SELECT PRISON PLANS
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DECIDE
UPON THE OUTLINE FOR CON-
STRUCTIoN OF NEW JAIL
CONTRACT TO ST. LOUIS FIRM
But Specifications VIII BE Drawn by
St. Paul tImated
Cost of Building About
100000.

The plans for the new county jail have
been selected by the county commission
ers. The four local firms which entered
the competition were left in the cold, and
the award made to a st. Louis firm. but
with stipulatlons that all labor and such
materials as can be had here shall be
used in the structure. Further, a st. Paul
architect will be employed to oversee the
work The successful competitor. the
Pauly Jail company, will receive payment
in 2 per cent on the total price of con-
struction, which is not to exceed $lOO,9OO
This commission, whatever it shall prove
to amount to, they offer to refund to the
county if they receive the contract on
the steel work.
Ex-Assemblyman Reardon appeared be-
fore the board and protested against the
award, on the ground that the work ought
to go to St. Paul concerns. More than
that, he believed that the offer to make
a refund was in the nature of a bride.
Commissioner Quehl objected, and stat
ed that the selection had been made after
due consideration Of the merits and de-
fects Of all the plans, and they had con-
scientiously decided on the Pauly plans
because they best met the requirements
of Ramsey county.
Mayor Smith declared that he was op-
posed to building on the present site, and
that the plans of one Of the local firms
should have been selected. He rather ia
vored those Of Buechner & Jacobson.
Maj Espy appeared to make protest
against the Disagreement of the court
house block The court house, he said,
had been constructed and placed so that
when it should be extended, as 1t will he
necessary in the future, the addition
should face Fifth street. If the jail is to
be put there it would block the extension
when it shall become imperative He said
Sc 800 would buy the most available site
at Fourth and Exchange; S10,25O would
buy the site Of the old factory belonging
to the ST. Paul Furniture company; but
he believed that the best place was over
looking the river along West Third.
Architect jacobson said the st. Paul
men, too, could explain their plans
Commissioner Hardck said that the
most available site, just across Cedar
from the old jail, was held at the extrav-
agant price of $4,000. because the owner
believed that if a Jail were erected there
it would depreciate the surrounding prop
erty.
J. J. Pauly offered a contract which the
board Immediately turned over to the
county attorney for approval prior to It's
adoption.
Bids will be advertised for as soon as
the contract is signed between the com
pany and the county.
AS the matter stands, the Jail will go
UP on the old site.

The commission recently appointed to
investigate the question Of prison labor
and lay before the next legislature some
plan to- abolish the system. Of contract
labor at present in practice at the SILVIA
ter penitentiary, met last night in the
office of the governor to decide upon their
proposed trip of investigation. The COM
mission consists of State Senator's Bald
win and Somerville, and DR.. Folwell, of
the state university, all of whom were

ing for a short time, and addressed the

He requested the commissioners to visit
at their earliest convenience the penal
institutions of the East, particularly thosa
OF New York and Massachusetts, and to
inform themselves as fully as possible as
to the best methods of employing the Ia
Dor of convicts without detriment to free
labor, and to prepare as full a report as
possible.
At the conclusion Of his remarks the
governor left the commissioners to ar
range their own plans, and it was decided
Senator Somerville was even in favor of
starting for the East this morning, but
the other members preferred this even
ing, and 1t was SO decided.
Dr. Folwell. who, in spite of the many
ether demands upon his time, has found
opportunity to inform himself upon the
subject Of prison management and convict
labor, was able to give his fellow men,
bers valuable advice as to what institu-
tons had the best methods Of utilizing
the labor of convicts, and would therefore
furnish the best field of study for the
commission.
After some informal discussion 1t was
decided that the commissioners should
leave st. Paul tomorrow night over the
North Western road and proceed to Buff
talo, N T., via Chicago. From Buffalo

He Couldn't Understand.

Wednesday, in the Criminal Court, an
indictment for carrying pistol was
found against an old negro, who, in adj
dtion to not being very bright of mind,
was deaf to such an extent that no one
could make him understand the nature
of the charge against him. Judge
Looney appointed w. j. fowler, Esq,
to defend the Old man. Mr.. fowler,
who was not aware of the negro's afllic-
ton, took him aside to find out some
thing about his case, but all attempts
to make him hear were futile, and Mr..
fowler finally gave it up. Messrs.
Shelby Coffey, W. G. Salmon and W.
G. Whitthorne v ere then segerally APP
pointed to take charge Of the case, and
each severally gave it up, their attempts
to enlighten the negro's mind being
provocative of no little amusement.
Judge Looney finally released the darby
and continued his case until the next
term of court.
