Professor William B. Bailey, of

work."
In the departures of Mr.. Bernhardt.
the Yale Mission and the city of
New Haven are suffering a serious
loss. His work among the outcast
and unfortunate has been of high
order. To an experience little short
of marvellous he has joined a quick
sympathy and a wonderful power of
appeal. Not least of his attainments
was the ability to detect shams. By
demanding work from those to whom
he gave assistance he avoided the
accusation of encouraging shiftless-
ness and attracting loafers to the city.
1t is no small achievement to have
made an institution Of this kind
practically self-supporting. In sew
eral cities outside of New England
I have found men who were ac-
quainted with this work of Mr..
Bernhardt, but never have / met
one who questioned his sincerity.
His ability as speaker has made
him much desired for mems meet
ings, and his earnestness and power
of vivid portrayal has carried con-
viction. He is to enter upon a
work for which he is admirably fit
ted, and he takes with him the we'll
wishes of all who know him. His
place in New Haven will be difficult
to fill. .o-WM. B. BAILEY.

There is apparently no object
commonplace that it may not gain
value in the eyes of the relic hunter
from contact with the amous.
When Anthony Hope, whose new
novel, Mrs. Maxon Protests" was
published last week, was last in
America he delivered a course of
lectures under the auspices of the
late Major Pond. The two ordered
an elaborate breakfast one morning
on the train from Boston to Hart
ford. The cook was so slow in pre-
pairing the broiled chickens. that
they reached Willimantic. where
they had to change cars, just as tn.
tray was borne in by the smiling
waiter. Ravenously hungry after
hours OF abstinence, Hope would
have made off with a drum-stick at
least, but Major Pond prevented
him. A drummer bought the dis
tinguished authors chickens and
polished the wish bone to keep it as
a souvenir.

Ten minutes after he had left his
hotel he was hotfooting it down the
street while gang of Chinese used
him as target, and pelting him
with anything they could lay hands
on. Finally, out of breath and look
ing like a cyclone victim, he ducked
into a store. The mob waited for
him with admirable patience. At
the end of every fifteen minutes the
traveller would ask the owner eff the
store:
Are they still there?''
They were there.
Then, just to keep his savior in
good humor, Haskin would make a
purchase. He started out on a tbir-
ty-dollar overcoat, but the mob
waited so long that he dropped in
his expenditures until the articles
he bought were worth only dollar
or two apiece.
He was imprisoned for half a
day, and the price of his escape was
nearly two hundred dollars.-The

Sentence Law
By E. u I

Dy z. u. I.
One of the acts of the Minnesota
Legislature for this year was the
creation of what is described as The
Indeterminate Sentence Law.
The enactment of this law has
given rise to a great deal of specu-
lation among the men here, and, un-
doubtedly, not few have already
compared the new law with the old;
but though perhaps those who have
contrasted the two have arrived at
more or less fixed idea of the ulti-
mate meaning, and of the scope of
the work to which it is supposedly
dedicated, the older and more IA
miliar law still contains sufficiency
of knots" to keep 'em guessing
Interest is revived to an appreci-
able extent when we hit upon some
thing new, and this no end'' but
the maximum institution is quite
concerning, to say the least. At all
events the new machine has all
the ear-marks" of being fit for the
job" and the samples that one could
expect new machine to produce
will be watched for with keen inter-
est by those who are the more nearly
vitally concerned.
Itwas one of the unexpected turns
of the wheel of fortune" and while
it may prove of Untold benefit, the
thought of the power held by few
is uppermost, though we should not
condemn as one who leaps in the
dark"
Contrasts, however, are unavoid-
able. No man fears, or unduly
feels honest criticism of his acts.
when he believes himself in the
right; and it is because of that pos
sibility that | wish to present my
views of this law.
What is desired by the Indeter-
inmate Sentence?- One thought is,
to decrease the criminal population
of the outer world; another, to in
crease the punishment of the often
der SO that from that punishment
will come reformation; al d another
is, to reform with the least amount
of punishment possibly consistent
with the idea of retaliation.
Why is such law needed in the
state of Minnesota? 1t is generally
understood that more drastic meas
ures are necessary where the acts
show more of an extreme vicious
ness and this new law implies, that
in proportion, at least, those whom
it effects are of the vicious class, or
out and out criminals this we
mean they are professional crooks.
(To distinguish between the crook
and the criminal, we must needs 90
beyond the ordinary classification
In brief, the crook is one who lives
wholly by dishone means, while
the criminal is one who, normally,
is a law-abiding citizen. However.
we cannot get away from the sup
position that by an indeterminate
sentence. the design is to increase
the period of punishment. Consid-
ering the need, how do New York,
New Jersey and Minnesota compare
as to classes of undesirables?' There
is no guesswork about the matter
among those who know. Obviously,
wealth, and the possibility for easy
money" are the magnets that draw
and hold the crook, but not the
criminal or laborer-crook, it is just
as fair to differentiate between these

To Leave
Vol. XXIv.-No. 4S.

Louis Barnhardt, who for the last
four years has been Superintendent
of Yale Hope Mission at New Haven,
Conn.,, has resigned. The Yale
News, of May Goth, urges all those
interested to attend. meeting to be
held that evening when Mr.. Bern
hardt was to tell of his future plans
as Field Secretary in the Southern
States for the Prison Reform Asso-
citation. The News article is illus
trated with picture of the splendid
four story Mission house and half
tone of Mr. -Bernhardt.
Louis J. Bernhardt," the article
continues, was born in Savannah,
Ca, in 1858. He was graduated
from the University of Georgia with
the Glass Of 1879. During his col
lege course he contracted a passion
for gambling, which stayed with
him after he left the University and
soon involved him in difficulties that
drew him into life of crime. For
thirty years he was one of the most
notorious bank robbers Of the
South, serving total of % years in
the penitentiary.
In October 1906, few months
after his discharge from prison at
Nashville, Tenn, he happened into
the Jerry McAuley Mission in Wat
er Street New York City. Here,
touched by the kindness of one of
the women workers, he resolved to
start life anew and entered actively
into Christian work. In the Winter
of 1906-19O7 the founders of the
Yale Hope Mission were looking for
someone to superintend the work.
Mr.. Bernhardt was recommended
for the position, and began his duties
here March 16, 1907. Since then he
and his work have been well known
to Yale men. From him many have
received inspiration and help. Few
men could have so well brough, to-
gether the student body and the dis
heartened and down and OUT men
of the street to the benefit Of both.
To remedy evils in the prisons of
the South, which for long time
have Jagged behind those of other
sections of the country by clinging
to barbarous and cruel customs, the
Prison Reform Association of the
South was established in January of
this year. The organizers were in
fuentual business men Of Savannah
and Atlanta. Mr.. Bernhardt came
in touch with the work of the
new association while travelling
through the South last year, speak
ing at different universities and in
many of the large cities. Shortly
afterward he was invited to become
Field Secretary of the organization.
To this position Mr.. Bernhardt brings
an intimate personal knowledge Of
the very conditions the association
is trying to better.
Yale Hope Mission, which owes
so much b to Mr.. Bernhardt. was
founded in 1906 to take the place of
the old rescue mission at 145 Frank
lin Street. Its purpose is to minister
to the needs OF men who have fallen
to the lowest depths of depravity.
and to bring them back to useful
ness and lives of self-respect. In
1909, the hotel building at 55 Court
Street was purchased to aid in the
Mission work and at the present
time the equipment consists of the
main room for daily meetings, 80

class whom Minnesota has to deal
with is not the class of New York
and New Jersey, but the manhood
such as it is-the men and boys. or
the flesh and blood of her citizens.
Not but that Minnesota has wealth.
and in abundance, but her wealth is
represented in agricultural pursuits.
in manufactures and mining, where
as the wealth of eastern New York
state and New Jersey, is the wealth
of the individual expended in the
pursuit Of pleasure and etc.. and
from this it follows that the profess
sional in crookdom is of more fixed
location.
In continuation of the thought of
the need for this law there is the
question Of how many of the con-
victions are of those from without
the state? The proportion do not
know; but this / do know: that the
professional crook is one who oper-
ates in certain, or fairly well-defned
localities; that he seldom leaves that
territory unless pretty sure of some
thing like big money" and then
only long enough to get the find, ;"
Tor get caught) and return to his
accustomed haunts. Also the crook
has a following has influence, and
come-to-the-front" people, who are
there to protect his (and their's) in
terests; and again he is one who
seldom is caught-that is in circum-
stances where convictions are. ine-
vitable. Therefore, barring very
small minority, the convictions are
of the native sons of the state itself
hence the question:: Why is such
a law needed in Minnesota? Per-
haps, though, our viewpoint is one of
bias and this new law is designed
to correct abuses in the old. If
that be true, truly it is high time
that this indulgence in excessive
imposition to penal servitude be
curtailed, and the limit of one stay
be determined by his observance of
the rules, and his diligence, gener-
ally. From this we may see the
need for such a law. Again it oc-
ours to me from contemplation of
a time-honored" custom, whose
prerogative is it to determine the
amount of punishment consistent
with justice and in consideration of
mitigating circumstances, or az the
merit from the facts adduced war
rant the sentence? Now as econo-
my is of supreme importance to sta
bility in government, why not abol-
ish judgeship? What is there left
for his Honor" to do, other than
determine questions of law? From
reiterations of the fact of the honesty
of the people at heart, why not leave
such things to the jury? Because,
as matter of fact, it is not ques-
tions of law, (such are merely techni-
calities backed by what is termed
long green") but the question of
the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused. Whatever Of mitigating cir
cumstances there may be in connec-
tion with the facts in the case, will
be seen and appreciated by the ad-
ministrators of the Indeterminate
Sentence. Personally, l rather look
for some interesting developments
from the operation of this law; but
while no law is perfect, this may be
the one long looked for blessing.
with respect as to how the law
breaker should be dealt with. In
conclusion. there is that other and
likewise new method in criminal
procedure, known as the Probation

service Comrade Hight was commits
