DR.. Wight Says as Winter Re-
sorts Many Like Them for
Their Comforts.

TRENTON. Oct. 14:-Dr. George
b. Wright. Commissioner of Chart
ties and Corrections, submitted to
Governor Stokes yesterday a report
of his recent Investigations of labor
conditions in the penal and reform
atory institutions or the State. The
investigation was begun at the in
stance of Governor Stokes, and has
resulted in some interesting discov-
cries. DR.. Wight recommends a
change in the system of awarding
the contracts for prison labor, by
which the revenues of the state from
the institutions might be increased
and an opportunity given without
additional cost to carry out the plan
or paying for the support of famil-
les of convicts from the earnings of
the convicts in prison. At the pres
ent time the state derives an average
income of only five cents an hour for
each prisoner employed, although
it furnishes the workshops, machin-
cry, power, supervision and labor.
In his report, Dr.. Wight says in
part:
At your request, | have inquired
into the condition and management
of the county jails. OF course |
could not make a complete report
without a personal inspection of ev-
cry jail in the twenty-one counties,
which, with other demands upon
this office, | have been unable to do;
but | sen to the sheriffs of the sew
eral counties a sefies of questions
covering the information desired,
eighteen of which have been cour-
-teously answered and returned.
From these circulars ! learn that in
all the iails the eXe are separated,
of course. In fifteen of them boys
awaiting trial and detained witness
es are kept separate from prisoners
held for trial or. convicted.
AS to the others, the information
Is unsatisfactory. Statements in the
public press, complaints received
from prominent citizens, and, in one
instance, a personal interview with
one of the honorable judges of our
courts, assure me that under present.
conditions, they are not calculated
to improve the morals of the prison
ers or the moral ton of the COM
munities in which they are located.
Several counties have recently erect
ed jails fitted with everything neces-
sary to the proper are of all detain-
ed persons. 1t is to be hoped that
other counties will speedily follow
their example.
But the county jails are popular
with a certain class. AS cold wealth
er approaches they will commit
some trifiing offense and get a sem
tence of three months, which will in
sure them a comfortable shelter and
three good meals a day with no work
to do until the winter is past and
warm weather comes again. The
taxpayers pay fors this, and it is up
to them to think up a remedy. The
employment of these county prison.
ers would do much toward relieving
the situation, but it does not appear
what work can be found for them to
do.

Lakewood Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION Thursday night, it was an
nounced that by the will of Mrs. Julia
j. McCartee, who died last April,
$95, 600 will accrue to the association,
which will make the long-cherished
scheme of a modern Y. M. G A.
building possible. Mrs. McCartee
was for years a winter resident of
Lakewood. Announcement was also
made that through the generosity of
Captain A. M. BRADSHAW, who form
erly owned the property, the associa-
tion has secured a lot at Lexington
avenue and Second street on which
to erect the new building. The lot
fronts 200 feet on Second street and
100 feet on Lexington avenue, and is
one of the most desirable sites in the
town. The price of the lot was 49,
600. which is several thousand dol
lars less than its real value Work on
the building will start early in the
spring
The establishing of a Y. NJ. c. a.
in Lakewood has been q hard, uphill
fight. From the time when, more
than two years ago, a Bible class of
young men, under the direction OF
William E. Bum. who is now the
general secretary of the association,
developed into the young mems read
ing-room, Mrs. McCartee watched
over and in every possible way kept
the work alive. Principally through
her efforts and generosity the read
ing-room was nodded into Il Young
Men Christian Association, and her
munilicent gift which was made pub
lie Thursday night, crowns her long
list of generous deeds.
The announcement of Mrs. McCar.
tees gift zones at a time when the
association is planning its first ami

interest OF the occasion. The
churches of the town will be entirely
given over to the Y. Nj. G.. A. Sun

BARCES NOW USED.
Cheaper Way to Bring Southern
Lumber than by Sail.

Barges@are %supplanting schooners
in the Southern LUMBER trade. j. w.
Crockett, of Norfolk, explained yes
terday to several shippers why their
craft were not wanted. Mr.. Crockett
has just delivered lumber for the
new Staten Island ferry slips.
With barges, he said, a large tract
of land in North Carolina, hitherto
inaccessible. has been reached. A
barge canl carry 100000 feet at
about the. same draught of the av-
erage schooner sailing light, and
barges with double the capacity of a
schooner can be chartered for $1,000
from Norfolk, whereas a schooner
would cost $3.50 to $500.
Again, Contractor Crockett said, a
barge does not have to figure on the
weather, and by rafting lumber
from North Carolina a $500 tow bill
is saved.
