COLONY FOR INEBR1ATES.
Sensible Plan for Dealing With Reg
ular Founders.

From the New York Times.
Superfiuous officials and methods OF
procedure which are valueless but ex-
pensive are just now being subjected TO
scrutiny. We make bold to call attention.
therefore, to the expensive but useless
methods employed by this city in dealing
with persons arrested for public intoxi-
cation or inebriety. Some %, 138 such
cases went through the courts in Man
haitian and the Bronx in 1908, and 14,T1
in other boroughs. 1t was q futile proc
ess, for most Of the cases were OF alco-
holic FOUNDERS" or "repeaters,' not to
be reformed by it, and the rest should
have been disposed of in some less pub
lie way.
The State Charities Aid Association has
prepared a bill, introduced recently by
Senator Grady, which proposes TO relieve
the courts OF much Of this useless work
1t follows the plan which has been pfac-
ticed In Massachusetts since 19O5-of re-
leasing first offenders directly from the
station house after their previous RECORD

This provision has worked well In MAS
sachusetts. In Boston 40 per cent, In
Worcester 48 per cent ana In New Bed
ford 10 per cent OF persons arrested lor
public intoxication are 20 released. and
the courts are relieved OF them. The bill
aims to substitute the physician and q
hospital and industrial colony with abun-
dance of fresh air and sunlight for the
warden and the darkness. poor ventila-
ton and enforced idleness OF the city pris-
ons and warehouses.
The law would further reduce the work
of the courts by doing away with the

inevitably produce the alcoholic rounder-

Immediately after the House met this

Representative Johnson of Kentucky. a
member of the District committee. made
the point of no quorum and call OF
the House was ordered. When a quorum
had been obtained Representative Smith
Of Michigan, chairman Of the House Dis
trict committee, called up H. r. 6os6. the
bill introduced by Representative Wiley
of New Jersey, providing for universal
transfers over all street railway lines in
the District of Columbia.
Are the street railway companies of
this city opposed to this bill?" asked Rep
resentative Wanger of Pennsylvania of
Mr.. Wiley. who took the floor in charge
Of his measure.
They are Mr.. Wiley replied.
THE reason I ask, Mr.. Wanger con-
tinued, was that 1 noticed there Is no
penaty provided for violation
Mr.. Wiley explained that according to
the corporation counsel of the District
such penalty was not necessary. the
general law being applicable to the case
and there being a certainty that if enact
ed the legislation would be carried into
court.
But this did not seem to satisfy num-
Der OF members, including Representative
Norris of Nebraska, the insurgent leader,
who expressed a determination to look up
the particular paragraph of law which
would cover the proposition.
Mr.. Stafford of Wisconsin also attacked
the bill on the grounds that it was rude
ly drawn. He suggested that the pro-
vision in the bill that the companies
need not issue a transfer on a transfer
might be construed to apply not only to
transfers between competing companies
under different ownership, but also to
branch lines of the same company.
Mr.. Wiley didn't think so.
But you have no objection to an
amendment along this line?" asked Mr..
Stafford
