Thinks Warning Sufficient.

These two boys were actually sent TO
the penitentiary and put In prisoners
clothes. Their poor parents were hnally
able to raise the $40 apiece which they
were fined and got them out. And all
fer no crime, but simply violating a park
rule against playing tall in the park.
They did not play ball They merely
tossed a small rubber ball All that was
necessary was for the policeman TO tell
them TO stop. and if they did not stop
then they could have been arrested, but
not treated as felons.
That is the way to turn boys into
criminals. l feel this thing more keenly
than anything that has happened since
/ have been Mayor. To discover new
CRATER on the force is not an agreeable
thing, but far less disagreeable than to
have the police and magistrate do this
miserable piece Of business.
The two boys were Edwin Weinberger,
seventeen years old. of No 222 Franklin
street, and his twin brother, Frederick.
The former wrote to the Mayor saying
that although he gave his name and ad-
dress TO the police he and his brother
were kept IN q cell IOI llilSc iAOUi I'M
next day they were fined $40 each by
Magistrate Reynolds, who just before had
fined crap shooters only 81. They were
kept In court for five hours. and re-
quest TO tell their mother disregarded.
The result was that they were trans
ferred to the Raymond street jail with a
vanload of prisoners and then taken TO
the workhouse In his letter Edwin re-
ferred TO the magistrate as a power
maddened, nearsighted judge" and said
his experience was enough to make an
anarchist of one. He put his story in the
form of an affidavit for the Mayor
Magistrate Defends Acts.
Magistrate Louis II. Reynolds defended
Yesterday the action he took in the cases.
when arrests for violation of the park
rules first began to be made" he said.
the rule was to suspend sentence in the
belief that the arrests themselves would
have a salutary effect. This was found
TO be a mistake and small fines were i'm
posed. As the violations continued, the
fines were increased TO s. in the hope
that this would deter those who visited
the park from littering it with refuse. II
finally became necessary, in order TO put
a stop to the matter. 10 Impose fines II
$40 Every facility at the disposal OF the
court was offered TO those who had Lot
the amount of the fine. The court tele-
phone and paper and postage stamps
were at their disposal II the amount Of
the fine could not be secured, the SEN
tence worked automatically. and the per-
sons had TO go to jail.
The people of Brooklyn have spent
millions Of dollars on Prospect Park since
its creation, in 1s45, for its upkeep. and
II must not be despoiled."
Deputy Commissioner Dillon reserved
his decision yesterday after hearing the
testimony in Brooklyn in the trial OF
Lieutenant Charles Washburn and Police
man Harry J. Farley, against whom
charges were made by the Mayor based
on a letter written by Hyman Albert, who
was arrested for playing ball in Prospect
Park on Sunday June l.

According to a report from com
mittee from the associated charities
of Columbia who visited the Richland
county Jail, conditions in the Jail must
be horrible. They could scarcely be
worse n semi-barbarous country. We
should give prisoners humane treat
ment, even after they are convicted,
and certainly this should be done while
they are held awaiting trial, and under
our law are presumed innocent be-
cause they have not been proven gull
ty.
From the information we have had
for several years, now, conditions are
scarcely any better in the Newberry
Jail, except we do not have so many
prisoners to care for. The Newberry
jail has been reported by the grand
jury several times and the newspapers
have written it up a number of times,
but we have such an economical set of
lawmakers from Newberry they would
rather spend money on rural policemen
and such luxuries than do something
for the safe-keeping and the humane
treatment of the prisoners we have to
lake care of.
We have heard OF such thing as
a false economy, and we are inclined
to think that our members of the leg
islature have one or two lessons COM
ing to them on this subject.
The Jail should be made decent and
the county should be put On cash
basis and certainly provision should

A farmer, while loading hay in his

with the pitchfork and sent the dog

him and asked why he didn't use the
blunt end of the fork first.

Wonder if it wouldn't be good time
now to get up that park, since the
chamber of commerce is dead. The
loafers and pool players will have to
have some place to go, and the good
old summer time will soon be
here, and they will want a place. What
say you, you fellows who have Lets of
time On your hands. Suppose you 8SErt
the movement for the park. You may
have all the credit if you go ahead and
get it up. Well have to do something.
Stir up something. We just can't stag

ber of commerce, if 1 am not mistaken
according to the newspapers, started
out to do two specific things. One Of
them was a hospital. I don't know
what has become of it. The other,
have forgotten what it was. Maybe il
was to disband. Anyhow, now that the

charity when properly understood and
appreciated. It would do some people
good right here in this community to
read over again and fully understand
just what this thing charity is. A lot
of us don't know Charity. You have
heard lot of people talk about char

and laughed so to myself, that I have
not had time or the heart to write for
the past several days, and yet I reck-
on it is sinful and cruel in me to laugh

about over the subject which has fur
nished me my amusement, and yet, you
know, we all feel good when our ad-
vice IS taken, at least, once in a while,
especially when it has so frequently
been disregarded, and then to realize
that you really and truly have infu-
ence is another thing to feel good
about, and yet I have kept it all to
myself and will not tell any one about
it, and I beg you to say nothing Of it,
no, do not mention it to any one, be-

easy. Of course they are all dead or
they are moving away. But it is a
