JAIL SYSTEM ? IS INJURIOUS

AMOS BUTLER RECOMMENDS ' DISTRICT WORK HOUSES ' IN PLACE OF JAILS.

A JAIL ONLY FOR DETENTION

Suggests That Every , Prisoner Be Made To Do Some Kind of Work "X:: -Good:: Discipline. :.r,:v-r

; "indfanapoliV Ind-, Feb, 23. "The jail, system yve have is .a relic the olden times. It is not Creditable' t6 the state. The result of its operations is injurious. " Our jails as they pre conducted do more harm than good.'-' " f The annual report of the board of state charities does not mince words vrith reference to the jail system of the state." This report, isued under the direction of Amos W. Butler; secretary of the board of state charities, contains a series of recommendations and one of them is the substitution of "district workhouses" for the jails, the jails to be used, not as a place for administering punishment, but onions a place of detention. "In a rational prison system,"' continues the report, " the jails should be simply places of confinement. Convicted prisoners should be confined elsewhere: Provision should be made by law for the official . condemnation of county jails. This condemnation should be provided for when the jail is badly out of repair j when it is unsanitary; when the moral conditions are bad. In any: event the authorities should be notified and given a reasonable time to, remedy the wrong. In case of a failure to do so, the fact should be nroperly presented by the board and it should prohibit the use of the jail "ntil the fault was remedied or a new jail built." With reference to the establish

ment of district workhouses, the re port has the following comment:

"Most of the prisoners who are

"nvictedand sentenced to jail arei chargedShh violating state laws.' It ' is hard'to understand why the state' should 'not have charge of them. In' most of our jails the prisoners are , not separated, they are not classified,: and they lead idle and frequently ira-' moral lives. Why should ' not the ' state establish one or more workhous-1 es, as the need seems to arise, under etate control, conducted on the merit ystemT These could be located,

The prisoners could be more cheaply maintained in such institutions, and, inasmuch as they would be conducted in accordance with the best reformatory methods, better results would be secured."

Railroad Companies, Among Them, . the Rock Island, Are Getting Li -Their Work.

Tere Haute, Ind., Feb. 23. The

decision by the United , States Su-

preme Court relative to coal roads. isjeias think it a most admirable move.

In honor of the fact that the Sophomore class broke off the class scrap negotiations this year, Mrs. Furnas the matron of the dormitory at Earlham, gave a special supper to the students Thursday evening. The dining room was decorated in the national colors, the work having been done secretly -during the afternoon. Toasts were responded to 'by- Mrs, Furnas, Miss Piehl, the college nurse, Rev, Hadleyy Walter Wilstne Mrs. Stanton, the dining Voom matron, and Miss Clara Brown, the governess. At the end of the meal the students joined in singing " America." ;- This is the first year the students have - taken' a decided stand against'

class sdraps, and the dormitory, offi

of direct interest in the Indiana bi

tuminous coal industry, which in" the last year has been passing into the hands of railroads until more than fifty per cent of the output is from mines owned by railroad merger companies. Still further merging in contemplation may be prevented by the decision and by the proposed investigation by the Inter-State Commerce Commission : It has been understood that the railway system which bougbtthe John R. Walsh Southern Indiajna road and his

Southen Indiana Coal- Company are to be sold soon by the Chicago Associated Bankers who took over his banks and railroad securities, and would complete' the merging process he began and toward which he had brought seven big mines. The "Rock Island crowd" a week ago completed a deal by which they gained control of four companies with thirty-four mines, whose output of 7,000,000 tons annually is nearly all sold in Chicago or beyond and hauled to Chicago over the Chicago

and Eastern Illinois, a Rock Island property. The president, chairman of the board and other officials of Rock Island were elected directors of the Deering company, the parent company of the merger.

The Superintendent had the large tin elephant used by the Freshmen in their "dare". Wednesday, , taken back to its resting place by the whitewater bridge yesterday. No effort was made to find who were guilty of the joke.

KNIGHTS HERE FROM MANY SURROUNDING LODGES. A. M. Preston, Editor of Pythian Journal Was Present Degree i Work and Banquet.

Portland, Ind., Feb. 23. Price Rook, a veteran of the civil war, has been found gulty in the Circuit court of shooting with intent to kill, Wil-

jliam Johnson, and will be sentenced

to serve a term of from two to tourteen years in states prison north. The trial lasted two days and the jury deliberated but one hour.

One of the largest informal lovlge celebrations, which has been held in Richmond for several months, was the banouet and general celebration given last evening, to out of town lodges by the Triumph Lodge, Knights of Pythias.

Following the degree work on five candidates, a banquet was served in the lower hall of the Pythian temple, and speeches were made by several of the leading member of the lodge. Several prominent Pythians attended .the banquet from Indianapolis, including A. M. Preston, editor of the Pythian Journal, the publication of the order.
