New Prison Projected.

In 1907 a commission was appoint.
ed to relieve the congestion in Sing
Sing prison. II recommended Bear
Mountain as a site for a new prison,
and work was commenced. II went
on for two years. and then J. Pier
pont Morgan, Mrs. Edward II. Harri-
man. the Rockefellers, and other rich
people got together, bought up the
surrounding land, and presented e, to
the state as a park, with the proviso
that no part of the ground should be
used for prison purposes,
The state accepted the gift, with the
conditions. and that put to naught all
that had been done in the meantime
in the way of relieving the Sing Sing
congestion and made it necessary to
begin all over again.
This escape of Green's was more or
less Of novelty. The usual course
has been to make rush. But Green,
in the most leisurely manenr In the
world, attacked the two keepers in
charge of the dormitory. laid them out,
then took out saw which he had Sc
cured somewhere, sawed at a window
for 90 minutes. invited his fellow-con'
victs to Join him, was reinforced by
four OF them. dropped out OF the win
dow, and disappeared.

Few Get Away.

Warden Frost said to a Times re-
porter that in his incumbency there
had been six deliveries at Sing Sing,
and i'm Ave cases out of the six the
convicts were caught before they were
out OF the prison preclncts-that was
a case In which four men made rush.
In another case, in which two men
rushed the guards while they we're at
work In the kitchen. the men were
caught before they had been gone
three hours.
The historic instance of an escape
from Sing Sing was in 1898, when
Roehl and Pallister escaped II was
an unfortunate escape for them. for
a few days later one of them shot the
other in quarrel and then commit
ted suicide. But In the meanwhile
they had bafied all the efforts OF the
state to recapture them.
Pallister and Roehl lay In walt for
Hulses partner, John w. Murphy, let
him into the death house. and shut on
him the heavy, ironbound oak door
that shuts the corridor from sound
and sight. Then they pinioned and
disarmed him and thrust him into
Roehrs cell and locked him in.

q short time ago.
When the delivery is described as

other men simply accepted his invita-

prison official said to a New York
Times reporter:
well, the Brooklyn bridge was
opened in 1888, wasn't It? And after
that the transit conditions in New
York had to get to the point Of unen-
durability before another bridge was
opened. didn't they? And your Sub
way was opened only when the ele-
waited railroads were absolutely un-
able to carry the passengers, wasn't
it? And your subsequent subway and
other transit improvements have come
only when the patience of the public
was taxed to the last notch, haven't
they?
THAT'S the answer. You can't get
a reform in New York state until con-
ditions have become positively un-
tearable. It's no use to point out the
advisabillty of a reform; you've got
to prove that not wheel cen be turn
