The third annual State Conference of
the California Board of Charities and
Corrections came to close last night
at the First Unitarian Church. A
more brilliant session. replete as
it was with interesting papers
on scientific subjects and subjects Of
general interest concerning the State
institutions of California, has never
been held by the organization.
Some Of the most eminent students of
medicine. heads of charitable and pub
lie institutions and organizations, law
yers, ministers and members of the
bench took part in the convention, pre-
senting to the assemblage addresses and
papers on subjects of wide interest. The
aim of the convention was to secure
information as TO the best way in
which to govern charitable organiza-
tions and institutions, public institu
tor, houses of correction, hospitals
and places of confinement for the Grim
inal classes Much discussion was had
on the subject of the child criminal,
how TO curb the criminal instincts in
the young and how to reform them
after their Incarceration resulting from
some criminal act.

Annual Inspection of Ninth
Cavalry Will Take Place on
Green Turf of Links To-Day

The disappearance of Squadron Ser
geant Major Henry F. Walls, Ninth
Cavalry, from the Presidio is causing
much uneasiness among the colored
troops at the post. Where he is or
what has happened to him nobody
connected with the squadron knows.
1t is now nearly ten days since he
has been seen by his comrades. Pre-
vious to that time he had been seek
ing the flowing bowl pretty freely, and
for the first few days after his dis
appearance it was thought he had
gone downtown to finish his spree AS
time wore on and he failed to show
UP, a diligent search of his favorite
haunts was made, but without sue
cess. Yesterday a runOr reached the
post that fisherman had stated that
the day before, while he was coming
in from sea- he had seen the body of
a colored soldier floating in the bay
with some sort of yellow braid on
the arm of his coat sleeve, which. from
the description. corresponded with the
chevron worn on Walls uniform. The

and that before he could put about
the body had disappeared. This may
possibly be solution of the mystery.
An examination of Walls accounts
and effects showed everything to be
in order. the only thing missing be-
ing a pistol.
Walls was very popular with his
company. He was in the battle of
Santiago de Cuba. where he fought
valiantly and was severely wounded.
CAVALRY TO USE LINKS.

and Major j. P. Wiser, artillery in

of the cavalry and artillery post of
the Presidio yesterday morning. The
day was devoted to inspection of the
records.
The cherished Nea Of Major Bigelow
that his troops should be allowed to
maneuver on the golf links will be
realized to-day. weather permitting. The
order has gone forth from headquarters
that the inspection of the cavalry shall
take place on the ground now occupied
by the golf links. Heretofore the ma
neuvers and drills have taken place on
the lower parade ground and on the
high grounds back of the point. neither
of which was fully adequate for the
whole squadron. The lower grounds
have been turned into a slushy lake by
the recent rains and the point grounds
are too small, hence the edict has gone
forth and the cavalry will prance over
the soft green sward of the links. The

JAILs BREEDERS OF CRIME.

Rev. ]. X. Mclean, D. D., of Oakland
spoke on The County Jail" DR.. Nc
Lean referred to the county jails OF
California as breeding places for crime
saying in part:
| The criminals should be segregated. The
practice of placing all of the criminals in
touch with each other is bad one. One
! quarter of the criminals receive their educa-
confined in the tails. This is particularly true
of the boys. They are thrown in with lot
of hardened criminals and learn to regard
them as ideals when they listen to stories
days sentence OF a boy In an ordinary jail
is Enough to fix many a boys destiny with
the criminal class. 1t is the congregate sys
tenn that is 50 Injurious to the characters OF
the prisoners. Most of the jails of California
are first class schools for education in crime.
Jails are dens, as they now are kept; and
II is not so much the fault Of the Sheriffs and
supervisors as. it is the fault of the people
of the community TO investigate and attempt
to curb crime.
The subject of jails was next dis
cussed by Charles NJ. Finch. Osgood
Putnam then read paper on "Proba-
tion for Adult Offenders" In part it
was as follows:
At the last session 1 addressed you upon the
subject OF the probation law for adult rfend-
ers and this conference recommended the pas
sage OF such a law: in the interim such law
mas been passed and now awaits enforcement
at your hands The law is permissive and will
only be out into effect where the community
court that has put this law into effect is in
Alameda County. Funds must be obtained for
the salary of the probation officer from chari-
taole persons or institutions, before the law
can be put into effect elsewhere.

THE CHILD IN COURT.

For the criminal They have fostered those
measures Tor stopping the child at the thresh-
hold Of crime by juvenile courts and probation.
They have been Influential in changing the
system of punishment for crime, inherited
from the dark ages. a system which pro-
posed TO avenge crime, an eye for eye, a
tooth for a tooth. which in practice was meted
out in double measure. 10 a system which
treats a crime a disease and has for it's
purpose the protection of. society only Under
this system the instruments of bodily tor
ture have disappeared and in their place have
come books and schools. They have estab-
lished training schools for juveniles. reforma-
tories on a graded merit system for first Of
Tenders, parole system for all classes, and
the advisory pardoning board. They have also
secured the indeterminate sentence and the
habitual criminal act, whereby the criminal
who has passed hope can, for the safety of
society. be held until his death and yet the
door for the regenerated may be always opaned
For the public: They have economized the
expenditure of public funds and have increased
results; they have adopted means for pre-
venting the increase of dependents by seeking
out and purifying the source of supply; they
have improved tho service of county and city
charities, corrected the indiscriminate giving
OF relief. and have in d large measure stopped
the pauperization Of the able bodied lazy.
IN general State Boards of Charities have
collected masses of facts from many fields,
CLASSIFIED and reduced them to a science; have
ameliorated the sufferings of thousands of af-
hicted men, women and children and ele-
well spring of philanthropy, inspired a higher
ideal OF civic duty, stronger sense of moral
responsibility, deeper feeling of the universal
