Baltimore Police Board Unearths
Hightful Condition In House
of Correction.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. 3.-De-
clartng the house Of correction to be
penal institution exclusively, and
not corrective one, as IS generally
supposed, the board Of city police
criticism of the institution In the re-
port 1t has made to the governor Of
the state.
The board declares that it has had
Its eyes opened, and while it be-
lieNed that the men sent to the
Hous.. OF Correction were put to work
on the farm or on outside labor, II
has found that the men are cooped
up in contractors shops and never
allowed outside, and If they do not
perform their ALLOTTED task. which. is
er severe, they are dashed as pun
ishment.
The board states that it appears
that one Of the chief ends of the In
stltutiOn was to make a favorable
showing in financial matters, and that
the interest of the contractors who
conduct the shirt and mat factories
in the institution, and of the state
came before the interests of the pris.
oners.
This fact was made clear by the
superintendent, who complained that
the magistrates were sending men tc
the institution for too short periods
for them to be Of any use to tho
contractors, or to the state, stating
that the magistrates should not send
men for 80 or so days, because un-
less they came for at least three
months they would be Of no use tc
the contractors.
The magistrates further state thai
the institution is in a general un.
sanitary condition. AS stated, pris.
oners are punished for slow work
the magistrates claiming this system
has possibilities of great injustice
The governor Of the state is much
exercised over this report. and meas
ures are to be taken to inauguratt
a thorough investigation.

Where Is Committee of so?
We have a distinct recollection of a
committee having been appointed by
the Commercial club to attempt to
bring about settlement of the strike.
The committee was active during the
few days when there was absolutely
no service. but has not emitted a peep
since.
/ 1t is said that the easiest way to q

business men were pretty hard hit.
They helped work up the powerful
sentiment in favor of the strikers

Presto! A meeting was called and
some one suggested that If the con-
troversy were submitted to arbitration

THOUSANDS HOMELESS.

In addition to the temporary dis
aster, occasioned by the breaking of
the government levee, thousands of
people will be rendered homeless in
the flooded district for weeks yet to
come, and will likewise be without
employment or means of self-support.
The greatest burden of caring for
the refugees falls upon Hickman,
where people flocked from lowlands
of Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri.
Without the assistance OF other towns
and the government we would GER
tainly have been reduced to starvation
several days ago, as the provisions in
the local stores we're not sufficient 70
meet the emergency and impaired
shipping facilities made it a difficult
matter to receive shipments.
Hundreds of residences in both
Hickman and the bottoms are under
water. 1t will be many days before
they can be occupied again. Many
houses were swept away in the bot
tom. Some of the first to go after
the break were the residence of Bud
Darnen, three houses belonging to A.

Hawks residence. Willis Gates cotton
git and warehouses. Carl Waggoner's
residence and many others. The dam

BROKE IN GOOD PLACE.

So far as the interests OF Hick-
man are concerned, the government
levee broke at a good place. Had II
occurred nearer or at town, the cur
rent of the river would have been
drawn through West Hickman. which
as matter of fact, would have add
ed materially to the damage there
Mengel would have lost 100000 worth
OF lumber, and a large number OF
west end residences would have been
literally demolished and carried a
way. As it is the water is practical

town. The water going through the
break in the levee finds an outlet
