CONVICT LABOR IN NEW YORK.
The Prison Commission VIII In
dOrxe the Present System.

The Prison Com mission VIII In
dOrse the Present System.
Albany. Dec. 2S.-The State prison COM
mission, in its annual report to the legis-
lature. will recommend continuation of
the present system of convict labor in the
prisons of the State, and the special COM
mittee OF the assembly, appointed to inyes-
tigate the operations of that system, of
which Assemblyman Frederick r. Peter
son, of Chautauqua, was chairman, will in
dorse the system and advocate that no
change be made during the next session.
The report OF the prison commission has
been prepared by Commissioner William J..
Montanye and that OF the assembly COM
mittee is being drafted by Chairman Peter
son and F. ". Stevens, of jamestown, who
acted as its special counsel
During the existence of the abolished
systems. the report will assert, many out
side industries were ruined, and the State
gained nothing by their operations. the
cost of maintaining the institutions being
so high in comparison with the remunera-
tion from the conyicts' labor. The result
was a constant appeal to the legislature
by organized labor for some form of relief.
The report points out the fact that in the
Albany. 0nondaga and Monroe County pen
.itentiaries contracts are still in operation.
These were. made prior to 1895. however,
and will continue until 1900. The earnest
recommendation is made to boards of su-
pervisors TO establish industries as provid-
ed in the prison law.

Toledo, Ohio. Dec. 2s.-The robbery of
the American National Bank at Lima,
Ohio, is no nearer solution today than on
Monday, but before the close of the week
some startling developments are ex-
pectcd. Is ls1
Last evening Assistant Superintendent
Hines, OF the Pinkerton Chicago agency,
arrived. Detectives C. F. Ryan and NJr.
Hines made an examination, assisted by
expert safe men from all over the coun :
try In an Interview Ryan said that al
though he was an expert only where safes
had been blown, he felt positive that no
stranger committed the robbery, but that
some one thoroughly familiar with the
bank had robbed it.
His opinion, like that of W. E. Arnold,
of the Cincinnati Victor Safe and Lock
Company was that the robber knew the
combinations and knew that the time lock
was not set on the night previous to the
robbery. ,n1gc
When asked il he had any idea who did
the work he said he would not dare to say
at this time, but he insinuated that nu
professional; did it, leading ,)ne to bsiieva
that, in his opinion, 1t was lone by L;i.,ii
parties who were acquainted with the de-
tails of the bank, or who had accurate
knowledge of some of the affairs of the
bank.
