PRISON REFORMS URGED
Contract System of Labor
Condemned at Congress
in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, November 1.-THE con-
tract system Of prison labor was con-
demned in the report Of the committee on
prison labor presented today at the con-
gress of the American Prison Association
In annual session here. The committee,
however. recommended the system when
no other means OF employment could be
provided. believing it preferable to idle
ness.
The employment Of prisoners, the report
maintained, should be directed entirely
by the state. and the products Of this
labor should be disposed of by the state.
The first consideration of every organ
ization, the report continued. should be
the training Of the prisoner and after
that financial results. Every prison
should be SO classified that a certain
group of men should at all times be pro-
vided with work on farms, roads and
other outside labor, and a larger portion
of each prison should be employed on the
state account system.
The committee believed it possible for
every state having population of 2,OOO,-
COO Inhabitants or more to employ all its
convict population in the manufacture of
articles for the use of the state and it's
political divisions.
James H. Leonard. superintendent of
the Ohio state reformatory at Mansfield,
was elected president of the association,
and DIR. d. c. Peyton, Jefersonville, Ind,
vice president. The secretary, Joseph p.
Byers of Trenton, N. j.; financial secre-
tary, H. H. Shirer Of Columbus. Ohio and
treasurer, Frederick H. Mills of New
York. were reelected.
The congress will end its session this
evening.

MYSTERY IN SUICIDE
CLEARED BY MOTHER
Parent of "Mrs. Carrie
Schwartz" Causes Arrest
of "HuSband."

Mrs. Mary Umhoeffer of % Madison
street, Gutenberg. N. j., last night solved
the mystery of the identity of the young
woman, who, under the name of Mrs.
Carrie Schwartz, committed suicide in her
rooms at 1925 street northwest last
June by taking carbaliS acid. She told the
police the woman who ended her life was
her daughter and was the wife of George
santes of Brooklyn, N. Y. said to have
been a friend of Charles Frederick
Kiligas, with whom she eloped year
ago. kiligas assumed the name OF
Schwartz. he admitted to the police. and
was living as the husband Of Mrs. Santes.
Last night when Mrs. Umhoeffer and
her son came here and saw Inspector
Boardman the mother explained how she
Ehappened to learn of her daughter
death, and entered a complaint against
KiIigas, which resulted in his arrest. Her
allegation was that he was charged with
having passed worthless checks in Brook
lyn and Hoboken. and Kiligas, the police
say, admitted having passed checks. ana
told about several transactions.
This afternoon Inspector Boardman re-
ceved a telegram from Inspector Saurot
of the Brooklyn detective force that he
had sent a detective to take ,kiligas back
to Brooklyn to answer the charges.
Wrote to Dead Daughter.
Mrs. Umhoeffer told Inspector Board
man that she learned of her daughter S
death when she received letter and
newspaper clippings from an occupant OF
the house where her daughter had ended
her life Not knowing of her daughter
death, Mrs. Umhoeffer wrote a letter and
addressed 1t to her daughter under the
name she had assumed, and it was when
she received the response from an occu-
pant of the house that she learned Of the
death.
Detectives Weldon and Burlngame
found Kiligas in business place on Z
street last night. He is an ironworker
He came here about a year ago, Mrs
Santes accompanying him. The day she
killed herself the police of the first pre-
cinct arrested Kiligas, whose name was
given as Schwartz. He convinced the
authorities. however. he was in no way
responsible for her death.
The ironworker, who was employed on
the wireless tower at Arlington at the
time his companion ended her life. after.
ward admitted she was not his wife, and
denied that he knew Of her identity. II
| is probable that Mrs. Umhoeffer will take

Gutenberg Her daughters life she
states, was insured for $1,000. and she
expects the insurance will be paid as
