GRlFF GRIFFITHS AS REfoRMER
Urges That the Discipline Now
Enforced In 'Penitentaries
Should Be Changed

Millionaire Griffith J. Grifitbs. who
will be remembered by old-time Eure-
kans as superintendent of the Wales
Consolidated Company's property on
Ruby Hill, and who left here about %
years ago, is now taking a leading part
in an effort to reform the cruel disci-
pline in force in the average peniten-
tiary.
Mr.. Grifiths speaks from experiences.
having but recently completed a two.
year term in the San Quentin. Cali.
fornia. penitentiary for shooting and
seriously ~wounding his wife.
He made a string appeal for a more
human treatment of criminals in per-
sons in q lecture delivered at Calvary
Presbyterian Church in San Francisco.
Sunday, January 20. Among his list
eners were IS ex-convicts. The follow
ing extracts from his discourse cover the
poincipal points made in his argument
on p~enitentiary discipline reform:
From personal experience and know
ledge" said Mr.. Grifiths. ! am forced
to the conclusion that the discipline Of
the average prison hardens. degrades
and is a perpetual exhibition Of cruel.
arbitrary power. In many Of the pen.
itentiaries there are instruments OF tor.
ture ann now and then a convict 10 Grip
pied for life or murdered.
Inspections and Investigations go for
naught because the testimony of a con-
vict goes unbelieved. He is generally
prevented by his fear from telling his
wrongs, for if he speaks he is not be-
lieved-he is regarded as less than a
human being. and so the imprisoned
suffer and remain without remedy"
The speaker then described at some
length the laws in force at the Elmira
Reformatory in New York, which have
been adopted in several States for the
reformatories within their bounds. He
declared that the bedrock Of this new
pathological system was the incontro.
vertible fact that the violator of law can
be reformed. aud that the most effective
way to protect society Is to reform the
criminal. Reformation and not retri.
button, therefore. should be the chief
end Of punishment.
Mr.. Grfiths then went into the Ell.
mira system at some length. drawing
many good examples to be followed by
California which he claims Is far be.
hind other States In modern prison
methods. After quoting several in
stances Of gross cruelty practiced on
prisoners to his personal knowledge. the
speaker recommended that the State
prisons in general be turned into mod.
ern reformatories,

the loss of the money that he could
give only q hazy account Of himself or
how or where he was robbed. The
women admit that Donahan was in the
house during the night but deny that
he lost the money while in their COM

LATEST RUSH Is TO RAwHIDE



Rawhide, the latest new mining dis.

in the western part Of the State, has
become more famous since its discovery
Of a few mouths ago than any other
camp outside Of Goldfeld has In al
many years. One can scarcely pick ur
a newspaper published in Nevada that
does not contain glowing accounts Of
the extent aud richness of its mineral
deposits.
Sam G. Dundam, editor Of the Tor o.
pah Miner, who has just returned from
the new camp. writing of conditions
there, says:
There seems to be everything in Raw.

the neighborhood Of 5000 people-toe

perhaps. who want to work leases; but
the good leases are scarce at the present

for it. Still the camp goes on growing,
and the rrice Of real estate and mining
properties soar to high levels. Most Of
the money that is to be seen In the
camp is brought in by the transients.
