l premier, and his ministerial advisers.
I Sir Wilfred is quoted as saying:
• The United States congress having
approved the reciprocity agreement, it
is desirable that action without de
lay shall be taken by Canada."
The premier feels that the obliga
tions under which Canada rests to the
(United States shall be discharged one
: way or the other without delay.
The commissioners who negotiated
the reciprocity pact, pledged them
selves and their governments to ac
tion without delay. The United States
has performed its part of the agree
ment. The paramount duty of the
Canadian government, therefore, is to
carry out its part of the agreement
and since the opposition has blocked
all efforts to secure a vote, the appeal
to the country is taken as the most
diject means of disposing of the pend
ing question.
The new parliament will assemble
about October 11, and if the Laurier
administration is successful, which
seems now to be assured, reciprocity
will be approved and the pact will go
into effect some time around Novem

SHAKE-UP II FEDERAL
PHSON TAKES PtACE
Deputy Warden Resigns. By Request
Under Charges of Abusing
Prisoners.
(SPECIAL TO THE LIGHT.)
LEAVENWORTH, Kan.. July 29.
—The long expected shake-up at the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth
came this morning when Frank
Lemon, deputy wafden, resigned by
request. His removal as an officer
of the prison was recommended to
Attorney General Wickersham, fol
lowing an investigation of prison af
fairs by Inspectors of the department
of justice.
The Inquiry Into the conduct of cer
tain prison officials began the latter
part of March. It lasted through all
of April and May.
Robert McClaughrey, the warden,
was exonerated In the report forward
ed to the attorney general. It is be
lieved, however, that three other
prison officials will sever their con
nection with the institution shortly.
Lemon’s resignation was net a sur
' prise to those familiar with affairs
at the federal prison. The Investi
gation of the penitentiary was prompt
ed by complaints of discharged con
victs and guards. One prisoner, they
said, had his arms fettered to his ceil
while the deputy warden beat him
cruelly.
Not much attention was paid to the
story at first, as released convicts
often make charges against prison of
ficials in an effort to get even. The
complaints of the treatment of pris
oners at Leavenworth grow until the
department sent John F. Fishman and
R. C. Lewis, inspectors, here. They
stayed week after week, going deeper
and deeper into the condition of af
fairs at the prison.
Their report was forwarded to
Washington three weeks ago. While
it was of a secret nature it was gen
erally rumored here that it contained
dynamite and that when that dyna
mite exploded something was going to
happen.
The removal of Lemon caused ex
citement in other departments at the
prison. No one knows just how far
the report of the special Investigators
goes or when the secret hand of the
department of justice will strike next.

ROAD IT ONCE
Engineer Named by Highway
League Leaves Tonight for
Corpus Conference,
TO VISIT ALL COUNTIES
He Will Consult Officials and
Citizens Along Proposed
Routes of Highway.
W. S. Hawkins, th* newly appointed
highway and consulting engineer for
the Bexar County Highway league,
will leave tonight for Corpus Christi,
where Monday morning he will begin
his work in the Interests of the pro
posed highway from San Antonio to
the Gulf. He will seek to arouse the
same enthusiasm. among the business
interests of that city relative to the
project, which characterizes the busi
ness men of San Antonio.
He Intends to arrange a meeting of
cltlsens of Corpus Christi for Wednes
day or Thursday night, at which the
undertaking will be discussed and at
which he hopes an organization simi
lar to the Bexar county league will be
formed to assist in the execution of
the undertaking.
It is his purpose to also visit Bcc,
Wilson and Karnes counties during
the week, confer with county com
missioners, officials and citizens fur
the same purpose—that of arranging
for meetings to perfect organizations
to take up the project in the respec
tive counties. When formed these or
ganizations will all co-operate with
the Bexar County Highway league in
getting work started on the highway.
Believes Success Is Certain.
In speaking of the project yesterday
afternoon and its prospects for suc
cess, Mr. Hawkins was optimistic that
it would be brought to a successful
termination by the representative body
of men who are backing it. He laid
stress on the fact that much depended
on the attitude taken by the execu
tive committee.
"For instance,” he said, "when the
meeting at Corpus Christi is arranged
1 will call for eight or ten San An
tonio men to come down and assist in
explaining Just what the road means
to this section of the state. If they
should fall to come the people of Cor
pus Christi would lose confidence in
the project, but,” he added, "they will
not fail, for every man who assisted in
the formation of the league seenied
to have his very heart in the matter.
Project Is Feasible.
"Before ever broaching the subject
of a highway from here to the gulf
I made a trip through the country to
be served and found that the project
was highly feasible. As a matter of
fact it Is only a question, in the main,
of improving the present county roads,
for the highway will follow these for
the greater part of the distance. I
do not anticipate that difficulty wi'l
be experienced in financing the high
way in any of the counties to be
served. In certain counties I favor
the voting of road district or preeinct
bonds for the improvement rather
than county bonds."
Mr. Hawkins said that the matter
of what route the proposed highway
would take was undecided. The road
can either be built along the line of
the Southern Pacific as far as Victoria
and then south to Corpus Christi or it
can be made to parallel the right of
way of the Sap to the coast. Both

Hoad Must Be Uniform.
“A fact of prime importance In con
nection with the highway U that It
must be uniform in construction along
its entire length. This I Intend to
impress wherever I go. What we wan*
is a highway of the same character
from here to the coast.”
In speaking of the work to be done
in Bexar county, Mr. Hawkins said
there was much room for improve
ment. He states that for the best re
sults to be obtained from the oiling of
roads, they must be first prepared for
the application. He estimates that

two sprinklings a year are sufficient
for the upkeep of reads here and that
the cost will not exceed two and one-,
half cents per square yard for each
application.
In order that Mr. Hawkins may
demonstrate the efficiency of hia
method of preparing and oiling roads,
it is probable that the league will re
quest the county commissioners to al
low one-half of the south loop to ba
improved. This, says Mr. Hawkins,
will demonstrate the dlfferem-e be
tween his method and the one now
in vogue.
Had Much Experience.
Mr. Hawkins is an engineer of broad
experience. From 1894 till 1908, as
a government expert, he supervised
numerous engineering projects in
various sections of the country. Dur
ing the la»t three years of his em
ployment by the government, his work
was largely that of a consulting ex
pert It was by his energy that rail
roads were built through the rich
land reservations of the Osage In
dians in Northern Oklahoma.
From 1908 until recently, Mr. Haw
kins. appointed by Governor C. N.
Haskell, has been the official engineer
for Oklahoma. In co-operation with
the commissioners of the various
counties of that state, he has accom
plished much toward the general de
velopment of the country.
With the expiration of his term
Mr. Hawkins was unanimously en
dorsed for reappointment by the
