ENJOY MORE PRIVILEGES
superintendent Riley Issues Or
der Establishing Three
Grades for Convicts.

ALBANY. June 24.-wardens Of the sew
eral state prisons were instructed by
Superintendent of Prisons Riley to-day
to reclassify the inmates into three grades
according 10 their behavior while In
prison. Heretofore convicts have been
distinguished only by the number of
terms they had served. and their privi-
leges in the prison were largely deter
mined by their conduct outside or the
number of telonies they had committed
for which they were imprisoned.
Under the new order all convicts who
have perfect behavior record in the
prison for six months and are likely TO
observe prison discipline are placed in
the mrs; grade. In the second grade those
who are reasonably obedient 10 prison
discipline will be placed. The incor-
rigible and confirmed siolators Of prison
discipline will he placed In the third
grade.
This new rule calls for the treatment OF
prisoners according TO their conduct while
in prison. The old system of designating
the men by the number OF terms they had
served and regulating their privileges &C.
cordingly deprived large number of de
serving convicts OF any prison rights al
