The authorities at Washington are

matter of the investigation of the af-

three months, and probably will not be

investigation is in charge of Fourth As

If half the surmises are true there will
in the end be revelations which will not
look well in print. One result of the
work will undoubtedly be a complete
reorganization of the system which will
prevent in future such abuses as are
now alleged.

At 2 o'clock Chairman Blodgett
turned the ballot box and drafted a

The startling statement is made IN
Minneapolis that of the forty-one pris-
oners in the Hernepin county Jail,
not n is above twenty-three years
Of age. The condition that brings
about this state of affairs is worth in
Quiring into. A Hennepin county
judge commenting upon the situa-
ton says that he believes the increase
OF crime among young men is due
to their being forced u of many
sources of employment by girls. The
n thing certain is the fact that
there are more young men occupying
cells in jails and penitentiaries than
there were a few years ago, and it
behooves those persons who interest
themselves in criminology to inquire
into the conditions that have brought
about this increase in the criminal
tendencies of young men.
