DISCUSSES AN OLD PROBLEM
BY GRIFFITH j. GRIFFITH

In the San Jose Mercury of May 1
appeared leading article entitled
Solving the Prison Problem" in which
the question of providing employment
for convicts received somewhat ex
haustive treatment. With many of its
conclusions 1 agree, but various points
are raised on which there is still much
difference of opinion, and these deserve,
as it seems to me, careful consideration.
Dealing mainly with the question of
providing work for convicts, the arti-
Gle referred to admits that cogent ar
guments have been advanced against
every plan introduced, the greatest
difficulty arising over the competition
of convict and free labor. 1t then ex-
presses the opinion that it does not
seem advisable at present to convert our
prisons into trade or technical schools,
inasmuch as there is much trough"
work, such as the construction of roads
and the dredging Of river channels, in
which prison labor can be usefully en-
ployed
Curiously enough, had just finished
reading that opinion when there came
to me a letter written by the Trades
Council of Butte, Mont, asking the as
sistance of the Prison Reform league in
a fight on behalf of free as against
convict labor. The councils complaint
is that the state is proposing to con-
struct a road more than 500 miles in
length from the eastern to the western
state boundary. There is talk of en-
ploying convict labor on this work, and

Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-14

organized labor is preparing to enter
strenuous objection.
The argument in the letter is that if
convict labor is allowed on the state
road it will be used next on the county
roads and that after that it will get
entrance to the beet fields. Here, then.
we find organized labor in Montana
protesting against the very kind of
employment that the Mercury consid-
ers eminently suitable for convicts.
What is to be done?
ENFORCED IDLENEsS CRUEL
The Prison Reform league has writ
ten the council that, however great the
difficulties may be- lit must be recog-
nized that the tendency is toward do
ing away with that enforced idleness
which is the most cruel fate you can
impose on the convict. Furthermore.
the tendency is toward teaching the
convict a useful occupation by which
he will be able to earn his living when
released from prison. That appeals to
common sense as necessary, and is
therefore certain to be the development
of the immediate future.
"Organized labor cannot combat these
tendencies successfully, and should not
try to. In fact. it is called on to in
terest itself actively in the prison ques-
tion, as essential to its own existence,
since the vast majority of convicts
come from the ranks of labor-from the
very poor. These men are entitled to
full consideration If the solidarity of
labor is to be more than a high-sound-
ing and empty phrase"
It may be useful if / give one or two
illustrations of the tendencies in ques-
ton as they now are manifesting them
selves. Let me take San Quentin as
nv first illustration. Less than two
years ago Messrs. Hopper and Bechdolt
wrote a book entitled mo. 9009." 1t
dealt, admittedly, with San Quentin,
and produced a profound sensation by
reason of it's graphic portrayal OF the
horrors through which it carried the
reader. It was run originally in the col
umns of the Saturday Evening Post,
and now-May 7, 1910-appears a long
article by Mr.. Bechdolt in the same pa
per werein he describes in glowing
terms the reforms wrought there by the
present warden, John e. Hoyle. l
quote:
COURSES IN CORRESPONDENCE
Courses in correspondence occupy
quite a number of these convicts now
when they are done with tasks. 1t is
an innovation here. Since Hoyle al
lowed it many have availed themselves
of the chance. Several are studying the
laws whose breaking brought them 10
the place, with the view of practlclng
their profession at some future day.
Others-the majority of the students
go in for trades. There are many other

HEREDITARY SUICIDE IS
DEFENSE OF FIGUEROA
viii Face Trial in the Angel City
on Charge of Wife Muir
der July 18

That his wife committed suicide be-
cause Of hereditary influences will be
the defense of George e. Figueroa,
charged with the murder Of Sarah NJ.
Figueroa, when the cose comes to trial
in Judge Willis court on July Is.
Attorney Joe Seymour, who is rep
resenting the defendant, declares that
he has evidence to show that the girl
committed suicide, his information hav-
ing been secured upon the holding of a
second autopsy on the body of the girl,
with the permission of the court.
His contention is that the father of
the girl committed suicide three months
previous to her death, and that he did
so without apparent reason for such an
act. The attorneys contention is that
the act of her father preyed on the
girls mind and finally suggested a
similar act.
The second autopsy held is alleged to
have shown that the girls hair was
burned by the powder of the pistol,
which was the same weapon used by
the father to kill himself. Powder
marks were also found on the girls
face, as though the weapon had been
held close to her temple.
1t is held by the defense that in view
of the fact that the room in which the
girl was found was only eight feet
square, the finding Of the pistol some
distance away from the body has no
bearing on the act as being a theory of
suicide.
The defense will also attempt to show
that there was no difficulty between
the pair and that they were on good
terms.

Detectives Think Jerome Hite Is
Hiding in Bakersfield

WOUNDED WOMAN IMPROVING
Jealous Husband Uses RuSe TO
Gain Chance to Kill His
Young Spouse
WOUNDED WOMAN IMPROVING

A systematic search was begun yes
terday by the detectives for Jerome L.;
Hite, bookkeeper, formerly employed
by the Woodburn Motor company, VINO
shot and seriously injured his wire
Mrs. Anna Hite, yesterday morning III
the rooming house of Mrs. Florence
CLANCY, 80 Clay street.
Hite having said Friday morning
that he was going to Bakersfield and
a list of business firms in the oil dis
trict having been found in his room,
the detectives believe that if he is not
in Los Angeles he has gone to the oil
fields. They have notified the officials
of Bakersfield and other oil towns to
keep a sharp lookout for Hite.
Mrs. CLANCY said yesterday that
trouble had arisen between Hite and
his wife because of jealousy on Hite.s
part. Mrs. CLANCY declared that II
was her belief that any Jealousy was
thoroughly unfounded because Mrs.
Hite always seemed unusually aftec--
tionate toward her husband and paid
little attention to other men.
Friday night about l o'clock Hite
went to the room of Mrs. CLANCY, with
whom Mrs. Hite was staying because
of fear of her husband, and asked his
wife to go with him. She said that
she would do so if he would give Mrs.
CLANCY the gun that he had. He went
for the revolver and when he returned
Mrs. Hite thrust her arm out of the
partly opened door to receive 1t. Hite
forced an entrance and without saying
anything shot his wife.
The bullet passed through Mrs.
Hite's right arm near the shoulder and
entered her neck. AT first, because OF
the two wounds, it was supposed that
she had been shot twice.
Hite fled Immediately after shooting
his wife and no one has been found
who saw him after he left the rooming
house. Mrs. Hite is in Clara Barton
hospital and it was stated last night
that she was improving.

ESPERANTO CONGRESS TO
MEET IN WASHINGTON

Early in August delegates from Es-
peranto societies from all over the
civilized world will meet in Washing
ton to attend the sixth annual Esper-
anto congress. For one week Esperan-
lists of fifty different natiOnalities will
carry on in the international auxiliary
language all their official business of
the congress, proving for the sixth time
the simplicity and practicability of the
idiom which they are striving to in
troduce.
In the United States Esperanto was
almost unheard of before 1905, but
there are now few villages without
their quota of Esperantists, and the
number of their societies and groups
is rapidly increasing. The state Of
Maryland recently officially recognized
Esperanto by passing a law providing
for the instruction Of the language in
all its public schools, and it is expected
that other states will soon follow this
example. The movement is here repre-.
resented by the Esperanto Society of
Los Angeles which meets weekly.
