LOVE LETTERS TO
CONVICTS SENT BY
JOL1ET, 111., June 7. niotlng In1
the Illinois state penitentiary, attrib
uted by some- officials to nn "over
dose of the honor system," will result
In a radical revision or perhaps the
abolition of honor privileges within
tho prison.
A. L. Bowen, acting warden, said
today that among Hie things which
will bo forbidden aro indiscriminate;
correspondence with women and visits
from women not relatives or the pris
oners, i
Demoralized Discipline.
To prove that correspondence with
(fivomen on tho outside had done much
to demoralize prison discipline, Wat
den I3oweu mndo public excerpts from
letters received at the prison and con
fiscated by tho authorities. They were
from, women who had been put in
communication with prisoners thru a
'league organized for uplift work. The
women varied in ages from seventy to
fifteen.
"I fell asleep and dreamed of my
hero you," wrote ono woman. "The
dream was really a continuation of
my thoughts; love's sweet dream."
"Tell mo my lotlcrs make you hap
py, or I shall squeeze you till you
squeal Oh, you baby" was the mes
sage to another convict.
Apparently some of the women bad
more than one correspondent, but
whether In different prisons was not
made clear, i
Had Several on Siring.
"I have a counterfeiter on my list,
a kid about twenty, but somo smart
kid and sweet boy," said one letter.
"But don't got Jealous, he's 1n for two
joara longer than you aro and you
xn't ever moot."
(Warden Bowen said the letters
came from all parts of the United
States and from all degrees of social
rank. Ono woman's stationery was
elaborately crested.
It was the order curtailing the
correspondence and visiting privileges,
which precipitated tho recent prison
revolt, in which one man was killed.

MARCH IN PARADE
o PAST PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON', June 7. Ten
thousand Confederate veterans, rem
nants of the host, thai stormed Hie
sates of tho capital more than fit)
years ago, marched up Pennsylvania
avenue today in review before Presi
dent Wilson.
The batlle scarred stars and bars
mingled with the slars and stripes in
symbol of a reunited country; a guitrd
of honor of Grand Anny veterans es
corted Ihe Confederates, and march
ing as a rear gunrd were 2r10 men
of Ihe officers' reserve training camp
at Fori MVcr.
President Wilson was on the re
viewing stand for morn than two
hours and in spile of a heavy shower
that came up toward the end, he
staved until the last man had passed
I'.V.
"We'll go lo France or anywhere
you want to send us,'' cried one iiarty
of Veterans. Another coinpanv shout
ed: "Call on us if the hoys can't .In it."
A sign thai atliaclcd the nllcutiiiin
of the presideitl read in Ictlcrs two
feet high:
"Damn an American who ain't for
his eounlry, right or wrong1."' '
PA I! IS, June (i. 'The socialist
conference at Stockholm, without the
participation of American, Italian
and French delegates, will lose a
great part of its prestige," says Jules
Cambon, general secretary to the min
ister of foreign affairs today. It wil
not have the practical cliai-nete,- it:
organizers expect. Wo appreciate
Hint Ihe United Stales has shown by
its refusal to provide socialist dele
gales wilh passports Hint the great
est democracy in the world will not
consent lo tolerate that any pnrly
should substitute itself for the regu
lar government of the country.''
"The news of the enthusiasm with
which Ihe Americans celebrated Jinn
ii and the refums fro nithe registra
tion," said M". Cnmlion, "has been re
ceived wit Ii the greatest satisfaction
by Frenchmen."

WASHINGTON1, June 7. Six-rotary
Lansing today most emphati
cally denied published reports in the

was supporting tho revolutionary
movement there and had even fur
nished fluids for it.
lie said ho had not idea upon what
the charges were based, but that he
deplored them for creating a false
impression of this country's good will
towards China.
It isthouglit possible, however, that
Hie Chinese press may have become
confused over the attitude of Minis
ter Ileinsch in Peking. Reports have
come from there that ho was very
instrumental in inducing tho Chinese
government to follow (his eounlry in
severing relations with Germany and
that resentment liad been created
against dim in certain pro-German
