ACT QUICKLY, SAYS DR.. LINDLEY

DR.. Walter A. Lindley yesterday said L:
1.-THE jalls in California and in fact
throughout the United States are horribly
conducted. The city prison here is one
of the worst. The ancient idea OF sem
fencing malefactor to jail was princi-
pally for punishment, which meant re-
venge-the worst sentiment Of which the
public can be guilty.
"fhe sociologists' theory OF putting a
criminal under restraint leaves out the
idea of revenge. but includes two other
ideas: First-The protection of society;
second Reformation OF the individual.
"The present methods of our city and
county jails are medieval.
"As stated in the Herald, the little boy,
the adult first offender and the confirmed
criminal are all thrown together.
"No provisions whatever are made for
segregating them.
1.-The idea of anything reformatory in
connection with our iails will of course
provoke derisive laughter. The state un-

From Teheren
The Exercises We're of the Highest Order and
Reflect Great Credit-Twenty.
two Graduates

4 WASHINGTON, May 19.-In dispatch
to the state department from Teheran,
April 10TH Minister Mcdonald gives an
interesting account of the work of the
American missionary schools in that
city. He states that heihad the pleasure
by special invitation on April 9th of at
tending the commencement exercises at
the school for boys of the American mis-
sion for Teheran, of which Rev. Lawrence
Ward is principal. The exercises took
place in the American church, which was
filled with an assemblage of both natives
and foreigners. Mr.. Mcdonald occupied
seat on the platform and representa-
tive of the shah's college was present
and made brief. speech of commenda-
ton of the school. The Rev. Messrs.
Potter and Styns also took part in the pro-
ceedings.
1.-The exercises said Mr.. Mcdonald,
''were sucn as took place at an American
school of high grade. Speeches in four
languages were made by the several hon
or graduates--in Persian, Armenian,
French and English. The young men
spoke with perfect ease and fuency.
The branches taught in this school are
the languages already named, with Arabic
and Hebrew, arithmetic, Persian and
European, algebra, bookkeeping, geog
raphy, general history, etc. There are
over 100 students and nine teachers.
Some of the pupils are assisted in their
living expenses.
There were twenty-five graduates The
school, in Mr.. McDonald's opinion, is
doing much good, and he described it as
being not the least OF the praiseworthy
works carried on by the disinterested
Americans in Teheran.
The shah has visited it in person and
commends it. A girls school conducted
in a like manner is regarded by Mr.. Nc
Donald as being equally worthy of praise.
In it the pupils receive board and lodg-
ings, either free or at nominal rates, ana
the excellent ladies in charge are de-
voting themselves nobly to this laudable
work. Girls are sent out by them every
year fit to support themselves or to become
ornaments of society"
Minister Mcdonald also makes mention
of the American hospital, IN charge of
DR.. J. G. Wishard, which he says is a
splendid charity IN high favor with both
government and people. The hospital
has likewise received the commentator
of the shah. cat all missionary stations
in Persia" admits Mr.. Mcdonald. II be-
lieve there are similar institutions en-
gagged in the same ends, not to speak of
the faithful work and Jealous labors in
behalf of the Christian religion by the
missionaries.

MORE EXPERIENCED TESTIMONY

Mrs. M. s. Dimmick. who has been for
twelve years the superintendent of prison
and police work in the W. G. Il. u, was
the next witness. and Was seen in her
home, 1927 Calumet avenue, Angeleno
Heights. She used to visit the Jail when
it was in the old adobe building on
Spring street. When that on Second
street was built the population was con-
siderably less than it is now. and it was
a rare thing to find women in the prison.
But even in its erection there was little
heed paid to sanitary measures or precau-
tions, and Mrs. Dim mmick was at a loss
for words TO express her opinion on the
subject.
