PROPOSED
Report National Conference Of Char
tiles and Corrections Outlines
Modern Methods Of Deal
ing With Offenders
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Memphis, Tenn, May 12,-The hu-
name method Of treating the misde-
meanant. outlined in the report of the
committee on correction of the ma
tional conference Of Charities and Cor
rections in session here, was given
enthusiastic endorsement by the sew
eral hundred delegates representing
the vanguard Of this country's socio-
logical doctors, in attendance here to-
day The report, submitted by Amos
". Butler. secretary to tie board of
state charities in Indiana. before out
lining the program, paid the following
tribute to the present system OF deal
ing with misdemeanant.
I'VE know that jails are the spoil
OF partisan politics. They are main
tanned largely on the fee basis. Most
OF them we're built without any prop
er idea OF the purpose they were in
tended to serve. AS a rule they are
unsanitary, they lack provision for sep
arating the sexes and there is no
means of employment. Often they are
crowded far beyond their capacity.
There is little attempt to classify the
prisoners. They congregate in the
corridors and the older and more ex-
perienced in criminal ways instruct
the others in vice, immortality and
crime In how many such institutions
are women not only waited upon but
searched by men,"
"The while question Of the appre-
hension. treatment aad release of the
misdemeanant is of tremendous i'm
portance. While prison reforms are
coming with surprising rapidity, they
have been confined largely to the
felon. The misdemeanant has been
neglected
Humanizing the courts is an ex-
preston coming more and more into
use. Instead of sending to Jail men
who are unable to pay their fines,
judges are releasing them conditional
~ and giving them chance to earn
the money. The plan works admir-
ably Judges are finding that their
confidence is seldom misplaced This
principle has recently been enacted
into law in Massachusetts. Elsewhere
it has been practiced without special
authority of law.
"We are further coming to believe
that too many persons are sent to
prison. Some states have adopted a
system OF probation, under which
many law breakers are reclaimed to
soci ty without the stigma of prison
sentence. Probation has been success
fully tried in Massachusetts, New
York and other states.
we have learned, too. the value Of
the farm colony for the open air EN-

Growers McNabb Will
Give Assistance

homa with jobs in the harvest fields is
a work that has been undertaken by

data concerning the needs of the
wheat growers in Grady county. Il
learn that about 200 men and so teams
will be needed in the vicinity of Po-
casset when harvest gets under way
said he 1t is estimated that there
are $4,000 acres of wheat to be har-
vested in that section.
While he was here, Mr.. Vance had
a conference with C. A. McNabb
agent of the farm bureau, and the lat
ter promised to cooperate with him
in ascertaining the needs of the farm
ers.
''No man who wants a job in the
harvest and no farmer who needs
hands should pay out cent to get
what he wants. Our bureau offers its
services absolutely free and all that is
required is to call on us. Farmers and
all others should report to Mr.. Nc
Nabb or to our office directly We
want to know how many acres of
wheat the farmer has, how many men
and teams he will need and what
wages he will probably pay. The state
maintains this bureau and the people
should take advantage of it,"
Mr.. Vance is starting on a trip coy
ering the southern and southwestern
part Of the state and W. G. Ashton. as
sistant labor commissioner. has gone
to the northern and northwestern part
of Oklahoma to gather data concern
ing the number of men that will be
needed in the wheat fields.

New York. May William Sapir-
ro, driver of the auto in the Rosenthal
murder was witness today in the
second Becker trial, and he told the
story of the tragedy, including the fol-
lowing conversation between the four
gunmen as they neared the scene Of
the murder:
Il heard one of the boys say, |
think 1t was Whitley Lewis. Have the
chauffeur turn his car round and wait.
The cops are all fixed. Becker will
fix EN- Everything is all right "
Becker lost the first point in the
trial when Justice Seabury ruled that
this testimony could go into the record
over the protest of counsel
Baldy Jack Rose repeated his testi-
mony in the first trial, saying that
Becker broke with Rosenthal when the
gambler refused to pay Becker $500 as
his part OF the profits Of his gambling
house.
