REF0RMAT0RY MATTERS.
W. J. Lingenfelter Talks About the State
Institution at Hutchinson.

W. J. Lingenfelter of Wellington
was in Wichita Friday. Some time
ago it was rumOred that the board
aud John S. Simmons, the superin
tendent, did not work together a,
smoothly as might be desired, A re-
porter for the Eagle called on Mr.
Lingenselter and asked him if there
was any truth 10 the rum0r.
mo-" said Mr.. Lingenfelter, "Mr
Simmons is the mao. He is a first
class superintendent. He succeeded
j. G. o. Morse. Mr.. Simmons came
to the refOrmatory without any prison
experience. Like any other man who
enters new field Of work, he had a
great deal to learn and he has learned
it, and now he is model superin-
tendent.
"The institution is getting along
very nicely. At present the pOpula-
tiou is 215. There have been more
improvements made during the last
eighteen months than were made in
the five preceding years.
zone thing that all the members Of
the board consider as detriment to
the institution is the quashing Of the
law which enabled US to send a bad
inmate to the penitentiary. BY yir-
tue Of this act we could at our discre-
tiOn transfer to the penitentiaIy any
one whom we thought exercised bad
influence over the rest OF the pOpuli.
tio1. In the state OF Illinois, simi-
lar law is 10 force in regard to the
reformatory at Pontiac. The same
thing is true in New York, where the
law has been in force since the found
ing OF the institution in 1874"
Iu reply to the question as to
whether the reform school was sue
cess, Mr.. Lingenfelter said: II am
positive that it's fruitful OF good re-
suits. | think that about so per cent
of the boys are benefited aud the re
maing 40 per cent are natural born
criminals who cannot be reformed.
There is a fellow now in the institu-
tion who is a good example OF this
class. He was sentenced for forgery
He proved to be a most tractable
young man and it was not long before
he was given his parole. He had not
been out three months before he was
caught in a forgery and brought back.
He was very penitent and seemed tc
regret that he had ever committed
the crime. His behavior was as good
as IL had been before and be was again
paroled, but was out only a few weeks
before hs -ad forged . note for ESQ

FOURrHIOF JULY IDEA.
Proposal That the Democrats Nominate
Their Leader on Independence Day.

Proposal That the Democrats Nominate
Their Leader on Independence Day.
Kansas City, June 03.-A story has
been put in circulation indicating that
plans have already been perfected for
the national Democratic convention to
nominate Bryan on July 4th, even If
the other business of the convention,
such as permanent organization, COM
mittee ON credentials. and even the
platform should have to be post
poned. The few delegates who are
here no not take kindly to the sugges-
ton, and say that the convention
should proceed in the usual order.
While there is a sentiment i'll making
the nomination on the 4th, it is
thought it would be carrying sentiment
too far. There are u number of con-
tests which must be determined, and it
will not be possible to settle on the
platform without some consideration.
Question of 1G 10 L.
The fact the platform is the chief
matter of argument and speculation
now. The topic uppermost i'll the minds
of the Democracy seems to be whether
or not there shall be a specific declara-
tion in the platform for silver coinage
at 16 to 1. or whether a simple reaffirm-
ton of the platform adopted at Chica-
20 shall be sufficient. 1t is believed
that much depends upon Bryan'S wishes
in the matter, but even he may not be
able to influence the action of the con-
ventiOn, if it is deemed n wise policy
to adopt the same plan that has been
followed in several western states and
not specifically mention 16 to l. Bry-
ans wishes are indicated. probably, in
Il letter to j. l.. Woods Merrill. secre-
tary of the United States Monetary
League, in which he says: Il beg to

backward step from the position TAX

Indicate that these men do not think
it important to make a specific decla-
ration, while others make it plain that
if 16 to 1 is not mentioned il will be
construed as an abandonment of the
principle. Advocates of Is TO 1 say
that TO omit the declaration would be
trimming" and the party cannot af-
ford to do any trimming in view of the
advanced stand taken four years ago
after bitter and intense struggle. The
mere fact that simple reaffirmation OF
the Chicago platform to such large
number of men who did not remain
with the party four years ago makes
it unsatisfactory to the ultra silver
men.
