MURDER CHARGE
AGAINST VIRGOIN
THE TABOR CASE
Former Undertaker, Who
Claims He Married
Woman, Held
Lawton, Mich , Dec. 12.—A charge
of murder is to-day entered against
Joseph C. Virgo, a former South
Beud, Ind., undertaker, by Van
Buren county authorities who are in
vestigating the death of Maud Tabor.
According to Glenn E. Warner, as
sistant prosecutor, the action was
taken as a result of a secret grilling
of Virgo and expert testimony before
the inquest tending to show that
crime had been committed.
Virgo, who claims to have been
married to the woman in 1915, re
fused to talk of the case after learn
ing he was to be charged with mur
der, and accused the authorities of
resorting to a ruse by leading him
to believe he was held only as a
material witness. He had been the
principal witness at the inquest.
The inquest will not be resumed.
It was announced, until Prosecutor
H. H. Adams returns from California
with Mrs. Sarah I. Tabor and Walter
O. Tabor, mother and brother of
Maude Tabor.
The authorities expect the mother's
testimony to aid their investigation
Inasmuch as she is said to have
stated she was with her daughter
when she died, the result, according
to expert testimony, of inducing
parturition.

FRIDAY EVENING,
LOCAL SCHOOL
GETS NEW PLANES
Two Big Canadian Curtiss
Planes Arrived Here
This Morning
The Automobile and Aeroplane
Mechanical School, which has the
large aeroplane landing field at
Fourteenth and Sycamore streets,
have received two large Canadian
Curtiss aeroplanes which will be
used in the instruction of students
at the school and in carrying, pas
sengers over the city and between
the smaller towns of Central Penn
sylvania.
One of these planes is equipped
with skids instead of the usual wheel
construction undergear and will be
used when there is snow on the
ground. This is a new innovation in
these parts but is quite common in
Canada. This plane is a three-pas
senger one and is equipped with
lights for night flying.
This makes five planes that are
now being used by this progressive
school. They have (now enrolled
more than a hundred students who
are taking the aeroplane course. W.
F. Deihl, who has won considerable
comment by his expert flying in this
neighborhood is the instructor and
also carries passengers over the city,

The new planes that came in this
morning are now being unloaded at
the siding at Ninth and Market
streets. They were shipped here
from Toronto, Canada.

Thomas Mott Osborne wants to in-
I vestigate conditions in Moyamens
! ing prison in this city. The inspec
| tors, who are appointed by the Board
■ of Judges of the county courts, said
I there is nothing wrong with the
: county prison and that if there were,
! the grand jury .which makes an in
spection of all penal and public
charitable institutions in this city
every month, would be quick to
make a report to the courts.
The solitary system in vogue at
Moyamensing is a matter for the

tain cases under an old act of the

Ex-Convicts, Now Living
"Straight," Promise Aid
By Associated Press
New York, Dec. 12. —Thomas Mott
Osborne, prison reformer; recently
engaged in' interviewing former
prisoners, guards and assistant war
dens in Poliet prison, with a view to
ending alleged abuses there, has
started a nation-wide campaign to
put each of the fifty-nine prisons
and five Federal penitentiaries upon
"a humane basis."
The fortune of a wealthy ex-con
vict, "known from one end of the
country to the other," a man of in
fluence in Washington, but who for
the present is mentioned only as the
Gray Brother, is said to have been
placed at the disposal of Mr. Os
borne to finance his venture.
Sixteen hundred former prison in
mates now in New York city, all of
whom are with reputable firms and
living "straight," are devoting their
attention to the crusade. Poliet is
described by them as "the worst ln
situation in the country."
Ex-convicts Organized
Osborne, it was said, as in con
tact with 10,000 former convicts
throughout the United States who
have belonged to prison Mutual Wel
fare Leagues, the organization he
started when he was warden at Sing
Sing in opposition to the old-time
"honor system." These men, now
organized in what is known as the
Gray Brotherhood, who have re
deemed themselves and many of
whom are now holding responsible
positions in the business world, are
co-operating with him.
The prisons Which, it is said will
be investigated after the "cleanup"
of Joliet will be Moyamensing, where
the solitary system is still in vogue;
Trenton, N. J., state prison; Clinton,
known as the "Siberia" of New York,
and Weathersfield, Conn.

shortly after the outbreak of the
war and was later sent overseas
where It saw much active service.
Army flyers have long been doing
Mexican border patrol work but it
Is the first time, the Colonel said,
that they have been employed In
similar active service elsewhere.
Extension of the service to in
clude mapping of aerial routes on
the Atlantic seaboard and later the
widdle Atlantic states, is said to he
in contemplation. At present while
one-third of the First Aero Squad
ron personnel is out on patrol work
the other two-thirds are resting.
All flights are nonstop between the
home field and the destination, thus
putting the pilots under a system
as rigorous in point of training as
they experienced during the war.
Aviation experts have attributed
the efficiency of American pilots in
France to the fact that they were
compelled to fly at regular inter
vals and, consequently, did not have
time to forget their training.
