Indianapolis Jurist Hits At

titude of Society Toward

Criminals.

LAPORTE. Ind.. Oct. 1. Speaking before the state conference of Charities

and Corrections today. Judge James

A. Collins of the Marion Criminal Court, at Indianapolis, explained in

what way the state has become a great

offender against thhe persons convicted of crime, and their dependents.

He declared that whenever a state

permits wrongs and abuses to exist within its borders then the 6tate itself becomes an offender, and that in spite

of the old legal maxim that "the state can do no wrong." In the course of his address he said: "The Jail was never intended to serve as a prison, and so long as the state permits its jails to be used as prisons, so long will she continue to be an offender. And the Jail problem will remain with us so long as the state countenances the piece of petty political graft paying sheriffs forty cents a day for feeding prisoners." The speaker advocated the state furnishing the food instead of the sheriff doing so. "Contract Labor" Hit. The system of "contract labor" in prisons was condemned by Judge Collins and he declared it never had been the intention of the writers of the

Indiana constitution that corporations

and individuals should "wax rich on

the labor of the state's delinquents."

Continuing he said that poverty and

misery should never be increased by depriving the dependents of convicts

or their only means of support, leaving them absolutely without assistance. ; The uses of labor at the Indiana

prisons to repair, and if necessary

build railroad cars was suggested by Judge Collins as a possible useful occupation for persons sent to the prisons.

He argued that the regular factories and foundries in that work would be relieved to a certain extent of the

present pressure upon them.

Comparing: forward steps in care of prisoners, taken in Indiana and other

states. Judge Collins said:

"We in Indiana are not so far behind our sister states in working out

the problem of inmate labor, but the

weakness In our system Is a failure to

provide for either the inmate or his

family to enjoy a little of the fruit of

his labor." Butler l Speaker.

Another speaker at today's session of the conference was Amos W. Butler, secretary of the State Board of Charities and Corrections. He dis

cussed the demands which will be made on the social agencies because of the war. According to his view

many extraordinary situations and de mands will have to be met.

"All the lines of human activity will have to be recast," he said. "There will be a different perspective. There

is little out of our experience we can call our aid. The work of the Red Cross in Canada and Europe will afford the best guide."

Mr. Butler declared there must be

an army of mercy to fight at home and

in the hospitals the pitiable battles of

life and death against disease and the

tendency toward lax moral condition due In both public and private even mor vigorously than before the war.

The best possible organization of the

agencies which carry on 6uch work,

both at home and abroad, must be at

tained, Mr. Butler sa'd. He made a number of suggestions as to how the work in view might be assisted. The program for today included a

number of other addresses. Among

the speakers were Dr. Paul F. Bowers.

in charge of the Indiana colony of

Criminal Insane: Charles E. Talking-
