The penitentiary commission, com- posed of W. F. Nickle, K.C., Col. O. M. Biggar and, P. M. Draper, will open its sitting in Kingston at the court house, at 10.30 a.m. on Thurs- day next. Sheriff Dawson has receiv- ed a communication from Ottawa asking that rooms be assigned to the commissioners and he has reserved, them. Apart from any matters effecting individual olticials, the hearing will be one of very great public interest because the members of the commis- | sion ure seeking information upon the whole subject of prison manage- ment as at present time. They will have under review matters of disci. pline, employment, sentences, crimes, | occupations Of prisoners, Much has been written about the employment of prisoners, many people favoring further indulgences and permission to them to devote some time to mak- ing trinkets, It must be remembered, however, that the prisoners' time be- longs to the government and their employment for personal gain can only be upon government work. If a ! rate of wage be favorably considered, it will - stimulate more interest in their work and solve, to a very large extent, the whole question of prison discipline. The commission will en- deavor to discover the causes of sec- ond and third convictions, and it is likely that the dominion parole offi- cer will be able to give important in- formation on this question, The selection of officials as war- dens, guards and clerks will be dealt with, and recommendations based upon investigation will be made to, the civil service commission. : DYING IN SIBERIA IN LARGE NUMBERS Austrians Who Escaped From Prison Camp Tell of Heavy Death Rate. Copenhagen, Nov. 9.--Lieutenant Fischer, of the Austrian army, and eight comrades who! escaped from a Siberian' prisoners' camp, arrived , here yesterday and declared that the prisoners in Siberia were dying by wholesale from starvation, tubercul- €oast osis, typhoid and other diseases. As an example of the death rate, the Austrians cited one camp of 5, 000 prisoners of whom they said 2, 000 died in six months, Forty thou- | sand died at the end of 1918, the Austrians declared, and the number who had perished since then was unknown. Conditions are getting worse daily, they sald, and certain camps were called 'dead man's camp," because there were so many deaths. Owing to the frozen ground it was impossible to bury the dead during the winter, according to the Austrians, and the naked bodies of the dead prisoners were stacked like logs outside the huts they had occu- P pied, remaining there, until spring. During the past summer large graves were dug in advance for those doom- ed to death by starvation or illness during the winter. The Russians formerly gave the prisoners well nigh uneatable bread. The prisoners are now getting house® the Austrians deglared, but must get food for ' themgelves in districts where almost no food is to be found. A Grain Elevator For Oswego, N.Y.'

V. O'Connor," writing | from New York as president of the societies. The Irish office is ignoring the letter, declaring that--if it isn't in fact a fake--it will do more harm to the radical cause than would a for- mal British protest to the American government. The letter demands that British forces cease their reprisals, and de- clared that unless this action is taken before November '14th, the proposed counter reprisals will take place in America. i Attacks and counter attacks by Sinn Feiners and the British forces continue throughout the south of Ireland and with no abatement in intensity. The heavy hand of mili- tary rule has tightened its grip on Dublin and it is reported that troops will occupy all but four police bar- racks in the county of Cork.

An investi- gation in Mayfair and Belgravia shows that under the present "res- sure of prices and taxation the lead- ing families of the country are dis- ensing altogether with men ser- vants, or at best are rétaining only venerable butlers who have done life- long service in one family. No new footmen are being trained to the butler's duties by England's hard-hit rich, and nowadays the once familiar spectacle of a footman sit- ting beside the chauffeur or coach- man on automobile or carriage is never seen in the neighborhood of Hyde Park. While the old families have been compelled to dispense with men servants, because of loss of revenue, the war-rich show no signs of displaying their splendor ip rows of liveried flunkeys. One of the leading tailors of the West End says: "For every score'of liveries before the war, we are not making five now. In five years there won't be a first-footman or a groom- of-the-chambers left in London." Senator L. W. Shatford, who suf- fered a paralytic stroke Sunday, died on Monday in Vancouver, B.C.

London, Nov. 9. -- England's dream of an "all red" cable route uniting London with Maelborune, Australia, is about to become reality. i It is expected that the sharehpld- ers of the Direct United States Cable Company will ratify the directors' acceptance of the British govern- ment's offer to purchase the com- pany's lines . In this event efforts will be made to secure the incor- poration of a new Atlantic service with that of the Pacific Cable Com- pany.' At the same time steps will be taken to extend the present in- complete 'state-owned transcontinen- tal telegraphs of Canada from coast to coast. This would not only provide an imperial service between the United Kingdom and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but under imperial control would safeguard British messages on all British lines by way of the Atlantic, Canada and the Pacific.

Athens, Nov. 9.--The guestion of the .egal rights of Madame Manos, morganatic wife of the late King Alexander, seems likely to create some difficulty, according to leading jurists of this city. Her attorney on Thursday last asked the court to remove the seals from the apartments of the dead King, asserting Madame Manos, through her marriage and also he- cause of her approaching mother- hood, would legally inherit Alexan- der's property. 2 An attorney acting for former King Constantine then asked the court to suspend action until he had time to: institute action in opposi- tion. © He declared Constantine in- tended to contend the marriage of Madame Manos and 'the late mon- arch / was 'invalid anfi_ that Alexan- der's property should" pass to his father /and brothers. | Should Constantine take legal ac- | tion in 'the premises, the jurists point out, it would constitute an ad- mission that he is no longer King of Greece, as the chief of state, be- ing the dispenser of justice, cannot appeal to the courts. 'Bhere is some speculation here as to the status in by Madame-:Manos if her marriage should be declared valid. CONFESS TO MURDER OF BANK MESSENGER Two Men Say They Got $40,- 000 and Buried Money In Cemetery. Mount Helly, N.J., Nov. 9.--Frank J. James and Raymond W.

Paul; the Camden bank runner, rob- bed him of $40,000 in cash and buried the body in the Jersey Pines, near Tabernacle. The money was burfed in Evergreen cemetery in Camden and most of it has been re- covered, the offictals stated tonight. The alleged confessions were given in signed statements at the Burling- ton county jail here where both men are prisoners. Although neither man was aware the other had confessed, the officials stated, thelr stories were almost identical on important points. Detalls of the confession were not made public, but Ellas Parker, Bur- lington county detective, said the two men had 'carefully planned" but "clumsily carried out the job." Rob- bery was the motive, he asserted The killing, Parker declared, was one of the most brutal in the history of the Camden county. B.C.
