mayor of Toledo, o., was dated, Jan

you have told the truth about crime
and criminals, but, of course, you
haven't told all the truth; for we don
always dare to do that. For instance,
[ have known men who were hung up
in the bull ring for thirty days. L

WORLD WAKING TO
PRISON REFORMS.
PAPERS GIVE ATTENTION TO
BOOK BY COL. GRIFFITH
WELL KNOWN LEADERS WRITE
THANKS TO AUTHOR
Brand WhitIock, Judge Lindsey and
other Prominent Men Interested
in Work Started in
Los Angeles

Following Judge John D. Works re-
cent denunciation of conditions in the
Los Angeles city Jail much agitation
has arisen locally in regard to prison
abuses, and the Prison Reform league,
which has headquarters in Los Ange-
les, has received numerous offers of
assistance While officers of the league
do not regard the increased interest
as entirely attributable to Judge
Works address, they have found the
stand taken by the Good Government
leader a decided strengthening of their
forces.
Col Griffith J. Griffith, secretary and
treasurer of the league, which has Of
fees at 443 South Main street, gave out
q statement yesterday in which he
declared the organization has every
prospect of eventually bringing about
a sweeping revolution in prison
methods.
Every mail" said hte colonel,
.'brings me fresh assurance that this
question is obtaining an increasing
hold on public attention. From every
section of the country we are receiv-
ing communications that breathe the
broadest spirit of sympathy, and l am
continually getting letters from such
men as Judge Lindsey, Brand Whit
lock. Charles Edward Russell, Lin
coin Steffens and others whose names
are household words in the world of
letters and reform. These alone would

congratulated upon securing so capable a
leader.
Paul de Longpre has announced an exhibition
of 100 of his latest paintings of flowers from
Southern California, to be held at his home and
studios in Hollywood from February l to
April Is.
An exhibition of recent paintings by Benja-
min Chambers Brown will follow the eXhibi-
tion now on at the Kanst art gallery opening
early in February. Several fine canvases by
Mr.. Brown have been shown at this gallery in
the last few months, and also in the new art
gallery at the Hotel Virginia in Long Beach.
An informal reception and exhibition will be
held at the Batchelder Craft Shop and School
of Design and Handicraft in Pasadena on the
afternoon of Saturday, February s. The home
of this new school Arroyo drive is a most
attractive place and the many things to be
seen there are Of the highest artistic order.

CONFEDERATE SOLDIER
ACCUSES D. M. GREEN
Veteran of Civil War Says He At
tackled Man Who Caused Him
to Lose $500

Among those who appeared at the
central police station yesterday to
complain against the operations of d.
M. Green, who is at liberty under
bonds to answer charges of fraudulent
real estate transactions, was H. b.
Gerhardt, a former Confederate SOL
der, of 129 North Griffin avenue, who
told Deputy District Attorney Arthur
Veftch that he would appear in court
and testify against Green if the testi-
mony could be used.
According to Gerhardts story, he
became entangled in one of Green s
deals and was defrauded out of $500.
This so angered Gerhardt that, so he
SAYS. he attacked Green with a knife
and caused the latter to remain in a
hospital for several weeks as a result.
When Green came out of the hospital
he sought Gerhardt, SO the latter
states, and settled the loss to the old
soldier.

subscription Saturday-and these are
from religious organs, which have
been most persistent in their appli-
cations for review copies. We have
had especially kind letters from Chi
cago editors, perhaps owing to the
fact that the league has maintained a
branch office there
Judge Lindsey Writes
"This is one 1 specially appreciate"
he continued, for it came to me this
morning from Judge Lindsey of Den
yer. 1t is from the Denver News, and
is given the place Of honor on the
editorial page. The review opens with
the statement that we have written a
remarkable book, and adds this COM
ment: Too often the advocates of
prison reform imagine that their cause
can be helped by rhetoric and eXagger-
alton. The writer's of this little book
know better. They simply present the
facts. They show the conditions pre-
Vailing in the most backward parts
of the country. They prove up to the
hilt that the brutal treatment of Grim
inals does not lessen crime. but, on the
contrary, increase crime. They present
figures showing that, under the old
and barbarous system of treating
criminal as a wild beast, more than
20 per cent of the discharged offenders
find their way back to prison. In the
same state, under more generous pa
role system, less than p per cent of
released prisoners come back to the
penitentiary.'
As the review was a long one, only
enough was read to prove that the
review was highly laudatory, and it
ended by congratulating the league
on the sober earneStness" of its book
"a phrase that seemed to take the
readers fancy.
Eastern Magazines Aroused
Current Literature" he FASTENED to
add, "has promised us a three-page
notice in its February issue, and, as
we have had no influence with these
large eastern publications. l cannot
but think that we have produced
book that is worth, at least some at
tention. Anyhow, we are working tooth
and nail to get rid of our first edition
of 5000. hoping to bring out another
with the Improvements that always
suggest themselves after the first pub
lication. Perhaps we may be able then
to put one on the market even below
the dollar price, but the cost OF paper
and other materials is very heavy at
present"
The interviewer came away with
lively conviction that the Prison Re
form league was not showing any in
tention of relaxing its efforts, and that
it has put Los Angeles to the front
in another movement that may grow
to far larger proportions than the un-
reflective may suppose. Indeed, Colonel
Griffith laid much stress on the fact
that the league never allowed day
to pass without stirring the subject in
some state or other, and he called at
tention to the increased notice given
to the subject both by the press and
on the stage. recent sketch at the
Orpheum, and the staging of Men
and Women" at the Burbank last week
appeared to have given him special en-
couragement.
