TIME MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENT
That Is Patterson's View as to Visits to
State Institutions.

Springfield, Ills, April 14.-During
the house proceedings yesterday Pat
terson, from the committee to visit
penal and reformatOry institutions,
presented the reports prepared by the
committee as a whole and by himself
"One of these reports" said Patter-
son. may be called the committee re-
port; the other minority report. At
tention has been called to the fact that
there is a difference in these reports.
The chief difference is in relation to
the Pontiac reformatery. l think it
may be explained by the fact that the
reports are based upon two different
visits and one made about two weeks
later than the other
"One of the reports describes the
reformatory as dirty; the other as
clean. The report describing it as
dirty was based upon conditions which
existed when the institution was come
upon suddenly and without previous
warning. The fact that the institution
was fater found to be clean may be
accounted for by the fact that an OPP
portunity was given to prepare it for
the coming of the COMMITTEES. -
