DISTRICT PRISON CONDITIONS
CRITICISM TO FORM PART OF
WICKERSHAM'S REPORT.
ClaSsede as "Worst in the United
States''-Prisoners Crowded
Like Sardines.

Attorney General Wickerslam viii! score
prison conditions in the District Of CO.
iunlbia in his annual report to Congress.
He will describe them as the worst
in the United States" Mr.. Wickersham
knows whereof lie speaks. for three
months ago, unknown to most of the
officials of the District. he spent several
hours going through the District Jail.
Since then he has inspected other IN
stitutions in the District. including the
National Training School for Boys.
Mr.. Wickersham has just returned from
Atlanta. where he carefully inspected the
federal prison there. He expressed sat
isfaction with affairs there, and in speak
ing generally Of prisons in the country
said: Conditions are worse in Wash
ington than anywhere in the United
States
Mr.. Wickersham takes deeper interest
in prison matters than any Attorney
General in years. He was as
tonished to find that the District Jail
has been allowed to go for so long a
period without betterment by Congress.
There he found prisoners crowded into
cells like sardines, and saw the difficulty
of keeping conditions sanitary. He does
not blame the local officials, it is under
stood, but feels that Congress should
provide a Jail or penitentiary that will
have sufficient capacity for handling local
prisoners in sanitary, healthful manner.

NEW SPANISH POLICY.
Against the Moors Will
Not Be Pushed

MADRID. October 25.-Lieut Gen. de
Luque. minister of war in the new lib
eral cabinet. in an interview confirmed
the report that the government had de-
cided not to push further the Moroccan
campaign. He said that if the liberals
had been in power before they would
have avoided the bloody and costly war
and that henceforth the object of the
government would be to guarantee the
safety of Melilla by the system of forti-
fled positions which We're already occu-
pied.
From now on, the minister of war said
the work of the army would be that of
pacifcation. and not of domination and
while it would defend these occupied DO
sitions. effort will be made To in
duce the Ritfians To disarm. and in this
movement the aid OF the sultan's ennis
saries would be enlisted.
De Luque added that though the lib
erals disapproved the recent acts of re-
preston at Barcelona, Ferrer had been
proven guilty on evidence and had been
legally and judlcially condemned.
The republicans won at yesterdays mu-
nicipal elections in Madrid.

Was due to his own thickness.
Diaz challenged Bringas to a duel i'll
Eastman Park, and the affair came off
last night. 1t was not strictly according
TO the rules and provisions provided by
the gentleman's code, for when the two
reached the park Diaz pulled gun.
whereas the agreement was that the two
were to fight with their fists. Brngas
made an effort to get 1t away from him,
when Diaz fired the revolver twice. the
first bullet striking Bringas in the foot,

UNSAFE TO SAIL FREAK YACHTS
Can't Gross Ocean in the Kind Neces-

NEW YORK. October 25.-''I have
come over this time redhot for another
challenge to the New York Yacht Club,
and Will do my best to arrange matters
with the club SO that / can have an
other chance to lift the Americas cup
So spoke Sir Thomas Upton today on
his arrival here from Europe. He will
be in New York several days.
II do not care to talk more definite
ly, Sir Thomas said, until I have seen
the yacht club committee, who will have
this matter in charge
II is believed that Sir Thomas has
brought with him challenge condi-
toned upon modification of the rules
governing contests for the America s
cup. Sir Thomas desires the club to
change the present rule so that he can
bring over a Shamrock " built under
rules which will permit the construG-
tion of a substantial racing craft
The present rule governing the Amer
ica'S cup races provides for a given
waterline length. and under this condi-
tion fragile racing machines, were de-
velOped. Sir Thomas expects to meet
members of the New York Yacht Club
within a day or so.
Wants Only Equal Chance.
Sir InOmaS later .COnSeilteu W ldih
about what he would like to see done
In order to give challengers what he con-
sidered an equal chance with. American
yachts in cup races.
''I have been defeated three times in
American waters said Sir Thomas, land
/ will say very frankly that on each
occasion the best boat has won. This
much. however, let me say:
Every time 1 have challenged the
racing rules have been so changed that
each new race has required that l build
a bigger freak than the last one. Five
times the rules have been changed
Bringing over the freak which it is
necessary to build under the present
rules means grave danger to the yacht
and to the men aboard her. / have lost
two men already in coming across the
Atlantic.
Useless Under Present Rules.
The present rules We're made for the
Americas s cup races only Just as long
as these rules continue in force the
thickest kind of a wall can be built
around the Americas cup, and prevent
the cup from being taken away from
this country.
What I desire is to race under the
universal rule. If l can't win under that
rule l can at least provide good sport.
