STRANGE DISEASE AMONG
TREES DESTROYS FORESTS
Parasites Fin Brooklyn Devastate Six
teen Thousand Chestnuts and
Battle Scientists

NEW YORK, May IA strange
disease has broken out among the
trees of the east. Whole forests have
been devastated. More than 2O,00O
trees in Forest park, Brooklyn, have
been destroyed since the opening OF
spring by peculiar parasite,
OF these 10000 were chestnut trees.
The Brooklyn park commission is us
ing thousands of gallons of germicide
in the hope of preventing the spread
of the disease.
The attention of the agricultural de
partment at Washington was called
to this parasite last fall, when 1t had
gained only a slight foothold in this
country. The department assigned
number of experts to the matter and
they discovered the parasite had been
imported, probably from France, and
that in young trees and shrubs it had
been disseminated throughout large
portion of the United States.
Many thousands of dollars was spent
by the department in cautioning for
esters, farmers and others throughout
the east. the middle west, the south
and i'm advising remedies to be en-
ployed SO far New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania have been the prin-
cipal sufferers, but reports from In
diana, Ohio, Illinois and the trans

there and that heroic measures must
be employed to save the trees from this

the last two years. They are said to have
discontinued the straitJacket, although oth-
er barbarous forms OF punishment are stlll
in vogue. An act is now in force whlch
carries with 1t an annual appropriation OF
$4,000 for the purpose of seeing that work
shall be provided for discharged convicts'
and If this is honestly administered much
good will result. Recidivists, with certain
exceptions are now entitled to parole. But
at every step we have had to fight the old
prison board methods, the authorities and
politicians.
When we pointed out that California
headed all other states in percentage of
crime to population they retorted that this
was due to "our cosmopolitan population
But this is a feature common to the entire
west, and lit is one we certainly share with
Illinois, which has only one commitment
to our six 1t became necessary for us to
show that the state prison board was
itself an habitual and most fragrant law
breaker, and to demonstrate that whereas
Illinois granted on an average 1000 paroles
a year. for the last fourteen years our own
prison board had granted only thirteen an
nually. Then a complete change of front
was made, and more than 200 paroles were
granted annually. If so many were sud
denly found entitled to the privilege, what
injustice must have been done in the pre-
ceding fourteen yearSi

peaeneracY Is Rampant

There remains one other feature of prison
life on which I desire to touch-that OF the
sexual degeneracy which is always ram
pant This Is a matter that means the
ruin of the nation and the home, and that
must be taken up by women, for there is
no mother who has a certain guarantee
that. through some slip, her boy, the idol
OF her heart, may not find his way into
not only morally but physically by the
communication of venereal diseases, of
which a large percentage of the convicts are
always victims / have the assurance Of
the authorities that when the 1000 cells that
are now being built at San Quentin and
Folsom are completed segregation will be
effected. but hitherto there has been the most
disgraceful overcrowding, as many as 1870
being housed in one room at San Quentin.
1t might be thought that there would be
safety in numbers, but this is not the case,
as the most depraved able to group
themselves, and in such rooms things are
done"
That Son of God nor son Of man
Ever should look upon"
Every effort is put forth by the authorities
to conceal these conditions, and | notice
that recently an official report by Miss Kate
Barnard, state commissioner of charities
and corrections in Oklahoma, on conditions
from the mails as being obscene.

capItaI punishment Considered

1t has been urged by certain friends Of
the Prison Reform league that 1t should
have excluded from its demands that for
the abolition of capital punishment. They
argue that while there is absolute unani-
nifty the necessity of prison reform in
general there is a difference of opinion
as to capital punishment, many believing
that the murderer should be murdered,
This matter we considered carefully.
The bottom question is whether society
should be governed solely by the desire to
protect itself, as humanely and at as small
a cost as possible, or whether it should aim
at vindictive revenge. We believe the
former is the correct principle, and the only
one that can stand criticism and show
satisfactory results. on the other hand we
hold that the principle of revenge is con-
demned alike by ethics and results. Here
as elsewhere it seems to us that he who
takes up the sword ultimately will perish
by the sword, and that a society which
acts from revenge will itself have ven
geance worked on it.
Obviously the most extreWe instance of
revenge as the actuating motive is af-
forded when the state, in coolest blood
itself turns murderer, and l can only re-
peat here what have said recently;
While l was in San Quentin half dozen
executions took place With some forty
others / was locked in the laundry all con-
victs being on such occasions shut up in
their cells or in the various workshops
The thud of the falling body was in each
case distinctly audible, EARRING the entire
building. There is a silence that is far
more eloquent than any speech. and in the
long hush that preceded the actual deed the
thought that was busy in the minds of my
fellow prisoners was to be read easily on
their faces.

Paroles Are Limited

Paroles are still hedged round with re-
strictions that render them accessible only
to the man of some money, and the old
absurdity of the length of sentences being
determined by the guess of the Judge is
still the rule.
The indeterminate sentence plan, of which
I am a persistent advocate. would leave
the question of the prisoners restoration
10 liberty to be decided by a board that
would have spread out before 1t the full
record of the mans conduct during his con-
6nement, thus enabling it to decide, with
some chance of the decision being correct,
whether or no the time had arrived when
the convict might be trusted to mingle
again in society.
Such a system, advocated as it is by
leading prison scientists, would make each
prisoner the arbter of his own future;
would inspire him with hope and hold out
to him inducement 10 reform. Unfortu-
nately it has not yet found favor with
the California legislators, and, although my
bill for making San Quentin reformatory
passed the last assembly. it was smothered
in the senate
By way of contrast 1 call attention to
the fact that the board of managers of the
New York reformatory at Elmira reports
that there has not been case of fogging
there for nearly nine years, and that for
the past five years there has been no form
whatever of corporal punishment in use.
The material with which the Elmira re-
formatory has to deal represents the
toughest element from the sums of New
York.

So

n ETAILS of the terrible massacre
of Christians in Asiatic Turkey
u during and preceding the recent
revolution are reaching the outside
world slowly, and they show that the
extent of the horrors has so far been
underestimate. The Rev. stephen r.
Trowbridge, an American missionary
in Adana, in describing the scenes at
tending the sacking of Adana by the
murderous Turks, declares that no few
er than 5000 persons were slain in Ada
ma alone and that fully 10000 were
murdered in the province. He bases
these figures on the lists prepared by
the priests and other officials who issue
burial permits Mr.. Trowbridge places
the responsibility for the wholesale
Los Angeles herald., 1909-05-15

massacres upon the Turkish govern
ment and believes that there was a plot
to kill every one of the $4,000 Christians
in the province of Adana. He asserts
that when prisoners were taken to the
government headquarters in Adana
their captors were asked why they had
not killed the "infidel dogs in the viii
lagos. The summary way in which the
Young Turk army overthrow the rule
of Abdul Hamid leads the world at
large to believe that the massacres
could have been checked much sooner
than they were if the new officials at
Constantinople had taken the proper
steps. The accompanying pictures of
the victorious army entering Constan-
tinople are the first to reach America
since the battle in the Turkish capital.
