At work on Reforms.

Miss Davis has done the best she
could with the funds allowed her under
the fixed limiting physical conditions,
and is pushing her programme OF re-
organization and reconstruction as fast
as the Board Of Estimate is able To fur-
nish the financial resources. In the
meantime she has been bending her ut
most efforts to the correction OF long
standing abuses and the improvement
of administrative methods.
The penitentiary is an inheritanc" OF
earlier and less enlightened days For
its physical defects and inadequacy Miss
Davis and this administration are not
responsible. Warden Hayes. 1t is true
belongs to the old and more stringent
school OF penologists to which Miss
Davis does not belong, but she informs
me that no ground for charges or action
against Warden Hayes has even been
brought to her knowledge. We do not
remove civil service employees "i loh'
standing without substantial cause.
Miss Davis informs me. and | am
aware myself, that many Of the recon-
mendations of the commission have long
since been put in process of adoption
by Miss Davis-that the commission
must have known when IL attempted to
give the impression that these are It,
own ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS many
others cannot be carried into effect with
out additional appropriations and addi-
tional employees.
I'VE are attempting TO carry OUT
prison reforms in New York city just As
fast and just as vigorously as the re-
sources which the Board OF Estimate
provides viii permit. II is Il problem OF
finances and additional taxes rather
than one Of administration"
Justice Brady criticised Miss DAVIS
for having OverSecr Moore put on t".al
before two men az her " choice. From
the record of the trial he deduccd that
Miss Davis acted as prosecutor rather
than as judge. He said the trial was a
waste of time and energy at considerable
expense 10 the city.

Criticises.
OVERSEER'S TRIAL UNFAIR

Miss Katharine Davis was praised by
Mayor Mitchell yesterday and chided by
Justice John J. Brady of the supreme
Court in The Bronx.
The Mayor defended his Correction
Commissioned against the attack made
upon her administration by the state
Prison Commission last week. Justice
Brady accused her of not giving a fair
trial to Martin J. Moore. overseer Of the
Harris Island reformatory. who was dis
missed on March -.
At the same time the Justice refused
to grant Moore a writ Of mandamus
for reinstatement. saying that he had no
right to override Miss Davis.
Mayor Mitchell, in n statement which
he sent to the city Hall from Ashokan,
said the Prison Commissions investiga-
ton of the Blackwell's Island %peniten-
tiary was political with a purpose
tina purpose being the ousting of War
den Hayes. The Mayor continued:
Miss Davis has recognized from the
first that the penitentiary is physically
unfit and ~unsanitary. Her programme
II carried out by the Board of Estimate,
will wipe out that institution on Black
wells Island and transfer the prisoners
to new and sanitary quarters, where
the modern principles of corrective
penology can be applied.

HAM LEWIS RANTINC
AGAINST AMERICANS

tinued. there has been. nothing In
America which the native-born could
find to praise. Everything has been
unworthy Of support or credit. This
order OF universal condemnation has
been divided into two classes:
First, the powerful, holding their
power from wealth or the accident Of
position, could SEE nothing in the de-
mand Of the masses for justice ex-
cept the Cry Of anarchy. They ever
condemned the effort to equalize the
privileges and opportunities OF men
as the protest of socialism. They
concluded their arraignment of the
poor for justice, the middle class for
opportunity. and those who struggled
for the Acknowledgement Of the laws
of man and God, as either ignorance
or crime.
Here began the first damnation
by one set of Americans of the other
class in order to avoid listening. to
their complaints or respecting their
grievances. Then followed the NAT
'ural revenge. The under classes
cried out their condemnation against
everything that was property or PROS
porous. This retaliation took the
form OF accusation against all law
makers as crooks. the Impeachment
OF officials as embezzlers, and juce-
ment and execution against ali ati-
thority. political or religious, or pos
sessions; earned or. inherited.
Then there arose IN the conmun-
ity self-selected leaders, who TO ar:-
vance their ambitions for ONCE or
for noisy recognition, capitalized
these roarings OF discomfort under tho
hue and cry Of Down with socie-
ty-Death to the courts-Contemn,
Tor the lava scoff at religion and
a defiance Of God. N
The result was that in the las,
twenty years the newborn American
and the imported American has
known nothing of America excent
that It was place where all othar
Americans certified there were M
men OF honor, no things Of decencvl
no Institution in which any man
could have a purpose except to over
throw as being. unworthy.

ing the right OF suffrage taken from
him. To this there should be addeo
the further law. enforcing upon al
who have enjoyed the benefits Of nat.
uralfzation the duty to comply with
citizenship as loyal Americans, and
prescribing that any citizen whose
conduct Is such as to be unworthy OF
OF such fact have the citizenship with.

With these two remedies reserved q
