Death Better Than Prison

New York, May .25.--Many eloquent
pleas for reformatory children were ut
tered at yesterdays session of the Ma
tional Conference of Charities and Cor
rection. but none was Quite so startling
as that of a colored delegate from Vir-
ginia, who raised his voice for the little
ones of his own race.
John II. Smyth was the speakers name.
He began by quoting statistics to show
the great preponderance Iof black over
white convicts in the jaiis of Virginia,
and went on to ascribe this disparity to
the fact that Virginia provides ample pen
itentiary accommodation for the whites,
but very little for the blacks
1T would be better to kill the unhap-
py children of my race he exclaimed,
than to wreck their souls by herding
them in prisons with old and hardened
criminals"
The delegates appeared deeply moved by
the speakers earnestness, and a moment
or two later he aroused them to DEM
onstration of an entirely different charac-
ter by speaking of the patriotism of Vir-
ginia, with especial reference to General
FitZhugh Lee and the colored troops.

CROOKS CAPTURED.
Detectives Make a series of I'm
pOrtnnt Arrests.

Several important arrests were made
by headquarters men last night. Detec-
tives Helsn, Kilmartin and McNamee
captured two men near Tenth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue and locked them
up at the Twelfth Street station as sus-
picious characters. Detective Helan rec
ognized one of them as professional
crook from a photograph of the fellow in
the rogues' gallery, which, however, the
officer had not seen for two years. At
the police station this man gave mis- name
as John Frank Fisher.
Your right name. said Helan, ad-
dressing the prisoner, rs Frank Allen.
and TO that we viii tack on your aliases,
Soldier Slim and French. -
The fellow weakened and acknowledged
as he expressed it. that the "hys'' had
! him dead 10 rights, so far as his iden-
1 tity was concerned. but he pleaded that
! he had not intended to do any crooked
work here.
Fisher. or Allen. was arrested here sew
eraI years ago and held for the Missouri
authorities. He was wanted in that State
| for pOstoffice rObberies. His companion
arrested with him last night, is not so
well known by the detectives. He gave
his name as Harry Joslyn and stated that
they came here from Alexandria, and
both were volunteer recruits as they had
enlisted in a recently organized Virginia
regiment. The detectives believe they
have been doing some all-around work in
| Washington. and win further investigate
them today

Samuel Cornish. charged with the grand

Boyd recovered some time ago. Boyd held
