1T is THE SILENT MAN
WHO CO\SPIRFS"- -WARDE


JOLIET, ILL.,, Sept. S.-Free speech
behind prison walls-they dub it
privilege of conversation"-is as es-
sential as free speech in public places
as it permits people to "blow off," it
acts as a safety valve. according to
Edmund P. Allen, the new warden Of
the Joliet state prison, whose policies
for "humanizing" prison administra-
ton are rapidly attracting widespread
attention.
1T is the silent man who conspires,"
declared Warden Allen today, in ex
planning his order permitting convicts
to converse with one another-an un-
heard of thing several years ago, and
even today considered proposterous By
many prison heads. Force a man
into moodiness by refusing to permit
him to talk to his fellows and he will
occupy his mind plotting. Give him a
chance to air his views among his
fellow prisoners, roast the country or
the prison administration as he sees
fit, and he will feel contented when he
gets through. Kicking is a great
American privilege and convict feels
like a human being when he has
chance to indulge in it to his hearts
content"
The honor system, according to
Warden Allen, will some day be in
vogue in every prison in America. He
put it into force when the first gang
of convicts was sent out on road work
near Dixon under the new state con-
vict labor law that went into effect
July 1. Forty convicts were in the
first gang. They will be employed on
road construction in Lee county until
December l and the warden declared
the honor system is to be used entirely
during the ninety day period.
"There is not a gun in the camp"
said the warden. "Of course, the men
send out on roadwork are among the
best prisoners and | would not be
afraid to send them without guards
to China, but l believe there are sey-
eral score more like them in the prison
work shops. They know they'll get
a chance at outside work if they're
good and they are being good"

yicts who are not baseball fans are
permitted to spend the time wrest-
ling or boxing. There is nothing to
curb the roofing of the fans but the
high walls and rigid rule against
profanity, and when two teams meet,
the comments of the fans can be
heard for several blocks
Warden Allen umpires most of the
games himself. He is probably the
least disputed umpire in the world.
When he is too busy to do the UNI
piring he assigns deputy or guard
to hold the indicator. A new diamond
is being constructed outside the walls
for the TRUSTEES"
Warden Allen also has adopted the
policy Of sepnding so much time
every day going about the prison
shops and factories where he min
giles with the men. The convicts
have come to look upon him as a
friend and adviser and they feel if
they "have crouch or kick" re-
garding their life in the prison he
courts criticism from them direct.
1--WE are not conducting a pleasure
resort here, by any manner of
means," said the warden today. "Jol-
let prison is a place where men are
incarcerated as punishment for
crimes against society. With the
punishment we strive to mete out 10
every man confined here a medicum
of human kindness and, if possible,
turn him from the pit into which he
has fallen and start him right. We
are not forgetting for single min
ute that these men are human beings.
We treat them as such"

HarbOr Plans Nearly COMPLETED.

LOS ANGELES, Sept 6.-Presi-

mission announced yesterday that
plans and specifications for three
large development projects at the har-
Dor will be completed within the next
week by Harbor Engineer Jubb, and
that it is planned to combine the
three projects in one contract. This,
he estimated, will result in a saving
of about 20 per cent to the city over
the plan of awarding the contracts
separately.
The projects include the cutting Of
the harbor boulevard through Mob
hill, the cutting down of Timms' point
and the reclamation of the city's 146.,
acre tract. Mr.. Woodman said that
proceedings to get this work started
will be begun just as soon as the nee

Objections to the provision giving

timid about using thir judgment in

bankers also objected to the govern

1t has often been remarked that the
average golfer involuntarily disquali-

holes through ignorance regarding the

players tee their ball wide of the tee
ing ground as provided in the rules,
and go blandly IN With their game
just as II nothing had happened:
In the rules of golf az adopted at
st. Andrews and approved by the
United States Golf association, we find
this definition Of the teeing-ground:

place for a hole. The front Of each
