NEW ARMY PRISON POLICY
Serious Offenders Will Be Sep
arated From Military Offend
.ers by innovation.

An innovation in army administration
whereby general prisoners convicted
OF penitentiary offenses are to be sep
arated in military prisons from purely
military offenders was made effective
today in orders issued by the War De-
partment.
The effect of these orders. which are
the result Of the combined labors Of
Secretary Garrison. Judge Advocate
General Crowder and Maj. Gen. Wood.
chief of staff of the army. will be to
enroll the purely military offenders
into disciplinary companies in which
the honor and merit system will pre-
vail. the object being to reclaim the
men for subsequent careers Of honor
and usefulness either in the army or
in civil life.
In furtherance of that policy, re-
viewing authorities will designate a
penitentiary as the place for the con-
finement of the serious offenders, ex-
cept in special places in which cir
cumstances show that their imprison-
ment with misdemeanants and military
offenders will not be to the detriment
of the latter. The course OF military
ciplinary organizations will include
such subjects as physical training. per-
sonal hygiene, the school of the SOL
dfer, including drills and rife practice:
guards and scouting. The orders
further provide that hereafter MEM
bers of the disciplinary guard shall
wear a uniform designated by the Sec
rotary of War.
These orders will affect the military
prisoners at Fort Leavenworth, KAN;
at Castle William, Fort Jay, N. Y, and
at Alcatraz, Cal.

PARCEL POST EXTENSION
OPPOSED BY RAILROADS
Contend They Are Not Receiving
Just Compensation for Carry
ing the Mails.

Railroad oufclalS throughout the cOun-
try are protesting against the extension
Of the parcel post system and the increas-
ed weight limit on postal shipments. The
contention Of the railroads is that they
are not receiving sufficient compensation
for their services in carrying the mails.
The new postal regulations, they assert,
have resulted in material increases in
the tonnage Of mail, which the railroads
are compelled to haul, and the Post
Office Department should increase its
appropriation for this service.
Annual Deficiency Estimated.
In a recent communication addressed
to the Postmaster General by a commit
tee Of railroad executives the carriers
contended that the transportation lines
are underpaid by at least S15,OOO,OO0 an
nually. and that a fair adjustment should
be made looking to just payment for
the services which the railroads render
The railroad interests further contend
that their revenues for transporting the
mails were reduced about ) per cent, or
to the amount Of $15.OO0.O0O. in 1907 by
administrative order, and that In addition
to the new burdens Of the parcel post ex-
tension the railroads will suffer an actual
loss of cash which they received hereto
fore from the express companies for car.
rying traffic which Is now being handled
by the postal department.
An interesting sidelight in substantial
ton OF the contention of the railroads
with regard to the parcel post regulations
Is presented by the experience of a Wash
tngtonian, whose wife recently sent him a
lunch composed Of fresh foodstuffs from
the country, where she is spending the
summer. The package consisted of bread,
butter, fried chicken and other farm del
tcacies The parcel weighed pound. II

Gel post system. Ny experience demon
strated clearly that 1t will be possible for
Washington people to get fresh butter
and chicken from Oakland and other

70 get fresh poultry and provisions from
the farmers 800 miles away Is readily real
lied especially when the produce can be
mailed in the afternoon and delivered al
the door in time for breakfast the next
morning. A twentypound package can
be shipped in this way for "a cents, but
this virtually means that the railroads
will perform their part of the service
without compensation. for under the new
regulations they get no part OF the post
age fee paid to the government.
