PRISONS AS SCHOOLS IN CRIME.

A San Francisco dispatch says that Fred
ericks, who recently murdered bank cashier
Herrick, and who is suspected of having
committed other murders, traces his GRIM
inal career, In large part to his prison asso-
citation with hardened criminals. When
sent to the State prison three years
for a minor crime. There, although he was
a first term man and not hardened GRIM
inal, he was brought In contact and became
train robber and two long-term burglars
These men filled him with stories of their
exploits and with desire to emulate their
daring crimes and the first thing he did on
being discharged was to locate and enter into
communication with other bold criminals of
the same class who were still at large. In
short, he received his first real criminal i'm
pulse and education by enforced contact with
hardened criminals In prison His prison
life, instead Of being reformatory, was a
school In crime This is but one of thou
sands Of similar cases that serve to en-
phasize a radical defect In the penal sys-
TENS of nearly all the States. This is the
association of young men of merely vicious
tendencies, mere beginners in crime, with
hardened criminals who may have served
several terms In prison and are far beyond
the reach of reformation. This defect, in
one degree or another, runs through our
whole penal system, penitentiaries, jails, re-
form schools and all. 1t is not only a radi-
cal and vicious error, but cruel wrong to
enforce or permit such an association. The
separation of beginners in crime and con-
firmed criminals is absolutely necessary to
schools I'm prirna

THE CARNEGIE ARMOR FRAUDS.

The statement of the Secretary of the
Navy relative to the frauds perpetrated
by employees of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany under the contract for the manu-
facture of armor plate for the navy dis
closes an interesting state of facts. 1t APP
pears that the first information that
frauds had been perpetrated came to the
Navy Department from employees of the
Carnegie company. who stipulated for re-
ward in case their information proved true.
Partial investigation by the department
showed that the information was we'll
founded. and 1t was agreed that the in
formers should receive % per cent. Of what
ever might be recovered by the government
on account of the frauds. The action of
the informers was purely mercenary, but
as they were masters of the situation the
government had to make the best terms it
could with them. Further investigation
showed that the frauds had been ingenious
ly and systematically practiced during a
period OF more than a year. and that the
result had been the furnishing Of a large
amount of armor plate not up to the re-
uuirements of the contract At this point
Mr.. II. C. Frick, superintendent and Mr..
Hunsicker assistant superintendent of the
Carnegie works, were summoned to Wash
ington and confronted with the proofs of
fraud. They expressed great surprise and
qualification that the frauds had been dis
covered. dsclaiming all knowledge of the
transaction. The frauds were done by the
workmen. and If they were not in the in
terest of the company. in whose interest
were they? The company disposed to
discaim responsibility for the acts Of its
employees but that plea was not admitted.
Mr.. Frick was informed that the company
would be fined 10 per cent. all the armor
they had manufactured for the government
trated, and including the sums paid them
by the government premiums speed.
IL IS said that the total amount OF this fine
as originally assessed by the Secretary Of
the Navy would have amounted to 100000.
Mr. Frick asked IL he could appeal from
the decision OF the Secretary to the Presi-
dent and was told he could He did APP
peal, and after examining the proofs In
the case the President shortened the period
during which the fine should apply and
reduced the assessment from 10 to 10 per

cent 1t is said the effect of the Presi-
dents decision was to reduce the fine as
sessed by the Secretary of the Navy from
$4,000 to $4,000 He also disapproved of
the Secretary's report, which severely CEN
sured Carnegie. and the Secretary was
obliged to draft a new report, in which. as
the text shows. neither Mr.. Carnegie nor
Mr.. Frick is censured. So far as appears
their employees perpetrated the frauds In
their interest without their knowledge. In
accordance with the Presidents decision
the company has paid over to credited
the government with, in round numbers,
$4,000. of which 1000 goes to the in
formants. A coincidence in the case which,
to say the least, is singular is that it was
shortly after Mr.. Cleveands decisions re-
ducing the fine from 100000 to $4,000 and
Disappearing of the structures on Mr.. Car
negie that the latter came out in an inter-
view favoring the passage of the Wilson
bill. The facts as stated appear on the
surface. but the full inside history of the
affair will probably never be known.

HABICH'S FINDING OF LAW.
He Fined an Ex-POliceman for Watch
ing AckelOw's Saloon.

Yesterday Justice Habich held that ex-
patrolman Kerins was guilty of trespass,
as charged by Proprietor Ackelow, OF the
Circle House. On Sunday, March IL, Kerins
was detailed to watch the saloon at the
hotel and. as charged by Ackelow, made
himself obnoxious by entering the different
apartments of the hotel after being ordered
not to do so by Ackelow. The arguments
were heard on March q and %. In his de.
cision Justice Habich said:
Such action was against the two funda-
mental principles of our government
'First-That no person shall be considered
guilty unless proven to be so; and,
"Second-That the people shall be secure
In their. houses against unreasonable and
Unnecessary searches. The police had mis-
understood the extent of their powers >"
The Justice himself believed that 1T was
better to allow violators TO go unpublished
than to have an officer enter inside the in
closed premises of citizen and watch for
hours under the guiSe OF inspection and
thereby cast reflection on a good citizen
that he is violating the law, or that he will
do unless under the surveillance OF an
officer"
Justice Habich held that the extent Of po-
lice powers was given in the following sec
ton of the city charter: said superintend-
ent or any captain may, by written author
ity. empower any member of such police
force when in search of stolen property or
Of suspected offenders, to examine the
books, business or premises of any Of the
persons named AS KerinS did not have
any written authority, Justice Habich held
that he was guilty OF tn. charge, and ac-
cordingly fined him S25 and costs. The case

The Journal has already called attention
to the remarkable bill of Representative
Martin, now before the House, which puts
the widows Of men who died deserters on
level with the ex-soidier who died leav-

Mr.. Martin could not well have devised a
greater insult to the man who faithfully
served his country than is that bill which
makes dead deserters as honorable and
gives their heirs the same rights as the
man who was honorably discharged. Both
measures are Inherently bad; and 1t is
cause for regret that both have Indiana
Representatives for their authors.

PASSAGE OF A BAD BILL.

The passage by the House of Mr.. Bretz's
bill opening the doors of the Pension Bureau
to the claim CT a person who was not in
the United States service is a very danger
Gus precedent The person in question may
have received an injury while Morgan was
raiding in Indiana. If he die, Congress
should. If it regards the claim well sus-
tained vote him a special pension. But to
pass bill recognizing the right Of men to
pensions who have never been mustered into
the United States service is altogether an
other affair. True, Congress may refuse
all other cases. but. having once admitted
the right, it will be vastly easier to open
the doors of the bureau for others. which
means an army. 1t seems strange that
this man, who was shot nearly thirty years
ago, is just presenting his claim to Con-
gress. Few people remember the cir
cumstances, and at this distance from the
event. recollections are as often at fault
as they true to the fact. The people
