SING SING CONDEMNED.
Prison Declared Unfit For Hnbitn-
ton and out of Date.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Prcsidcnt
Lewis of the state board of health has
made thorough examination of the state
prison at Sing Sing. He said the build
ings were out of date the cells were too
small, no sunlight ever entered most of
them and the whole prison was full of
sewer gas and unhealthy.
The visit of President Lewis followed
a visit made on Saturday by other Nom
bcrs of the board and Charles 7. Win
gate, the boards sanitary engineer The
latter pronounced the sewer system Of
the prison very bad. The floors of the
buildings are but four or five feet above
tide water. The sewers empty into the
river at normal low water mark When
the tide rises. there is cessation of dis
charge. and the tide backs into the pipes
and also forces back the gases generated
in the pipes. The rising tide forces
these gases through the traps. These
gases are blamed for the recent outbreak
Of typhoid in the prison. The engineer
said there could be no remedy for the
existing state of affairs until the prison
was located on higher ground.
1t is expected both the engineer and
the president of the board will advocate
the building of an entire new set Of
buildings at another location.

West Point Cadets Voluntarily Agree
TO Abstain.

WEST POINT. y. Y. Jan. 21.-The
congressional committee left here ycstcr
day for Washington after having con.
cludcd the mission of investigation at the
United States Military academy. Before
their departure. however. through II vol
untary agreement of the cadets. hazing
was abolished. This voluntary agreement
was the result of a meeting of the entire
corps of cadets held in Grant hall.
This action came as a surprise to the
committee, which consisted of General
Dicl, of Ohio, Judge Smith of Iowa. Con
gressmcn Wangcr OF pcnnsy lvania and
Clayton and briggs of New York. All the
members of the committee were pleased
TO learn that the cadets had seen fit to
anticipate the action of congress in wip-
ing out practices of "callng out" and
hazing of fourth class men from the ira
diticns Of the institution.
1t was nearly midnight Saturday when
Colonel y. l.. Mills. the superintendent
of the academy, handed Il copy of the
cadets resolution to General Dick. When
the other congressman learned the nature
of il, Mr. briggs moved that Colonel
Mills should read it and afterward it
should be added TO the record.
The committee holds the next meet
ing in the room of the committee on in
terstatc and foreign commerce at Wash
ngton at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
They expect TO make their report in
about ten days, and it is said ON good
authority that they will recommend that
the number of tactical officers at the
West Point academy be increased. 1t i,
also reported that they will say that the
