Borstal System Reclaims
so per Cent Of Young
Criminals

LONDON, Jan. 3.--In view of the
prison reform movement now being
agitated both in England and Ameri-
ca, report just issued by Sir Evelyn
Ruggles- Brise. chairman of the prison
commission, is of interest.
The report deals with the success
of the Borstal system for the reclaim
alton of the habitual criminal between
the ages of 16 and 81 years The
system takes its name from Borstal
prison, the first English institution in
which it was introduced.
But Sir Evelyn explains in his re-
port that he first saw the system in
operation in the state prison in Ami
ra. New York, and in Jackson, Michi-
gan, during tour he made to inspect
the prison systems in the United
States. Upon his return to England
he made an experiment at Bedford
prison. and it was so successful that
he extended it to Borstal.
Prisoners Gain Privileges.
The essential features of the system
Is the giving of credits for good con-
duct. A certain number elevates the
the prisoner to a class that carries
with it privleges--an iron bedstead,
strip of carpet. looking glass and
other simple conveniences in the cell.
Sir Evelyn concludes his report
with the remarkable statement that
SO far the system has resulted in
reclaiming so per cent Of the cases in
which it has been tried at Borstal.

CHURCH MERCER
HEARD IN COURT
Cumberland Presbyterians
Don't Want to Combine
With Other Faction

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 3.-Mem-
bers Of the Presbyterian and Cum
berland Presbyterian churches
throughout the country are deeply in
terested in an injunction suit that,
came up for hearing today in the ap-
pellant court in this city.
The injunction seeks to prevent the
union of the two religious bodies and
was filed by members of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church. No appar-
ent opposition to the union exists
among the members Of the Presby-
terrain church of the United States.
The general assembly of the Cum
'berland Presbyterian church at the
annual meeting held in 1903 at Nash
vile, Tenn, passed a resolution sub
hitting the question of union OF the
two branches Of the denomination to
vote the membership.
Church Votes for Merger.
At the geenral assembly held in 1905,
at Fresno, Cal, the vote of the Cum
berland membership was canvassed
and showed majority in favor of
union. At the meeting of the general
assembly Of the Cumberland chuEch
held last May at Decatur, ILL.,. the pro-
posed union was formally decided
upon.
There was a minority report on the
matter, however, as many of the MEM
bers of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church are bitterly opposed to the
merger with the Presbyterian church
of the United States.
The minority report recited the fact
that a total Of $7,390,56O worth of
property belonging to the Cumberland
church or under its control, would re-
vert to the Presbyterian church, and
the Directing members held that there
was no authority in the constitution
OF the Cumberland church which sane
toned such a step.
Injunction Proceedings Begun.
On the contrary. they held that 1t
was directly opposed to both the spirit
and the letter of the fundamental laws
of the church
James Milliken university, of De-
catur, H.. is one of the institutions
controlled by the Cumberland Pres
hvferian church and as the last gen.
eral assembly OF the church was held
In that city. injunction proceedings to
preevnt the contamination OF the
union were commenced there by the
members OF the congregation who are
opposed to the change.
1t is these proceedings that aye now
up for hearing and the result Of which
is awaited with keen interest by the
members of the two churches every
where.

BRIEF NOTES OF SPORT.

. . . - . . . o . . .
The joint meeting Of the schedule
makers of the two major leagues to be
held next week Is awaited with much
interest 1t Is difficult to forecase just
what will be done. as the National
league has gone on record for 1874
games, while the American league is
out for the short season.
1t is said in Providence that Candy"
La Chance will hold down the first
station in Waterbury the coming sea-
son.
Bill Bradley and Charlie Carr have
a sporting goods store in Cleveland
and Charlie Hickman and Doc"
White are engaged in the same line In
Washington, d. c.
According to Joe Cantillon the AM
erican association magnates made
serious mistake when they blacklisted
Mike Kelly They though they were
simply barring him from the associa-
ton and that Mike could play in some
other league" says Joe.
The trip to the Stanford university
baseball team to Japan next May will
no doubt do a great deal to boom the
American national game in the realm
of the Mikado.
Perhaps Manager Clark Griffith of
the New York Americans thinks he
can find few stars in Europe to help
the Highlanders win the pennant next
season.
If the Detroit, Boston and Washing
ton teams Of the American league do
half as well the coming season as the
fans expect the pennant race will be
corker for sure.
Nevada fight promoters would like
contest with Champion Jim Jeffries as
one of the principals-but not a $780,
600 principal.
After presenting the middleweight
championship to others Tommy Ryan
now says they have got to fight him
for it. When did Tommy ever fight
Frank Couch, the champion wrest-
Ter has announced his engagement to
marry Miss Annctta Barrett of Hum
boldr, Iowa. The wedding is to take
place inJune.
For the first time in several years
King Edward VII has good hurdle
racer in Nuli-Secundus. Ambush II
and F1axman were the two best hurd-
lers in former years in the royal sta
bles.
The horse show recently held IN
Seattle, Washington came very near
ly enGmS IN row. III seems tnal
some of the exhibitors got real angry
when they failed for the blue. Better
try an automible show next time and
let the bubble makers" and not So
ciety run it.
Eddie o'Conner, Yales wrestling in
Etructor. is slated for a match at
Waterbury. Connecticut tonight with
George Bother, who lays claim to the
lightweight championship of America.
The new rules of foot ball have not
panned out so badly after ALL We
can look back now on one OF the
greatest football seasons in history
from the view point of both players
and spectators.

OUR SMALL FACTORYS

Chanute has several small manu-
featuring institutions scattered abou
over the city to which we pay but
little attention and which do not re
ceive the credit they merit as town
building factors.
If some capitalist from the east
should drop in and say he proposed
establishing a factory in SO ME Kan
sas town that would employ one
hundred people, there would i'm
mediately be hustle among the
business men and the commercial
club to locate said factory and a
handsome bonus would be offered
to get it.
Yet in our midst we have these
small institutions that have grown
up without any help or any encour-
agement and frequently, perhaps
without even justice, that employ
quite a little force. Every week
they pay out their money to the
laboring man for his work and the
money seeks at once the channels
of trade and usefulness.
If a small firm on Saturday night
pays out fifty or hundred dollnrs
in wages it is greater benefit to the
town than the rich man who re-
ceives fifty or hundred dollars in
interest from unfortunate humanity
and chucks it into the bank to lie
there till he has a chance to loan II
again.
1t is the nimble dollar of the
laboring man that builds a town.
Every effort should be made to
foster ana encourage the small labor
employing concerns. In the aggre-
gate they amount to big factor in
the growth and development of a
city.
