From The Daily Item. Sept. 90.
The Broadway case Is not ended
The Police Committee has not declin-
ed to make an investigation of the
charges against Officers Ward and
Pierson. who are accused of brutally
and unnecessarily clubbing ]. r.
Broadway. who had been arrested for
public drunkenness and cursing, and
was being taken to the guard house.
On the contrary. Chairman Ligon, Of
the Police Committee. states that the
charges will be fully and impartially
investigated by his committee. What
the committee refused to do was to
make the investigation in the manner
and on the terms prescribed by the
complainant. j. r. Broadway and his
attorney. c. l.. Cuttino, Esq. With the
request for an investigation was a de-
mand that officers Ward and Pierson
be dismissed from the police force and
that the city refund to Broadway all
expenses to which he had been put
In consequence of his arrest, viz: SIS,
the amount he was required to pay as
a fine by the Recorder and SIS which
he had to pay Mr.. Cuttino, his attor-
ney, for representing him at the trial
In the Recorders Court.
Mr.. Ligon says that he could not
and would not agree to dismiss the
officers against whom charges were
filed as a condition precedent to the
investigation. for ne did not and
could not know what facts the in
vestigation would develop until it had
been made. He. as chairman of the
committee. refused to make the sort
of investigation which Mr.. Broad
way demanded as the only thing that
would satisfy him. and in doing so
feels that he acted for the best inter-
ests of the city.
The case took another turn today,
a warrant having been issued by
Magistrate Hardy for the arrest of
Officers Ward and Pierson on the
charge of assault and battery of a
high and aggravated nature. The
case will probably go to the Court of
General Sessions and will be fully
aired.
Officers Ward and Pierson were ar
rested shortly after the warrants were
Issued and taken before Magistrate
Hardy. where they gave bond In the
sum of 5000 'each and were released.
No time has been set for the pre-
liminary. but 1t will be held in the
near future. L. d. Jennings. Esq,

Washington, Sept. 15.-Conditions
at the Western penitentiary Of Penn
sylvanis. at Allleghany have been
found 80 distressing and so intoler-
able as to require the immediate re-

transfer is practicable and to demand
the most serious consideration of the

son of the department Of prisons and,
prisoners to the attorney general.
AT the direction of the attorney
general, Wade Ellis. acting head of
the department of justice, made pub

ton.
THE population on the first Of this
month was 1901" says Mr.. Ellis in
his statement. "Of this number more
than half are at all times idle, and
more than half are confined two in
cell. The cells are unusually small
and the cots take almost the entire
length Of each, the room for moving
about being a space eight feet long
and Is inches wide. There are more
than SEQ prisoners suffering from tu-
berculosis. and 70 cells are now oc-
'upied by those showing advanced
stages Of this disease. The prison is
filled with vermin of all kinds, al
though the officials are making an ef-
fort to eradicate them. An unusually
large number of prisoners are of the
lowest possible character, mentally
and morally, and there is but one
general mess provided for all. AL
most universal complaint Is made
about the quality Of food served.

nate conditions are known either to
the governor of Pennsylvania or to
other authorities having immediate
control of penal institutions in that
state continued Mr.. Ellis. "There
are II federal prisoners confined at
the Western Pennsylvania peniten-
tiary. All of these who can be imme-
diately transferred except those
whose terms will shortly expire will
will be removed at once to Atlanta or

social conditions in all sections of our
country. and when he went home
wrote a book on America and its pos
sibilities, or its opportunities, which, he
said, were enormous in every line of
industry, on the farm, in the mines, in
the forests, on the plains and in the
shops n factories. Bismarck, the
greatest man of his time, said the ma
ton that had the best system of educa-
ton would be the most prosperous.
and Germany, Japan France had
proved that he was right.
"When our system of education
said the speaker, shall equal that of
Germany and Japan in technical and
practical instruction we may equaI the
fine products of their artisans. But
the fault in our system is that a boy
who has a taste for mechanism is made
to study some branch he does not care
for and will not follow when he quits
the schools. The taste Of a boy should
be developed, and the instructor should
not be like the farmer, who said his
boy must not be taught to play on the
violin because he did not want him to
be a fiddler.
II say to the young men that OPP
portunities are continually knocking at
your gate, and that when you recog-
nize one o should seize it, hold on
to and improve it. Marcus Daily needed
a strip of land near his great mines,
and he offered the German who owned
it $1,000, which was declined, and when
DAILY came again 5000 was the price.
and the last time the German asked
500 0 William A. Clark, a practical
miner, whose only education was got
at a night school, heard DAILY declined
to pay $500 for the tract. Clark
asked the price, when he said $50, 900.
Clark seized the opportunity. paid the
money, I'M when DAILY had to have
the land he paid Clark $150,000 for it.
DAILY had failed to seize the opportus
nifty when he had it. That is the fault
with a great many young men now"

SAYS SYSTEM OF
EDUCATION HERE
HAS MANY FAULTS
Professor James c. Monaghan
Declares Boys Are Not Taught
Along Right Lines.
TALKS TO CATHOLIC
YOUNG MEMS SOCIETY
Asserts That Much School Work
Is Misdirected and Not
Specialized Enough.

More women han men brayed the
rain last night to hear Professor James
G. Monaghan, of New York, lecture in
st. Joseph's Hall at Warren and Hud-
o streets, under the auspices of the
literary committee of the Young Mems
Father Mathew T. A. B. Society of ST.
Joseph's parish, on "America-the
Land of Opportunities" After instru-
mental music by an orchestra the Rev.
ID. Quirk, spiritual director of the So
cfety. introduced Professor Monaghan,
who, he said, had a national reputation
as a lecturer.
The lecturer began by saying that
discomfort exists here and in every
land n has existed since the earliest
ages. In Russia it takes the shane of
tnihilism, which aims to DESTROY society
n the government, and must result
in revolution INT the destruction of
law and all government. The spirit of
discomfort aimed to encourage the pes
sinistic, destroy the optimistic and
teach there are no more opportunities
now, Inc In Russia, with it's autocratic
government, this discomfort developed
into anarchy, which developed into
revolution and assassination. Lincoln,
in 1863, emancipated in our country
1000. 900 slaves, but in 1865 the Their
Car of Russia emancipated $1,000, 900
serfs, and yet the nihilists fired a
bomb under his carriage, blew it into
pieces and assassinated the best of all
Cars.
+ In the United States the spirit of
discomfort was exhibited in the agita-
ton of the labor question, and the eff
forts of the labor union had doubled
the wages of mechanics in twenty to
twenty-five years and shortened the
hours of labor, and now every fair
man was not only pleased to know a
mechanic got IS a day. but many
would like to see the wage $40. This
remark was followed by vigorous APP
plause, and then the lecturer told of a
EARNED man who came here from Ger
0any, studied industrial. economic and
