British System for Reforming
Army Deserters to Be Tried.
Criminals to Be Sent to AlcatraZ
While Men Guilty of Purely Mill
tary Offenses Are to Go to
Fort LeavenWorth Prison.

WashlngtOn.-A sweeping change in
ed by orders of the War Department.
All of the short term prisoners of AL
catraz island, San Francisco, have
been ordered transferred to Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas.
All of the long term prisoners in
the latter institution, about 270, to be
transferred to Alcatraz, which will
thus be made the place of confinement
for the criminal element, while Leav-
enWOrth will be the place o. detention
of soldiers guilty of purely military
Offenses To save transportation eX-
penses, a second criminal Jail is Gre
ated at Fort Jay, Governors Island,
n. Y
The effects Of these changes is to
carry out the recently developed Brit
ish system Of treating deserters and
other soldiers guilty of breaches of
discipline as subject to reformatory
influences and of segregating them
from the absolutely criminal and
vicious class
In a report, giving the result of
recent inspection by him of the ode
tentiOn barracks" of the British army
the inspector general of the United
States army, Gen. E. A. Darlington,
said:
1T took five or six years for the
detention system in England to es-
tablish itself. but it apparently has
saved many men from trouble and
from degenerating into hardened
cases. They evidently endeavor in
this system to apply humane com
mon sense in the treatment of men in
trouble This gives an opportunity
for the men to recover their self-re-
spect and respond to any lotto in
stinct which, under the stigma of
prison life and its demoralizing en-
vironment, cannot be expected to sur
vive.''

Stones Worth $4,000 Taken Monthly
From the Farm OF an Old Boer
in Westerh Transvaal.

Notwithstanding to information
received in London new diamond
field has been discovered in the West
ern Transvaal The site is the farm Of
an old Boer at Mocifontein, in the dis
trict of Bloemhof. MoOifontein now
has population of more than 5000
drawn there by the diamond fields.
The development OF the diamond field
was the outcome of the rush of miners
to Bloemhof, village on the Vaal
river, 220 miles from Johannesburg.
A little more than year ago a
Dutch farmer discovered diamonds
near Bloemhof and some diggers from
mining camps went there. Among the
prcspectors were the sons Of the old
Boer at MOoifontein. They found
that the gravel in which the diamonds
were found was identical with gravel
on their fathers farm and went home
to investigate it.
They struck pay dirt Immediately
Last September the government is
sued a proclamation declaring a por-
ton of the farm to be an alluvial dig
cling and the rush to stake claims was
begun. Mooifontein was the name of
the old Beers farm. 1t is now a small
city.
In November the owner, who was
receiving $4,000 a month in house
fees from the claim holders, protested
against the purpose to open more of
his farm to diamond seekers. He said
brought cattle ard sheep which were
devastating his fields. The field is
