How Arkansas Governor Describes State Penitentiary, Little Rock, Ark., December 20.? Characterizing the Arkansas peniten tiary under the lease system as "a burning, seething bell, consuming hu man beings," who are ' being fed into It In a manner which results in noth ing but making fortunes for contrac tors," Governor George W, Donaghey today issued a lengthy statement in issuing pardons to old State convicts. Sharp criticism of the Governor's ac tion from State officials and citizens had previously drawn from the Execu tive the statements that "aP those who oppose the abolishment of the inhuman convict system, which we now have In Arkansas, are. in my opinion, bound in the direction of that place spoken of by Governor Blease in connection with the Constitution of his State, and it Is my belief they are going to land there in spite of ev ery effort of mine to prevent them doing so." Further criticism of the Governor's course resulted in another statement today. According to a newspaper compila tion, based on the State records, 43 of those pardoned by Governor Donaghey were convicted of murder or man slaughter; one hundred and eleven grand larceny, twenty-six assault kill and sixty-six of crimes ranging from hog-stealing to bigamy.

Won First Place in Race?Everything Lovely Till Inquisitive Swimmer Dived Beneath Craft and Made Discovery. Newborn, NT. C.?Georgo Arthur, a fisherman, in tho neighborhood of Adams creek, near Neuso river, 35 miles from this city, caught In one of his nets a largo shurk. Ho penned it In a pool which he made for the purpose, and after exhibiting it there for a month or more it suddenly van ished. Arthur told tho Inquirers that bo had taken pity on the "varmint" and returned it to its native waters. About this tlmo Arthur purchased a "long, low, rakish" skiff, explaining to his friends that ho Intended placing an engine in it and making a racing boat out of it. For several weeks he devoted many hours a day to re modeling it and placing a two-horse power engine In 1*. At last ho an nounced that tho boat was In readi ness for any and all comers, and of fered to bet that he would win. Sev eral men who thought they had fast boats inspected Arthur's boat nnd laughed at his diminutive motor. Hut he said it was of a new and powerful typo nnd that anyway he'd back k to win. So they ararnged a rnco. There were six contestants, and among the number were some ex ceedingly fast boats. Arthur was ask ed to give a trial exhibition of his engine's ability, but he refused. He said they could see it work the day of the raco. On the appointed day sev eral hundred people lined tho river bank. The course was about five miles. Tho boats were lined up for the start nnd at the crack of a pistol off they went. So faint was the ex haust of Arthur's new engine that It could scarcely be heard, and within the first 100 yards he was left far be hind tho other racers. However, things had only begun to happen. Arthur was seen to settle back in the st :? rman's seat and push a small lever. Immediately the little boat sprang forward. Faster and faster It cut through the water. Passing the other boats and their startled crews, it sped on toward the goal and arrived several minutes ahead of Us nearest competitor. That the little engine was the real thing w;is no longer doubted, and tho owner received many offers to pur chase, but declined them till After that Arthur was frequently | seen on the river with his craft cut* ting through the water at a terrlflf rate. Recently a party of picnickers vis ited the place, and during the day hired Arthur to take them for a trip on the river. They, too. were amazed at the boat's speed. One of the more inquisitive decided that there was something not entirely on the level about tho englno. Arriving nt a de sirable point, a suggestion that tho party go In swimming was made, and soon several of the young men were j in the water. Suddenly one of them dived beneath tho boat and when he arose to tho surface lost no time In scrambling back Into tho craft. He said ho had seen a shark Just beneath the boat. Arthur became greatly agitated at this point and suggested that they leave at once, but the other members of the party resolved to see whether their companion was fooling them. Seizing an oar. one of tho young mon Jabbed It Into tho water beneath the craft, nnd, sure enough, found the shark. They wero going to kill or catch It, when Arthur told them that the fish was In a wire cage beneath the vessel and that he used It for motor power. Further Investigation proved it to be true. After catching the big fish Arthur got the Idea of building a ca?e for It beneath the boat and utilizing It to tow the boat. To get the . ?di ntnrtcd Arthur used a pointed nail driven into tho end of a short stick. TAFT ACCEPTS CIIAIH AT VALE. Assumes Duties of Kent Professor?
