>ng of visitors was made more rigorous
than usual, while even the guards fell
under suspicion. all without avail, until
during one of his periods Of inward debate
Warden Hayes's mental eye suddenly
rested upon the great new bridge, and the
question answered itself.
For the possibilities of the new bridge
had already appealed to resouTceful minds,
and whiskey, cigarettes, cigars. tobacco
and other contraband articles had been
quietly and unobtrusiveIy dropped over its
side to the men working beneath either by
their friends or others with misplaced
sympathes.
Two arrests were made. The prisoners
pleaded merely philanthropic intent for
dropping packages of cigarettes. They were
discharged with warning. But the bridge
is under guard now, and It is no longer
safe accidentally to drop anything as you
hang over the railing watching the prison
ers at work
In view of this little affair went to see
Warden Hayes, at the penitentiary, and
asked him to tell me a few of the other
schemes by which attempts are made to
smuggle in forbidden articles:
THE principal things we have to fight
against here he said, are morphine. and
cocaine. Whiskey occupies so much space
that il is difficult to get it TO the prisoner
without detection. But in the case of the
drugs I mentioned, enough to keep man
literally supplied for a month can be Sc
GREETED in a very small space indeed, and it
keeps us eternalIy on the alert TO prevent
the success of such attempts. The women
visitors are much the hardest t. deal with.
In the first place. there are five times as
many of them. In the second place. it is
much more difficult to search them. They
are more sensitive than the men-particu-
larly when they have anything to conceal"
The warden laughed.
They make q fuss. them" 1 asked.
Awful. The matrOn has her hands full,
I assure you. AS TO how they work: The
other Gay the matron took a quart bottle
OF whiskey from a woman's stocking. She
had brought il for her husband. How on
earth she ever walked with 1t there beats
me. She must have concealed it while she
was on the boat coming over. and just
walked up from the boat to the prison. It
would seem a physical impossibility to
have carried it further. But anything like
that Of course, is easily discOverable. It
Is the drugs that cause the trouble. They

AS TO OUR ICE
Conditions Under Which Much
Of.It Forms and Is Harvested.

In describing. last Sunday, the objection
able features surrounding the transpoTta-
ton Of natural ice, it was suggested that.
even If the latter were pure at the start,
Il could hardly be expected TO arrive here
in that state. But it's original purity must
be open 10 grave doubt-at least very
much the larger part of 1t; for some 80 per
cent of New Yorks supply of natural ice
Is from the Hudson River, where there are
zones Of dangerous pollution, as shown by
the State Board of Health which also has
pointed out that certain Of the ice houses,
or fields. are so located. with reference to
sewage outlets, as 10 render the ice cut
therefrom subject 70. contamination, and
therefore a menace 10 health" Although
the Department is without specific au-
thority over the control Of the ice indus
try" as II has admitted, il has declared
that The cutting of ice from these fields
should he prohibited"
Prudden gave practically the same warn
ing when he wrote: In settled regions
human hahitations and certain industries
form one of the greatest and most sgnii-
cant sources Of the bacterial impurities Of
water" Nor did he consider 1t necessary
that these should be deadly bacteria, TO
render their presence a menace. for he
said: 1t is probable that exceedingly large
numbers Of the ordinarily harmless species
may IN especially sensitive persons, SuCn
rs young children. give rise TO important
disorders Of the digestive system"
Another count against this ice is one
that may be brought against all OF that
shipped here. and that is that the har-
vesting Is done by a difficult class TO dis
cipline and regulate, and in consequence
in the cutting there Is often great care
lessness displayed. as a state official has
declared. adding: There is the danger OF

conceal IL everywhere about their clothes
and in their hair. A woman can conceal
almost anything in her hair nowadays"
the warden added.
l laughed.
"In their rats he continued
you might say the same thing about
their hats" I commented.
They put things in the Innings of their
waists and in their belts. The matrOn
found quite a supply of cocaine in the
finger of wOman's glove the other day.
Then they bring in oranges The stem end
is carefully cut out, the drug placed in
side the orange, and the stem replaced as
though it had not been removed. 1t looks
perfectly innocent, just a bag OF half
dozen oranges, but we know that trick too
well for it to work. One of the hardest
ways to discover the presence of a drug is
when It is baked in pies or cakes. Then"
the warden continued. here is another
dodge
He took a magazine from his desk. opened
1t and held two leaves between his fingers
You can conceal considerable cocaine or
morphine between two of these leaves" he
said. Gum them together, and in looking
through the magazine they will scarcely
be noticed. You remember the man who
let you in?"
l nodded.
"One of his duties is to go over each
magazine brought in here, page by page
going by the numbers. so that he may not
overlook any"
"a tedious task" I said.
Yes hut necessary. AS I said before.
our chief trouble is with drugs but, of
course, we have to keep a sharp lookout
for saws files and the like"
How do they get those No. 1 questioned.
''Oh. in the same way-in cakes, bread
and pies, We always cut such things open
tC make sure they are innocent as they
appear, and what a time the donors do
make about il. Their indignation increases
in the ratio of their guilt. They tell us
how much trouble and money it has cost
to have the cake made. then we tell them
they don't have to eat it. SO why worry?''
The warden laughed
ANY other ways?". l asked
Hundreds. many of them not printable,
hut possibly I have given you enough to
illustrate that it is necessary for us to
keep our eyes open most of the time"
1t was Warden Hayes's busy day, so I
thanked him and came away.

There is a conspiracy on foot TO prevent

A few days ago, just when I had decided
life to be quite worth living, was sent to
jail-not for a crime committed, of course,
or I wouldn't be telling it, but merely to
get a story; and, taking base advantage or
my happy frame of mind, it was specified
that it was to be an amusing story-a
paradox, an amusing story in a prison.
Yes. even there light turks in the darkness,
so perhaps the conspiracy isn't to make me
less cheerful only more philosophical
But. anyway. if one wishes to study the
beautiful ingenuity and rcsourcefulness OF

Blackwells Island on its way from Man

knows, prisoners on the island and else
where are not permitted the use of drugs,
