OSBORNE TELLS OF HIS
REFORM AT SING SING
Addresses Athenaeum in Sum-
nit on Applying Rules of
Common Sense.
special to tho Evening star.

Special to the Evening Star.
SUMMIT, Nov. 12.-Thomas Mott
Osborne, warden of Sing Sing prison.
talking to members of the Atheneanm
last night on Common Sense in
Prison Reforms in the Lincoln
School, declared that the idea preva-
lent that there is criminal class,
either mentally, morally or physi-
cally, is absolutely erroneous.
There are criminals as a class
Honly such as a State makes confirmed
criminals out of prisoners" he said.
MY work at Sing Sing has two pur-
poses-one of the necessity of keep
ing prisoners in confinement as re-
quired by law, and tue other, but by
far the more important, is preparing
these prisoners for the time when
they shall be turned out into the
world in a frame of mind which is to
determine how they shall live.
have earned the ridicule of many
men, merely because I have given to
all prisoners that which / consider
their community right, privileges
which had, under the old system,
been accorded as favors to the few.
l have also incurred the enmity of
other men, who are secretly scheming
to undermine my work, because /
have interfered with grating in sup
plies, building properties, and in
many other ways.
Mr.. Osborne quoted statistics to
show that his management of Sing
Sing had resulted in a saving to New
York State, ranging from ten to
sixty-f1ve per cent. He presented
hospital statistics, showing also that
the number of hospital cases result
ing from prison disturbances were
much smaller than those given in the
newspapers.

Tame Dog Finds Wild Ones
Killing off Sussex Sheep

Special to the Evening Star.
NEWTON, Nov. 12.-About three
months ago dogs got into the flock
of sheep belonging to William R. Nor
ris on three different occasions and
killed total of fifteen sheep and
wounded five others. 1t was a mys-
terry whose dogs had done the killing,
as none of those in the neighborhood
showed any signs Of having been en-
gagged in the slaughter. A few nights
ago, however, the mystery was
cleared up, when about IL o'clock Mr..
Morris heard his own dog barking
fiercely, and, taking his gun, he found
his dog with two wild dogs cornered
in some brush below his mill. lie
blazed away and succeeded in killing
one of the dogs, but the other got

YOUNGSTOWN, Nov. 12. Though
the family Of Peter NJ. Tunis are firm
in the belief that the skeleton found
IN the woods at Weymouth the latter
part of last week and on Saturday
brought to a morgue in this place is
that of their father. others who say

day afternoon and went direct to

was the case.

out doubt to recognize some sewing
she had done on the trousers, and
the clothing which Mr.. Tunis was
Known to have purchased at Wana
makers contained buttons bearing
that name. DIR. Mccormack gave it
as his opinion that the bones had
laid out for q year. When Mr.. Tunis
went away he was known to have
had little more than dollar on his
person. In the trousers pocket S1.55

with it's plan to invade, the metropolis
in 1916. A site for the park and
stands has been bought ten blocks
from the Polo Grounds, home of the
Giants, and hackers of the venture

There have been opinions from
some quarters, mainly those favor

Feds could not get ready for 1916 at
this late date. But the local and the
Brooklyn grounds refute that theory.

Jim Coffey largely made up for his
defeat at the hands of Frank Moran
by slowing Gunboat Smith away in
the fourth round at New York. A
smashing right to the jaw sunk the
sailor man.
In the first three rounds Coffey had
the better of the milling, the gunner
being wild with his hard swings. He
was given as much punishment as he
inflicted and seemed bewildered by
the cool manner Coffey went about
his work. ........ -.-.
But when the knockout blow came
Coffey became excited, He appeared
surprised that he had put the sailor
away and for moment there was
danger that he would fail to follow

Sydney fire department to turn
out, and they had to give the an
CRY fans good drenching before
they would get out of the way

That riot gave Darcy so much
publicity that he just naturally
landed In the spotlight of Aus
tralian fightdom. He demanded
another fight with Holland in the
