The stripes uniform worn by all the
male convicts of the Missouri Peni'
tentiary for the last seventyfiye
years was abolished by an order OF
the Board of Prison Inspectors to-
day. In the future this garb of a
convicted felon will be worn only by
such convicts as break the rules Of
the prison,
1t is well known that every con-
vict loathes stripes, and the prison OF
ficers think If they are given ordi
nary clothing they vail be careful te
avoid doing anything that would forc'
them to wear the detested clothing
The law itself does not specify whai
kind of clothing conyicts shall wear
Women conviets never wear striped
clothing. Ever since the prison wa;
established the male prisoners were
ompeled to don stripes upon their re
ceipt at the Penitentiary. The Gus
tom Is an exceedingly old one, bu
of late years has been abandoned o.
greatly modified by some of the bes
managed prisons In the country.
Several days must elapse before ;
complete change can be made, al
there are approximately 2,240 mali
convicts in the Penitentiary at thl
time.
