left
hand against his chest to halt him.
Allen called to him to stop and as
Butts continued to advance, stepped
back, threw up his own weapon to his
hip and fired. The same shot which
killed Butts, wounded a finger of her
left hand, the witness testified.

Present Bad Conditions Declared Dae

Policy Toward Negroea.
COPENHAGEN. Nov. 6. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) The
former Governor-General of the Danish
West Indies, Helweg J-arsen, was ex
amined today by a Parliamentary com
mil tee and opposed the sale of the is
lands. The, present bad conditions, ac
cording tc the retiring Governor, are
mainly due to the labor question, and
the policy of the Danes in treating
the negroes in the same way as white
people.
If the islands are sold to the United
States, they would have the American
tariff, according to the ex-Governor,
and that would virtually kill the trade
of the free port of St. Thomas. He
advocated the retention of Danish sov
ereignty on the ground that the islands
are very important for Danish com
merce and shipping.
Chaplain Ejnar Olsen, of St. Croix,
speaking before the committee, main
tained that the negroes would be much
happier under American rule. He de
scribed the intellectual advance of the
American negroes as important and
thought those of the Danish West In
dies would share the same conditions
under American administration.
