HERE m INTEREST
OF PRISON REFORM


resenting the Anti-capital Punishment
league OF California, accompanied by
Victor l. Duhem. photographer. and
Miss n. Ewing. a student of sociology
at the University of California at
Berkeley. arrived In Canon City this
morning for the purpose OF studying
the honor system in vogue among the
convicts OF the Colorado state peni-
tentiiary and taking photographs Of
the work being done on the public
highways here. Films VIII be made de-
plotting the various prison road max
ing camps In this state and of high
way building by the convicts for the
purpose OF showing the people Of Cali
fornia by means OF moving pictures
what Is being done by convict labor in
this state In the hope that a reform
along that line can be brought about
In the penal institutions on the Pa
cihc coast.
Mr.. Morrell. who was at one time
an officer OF the California state pris-I
on at San QuintIn. is making a study
from a sociological and Industrial
standpoint Of the prison conditions in
the hve western states where the hon
or system is in operation. He has al
ready visited the state penIteatiaries
at Salem. Ore. walla waila. Wash.
and Florence. Ariz. After leaving here
he will inspect the Utah state prison
Although he visited practically all of
the larger penal institutions IN the
United States. he says the system OF
prison management in Colorado and
Arizona is the mos, advanced and hu-
manitarian In the country and give
the best results in reforming erimin-
ais.
California. according to Mr.. Nor
reii. has the largest per cent OF con-
vicfs behind prison walls Of any state
In the Union In proportion to its pop
ulation. due to the zeal OF the pudi-
ciary In IFS desire to carry out the let
ter Of the iaw.rather than the temper
ing Of justice with mercy. There are
within the penitentiaries and jails Or
the state between six and sesen tho5-
sand persons. OF whom more than two
hundred are women The state prison
At San ouintin Is the third or fourth
largest in the Omitted States and va
res In It's enrollmentof convicss FROM
e.lco to 2..cc. The state prison at Fol
som has an average OF ! .2oo prisoners
This remainder are in the county jaIls.
the Insleside Jail al sar Francisco
having between three and four hun
dred OF them.
Mr.. Morreil. who has vlsn,o most
o; the larger penal institutions OF the
country. asserts that between sixty
end seventy per cent OF the convie;s
OF the country are accidental Grim
inals and that between twenty and
thirty per cent OF the remainder are
mentally abnormal. and therefore ir-
responsible.
Mr. Morrei Is Of the opinion that
the penitentiarics at Florence. AriE-
and Canon City have the best system
o. administration OF any in the coun-
try and that their influence is destined
10 bring about reforms in the manage
ment OF prisons all over the land.

LEISCHMANNS.

Tleischmanns, n. y. June 1G-It has
been very quiet At Flelschmanns since
Memorial Day. but yesterday and to-day
brought few people to the hotels in this
section of the CatGkiI1s. and during the
last Wecl, there have been several of the
cottagerS arriving TO open their summer
homes. so the season is starting in at the
usual time. although there will not be
much activity here for the next two
weeks.
One Of the topics of conversation at the
present time is the Fourth of July cele-
bration, which the people of t1eischmanns
arc beginning TO advocate. BECAUSE
F!eischmanns has always taken the lead
among the cottages i'm the western Cats
Kills in celebrationg the rational holiday.
While all of the people here agree on
the fact that F1eschmanns should have
celebration on the Fourth, the opinions
on the moving of the postoffice, which is
another topic that is discussed TO a con-
siderable extent here, are not SO unani-
NOUS
The postoffice has been moved from its
former location TO the New Mountain
Casino Building. and while it is more con-
venient for the summer visitors 10
Fleischmanns it is not so convenient TO
the business people and residents Of the
place, and there is considerable resent
ment being shown against the change.
II. b. Harris, OF New York. has leased
the Orson Fuller cottage. on Wagner av..
and will occupy it during the season.
