How Additional Police,
We're Chosen.
Commissioners Did Not
Even Know Them.
The Gar Dictated AL! Twelve
Appointments.

Mighty interesting reading at this
time Is the record of the appointment
! of II policemen as "a New Years
present for Akron" 1t was not that
the city needed such present, but
political debts to pay that these ap-
pointments were made and another
weight added to the burden OF the
taxpayers.
The Democrat is informed that the
members Of the Board did not at any
time prior to the appointment confer
in regard to selecting the best men.
There were nearly 300 applications for
| appointment, but not moments
time was consumed by the Board in
considering their fitness for the posi-
tions to be filed.
On the forenoon of Monday, the day
Of appointment both City Commission
crs, McMillen and Crisp. held n
lengthy conference with Judge Ander-
son Mt the Court House. The Car
submitted to these gentlemen list
Of men who should receive the ap-
pointments.
In the afternoon, the two Repnbl-
| can Commissioners met in secret CON
sultation in the City Solicitors office
to compare their lists and understood
each other.
Each OF the Republican Commits
sioners desired, for personal reasons,
to appoint couple Of men of their
own choosing, rather than the Cars
and therefore their secret caucus was
| rather lengthy. They halted between
a desire to fulfill their own promises
and the promises of their dictator.
Duty, however, compelled them to
obey and they agreed to appoint the
Cars.
10 show that the members of the
Board had nothing to do with the Sc
lection of the new police and that
they were chosen by Judge Anderson

strated by the following facts:

SING SING AND AUBURN.

If the recommendations of the Prison Asso-
clation's special committee are carried out the
prison buildings at Sing Sing and Auburn will
be torn down and new prisons built elsewhere
for the accommodation of the criminal colonies
The Warden Of the Sing Sing institution. the
special committee and an expert sanitary en-
gineer agree that the prison on the Hudson as
II is has defects that cannot be remeded. Damp
ness, absence of sunlight. insufficient ventila-
ti0n Overcrowding and bad drainage are some
OF the points dealt with in the report which will
be presented 10 the Legislature.
The prison has been improved in the last few
years in many respects. \ number OF the old
ramShackle buildings have been removed and
in their place a handsome building has been
erected. which contains the mcS>roon,. hos
pital. chapeIs and library. The walks about
the inne. court have been gclaid and sub
stantial retaining wall has been built about the
prison buildings. These improvements have
given hundreds OF the cOnvicts employment ard
improvements about the prison are still going
on. Ii has also been suggested thar when
nothing more remains To be done in The way
Of improving walls and walks plans be made
for The elaborate Ornamcntation OF the exterior
of the buildings. The work in and about tile
prison Was done at small expense 10 ill.,. State.
and much of IL WAS undertaken at time when
the evils of enforced iilcness were making
themselves manifest in the discipline aud health
of the prisoners.
But while the work improved the institution
and gave employment to the cunvictS. ii did not
remedy the most seriUus defects. and despite
these improvements the prison has been described
by members of the committee as dark grim and
''forbidding, with massive walls that drip with
moisture, and windows SO deep and so small
that the direct rays Of the sun seldom enter"
The committee also contends thai a Judge. who
sentences a modern prisoner has no intention of
exposing him 10 consumption or typhoid fever
but that he does 80 by sending a man 10 the
places which are better fitted for tina crypts
"Of a catacomb than for the cells of a twentieth
century prison
The people of Sing Sing would also be pleased
10 see the institution removed to some other
spot. for. despite its beautiful situation and lis
many advantages As place of residence the
proximity of the penal institution has had IA
bad effect on the village by deterring people
from making II their home.

failure 10 buy home there said that he coud

stitUtion is recommended by persons who are
prompted only by humane motives they feel
justified in their efforts in the same direction
