Urges War Labor
For All Convicts
Pittsburgh.—Prison labor as a
factor in winning the war is being
urged by Warden John Francis of
the Western Penitentiary, who is a
recognized authority on the manage
ment of penal institutions and re
claiming recreant manhood. Mr.
Francis has taken up the subject
with the Chamber of Commerce of
Pittsburgh, which body has called
upon Congress to enact legislation
which will permit 50,000 inmates of
prisons in the country to engage in
war work.
According to the views of Mr.
Francis the criminal is a patriot ac
cording to his lights. He will be
glad to help to win the war if al
lowed to do so. State laws passed
to (it peace conditions prevent this.
He holds that it should be possible
to suspend these lavs for war pur
poses during the continuance of the
war by act of Congress. That it
has not been done Mr. Francis thinks
is due to an oversight rather than
to the determination of anybody to
refuse to make use of the resources
of the prisoners' labor.
Mr. Francis expressed a firm be
lief in the patriotism of labor and
does not think it will oppose the use
of prison labor in making supplies
under present conditions.
"I am in possession of data which
shows that 5 per cent, of the prison
labor of the country, engaged on the
manufacture of socks, will turn out
4,000.000 dozens of pairs in, a year's
time." Mr. Francis recites. "We
should have had twice that many
socks ready to send to our soldiers
in France to keep them from freez
ing during the coming winter. We
could have had them if this propor
tion of our prisoners had been al
lowed to work on them.
"What is true of socks is true of
other supplies. There are buildings
and machinery available to turn out
immense quantities of supplies and
they are not being used. Thsre
are 50,000 persons rotting in idle
ness in prison cells in this country
'because Ihey have no employment.
They are degenerating morally,
mentally and physically, while their
country and the people of Europe
need the work they would be glad
to give. Something shoilld be done
to change this condition of things."
Gives Life for Private
Lieut.-Col. Pike Fights On
With tlie American Army in
Franco. —Wounded in the arm in
the battle for Vandieres, Lieut.-Col.
Emory J. Pike of Des Moines, div
isional machine gun officer, insisted
upon remaining in command on the
field, and did so until mortally
wounded by a shell several hours
later. This-was on September 15.
The officer died the next day and
was buried in a French cemetery
near by.
Officers say that Lieut.-Col. Pike
consolidated the machine gun posi
tions when the situation became ser
ious for the Americans, making poss
ible the capture of Vandieres with
out serious losses to his own forces.
Lieut.-Col. Pike, who was a West
Pointer, received his mortal wound
on Hill 427 when assisting a wound
ed private to a place of safety. Af
ter his first wound he not only con
tinued to command, but wrote
messages for regimental headquar
ters relating the progress of the
battle.

"How much wages you get?" ask

" 'Aw, only a dollar a day,' was

Chair Was of Solid Gold, Pro

I.oiiilon. —The throne of Russia
was, anil is—for, although It stands
empty, it .has not been injured or
dismantled—a wide chair, placed
upon a dais approached by several
steps, and at the end of an enormous
hall of costly marbles. Four pillars
with huge carved hears' paws for
feet, support an ornate canopy above
it. The chair itself is of gold, ivory
and precious woods, ablaze with in
set jewels. It is upholstered with
ermine.
Of almost equal splendor is the
throne "of the Kaiser in Berlin. It
is massively built of costly woods
much carved, and is said to have cost
40,000 pounds. The arms are in
part of solid gold set with emeralds.
Its very high back is adorned with
the imperial coat-of-arms, in gold,
and the Kaiser, when he occupies it.
sits beneath a canopy of cloth of
gold, with one foot resting upon a
cushioned stool covered with the
same material.
Great Britain preserves a taste for
splendor on state occasions, but the
throne of King George, in fhe Hous<
of Eords, is built fundamentally of
material chosen for sentiment rather
than for magnificence. It is of Brit
ish oak adorned with ivory, goh.
and silver, and is draped with price
less tapestry. On the back of this
chair of state are the emblematic
lion and unicorn, carved and gilded.
The arms of the throne terminate in
a pair of lions' heads of gold with
ope., jaws.
Presumably, however, there will
never be a throne to compare with
that of the Mogul emperors of
Hindustan. The famous "peacock
throne" at Delhi cost at least 4,000,-

sum. Behind it stood two life-sized
peacocks, enameled with rubies,
sapphires, emeralds and other prec
ious stones of colors appropriate to
represent the birds in life.
The chair was of solid gold pro
fusely studded with gems and sur
mounted by a canopy upheld by
twelve golden pillars. On either side
was an umbrella (an Oriental sym
bol of sovereignty) of crimson vel

pearls. It was carried off to Te

Persian conqueror, after the sack of
