Other members, Mr. I.nfferty particularly. rushed to the warden's defense. Expect Illg Dcelopments "There will be big developments In the investigation this week." said Mr. Dunlap todaj. "The testlmoiij of every inmate will be obtained. There Is no reason why the word of the pris oners should not be good. It is my be lief that 3200 of the inmates will offer testimony in support of my charges." So far Mr Dunlnp has not gien de- i talis of the irregularities lie a.s exists In the prison. "I have a mass of evidence to pre-1 Bent," he said, "and I feel that when, the investigation is completed the whole place will be cleaned up, from Warden JIcKenty down. "I have names and instances pf in justice that are absolutely Irrefutable, I and I defy anybody to contradict them, I have protested ngainkt the manage ment of the institution to my col leagues on the bonrd, but they seem to think anything is good euough for a . bunch of convicts." I ! "Absurd," Sas LalTerty j The assertions of Sir. Dunlap nre, branded as "absurd" by Mr. I.afferty. ' "His utterances are a tissue of false- j jbAods," Mr. I.afferty declared. "He Joes not know sufficient of the Eastern Penitentiary to discuss its conditions It's-, 'intelligently, and God help the prisoners K'S-' ,... . .

"I visit the institution three nr ftmr times a week. I have never closed my! eyes to anything to be seen and I say most emphatically that I have never found anything to be construed as a serious, let alone a harmful error. McKenty Read- for Probe "We would like to know on what Mr. Dunlap founds his charges of irregularities and surely will place no obstacle in -the. way of establishing the proof of his charges." Other than to say he is ready for an Investigation, Warden McKenty declines to comment on the situation.

The price Is lower thau the regular retail market quotations for such cans. This Is the second municipal sale of surplus government foodstuffs to be held at the Glmbel store under the di rectorship of the city market com mission. E. L. Smyser, head of the Glmbel pure-food store, says that although the pork and bean sale Is marked by no such rush as featured the sale of gen eral foodstuffs laBt Thursday, the sup ply on hand will be exhausted before 0 o'clock, the closing hour today. The line of purchasers is n stcad.v one. and rapid progress in disposing of the goods is being made by the Glmbel em ployes, loaned to the commission by the store management, nnd Emergency Aid voluutecrs assisting them. "Cash and Carry" Plan The "cosh and carry" cafeteria plan prevails nt the sale again today. Patrons choose the articles they wish to purchase nnd ns' they pass out pay the cashiers, who are stationed nt all the exits. The allotment to each person is cither six or twelve cans, as desired. The cases of pork nnd beans nre now ranged in great tiers in the Gimbel food store, but it Is expected thnt the entire supply will be sold today. Direc tor MacLaughlin points to the fact that the contents of the cans arc extremely palatable and nourishing, as well as cheap. Dried Fruits Coming A carload of surplus army dried fruits has arrived in this city, nnd will be placed on sale as soon ns the fruits enn be hauled to the Ulmbel store. Thursday probably will be an nounced as the day for this sale. The fruits are packed in twcnty-flve- pound boxes. It Is thought these boxes will not be opened to sell tne contents by the pound. Persons wishing to pur chase must buy an entire box. unc rate will be between ten and fifteen cents a pound, nbout one-half the open, market price. Director MacLaughlin points to tne fact that if nn entire box is too much for auv person, such person probably can arrange with friends nnd relatives to divide up the contents of the twenty-five-pound container.

Figures show that travel was actually less than in 1017. No comparison can be made with 1018j as excursions were eliminated that year, due to the heavy troop niovc- tment. On Lnbor Day southbound travel cousistctj of forty-one regular trains nnd seven extras, carrying 5300 pas sengers. Northbound there were forty two regular trains and twenty-seven extras, carrying 27,800 persons. In 1017 the railroad ran forty-three regu lar s6uthbound trains and thirteen ex tras, carrying 12,080 pnssengerH, nnd forty-one regular northbound trains nnd twenty-seven extras, carrying 31,050 passengers. Seashore travel both yvays on Lnbor Day this year aggregated 33,100 per sons, against 44,330 in 1017.

The Missouri and Wisconsin followed within a period of two years. None of the ships saw any extended war service, but nil of them took part in the famous trip around the Horn In stltuted by President Roosevelt. In the late war none of tho seven ships served other than as transports and training ships. Two sea tragedies arc connected with the histories of these vessels. In 1005 the explosion of a big gun on the .Kear sarge killed a gun crew. Among thosii who lost their lives were Lieutenants Hodges and Graeme, In charge of the gun turret In which the accident oc curred. In the previous year n flareback of ft big gun on the Missouri during target practice Incinerated the entire gun crew, including Lieutenants Davidson and Grldley, the latter the son of Admiral Gridlcy, hero of the Spanish-American war. The Maine has 12,000 tons' displace1 ment ns compared to 12,000 tons for the old Maine, blown up in Cuba. In her gun equipment Bbe was not far (M fcrcnt from her namesake.
