Also they are ? materially aiding Jn the war effort . by helping create much needed farm markets, enabling farmers to continue to grow the food necessary to < win the war anil write tho pence."

Known Hi?tory of Moscow Dates Back 800 Years Moscow 1 That is the city to which Russians have looked most of the time through the centuries. It is the largest of all Russian cities, with a population above 4,000,000. The known history of Moscow goes back about 800 years. There probably was a village of some sort at the same spot on the Moskva river even longer ago than that, but we do not have clear records of it. For a time Moscow w^s the center of an area ruled by a prince. This prince was under the power of the Mongolg. The emperor, or khan, of the Mongols was his "overlord." As the years passed, the princes of Moscow gained more power. A much larger area of land was placed under them, but the khan was still their overlord. At last the Muscovites (or Russians) rose in revolt against the khan. The struggle was long and hard, but in the end they won their freedom. Their ruler was called a "grand prince" until Ivan IV had himself crowned "czar." He is known in history as "Ivan the Terrible." 'Oyez, Oyez' Everybody who has ever been in a United States courtroom knows that when the judge ascends the bench the court crier drones: "Oyez, oyez, oyez, the honorable court is now in session.'* But not many persons know that the crier says, "Oyez, oyez, oyez." instead of "Harken, harken, harken," because of a visit William the Conqueror made to an English court almost 900 years ago. William had overrun England, seized the government, and placed himself at its hend. Entering a courtroom, he heard the tipstaff call the assemblage to order in English. The king rebuked him, and on the spot decreed that the business of all British courts should be transacted in Norman French, his native tongue. Afterward, however, the courts went, back to English, but to this day, "Oyez, oyez, oyez" still clings to court procedure wherever the English language is spoken.

Pen Investigators Make Part Report Barnwell, July 13.?A majority ie! port on an Investigation by u apodal house committee on conditions In the state's penal Institutions, filed yesterday with Speaker Sol IMatt, said I evidence had revealed that some leaves of absence from the penitentiary .were "extended from time to time until (he expiration of a sentence" and that "through a leave of absence, a person was, more or less, given a pardon." The committee found that some penitentiary prisoners were allowed to work out in Columbia, and spend the night In their cells. Kv Id en ce uncovered against three former penitentiary officials, said the I report, signed by three of the llvemember committee created early this year, was "either highly circumstantial evidence or evidence of a questionable nature." The report said that "In our Investigation of Immoral conduct on the part of former prison officials, there was some semblance of testimony tending to show that probably there w*us some evidence of immorality among these officials and an inmate of tho women's prison. "However such evidence us was adduced was either circumstantial evidence or evidence of a questionable nature. "Now, therefore, the committee, after conducting a thorough and complete Investigation of the rumors and charges, from all the evidence obtained, is of the opinion that the facts brought out do not substantiate the several charges preferred against these former prison officials." The report praised Governor R. M. Jefferies for ending the practice of some previous governors of issuing leaves of absence. John M. Glenn, former prison superintendent; J. B. Cantey, former woman's prison superintendent, L. H. Rouke, former captain of the penitentiary guard, and the Rev. William A. Huey, former superintendent of the girls' reformatory near Columbia, have been presented for indictment by the Richland county grand Jury. The grand jury presented the men May 21 for indictment as follows: Glenn, on charges of forgery, embezzlement of state properties and state funds and securing leave ofabsence for a cash remuneration; j Cantey, Rourke and Huey, each on charges of malfeasance in office. The majority report said that! Huey "did not probably show at all times the proper discretion" while superintendent of the girls' reformatory, but added that "in view of the fact that the Rev. Huey had already, left this lnstutlon, and due to the character and reputation of these witnesses, the committee recommends that no further action be taken against him." Huey resigned after the--p?pal bonrd had cleared him of any charges. The report said that several girls charged Huey with "ungentlemanly; acts'" but that the only direct accusation "of making improper advances" was later withdrawn. The majority recommended that, only women - be allowed to superintend the institution in the future. In our investigation (of the penitentiary)" the report said, "we found ( that numerous leaves of absence have been granted; some were extended, from time to time until the explra-' tion of a sentence; some of them were of a nature where prisoners were allowed to work during the day * ; some leaves were granted at the re-.l finest of certain individuals; some of those granted leaves have not as yet ret timed. "We found that this was a common practice during tho preceding admin-' istrations for the past 10 or 12 years." j The report said the purchase r.nd sale of commodities at the peniten-j tiarv had been on the barter system since the time of Col. Scarborough." preventing the keeping of exact' records, and termed this "a situation which needs immediate attention,! and which is a blot on the integrity' and honesty of the superintendent. | "At present approximately 95 per j cent or more of the purchases is made through a purchasing system,' on competitive bids, properly advertised. Until recently It (this method) was not practiced to any great extent." Hwrolim Of S*vc.
