Questions Discussed ut Yesterdays
session ot the Congress.
DENVER, Sept 1.-THE Penitentiary
Wardens to-day discussed prison disci-
pline, the talks often veering toward the
favorite topic of reform OF convicts. A
committee consisting of William Cham
berlain of Michigan, Henry George of
kentucky and B. w. Linn of Virginia
read papers on the subject OF discipline.
Mr.. Chamberlain stood for a system of
grading convicts, privileges being granted
according TO grade, and he declared for
humanltarianism as the proper form OF
d scipline.
Mr.. George said in part: Labor should
be demanded on the part of the prisoners
for their own sake. No man who uses
mean words and abusive epithets to
man over which he had complete control,
soul and body, has right in peniten-
tiary or prison. y man who does not un-
derstand that prison Is a reformatory as
we'll as a penltentlary is no man to guard
and superintend convicts. We cut OFT a
mans Sunday privileges, or, if he chooses
not to work, we handoutf him, so he
must stand under his window until he is
controlled"
MIR. Linn of Virginia said that for It's
population. most OF which are negroes.
Virginia had an idle lot to contend with.
II like this indeterminate sentence in
connection with q tick ket-of-leave sys-
tenn" said he. Enforcement OF rules is
the first thing. Obedience first, then in
dustry. Sentiment should be obliterated.
l differ from Mr.. George as to punish
meni. This must be adapted to the nature
OF the inmates collectively and individ-
ually. Solitary confinement may do for
one prison or one man. DIsci pline alone
may control many men. I believe isola-
ton from The outside world would be
very beneficial to every prison manage
ment."
The Wardens had lively time discuss
ing the papers.

Just then j. Sloat Fasset obtained the

spoke to the resolution that the State

spoke for three minutes, and then offered
a motion that the resolution which had
