CHURCHILL IS PROMPT
TO ACT ON PRISON REFORM
Boldly Sweeps Away Abuses Whose
Correction Had Been vainly
Urged for Years.

LONDON, July 26.-The Right Hon.
Winston Churchill, in the few months
that he has been at the Home Office.
has boldly done what many English
prison reformers had been vainly en-
deavoring to get done for many years.
This son of an American mother
has announced sweeping series OF
reforms I'm the British penitentiary
system. Mr.. Churchills attention was
directed to the subject by seeing a
performance of John Galsworthy' $
play Justice at the Duke Of York's
theater. In the speech announcing
his plans, the home secretary refer
red te-tAa- fact that the-epil- Of Sell
tary confinement had been brought
home to the public and to the Home
Office by various able writer's In the
press and by opponents of the drama.
Thus, what Charles Reade, with his
novel Its Never Too Late to Mend
cid half a century ago, Galsworthy
has now done with a play.
Mr.. Churchill does more than mit-
gate the horrors OF solitary confine-
ment. He will introduce legislation
dealing with offenders between the
ages of 16 and 81. Instead OF being
sent to prison, youths who have not
committed serious offenses will be
subjected merely to some sort OF drill
or physical Inatru9tion, which will
be both punitive and salutary. This
reform will save 5000 lads a year
from prison.
There will also be sweeping changes
in the treatment OF political offend.
ers, including suffragists. They will
enjoy many privileges. Prison clothes
need not be worn. There will be no
compulsory baths, no search. no hnir-
cutting or shaving. ana 40 cell-clean.
ing. Free exercise, with the right OF
conversation, will be permitted twice
daily; also visits from friends, and
books not dealing with current events
Lectures or concerts will be given four
times year in the convict prisons
throughout the country.
The whole system Of the ticket-of
leave will be abolished and methods
are to be developed by which eonvicts
on the expiration OF their sentences
will be helped to make an honest liv
ing.
Mr.. Churchills reforms are univer
sally commended as notable advance
toward the ideal state to which he
himself referred when he said: THE
mode and temper OF the 'public viii
regarding the treatment of criminal.
Is one OF the most unfailing tests o.
the civilization of any country"

I'VE knew the folks would be just

no possible way to let them know we
were safe. and the only thing to do
was to get home as soon as we could.
We left Joe Bedore's place at 8 o'clock

BEARS SMASH STOCK PRICES
TO NEW Low LEVELS FOR YEAR
Brokers Heretofore In Bull Column
Dump Blocks Of Holdings Into
New York Market

NEW YORK, July 26.--The stock
market was again very much democrat
lied today. The bears raided the list
and sent most Of the standard stocks
down to a new low levels. There was
an utter absence of support from any
quarter and fractional declines were
the rule on every sale recorded.
There seemed to be no real reason
for the depression excepting the gen.
eral "All gone" feeling that seems to
rule most of the manipulators OF
values these days. What news there
was for the most part was of reas-
suring character but 1T had no effect
on the market.
A good part Of todays selling came
from brokers that heretofore have
been rated In the bull column and 1t
was at all times evident that there
were few outsiders in the market.
Trading was confined to the pro-
fessional element almost throughout.
A small failure on the Consolidated
Exchange was magnifled for market
purposes and seemed to aid In ex-
tending the panicky feeling In every
corner OF the floor.
