Federal Prison for Women Under WAY

IT NCLE SANS women prisoners,
- nearly five hundred of them, now
scattered In state penitentiaries all
over the country, soon will have a
prison of their own, a prison inside a
prison, in fact, into which no man,
aside from a few higher officers ever
will penetrate.
The new prison is being built inside
the walls of the United States peni-
Tertiary at Leavenworth, Kan. It oc-
cupies one corner of the prison in.
closure, from which it will be cut off
by high walls, as secure as those
which surround the main Enclosure.
Though less likely to chance escape
than the men, the women will be more
securely confined than the most des-
perate characters in the mems prison.
No community Of nuns will be any more
closely shut of from the world. Few
visitors ever will penetrate the walls
of the women's prison, and even visits
from relatives will be confined as
much as possible to women relatives.
The government now pays the vari-
GUS states in whose prisons women

generally have been convicted of viola

though Mrs. Wallace was given his

der the direct supervision of a woman,
who probably will have the title OF
superintendent. No guards, strictly
speaking, will be necessary, but there
will be several women warders, whose
duties, however, will partake more Of
the nature of forewomen.
Upon the women prisoners will de-
volve the making of bed clothing, ta-
blecloths, things worn by the men
prisoners or used in the prison. They
will, of course, make their own cloth
ing.
No style Of prison dress has been
decided on, but it probably will be a
one-piece dress of coarse, blue mate
rialT but without numbers. The wom-
en- will have their own playground, IL
brary, chapel, gymnasium and hospital
and, as in the mems prison, will be al
lowed to have entertainments. The
new prison will be the first women's
prison the government has built and
will be large enough to care for all the
women federal prisoners for years to
come.

next morning following the scenes
that were enacted there one night
when q maddened beast charged up

ed women to faint and strong men to

burning tail that broke loose during
the Coney Island fire last spring was
a tame affair in comparison with the
Broadway monster.
The beast is described In the police
blotter as small fox terrier, but it is
evident that the police were anxious
to minimize the seriousness Of the pan

testify that the animal was at least
eight feet tall. It's foaming mouth and
wicked fangs were too terrible for de-

" 100000 cloth contract it sees
to 1t that 1t gets material according
to specifications On this account the
men Of the United States army come
nearer knowing to a certainty what
they are buying In the way Of cloth
than do any other consumers in the
country.
On Governors island, New York
city, there ia a testing laboratory for
cloth. A specification Of the weight
per linear yard Of each kind Of cloth
is mentioned: each bolt Of goods is
weighed, and If it falls short Of the
proper weight it is thrown out. Next
the question Of wear and tear is con-
sidered, and again the specification is
stated that each special kind of cloth
will stand a strain Of SO many pounds
to the inch filling way. So after
weighing the next test is to cut a sam
pie and try in a machine the strength
Of the cloth. II It will not stand this
test the cloth is thrown out.
After the cloth has been pronounced
perfect for weight and strength the
dye tests are made; 1t must stand two
