1903 Convicts to Take Train
for Fort Smith.
GO OVER SOUTHERN ROAD
Transfer Made to Relieve Conges-
ton in District Prison.
WILL START THIS AFTERNOON
Present Movement, With Prompt
Prosecution Of Pending Cases,
Expected to Be Adequate.

The attorney General has directed the
transfer of 1O3 prisoners undergoing SEN
tence In the Jail Of the District Of Column
bia to the United States Jail at For.
Smith, Arkansas.
This transfer was made absolutely nee
essary. II was stated today at the depart
merit. because Of the crowded condition OF
the jail and the impossiblity OF providing
accommodations for additional prisoners
in manner which the Attorney General
deems adequate for safe keeping of pris-
oners sentenced to the District tail.
1t was at first proposed to use the cor
ridors of the jail for housing additional
prisoners on the dormitory system. In
addition to expense involved and DANCE:
from sanitar. point of view. the At
torney General took into consideration
that the jail had not been constructed
with view to the safe keeping of pris-
oners under such conditions
He declined to assume responsibility FOR
changes which would be necessary to
permit the prisoners to be confined in the
corridor.
Room at Fort Smith Jail.
The jail at Fort Smith is a modern in
stitution. formerly taxed to full capacity
dian Territory. After the admission of
Oklahoma the population OF the Jail rapid
ly decreased. 1t has now ample accom-
modations for the number of prisoners
who will be sent from the District, al
though 1t will be necessary to increase
the force of guards.
The movement OF prisoners from the
District Of Columbia will be made over
the Southern railroad. A special train
on that road will start at 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon for Fort Smith.
Careful arrangements have been made
for feeding and comfort of the prisoners
en- route. The details of the movement
were arranged by Supt. OF Prisons La
Dow and Warden Mckee Of the District
jail The latter is charged by law with
the responsibility Of transferring the pris-
oners.
1t is believed by the Department Of
Justice that the transfer will relieve the
congestion at the jail. Active efforts are
also to be made by District Attorney
Baker for prompt trial Of persons now
awaiting action OF the court.
Will Relieve Conditions.
No additional transfer will be neces-
sary. it is expected. within a time during
which it will be possible to make an adj
dition to the present jail, pending the
adoption of a final and complete plan for
jail facilities for the District. Failing
such relief. however further transfers OF
prisoners may have to be made.
The prisoners who are being sent away
today, and who are all males. will be
transferred back to the District OF CO.
lumbia upon expiration of terms Of i'm
prisonment
ARRANGEMENTS were made to transport
1873 persons-prisoners and guards-from
here to the Arkansas prison. The trip is
usually made In about thirty-seven hours.
The special will probably take a much
longer time to cover the distance.

SAYS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LABOR
Factory Inspector Says That
SOuthernerS Do Not Appre.
Cidte Value OF Education.
NEGRO CHILDREN
NOT IN FACTORIES

Richmond, Va, May 1.-THE gem
eral conference of Charities and Cor
rections in session here yesterday took
up for discussion the subject of child
labor, and the principal address was
made by Miss Jean Gordon, factory
inspector of New Orleans, who cnarg-
cd the public schools with causing
child labor.
IAN alarming number of our chill
dren," said Miss Gordon, ARE defect
i've in sight or hearing, or, what Is
more pIovssfent, saffer from the de-
bilitating effect of adenoid growths.
which sap the strength and ability of
the children to a great degree. Such
children soon become discouraged and
wish to leave school. and frequently
the average teacher encourages them
to do so. as they constitute a drag on
the progress of the class as a whole
when they are present"
Miss Gordon feels that the people
of the south do not have a true ap-
probation of the value of education.
priations of public funds for the
schools.
You tell me the south is too poor
to educate her children, then / tell
you the south is too poor not to edu-
cate them. If we are poor, 1t is be-
cause we have been ignorant Ignor-
ance always means suspicion and su-
perstition and lack of opportunity. II
was ignorance of the value of our
great forests, OF our great mines, of
the possibilities in the franchises we
sold To northern capital, that made
Us let these resources of great wealth
slip from us, and so left us poor. The
sooner we get some education among
our people, and learn to appreciate
the value of what is left US, the bet
ter. The south must have compul-
sorry industrial education, and we
must have it right away. We can take,
and are taking the children from the
mills but the south must supply some
place for these children to go, 1t must
supply enough interesting schools to
keep the children cOntented.
Another force taking the children
into the mills in the south is the in
stallment system. Many a child Is
working to pay the weekly installment
OF TWO uOlldTS On lHS pldHo, OF the
fifty cents on the green plush album.
No one approves more than of
sweet homes, and the refining influ-
ence OF music, but it is paying a high
rate for these little elegancies when
the future of child is put up against
the green plush album"
Miss Gordon said that in her exper-
ience as a factory inspector, she has
never found a Jew or a negro child
in mill, factory or department store
in Louisiana. They are at school be-
ing well nourished, playing out in the
glorious southern sunlight waxing
strong and fat. at is only your little,
white-faced, shrunken chested. curv-
ed back, white Christians said Miss
Gordon, who are in the mills and de-
partment stores OF New Orleans. So
that the argument against compulsory
so often offered, that it will
be a political menace to educate the
negro child Is not we'll founded"

Chicago, May 1.-THE Socialist ma
tional convention began its sessions
today with every indication of a storm
which may eliminate any moment in
a definite and decisive lineup be-
tween City Socialists in one camp and
the Farmer" Socialists in the other.
The fight for presidential nomination
between Eugene " Debs and William
D. Haywood is bitter. Debs' friends
are credited with attempting to Sc
cure the adoption of a two-thirds rule
in order to defeat Haywood, though
apparently he could never secure a
two-thirds vote for himself.
