WILL CONFER WITH VERMONT.
New York Board Will Come Here Re-
garding Lake Champlain Water.

Definite measures were taken by the
department Of forest, fish and game OF
New York, whereby the Legislature Of
that state has appointed committee
OF two members from the senate and
two from the assembly, also Major J.
W. Wood, chief protector, to work with
q similar organization from Vermont
for the better protection Of the waters
of Lake Champaign. Henry g. Thomas,
chairman of the board Of commission
ers for Vermont, has been in correspon-
dence with the New York committee.
and is informed through Major Pond
that as soon as the Vermont legislature
gets to work, delegates from the New
York committee viii be in Montpelier.
and urge the Importance of Vermont
taking the same action that New York
has, and that the two organizations
will then communicate with the par
liaments of Canada, both upper and
lower provinces.
The committee must necessarily work
with the upper province in the matters
pertaining TO St Lawrence River and
Lake Ontario; though the main inter
est OF Vermont will be with the lower
province in relation to Missisquoi Bav.
1t is hoped that satisfactory and stable
results will be brought about by this
Joint action.

from disease, etc., were not recuper-
ating as they should. We, therefore,
after another conference with the
state authorities, decided to erect
what is known as the State Prison
hospital at Ocala, Fla, and have con-
centrated at that point all prisoners
who were in need of medical atten-
ton.
The report of DR.. s. H. Bitch,
state prison physician, and who Is
also hospital surgeon, shows decld-
edlv and clearly the value OF this
institution to the state of Florida.
As further evidence of the
benefit and aid the same has
been to the state prisoners, we beg
70 submit that while the previous
years the mortality rate had run
anywhere from four to eight per
cent, that during the year 1903, or
the first year of the operation of the
State Prison Hospital, out OF 1910
prisoners handled there were only
IS deaths in the entire prison camps
within this state, or a fraction over
one per cent of all prisoners under
confinement.
You are doubtless aware of the
fact that we do not shackle any OF
the state prisoners, and do not lock
them on building chain at night,
and that their task has been reduced
on the basis of an average able bod
led free laborer.
Their food is carefully selected and
carefully prepared, and is never lost
sight of until it reaches the interior
of the individual
Their clothing is at all times kept
in good condition. Their quarters
likewise, and the prisoners are forced
to cleanse themselves at regular
stated periods.
Particular attention has been paid,
both by us and by the state, to the
sanitary condition surrounding each
camp, particularly so in regard to
the drinking water.
We think all these safeguards have
materially advanced the health and
spirits of the Florida state prisoners.
As an evidence of the care that has
been taken of them, we have never
had at any one time found as many
as six prisoners in the entire state
(outside of the hospitaD confined to
quarters on account of sickness, and
malaria is practically unknown"
1t is perhaps remembered how
much of the space of northern news
papers and magazines were taken up
few years ago in telling about the
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1904-09-23

The prisoners are no longer shack
ed day or night. They are provided
with ample, wholesome and well
cooked food. Each prisoner is pro-
vided with an iron bed, mattress,
pillows, pillow slips, sheets, blankets
and night shirts and before going to
bed bath is required.
Special regard is given to santa
ton and the result, especially in the
death rate, has been marvellous.
On a recent visit 20 the hospital
camp near Ocala we were provided
with the following data:
AT the time this company as
sumed charge of all Florida state
prisoners January 1st, 1902, of the
nine hundred and forty one CAD
prisoners delivered to us at headquar-
tiers, Holder, Fla, on that date it
was found that practically 10 per
cent of them were unfit for manual
labor, and were placed by us on the
INDECENT list. After asserting the
prisoners and placing them in separ
ate classes in regard to their physical
strength, we found that some forty
one of these sO-called dead heads
could do very light work, such as
cooking, washing, etc. In addition
to these there were about fifty 800
or the balance of the dead heads"
that were absolutely worthless and
which we concentrated at one camp
in South Florida for recuperation.
Expert medical opinion supplied US
at the time was the assurance that
very large percentage of these dead
heads were in their present condi-
ton as a result of Overwork and
improper maintenance. We also
found upon investigation of the
prison records that very large per
cent of the prisoners died each year
in the Florida penitentiary, which
appeared to us to be entirely beyond
all reason. We, therefore, after con-
ference with the State authorities,
incorporated in our sub-lessess obi
cations on the sub-lessees to house
their prisoners in well ventilated
buildings, TO supply each prisoner
with a good bed, bedding and pillows,
night shirts, sheets, pillow cases,
etc., or in other words, to make our
stockades as good as the average
home, and that they should at all
times be kept up to the standard.
We further paid particular atten-
ton to the cooking arrangements,
and saw that each camp was proper
ly equipped with modern appliances
for the preparation of the prisoners
food, and further that each camp
should at all times have within easy
call a reputable physician to ad-
minister to the sick.
We further watched very closely
the average task given each prisoner
and corpOreal punishment admins
istered. And we think in working
the entire lot of prisoners directly
under our supervision that We have
somewhat improved the morals Of
the convict lease system pertaining
to the state Of Florida
After a years experience we found
that the sick and INDECENT prisoners,
or those who had become chronic

IS SUNDAY q DAY OF SIR7
ouote from the London Graphic
Washington Post j

especial notice and consideration:
Presiding at a meeting held at
Chatham in support of a movement
for the Sunday closing of public
houses. Maior-General Sir ReginaldC.
Hart. V. c. commanding the Thames
district, expressed great sympathy
with those people who desire TO puri-
fy the English Sunday. He was con-
WINGED that there was more sin and
debaucherv in the country on that
day than upon any other day of the
week. simply because it was an idle
day. Young people should not be dis
couraged from engaging in healthy
outdoor exercises on Sunday. In the
interest of religion and temperance,
he pleaded for cricket, football, ten
mis- and other recreations, after
church hours on Sunday. The truth
was. said General Hart, that many
people were bored to death because
they did not know what to do with
themselves on Sundays"
This is the British view. Appa-
rently-in the towns and cities at
Ieast-the enforcement of too strict
Sabbatharian laws results in crime.
With all outdoor recreations prohib-
tied a. irrehgious and profane, vice
fiourishes behind closed doors. For
hidden the streets, the parks, the
fields, the Fairgrounds, ETC., the peo-
pie resort to alternatives, which, be-
ing primarily and of necessity secret,
soon become immoral and dissolute,
if no worse by a perfectly logical
evolution. The efforts of we'll
meaning persons achieve a surface
varnish of solemnity for the British
Sabbath. The appetites, the passions,
the resentments, inherent in human
nature and not to be subdued by or
dinanees, con-ert its hidden depths
into an orgy.
Here, on the other hand, at least in
this immediate vicinity, the rigors of
Sabbath legislation produce a differ
ent form of wickedness. The Post Of
Monday morning contained a very
graphic account of a colored excur-
sion down the river to Motley Hall.
1t seems to have been a free fight
from start to finish. Drunkenness
was the order OF the day and razOrs,
bludgeons, slung shots and other
deadly weapons, its industrious ac-
Compartments. A deputy sheriff in
Prince George county was fatally in
iured, a street care onductorin Wash
ington was beaten half to death, and
from first TO last pandemonium,
broken bones and mayhem reigned
supreme. Whether these negroes
chartered the steamboat to escape
the restrictions of the district Sunday
regulations, or whether they were
the exiles of Mount Horeb church, on
Capital Hill, who took an 81 fresco
hullabaloO as the next best thing to
shindig in the sacred edifice at home,
we have no means of knowing. The
facts were as stated in the POSTS re-
port, and the hospitals of Prince
George county, Alexandria and
Washington are fountains of unan-
swerable testimony.

By so doing he has again put the Repuoii- cans in q hole. soaped the sides and pulled the ladder. If they refuse to pass the measure they will go up against a precedent established when the Chicago fire occurred in 1871, and thereby rob many honest men who have been unfortunate. If they do pass it, they will admit the Democrat ic contention that the tariff is a tax and that the tax is paid by the con sumers of the country and not by the foreigners, as maintained by them.
