Bad Sanitary Conditions.

Bad sanitary conditions, where disease
stalks about. where there is absolutely
, no hope for benefit to the prisoners, but
| only chance for them to sink deeper
into degradation, were pointed out as a
| few Of the evils.
Mr. Within said that the Governor
of Maryland has just ordered q report
on conditions at the institution I'm ques-
ton, and the appointment of a commits
sion to Investigate. but fully two years
would elapse before conditions could be
remedied.
Attorney General Wickersham. who
was introduced by Mrs. Archibald Hop
kins, the chairman, said that today be-
ing Washington's birthday it was most
appropriate for the association to take
up work such as the investigation and
study of prison conditions. as it lis in
keeping with the public spirit Of Wash
ington.
The solution of the problems, accord
ing to the Attorney General. is in better
ing the condition Of the prisoners and in
keeping alive that little spark of decency
in the life of even the meanest Of the
unfortunates. 1t is hard to arouse SYM
pathy for the hardened criminal. he said,
but public feeling turns easily to appeals
in behalf of the first offender, especially
the Juvenile.
Mr.. Within said that the prison prob
lem first was brought squarely before
THIS country as q result OF cOn0ftlOnS eX-
listing on prison ships, and by the activi-
ties Of John Howard. who exposed prison
conditions An England. 1t was left to
woman, Elizabeth Frey, to lay the foun-
dations of the industrial system by which
prisoners are given work.
AS conditions show today, he declared,
slavery has not been entirely abolished
in the United States, as it exists under
state laws which allow a convict to be
sold to a contractor to work out his
time.
Sold to Contractor. !.
He cited conditions in the penal insti-
tuition at New Haven, where prisoners
are sold to contractor who has him
self the full power of punishment while
they are under his control. This system
should be abolished for the welfare of
the country, as well as for the solution
of the industrial problem of our prison
system, he urged.
Mr. Within added that the real solution
of the Industrial problem lies in the
broad development of the prison along
the lines of the trade schools, convict
labor for state use and system of pay
that will leave something for the pris-
oner to put aside for himself when he is
released, after the expense of his own
keeping is deducted.

Matter Discussed by Woman's
Welfare Department.
REMEDIES ARE SUGGESTED
E. Stage Within Says Conditions at
Institution at Jessups, Nd,
Are Disgraceful.

Discussion Of remedies for the solution
of the Industrial problem in connection
with the prison system in the United
States, by which. it is declared, convicts
are sold in actual slavery to work for
private contractors, gave rise to criticism
Of conditions in the Maryland house Of
correction at Jessups, Nd. within fifteen
miles of the District, today at a meeting
of the 'woman's welfare department of
the National Civic Federation. The
meeting was held at the residence of Mrs.
Herbert Wadsworth, 1901 Massachusetts
avenue.
E. Stagg Within, secretary Of the Ma
tional Association for Prison Labor, In
an address presenting the evils made
possible by the present conditions. both
industrial and moral, in the prisons Of
the country, declared that at the Mary
land institution conditions exist that
should not be tolerated by any SELL
respecting body of citizens.
Judge William III. De Lacy OF the Ju-
venile Court appealed to the members
of the woman's welfare department to
visit the institution and see what other
wise they would hardly believe could ex-
list under the laws of Maryland.
