From Top to Bottom.

Asserting that the discovery of condi-
lions as found by the House investigating
committee bearing his name was such as
TO warrant a general cleaning out of State
institutions, Assemblyman Simon Hahn
aroused much enthusiasm last night at a
meeting Of the Newark Democratic Club
in its rooms, 80 Bloomfield avenue.
He also announced the pledge of the
Essex Democratic Assemblymen for a
modification of the present excise laws.

hut there is one section which takes away

the opening of saloons on Sunday from

Cheers greeted his utterance, and i
was some time before he could continue
his review of the work of the Hahn com
mittee.
One of the first things we discovered,
he went on, was that balance of Sl5o,OO
had been deposited by the State Bankint
Commissioner In banks in which he wa:
interested and which did not pay a cent o.
Interest. The State Treasurer admitted tn
truth Of this.
He then attacked the dual ~oficeholdini

CAFFREY YIGILANT
SAW INTRUDER IN OFFICE
AT MIDNIGHT.
Desk and Drawers of Lumber Co
Decentralization Visitor Had
Suspicious Tools.

George A. Clark. 80 years old, who
claims a residence in Pearl street, New
York, was found lying on the floor in the
office of the Murphy-Hardy Lumber Com
pany. in Passaic street, shortly before
midnight last night, by Special Policeman
'Caffrey. The latter saw the man through
a window. and also saw that one Of the
desks was open and the drawers pulled
out. The policeman had a hard time
awakening the man, who said he went into
the office TO have a sleep. but when he was
searched a file about eight inches long. be-
sides two knives, were found in his
pockets.
The man had gotten into the office by
opening a window in the rear of the Of
flee. Nothing of any value was missing.
Caffrey turned his prisoner over to Po-
llcemen Beattle and Sugrue, who locked
him up in the Second Precinct.
When Clark was arraigned before Judge
Herr. in the Second Precinct Court today.
he pleaded not guilty of doing anything
wrong, but as he was charged with break
ing and entering, he was held in $1,000 bail

and during the typhoid fever epidemic at
the State Hospital at Trenton.
Il can still see the terrible Picture he
said. And still Mr., Fort speaks OF there
being no Flemish on the record of the Re-
publican party. Take the Railway Fte-
formatory as another Instance. There is
an institution intended as a place of reform
for first offenders. The place is anything
but that. Those dungeons we discovered
in the cellar of the institution were as bad
as the vilest dungeons / have read about in
Darkest Russia
THE inmates he continued, ARE fed
ON bread and water in these facilitating
dungeons, where lack of sanitary condi-
lions adds to the misery.
''Think of it! Strong, healthy boys were
allowed but two drinks of water a day
and two slices OF bread twice a day. All
this time the inmate is haine to the
floor. L say conditions are SO revolving
that this and other Institutions should be
cleaned out from top to bottom"
He told of the severe beatlngs the boys
say they received for minor infraetions
Of the rules. He styled it absolute brutal
ity but stated that even that was moth
Ing to compar with the stories of inn
morality that the boys told. He referred
to Harry Martin. son of Superintendent
Martin. who admitted under oath that he
had paid some of the inmates money and
brought them in tobacco.
Mr.. Hahn next took up the State hos
pital conditions. referring to the death OF
Enoch Silvers. an inmate.

NIGHT RIDERS DESTROY CROP
KukIux Revived in Fight
Against Tobacco Trust.

KukIux Methods Revived in Fight
Against Tobacco Trust.
Instead of a tobacco war. real war
with shooting and bloodshed is liable TO
grow out of the strained situation in
western Kentucky over the tobacco fight.
So-caHed independent or unorganized
growers are tired of having their tobacco
barns dynamited or burned and their beds
of seedlings destroyed by night riders,
and are open in their threats to begin
reprisals. Damage to the extent of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars has been
done in the last few months by methods
savoring of the kuklu4.
All this is because certain tobacco
growers refuse to band themselves with
organizations which are fighting the to-
bacco trust by holding their tobacco at
n upset price. There is deep resent
ment against the trust. To deal openly
with it in violation of the organized
growers program invites midnight out
RACES. The authorities are becoming
alarmed at the prospect of a more serious
situation as the result of prolonged law
lessncss.
The State government has been repeat
cdly called upon to afford protection, but
has only caused the arrest of three al
legged incendiaries. The State fire mar
shall has made repeated visits 20 the dis

ISLE OF PINES CUsA'S.
Supreme Court Decides 1t Is Not
American Territory.

Supreme Court Decides 1t Is Not
American Territory.
The Isle OF Pines is not American ter
ritory. The United States Supreme
Court so formally declared in a decis-
ion announced by Chief Justice Fuller.
This decision by the highest court of
the United States apparently disposes
of the question of the ownership of the
Isle of Pines once and for all. The
treaty between this country and Cuba
has not been ratified. Owing to the
decision of the Supreme court it hardly
needs to be ratified now, because both
of the other branches of the govern
ment, executive and legislative, are
necessarily bound by the action of the
court, and could take no action to sep
arate the Isle of Pines from the parent
republic. of Cuba except as an act of
war. SO far as the United States is
concerned, it has %judicially yielded pos
session of the island to Cuba, and it
could not regain possession except by
force.
This disposes of a troublesome ques-
ton which a disturbed this country
and Cuba almost ever since the Span
ish war. There are several hundred
Americans on the Isle of Pines. There
are several thousand American citizens
who were induced to buy property in
the island under the belief that it was
territory of the United States, and that
1t was to be treated in the same way
as Porto Rico.
This dispute over the ownership of
the Isle of Pines dates back to the
treaty Of peace which was negotiated
at Paris after the war with Spain. This
treaty provided in Article /, that
"Spain re%linquishes claim of sovereign
ty over and title to Cuba" II the Sec
"A article of the treaty is was provid-
ed that Spain cedes to the United
States the island of Porto Rico and
other islands under Spanish sovereign
ty in the West Indies, and the island
OF Guam in the Marianas or Ladrones."
The Philippines We're disposed of in a
separate paragraph.
There is scarcely any doubt of the
fact that at the beginning, at least, the
Isle of Pines was either forgotten or
was treated as an integral part of the
island of Cuba, to the government of
which it was always attached under
Spanish rule.
