' fSpertM TMnpatch to Ths JoorntL) -
, Walla Walla, Wash., Dec. 27. Lock
Hep at the state penitentiary, baa been
abolished. It was a Chrlstmaa present
to the 'prisoners, and when Warden C.
8. Reed told thera of their Rift, such a
mighty cheer went op ashad never be
fore been heard Inside those grim ray
Walls. ,'N. ; ;::::-,'.. , t 7 ; ' 'V ,
'S Relic of barbarism, time usage sln.es
days Immemorial, the lockatep hat ever
been a symbol -of prison life. Tlie
.Washington' state penitentiary is pio
neer In the movement abolishing It, and
already lta good effect has been noted.
Prisoners appreciated It, Judging from
their reception of the news, and their
actions in the 48 hours since that time.
The doing away with the locks tep
follows the abolition of - the prison
stripe, and la a part of the general plan
of Warden Heed in his efforts to make
a model prison of the state penitentiary.
The lockatep has' been ; a necessity
through the regular and general prison
orders requiring convicts to walk single
tile, with a hand on the shoulder of the
man In front This compelled the men
to walk in the tracks of those Just in
front, and made the well known lock
stpp, pictured In the crude drawings of
prisoners thousands Of years aro.
Hereafter the men will walXOn pairs
to and from their work Inside the walla,
and will not be required t keep so
closely together as in former years.
One resn It for good that has been ac
complished is that convicts released
from the penitentiary will not be
marked by their gait,1 as formerly.
When a man ha been discharged from
the prison in former years,' It took blra
months, sometimes years, to break him
self of the habit of this peculiar walk,
and many times men have been shunned
on this account, when otherwise the
Wot on their past, would never hve
been known. r ,
LEBANON FOLK FEAR
TOO MANY 'RAILROADS
. Special Dltpatch to Tb Journal.) 'j
Lebanon, Or, Dec, 27. A petition was
filed with the city recorder of the city
of Lebanon a few days Age oil the fran
chise recently granted to the Albany ft
Interurban Railway company,'- asking
that It, be submitted to a vote of the
people at the next general election,
which will be held la December, . 1111.
This will tie up the franchise of the
proposed new road for a -year. One of
the main objections to the franchise on
Second street 1ft that It brings the two
railroads too close together, the South
ern Paciflo being on Third street ,; ;
One of the promoters stated some
time ago that if the citizens held np the
franchise with the-referendum bis com
pany would give Lebanon no further
opportunity to secure ths road. - - (

According to the story told by John
son, Le Fait ' called at Jack's residence
last night and asked for the champion.
He was told that the head of the house
was not at home. - The answer, accord
ing to Johnson, did not satisfy Le Fait
whov Johnson alleged, drew a revolver
and, with this as a passoprt, started
on a voyage of discovery through the
house. Followed at long range by mem
bers of the household, who repeated
their assertions that Jack was "not in."
Le Fait is said to have gone from one
end of the bouse to the other, looking
Into every room, poking about In clos
ets and searching every place where the
champion might be concealed.
It was not until he had finally In
spected the kitchen that Le Fait was
satisfied that Johnson was not la the
house and departed.
Le Fait did not say, according to
Johnson, why he . had called, Jack was
evidently greatly disturbed over the In
