CONVICT LABOR SUCCEEDS.

Whatever trouble other states are
having to prove that road building
by convict labor is not as successful
as the advocates for that system
claim for II, Colorado has demostrat-
ed the perfect feasibility OF the plan
from the standpoint OF efficiency
and economy and above everything
else AZ a solution OF the problem
OF the treatment and the care
OF prisoners The success In Col
orado. however. may be due TO the
warden OF the penitentary inaugural
ing the convict labor system with
all these features in view Mr..
Thomas J Tynon. Colorados war
den has convinced all classes OF cit
liens that road work by convict lab-
or is the answer 10 both the ques-
lions as how to get good roads and
how to employ state conysets IN
healthful. profitable employment
without conflicting with free labor
Last year 40 per cent OF the con-
ylcts we're worked outside OF the pri'l
son walls. Ten hundred OF them wer !
engaged exclusively In road building
The cost per day for the medntain-
ance OF cash prisoner employed is
estimated at thirty-six cents. The
counties in which the re ads are built
pay this cost. less the amount the
state would be compelled TO pay TO

twelve cents per day.
Eight hours constitute a days lab
or. and for each month of road work
ten days are subtracted from the
term OF Imprisonment IN addition TO
their usual time off allowed them
for good behavior.
Warden Tynon permits no armed
guards TO patrol the camps where
the men are employed. They do
not wear stripes or work In chains;
even the night patrol OF the camp
Is made by the prisoners themselves,
Ii Is universally conceded In
Colorado that this system OF ham ,
ding the men has had the result OF
interesting them in their work and {
making better citizens OF them when |
released That the prisoners value +,
and appreciate the treatment accor-
ded them Ia evidenced by the fact
that less than one-half OF one per
cent OF the prisoners engaged in
this kind OF employment have been
lost by escapes Here is what the :
Colorado warden says OF the system: :
The road work Is the one hope of
every prisoner In this institution;
but we make them appreciate II n

plaintiff in the Harlem Police Court
against John A. Qualey and Harvey
Wiley Cor5ett, whom she accuses OF
swindling her out OF $35, 900, declared
Yesterday afternoon that it was her son
James G. Blaine, Sd, that caused her
to suspect she was being victimlzed
by the prisoners.
Acting as a detective for his mother,
young Blaine, who is % years old,
went to Boston to look up the financial
standing Of the promoters and their
enterprise. When asked if her son
had any special knowledge OF
mechanics, Mrs. Bull retorted sharply.
81 don't know just what course my
son took in college, but he didn't need
any special knowledge of mechanics.
He only needed ordinary intelligence,
and am sure that he has that. "
rs he in business?" Lawyer Mcln-
tyre asked.
No" replied Mrs. Bull; hes in
Harvard. "
"Ahal" said Mr. McIntyre-and
there was a triumph in that aha. J"
so. then, he doesn't know anything
about business?"
Mrs Bull, in the same dulcet tones
that had prefaced some Of her most
crushing replies, SAID
"He didn't have to know anything
about business to know that the Qualcy
Company is fake. J."
Mr. Mcintyre turned to Magistrate
Krotel and implored him to have the
witness treat him like a gentleman. "
Mrs. Bull promised she would.

Grated her testimony to the effect that
Mrs. Ellen Dunlop Hopkins, her society
