TEACHERS At MANUAL
TRAINING EXHIBIT

The exhibit of manual training work
from the schools of Indianapolis, Richmond
and East Chicago at the Claypool this
week increased the interest of teachers in
this work. In addition to their exhibit the
East Chicago schools sent a set of booklets
showing the work in each grade.
"AIl schools are working practically
along this line" said Superintendent Nc
Daniel, of Madison. 1T has been about
two years since we began the work at
Madison. An organization known as the
Industrial Educational Society, enrolling
almost 400 Of the citizens Of Madison, is
doing very efficient service in promoting
the welfare of manual training in our COM
munity. The skill Of many pupils is a mat
ter of wonder and so interested are all in
this department that it aids very ma
terially other lines of work. By the way,
Madison is taking on a new life. Many
new industries have started up in the last
eighteen months and many more are in
y~estigating the facilities of Madison as a
manufacturing center. Madison has but
one railroad, yet the Ohio river must not
be left out of consideration. 1t brings
Madison within easy reach of the Pennsyl-
vania coal fields and gives us fuel at a
very small cost. 1t seems TO be quite GER
tain that the Chicago, Cincinnati 81 Louis
vile Railroad people will construct a line
from CINCINNATI TO Louisville, passing
through Madison. We are also assured of
two interurban lines

REFORMATORY RULES
MAY SOON Be CHANGED
Superintendent Whitaker Has
Some Advanced Views on
the Subject.
GRADING OF CONVICTS

Shortly after the beginning OF the new
year Superintendent w. II. Whitaker and
the Board of Managers of the Indiana Re-
formatory in Jacksonville will take up
the question Of revising the rules that are
now in force. Superintendent Whitaker
believes at least some of them should be
changed, but many OF them will be allowed
to remain as they are.
The maintenance account is one that Su-
perintendent Whitaker believes should be
changed. 1t is his belief that the system
of fines and payment for good behavior
should be so changed that an inmate will
have cash deposited to his credit. and from
this the amounts assessed against him for
misbehavior should be deducted. Before
an inmate can be released on parole he must
have to his credit at least So. This is used
to pay for his clothing when he leaves, his
railroad fare to the point he secures en-
ployment and a small sum TO assist him
until his first pay day arrives. No mat
ter how perfect the conduct of an inmate
has been he cannot have more than SIS to
his credit, but he can have a great deal
less, which, of course, keeps hin in prison
that much longer. When a prisoner arrives
he is given one outfit free. but after hat
he must pay for what he gets. Men in the
first grade are allowed So cents per day for
their services; so for the second grade and
45 for the third. According to their
grades they are charged 45. 40 and 81 cents a
day for their board and clothes, which
makes it possible for the first and second
grade men to earn 10 cents a day clear, and
the third grade men s cents, but there are
generally incidentals that keep the amount
lower.
A change in the color of the garments
now worn is also to be considered, but it
is not likely any modification will be made.
TIL first grade men wear clothing of a
blue gray color; the second grade men have
light gray and white checks, while the
third grade inmates wear clothing of black
with white stripes. There are generally
about thirty men in the third grade and
when a new man gets in he is put in the
second class. This Superintendent Whit
taker believes Is degrading without cause,
and his idea is to do away with the stripe
entirely and let the newcomers work in the
first grade in the beginning and if he is
found unworthy to reduce him to the Sec
ond grade for a new start.
superintendent Whitaker also believes
there are features in the undetermined
sentence law that should be changed, chief
of which is that a man returned on a new
conviction should have to serve a longer
minimum sentence than on his first con-
viction. In such cases the board of man.
ayers generally eQuires second timers to
serve a longer minimum term than on their
first conviction, but superintendent Whit
taker believes this is q question the judi
ciary of Indiana should have control over
instead of the board.

HOUSE WAS INVITED OUT

RECEIVER IS ANXIOUS
TO SECURE THE MONEY

The receiver appointed in the case of the
city of East Chicago against the East Chi
cago Water Company yesterday filed a Pc
tition in the Federal Court for an order
on the city treasurer TO show why pay
ments have not been made him since he
took charge of the water company.
The petition alleges that since the APP
pointment of the receiver on Nov. 10, 1903,
the city treasurer has collected on the ac-
count of the company for water and light
money to the amount of S513.69 and that on
the demand made by the receiver William
T.. Williams, the treasurer, refused to turn
over the money on advice of the city attor-
ney, Z. w. Mickey. The petition further
shows that there is due the water company
from the city of East Chicago since Nov. IL
the sum of S1,OO4.47, which the city treas
urer also refuses TO pay to the company.
