NOVEL CONSTRUCTION
OF NEW AKRON JAIL
Prisoners VIII Be Unable to
See Each Other.
UNDER EYE OF THE JAILER
Prison Now Building Introduces Entire
ly New Style of Arrangement, and
May Serve as Model.

AS president OF the International As
sociation of Chiefs Of Police, Major
Richard Sylvester has under considera-
ton the plans and description of the
Akron modern reformatory Jail, now in
course of construction in the Ohio town.
The building is the only one of its kind
in the world having been so arranged
that while the inmates cannot see each
other. all are plainly visible to the turn
key at all times. Major Sylvester in
tends preparing a report on the innova-
tion. and will present 1t at the next
meeting of the association.
The unique Jail was planned by Frank
o. Weary. an architect OF Akron. 1t
establishes an entirely new principle of
Jail construction. and is likely to lead
to a general reform OF remodeling or
rebuilding of the old style institutions.
Arrangement of Cells.
The most radical change is brought out
in the ingenious and original arrange
ment of a central court, OF triangular
shape. On either side are ranged series
of four stories of cells. each cell having
window opening on the court, abso-
lutely inaccessible from any outside
rescue.
The windows are arranged in q series
OF receding bays and set In such a man
ner with relation to each other as 10
make it impossible for any prisoner
looking out has own window from any
one cell to either see or recognize or to
be seen or recognized by any other
prisoner in any other cell upon the oD-
posite side. or on his own side Of the
court. At the same time every prisoner
can see and hear. or be seen and heard
by prison official an evangelist. OF
other speaker who desires TO address
them. This advantage dispenses with
the necessity of assembling them to-
gether for any general chapel service OF
other reason. and prevents them from
becoming acquainted with each other.
Light From Central Court.
Another advantage is that any un-
fortunate or innocently arrested persor
will be spared the enforced fellowship
ard association with hardened criminals
The central court is still another vel
come and beneficial innovation. 1t pro
vides light 10 all the cells. prevents
prison pallor to inmates. and solves th'
rroblem Of Individual isolation. Th'
visitors cage is also an ingenious
feature OF the Jail. The convict an
| his visitor are kept at least eight fee
apart. to prevent any scheming or hand
/ ling of contraband material. The guar,
can readily pass between them during
any such suspected communication.
Major Sylvester is favorably impresse
with the plans, and will most likely sub
| nit favorable report at the convention

The Columbia stock company opened
the second week of its engagement at
the Columbia Theater last night with a
good performance of Madeleine Lucette
Ryley's An American Citizen" the play
in which Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliott
found such an excellent opportunity to
show their talents.
Eugene Ormonde and Aida Cortelyou
are the successors of Mr.. Goodwin and
Miss Elliott in the Columbia production
and held the center of the stage most OF
the time last night to the satisfaction
OF an audience which was liberal with
applause. and marred the first entrance
of Mr. Ormonde and Miss Cortelyou by
compelling them to bow in acknowledge
ment of their hearty reception.
The role of Beresford Cruger, who
marries for money and falls in love with
his wife afterward is probably better
suited 20 Mr. Ormonde's style OF acting
than any he has played in stock work
in this city. He carried the comedy sit
uations we'll. and made much of his final
scene with Miss Cortelyou. in which
they discovered their love for each
other But Mr. Ormondes performance
was marred by a painful unfamiliarity
with his lines.
Miss Cortelyous Beatrice Carew was
an excellent piece Of acting. Her pro-
Eounced English accent, noticeable in
all her work. was especially acceptable
in her part as Beatrice Carew. and she
is every inch an Englishwoman.
The other members of the cast were
overshadowed by the leading man and

Lafayette-"Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"


With a strong touch of the artistic
and a light smattering of rant, the Ber-
ger stock company last night presented
the gruesome and bloodcurding "Dr-
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" as the final Of
fering of the season. With due allow
ance for a brief rehearsal. the fatigue u
long season. and the numerous disad-
vantages of a stock company, the play
was well enacted throughout. and the
celebrated dual role was admiringly
portrayed by John T. Sullivan
The performance was marked by a
benefit for Corp. George S. Dietz. OF the
District Guard, who was shot recently
and seriously injured at Ordway. the
rife range. This fact explains why the
audience was composed principally of
militia officers and ''the boys The
crowd was large and happy, and let no
chance slip by that looked like an open
ing for bit of fun. They sang between
the acts, cheered the superior officers.
and behaved like so many college fresh
men.
Upon Mr.. Sullivan the burden of the
work naturally fell, and it's weight is
sufficient to test the metal of any actor.
In both characters of the double roie
Mr.. Sullivan showed strength. Some OF
his gestures were false, one or two of
the most important scenes we're Ia
mentally weak; the pose of kindly Or.
Jekyll several times resembled that OF
an unfortunate actor, and there were
