PRISON CONGRESS
TO CONVENE HERE
Worldwide Penal Organiza-
ton to Be Nations Guest
in 1910.

The International Prison Congress.
an organization as wide in its scope as
the international tuberculosis Con-
gress, which met in Washington last
fall, is coming 70 this city in 1910 Sec
retary Root has asked Congress for
$4,000 to show the European delegates
some OF the best things achieved IN the
United States I'm improved methods in
dealing with crime.
The hospitality of the Government
will be greatly REINFORCED by that Of
the American Prison Association, which
will merge its meeting with that Of the
congress. 1t has appointed a commit
tee, Of which Prof. Charles z. Hender-
son. OF the University OF Chicago is
chairman, to cooperate with the Gov
ernnent.
Sessions Abroad.
Although the congress is the child Of
the United States, it having been con-
ceived by the Government in President
Grants time. its seven quinq
sessions have been held in different EU-
ropean ca5itals. It is now the idea Of
Secretary Root 70 secure the co-opera-
ton Of the Central and South American
republics in increasing the scope Of
the congress.
Under the plans made for the con-
gress by the secretary and the Ameri-
can commissioner. the sessions will be
spent in ways which will give European
representatives some idea Of the best
things achieved in the United States
within the scope Of the congress.
Nearly forty years ago the United
States fathered the Prison Congress In
1871 Congress passed a resolution au-
thorizing the President to send abroad
a commissioner to secure the cO-Opera-
ton OF the European governments In
holding a great international congress
for the discussion Of all matters re-
latfne TO the prevention and treatment
of crime.
London Gets First.
President Grant appointed for the
task the late DR.. r. c. Wines, the noted
penoIogist. DR.. Wines was signally
successful and the first congress was
held In London. The work Of DR..
Wines in organizing the congress was
recognized and he was made its first
president.
In 1905. upon the recommendation of
the late Secretary Of state John Hay.
the president was authorized ard re-
nuested to invite the international con-
gress to WaShingtOE for its next session.
This invitation was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the congress then holding its
session in Budapest
A feature Of the coming meeting will
be the attention devoted to preventive
and child-saving agencies.
