MEXICAN CONGRESS
APPROVES BIG LOAN
Hundred Million Secured Through
French Bankers.

Mexico City, May 22.-The Mexican
congress has given its sanction TO an
agreement for a loan of 500, 000, 600
at 6 per cen interest. The amount
Is to be placed at 80 and will run for
ten years. 1t is guaranteed by 3S per
cent of the customs receipts. The Mex
lean National bank is named as the
representative of the bankers in the
supervision of the disbursements.
The debate on the loan was a long
one. The minister of finance was
charged with failure to take better
offers which had been made. He re-
piled that Provisional President Huer-
Ia and the other members of the M *
lean cabinet had urged upon him the
Immediate acceptance of this loan as
the other offers received necessitated
more delay.
Ii Is still necessary for congress to
discuss and vote on the four articles
of the financial measure, but its ap-
prevail of the general terms OF the
bill makes 1t reasonably certain that
1t will also approve the details.
The loan has been placed with
French bankers, but II Is certain that
British interests are participating.
The names of the bankers have not
been announced.

COLONEL JOSEPH F. SCOTT.

Auburn prison. Colonel Scott was ap-
pointed superintendent of prisons after
a successful administration, covering
more than ten years, of the affairs OF
the Elmira reformatory. He was con-
sidered of the foremost p~enologists
In the country. President Taft sum-
moned Colonel Scott to Washington to
preside Over the international confer
m on prison reform held there two
years ago. Mr.. Blake In his report as
sails Colonel Scott bitterly and says
flatly that he has done nothing to earn
his reputation.
Mr.. Blake asserts that because Of In
fiuence exerted by men well known In
various walks of life money has been
wrung from persons seeking clemency
for prisoners, but I'm some cases the
favors bought were not delivered"
The commissary department of the
prison, according to Mr.. Blake, 'is run
along incompetent IL not dishonest
lines. There Is criminal carelessness If
not downright grating. Signs that this
Is the cas- stick out as plentifully as
quilts on the back Of a frightened por-
cupine."
John s.. Kennedy, warden OF Sing
Sing, is charged by Mr.. Blake with
having violated the law. "He has per
mitted the creation and continuance of
unbusinesslike methods" says the re-
port, 'and has caused the state TO lose
thousands Of dollars In a way that
points directly to graft. He has made
no attempt to protect the inmates from
disease and vice nor any effort to pro-
duce better conditions In this prison."
Mr.. Blake says he was told stories,
amply corroborated, Of such frightful
character as to appeal to the most I'M
feeling person. The cells on the ground
door, he says, drip with moisture, so
that the inmates In many cases have
become victims Of chronic rheumatism.
Many pages OF the report are devoted
to a criticism of the industrial depart
ment Of the prison. Mr.. Blake says
that there has been a constant de-
eas In the profits, which have drop
ped from $76,74 In the first six months
Of 1910 to $30.O52 in the first six
months OF 1912.
In the course of his investigation of
the commissary department of the pris-
on Mr.. Blake says that, according to
the records, 400 pounds Of beef went to
Warden Kennedy's table during the
month OF March. Commenting gener-
ally on the conduct of this department

enormous waste, while the prisoners,
