SHERIFFS PROFIT
FROM PRISON FARE,
PROBER DECLARES
Secretary of Pennsylvania
Society Scores Penal Sys-
tenn in Report Following
Investigation.

Flagrant abuses on the part Of sherirs
and wardens in many county prisons OF
PENNSYLVANIA in the feeding of prisoners
are disclosed in a report Of A. II. votaw.
secretary of the Pennsylvania Prison
Society, made public today.
MIR. Votaw made tour of the county
prisons during the last six months. He
says jaiIers in frequent cases are In
clined to use their offices as a means Of
gain in supplying food.
There is said to be an appalling amount
Of waste resulting from penal methods
in force in Pennsylvania. The report
adds that idleness on the part of pris-
oners Is prevalent in majority of jails.
putting n tremendous burden on the
public for the upkeep of prisons.
In the prisons of Pennsylvania, the re-
port states, prisoners are stamped as
criminals and their records are con-
stantly before them.
The report discloses the alleged evils
of the Zee system" for supplying food
for prisoners now in force In so many
of the county jails. This system Is said
In many cases to lead to abuses. Under
It the Sheriff or Warden Is paid GER
tain sum by the county to feed the
prisoners.
the officials would be inclined to hedge
In order to make a profit in the trans
action. One county might be instanced
I'm which 30 cents per day per prisoner
is paid to the Sheriff who feeds his
prisoners on bread and coffee every day,
but provides a dish of soup with meat
and vegetables three times weekly.
'In this county the profits must be
considerable. The men confined In this
prison who happen to have money or
friends may add by purchasing or other
wise to their restricted diet 1t may be
presumed that in some counties the
prison fare Is entirely avoided by pris-
oners who have money TRUSTEES often
take orders for these prisoners"
SUGGESTS PURCHASING BY CON-
TRACTS.
A system known as the Contract sys-
tenn" Is advocated by Mr.. Votaw. Under
this plan the food would be purchased
in the open market by contract.
After deducting all receipts from arti-
cles the net cost for keeping prisoners
is estimated at Sl,OOOOO0.
The average daily population of the
prisons is 6l+0. OF these the number in
idleness every day is estimated to be
1862 This represents the equivalent of
100000 idle days. At so cents n day
the earning capacity for each prisoner
per day, now lost, would be 100000
"Idleness is the bane OF our county
prisons" the report continues. "The pris-
oners have every opportunity for vicious
conversation and for teaching iniquty.
Silence Is no longer advocated. These men
should be put to work with an overseer
of good moral fibre, who should give
some attention to the conversation and
present a wholesome influence.
"At present we support these prisoners
in futile inactivity and are often obliged
to support many of their families. FIRE.
quently when a Judge sentences a man
to a term in prison under our present
form of penal servtude he at the same
time sentences his family to destitution
and demoralzing pauperism."

Cambria Against Penrose

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. Oct. 19,-One of the
leaders in District No. ., U. NJ. w. A.,
which embraces Cambria County, was
informed a few days ago that rumors
were afoat that orders had gone out to
the miners for the support Of Senator
Penrose at the coming election. This
man, whose reputation extends beyond
the district, denied that any such instruc-
tIons had been issued.

majority of the miners in this district
vote as they believe they will be against
Pcnrose and for either Pinchot or Palm
er. I consider Progressive and Democratic
sentiment about evenly divided, with PEN
rose sentiment greatly in the minority"
Politics is talked less among the min
ers Of this district this fall than for
years. This is due declared sub
district official. 10 the fact that the many
miners out of work are paying more at
tention to their own economy and domes-
tic problems and less to politics. While
the argument of political orators has been
that a near free trade tariff has been the
cause OF the business depression, this
does not appear 10 renew the miners af-

TRIBUTE TO PEACE
POLICY OF WILSON
Former President Commends
Course of His Successor in
Holding Aloof From For

WASHINGTON, oct. 2o.-wth an ad-
dress of welcome by Presd mt Wilson,
the annual convention Of the American
Bar Association opened in this city to-
day. 1t will probably prove the largest,
and in many respects the most impor-
tnnt. gathering Of lawyers tho nation has
seen in many years. Special significance
is attached to the discussions Of inter-
national law, as bearing upon the present
European conflict. OF which there are
several on the program
Ex-Presdent TAFT who is president Of
the Bar Association. followed the brief
Introductory speech Of President Wilson
with his annual add ss. He paid a
marked compliment to the neutrality
stand of the President in the present
European conflict and his consistent ef-
forts in the interest of peace.
while we stand sghast at this awful
welter of blood, destructive OF the hap
piness of Europe" he said, I'VE are pro-
foundly grateful for our splendid tsola-
tion and the freedom from entangins
alliances which Washington enjoined upon
the American people
In praising President Wilson for his
warning to the American people to OBJ
serve his neutrality plea to the letter,
Taft said:
In this appeal he should have the
warmest approval and the sincerest CO.
operation OF all OF us"
THE language Of the President" he
continued. "in which he declined to be
drawn into a decision or the expression
of an opinion on the complaints Of bell
ligerents. was most admirable and show
ed to the world that We do not intend
to be drawn into this controversy in any
way; that while we are willing to as
sist as much as possible in bringing
about peace. our attitude as judges can
not be invoked until we are given formal
authority with a stipulated condition by
the parties to abide the Judgment"
The former President lauded the Bryan
peace treaties.
Mr.. Taft aimed shaft at former Pres-
dent Roosevelt in speaking Of the argu-
ments used by those trying to secure a
judicial recall.
"They were Incorporated in the plat
form of the Progressive party" he said
land the leader of the party has felt
called upon to declare that they were
the rock upon which 1t was founded.
. II would appear that the party
now finds instead Of being the rock
on which it is founded it IS, to change
the metaphor, the rock on which 1t
founders"
