the history Of the State of New York
have there been SO many criminals
behind prison bars as there are at
present. The State prisons are over
crowded. the penitentiaries filled to
overlooking and the warehouses so
congested that the inmates are In
each others way.
Prison officials and criminologists
assign two reasons for the crowded
condition Of the penal Institutions
the hard times prevalent for the last
two years and the influx Of undesira-
BILE aliens to the big cities of the
State. Unable to obtain work these
men drift to crime and eventually
land in prison.
Sing Sing Overcrowded.
There are more than 1000 convicts
in Sing Sing Prison, originally built
to house but 1900; the prisoners are
doubled up in cells. lodged in out
houses and the chapels and some are
said to sleep in the main office Of the
prison. In order to accommodate
the horde Of convicted men recently
sent from this city-and they have
been going in weekly patches Of a
score or more---Warden Frost has
been compelled to place cots in the
ana
Catholic chapels.
A batch of sixty-fve was trans
ferred to Clinton Prison against the
protest Of the officials of that institu-
tion. who say they have no room to
spare. Numbers Of Sing Sing con-
Victs-shoTt term men-in order to
make room for the new arrivals, are
sent daily to the site of the new
prison now being constructed on the
west bank OF the Hudson, near Iona
Island, and kept there in shacks un-
der the watch of keepers. These men
are employed in the building of the
new structure
The same condition is reported by
the warden Of the penitentiary on
Blackwelfs Island. The census there
recently showed 1119 men and eigh-
ty-three women in cells. This Is far
above the average census, and the
rate at which the courts are sending
prisoners there has alarmed the peni-
tentiary officials. They are in a
quandary where to conine the prison.
ers. AS In Sing Sing, the problem of
employing all the convicts is puzzling
the officials Of the penitentiary, and
steps are being taken to put a number
or them at work erecting new build

the city and used for city purposes.
Reports from the Elmira Reforma-
tory state that that institution is

crowding.
Most Of the Elmira recruits come

daily the number Of youths committed
to the reformatory weekly fror, this

MUCH CONFUSION
During the Week in the
Prices Of Securities.
Crops Report None Too En-
couraging in It's Details.
Coming HaIf-yearIy Settlements
Cause Increase Interest Rates.

New York, June ia good deal of
confusion marked the price movement
of securities last week and this gave
rise to or was the index of uncertainty
in the opinion on the speculative out
look neld by the operators in the stock
market Continued control was assert
ed by powerful speculative forces by
the vigorous marking up in the prices
of stocks here and there of q class cal
culated to exercise strong influences
on sentiment. At the same time adVan-
tage was taken on favorable develop
ments in equally influential stocks to
push them for sale, even at the expense
of inrOadS on the prices established.
Reasons We're sought in the course of
events for this mixed appearance of
the .SDCculatiOn and some of the week S
developments We're held to be sufii-
GENTLY dubious in their application to
account for the hesitation in the action
of the stock market although conf
dence in the progress of Improvement
in business and industry was unim

The government report on the June
first condition of the grain crops re-
reivcd close attention from financial
observation but it failed to offer the
full encouragement hoped for as to the
promise of the harvest The decline in
condition of winter wheat during May
was a disappointment. An abundance
of the spring wheat crop is much relied
on to keep up the tone of the business

Washington June l3.-The feeling in all
factions in the Senate is that the tariff
bill is approaching the last days of its
consideration in the Senate. Senator Al
drich is hopeful that the end may be
reached by next Saturday, and many of
the conservative Republicans as well as
many of the Democrats are inclined to
agree with this prediction The Progress
sve Republicans are not quite so opti-
miStic, but Senator Reveridge is of the
opinion that the final vote will not be
postponed beyond the end of next week.
The income tax amendments to the
bill will IL taken up for consideration
