MARKED DECREASE
IN STATE PRISON

r III MOND, A-Special.-
Is crime less in Virginia or are peo-
pie growing better? At least there are
fewSr convicts coming to the peniten-
tiarf, according to the report of Major
JAMES b. Wood, superintendent of the
penftentiary, today submitted to Gov
ernPr Mann, for the year ending Sep
temIber 30th.
The figures from the report show
that the earnings this year are some
$9,pO0 less than the preceding year,
but at Che same time it shows that the
daily average number of inmates is
about So less than for the preceding
year, which in itself would reduce the
earnings to about the figure of the
decrease. as compared with 1909.
"a total of ga new prisoners was re-
cetved during the year, the average of
the men being twenty-five years. There
were 120 less convictions for crime
this year than for the preceding year.
To what the falling off may be due
there is no indication, but 1t would
appear that the people of the State
have been too busy attending to bust
MSS, or having succeeded in not being
cAught, thus reducing the number OF
persons who are forced to wear the
striped suits.
A majority of those who are doing

CRAVE CHARGES
AGAINST CITY HOME
RIC n o \ ID, VA.-Speriai.-

Il l c II " O y ID, NA.--SpeUial-
While the Council Committee on
Relief of the Poor will give at least
a preliminary consideration of the
charges brought by Thomas l.. Pulling
against the City Home at its meeting
tonight it is not generally believed
that it Will take any drastic action in
The matter.
Pulling charges that a patient at the
City Home was given hyperdermic in
iectons of ink, while under treatment
FOR typhoid fever. Pulling says that
he, acting as nurse. administered the
injections, saying that the liquid.
which he claims was ink, was given
him by medical attaches Of the home
for that purpose. 1t was, supposed
TO be a mixture Of choral.
IL is suggested that, even if Pulling
isn't because OF former mental al
flictions. considered altogether re-
sponsible. the truth or falsity of his
charges can be definitely determined
only by having the body OF the dead
youth disinterred and submitted TO a
chemical analysis Whether or not
the committee can or will authorize
such an action. is, or course, a prob
lem. The question, however, may
possibly come before a grand jury,
which would probably cause that
course to be followed.
Pulling was formerly an inmate OF
an insane asylum, and later an inmate
OF the City Home. Later, he was en-
ployed there as a nurse, and while en-
ployed in that capacity made the in
jections.
