Former experirnen in siIk-worm breeding have failed because it was impossible to acc1imatize the mulberry tree.

sage of any constitutional amendment
that will deprive the Legislature Of the

The letter also made a demand for

1.-THE newspapers Of August 3 report
an address by William Barnes, of Al

Osborne Talks to Church
Crowd; Insists He'll Stay

Thomas Mott Osborne does not eN-
pect to be relieved as warden of Sing
Sing prison, judging from his remarks
( to the mems club of the Greenburgh
PRESBYTERIAN Church at DObbs Ferry
last evening.
Il hope to do better next year If
my health is spared" he said with 2
smile to the crowd Of more than 800
persons gathered on the church lawn
to hear him. And my health is very
good at present" he added, as the au-
dience laughed and applauded.
This was the only reference Mr..
Osborne made to the controversy he
has had with Superintendent Riley.
He prepared the conyicts in his charge
for his possible departure last week,
but later events have made 1t seem
that his speech to them Was merely d
precautionary measure.
TIE warden made his forecast Of
better work next year after be had de-
scribed the brutality with which pris-
oners were formerly treated and had
/ told Of the growth of the prison in
dustries and of the amclOratlon of
general prison conditions during his
'Thc cells at Auburn prison are
damp" he said, but those at Sing Sing
are a damn sight damper. II Is one
of the greatest crimes Of civilization
that those cells should be inhabited.
The brutality of the old days, though,
has gone forever"
Mr.. Osborne answered some Of the
criticism that was made Of his disci-
plinary methods after three prisoners
had escaped from Sing Sing at differ
ent times.
Remember. Pm no sentimentali5t,"
he said, contradicting thee statement
that is pcrh&ps most often made by
his critics LAS warden of Sing Sing
prison, my obligations are not chiefly
to the inmates, who happen 20 have
lost their privileges for various rca-
sons. but to society. One OF my obhga-
tons is to see that the men stay IN
prison.
~ a prisoner escapes from Sing
sing all the papers print II or The
front page. But if convict escapes
from Danucmora prison, as one ala the
other day, you never hear about II.
So when you read of an escape. just
remember there viii always be some
failures
Mr. Osborne related with evident
pleasure an interview he once had
with a convict who took exception TO
some of the methods employed by
Charles Murphy, the Democratic boss.
lie apologizcd A. he told the story,
for being a little personal.
The convict, according to the war
den's story, wanted to know if Mr.. Os-
borne thought there were any honest
crooks
"Now, Just look at Charlie Murphy
said the convict "Why, the last time
! got out of prison ! voted twenty-five
times. And do you know what | got for
IT,? Just So And Charlie Murphy got
1t all lie amt no honest crook"
At the conclusion of Mr. Osborne's
speech, the Mems Club passed a resolu-
ton 10 send Governor Whitman a tele-
graph message of congratulations on
being able TO retain such man As
warden of Sing Sing. They also made
Mr. Osborne an honorary member OF
the club
