OLD.FASHIONEDVICTORY
TAhMANY'S PREDICTION
Smith and Swami Sure Winners,
Says Tiger Secretary.

Thomas F. Smith, secretary Of Tam
many Hall, predicted yesterday an "old-
fashioned Democratic victory" at the
polls Tuesday. While he declined to
estimate pluralities, he said he was
confident that the entire Democratic
judiciary and county tickets would be
elected by an overwhelming vote.
Because Of the general public in
terest in the proposed new constitution
and the question OF equal suffrage" he
said, at has not been necessary for
the Democratic organization 10 expend
any effort in getting out the enrolled
party vote. This fact, tOgetho- with
IL. character Of the candidates who
have been placed upon the ticket. in
sures a Democratic victory next Tues
day by an Old-fashloned majority.
alfred +. Smith, the Shrievalty can
didate, has received the unanimous in
dorsement Of the daily press and the
unsolicited support Of the Citizens
Union. lie has conducted a dignihed
campaign, free from personalities. and
this has insured the support OF large
independent vote az well as that Of
many Republicans. Never in the his
tory Of New York County has there
been a candidate placed in the field by
either the Democratic or Republican
organization who has been accorded
the same spontaneous support from
citizens Of all classes and conditions.
Judge Swami IS likewise certain
Of an overwhelming plurality. His career
on the bench and the high regard in
which he - held both as jurist and a
lawyer made defeat remote possibility
from the beginning, even though the
ranks Of the Republican party were
not hopelessly divided between Mr.
Perkins and Mr. Moss"

TO MAKE SING SING
SELF-SUPPORTING
Change in System of Prison In
dustries To Be Proposed as
Result of New Inquiry.

In answer to DR.. Rudolph Diedling's
recent charge that prison conditions
in New York are steadily deteriorat-
ing" several bits Of good news for
Warden Osborne's boys in Sing Sing
were made public yesterday. 1t was
learned that a careful investigation,
financed by private subscription, is
under way to pave the way for changes
in the industries at Sing Sing, so that
the prisoners and the prison will be
self-supporting. Under the new
scheme il is possible that prisoners
will be able to contribute 10 the sup
port of their families.
Paul Kennedy, of $50 Park Avenue,
has been engaged as an expert by the
Prison Association of New YORK to
ascertain the legal market for prison
products under the state use system.
His constructive plan for putting the
industries on paying basis VIII be
referred to John B. Riley, Superin-
tendent of Prisons, and it is expected
that efforts will be made soon TO carry
out the plan.
Another boosting work for tho pris
ons is being carried on by Charles X.
Blatchly for the Prison Reform Asso-
citation. Under his direction the task
OF finding employment for discharged
prisoners has already been put on
successful footing. Employers are
more than ready to meet the ex-con-
vict half way, Mr.. Blatchly reports.
Each specific charge made by DR..
Diedling in his attack on Sing Sing
was answered yesterday in a long
statement issued by Richard NJ. Hurd,
president of the Lawyers Mortgage
Company, of SO Liberty Street. Mr..
Hurd is an associate OF DR.. Diedling
on the State Prison Commission, and is
also trustee Of the Prison Associa-
ton Of New York. He attacks the
Wow that prison conditions in New
York are deteriorating and disposes OF
the ALLEGED insinuations about inn
morality among Sing Sing convicts by
declaring that moral conditions
among The prisoners have improved
vastly since the introduction of Os-
borne methods"

TOMBS NETS SET
In WAR ON DRUGS
Screens and Air Space
Separate Prisoners
from Visitors.
PLAN A FAILURE
AT SING SING
Prevention of Smuggling Com.
bined with Economy, Is Idea
of DR.. Davis.

Commencing to-day Katharine B.
Davis. Commissioner of Corrections,
and Warden John ]. Hanley will put
eighteen inches of air and thick wire
screens between prisoners in the
Tombs and all visitors who call at the
prison. A new visitors house, with
an entrance on Leonard Street, will
be formally opened by Commissioner
Davis at 10 a. m.
This new method Of regulating the
visiting privilege is expected to end
the smuggling of narcotics. weapons
and tools to priso1ers. Commissioner
Davis also believes that under the new
system the warden will have safer
method OF handling visitors. and that
fewer keepers will be required A
similar system Of screening off visitors
was abolished at Sing Sing when War
den Osborne found that instead of do
ing away with the narcotic nuisance
il rather concentrated the illicit drug
trade in the hands of few unscrupu-
lous keepers.
A building in the Jail yard, used as
the warden's house up to 1909, found
unsatisfactory as a prison hospital
and finally used as a storehouse, has
been rebuilt as the visitors house. Ii
contains three tiers Of cells, with sew
enteen cells on each tier. Each cell
has steel-barred door in back, steel
sides, and closely meshed wire screen
in the window through which the pris-
oner may speak to visitor. Extend.
ing in front Of the row Of cells, eigh-
teen inches away, is a row of visitors
booths, each containing a chair. Every
half hour ffty-one visitors will enter
the stalls from the rear and talk with
the prisoners brought to the cells op
posite.
Owing TO the thick wire screen, 4,
will hardly be possible for a prisoner
to see his wife or children In the
booth only few inches away. Each
prisoner will be allowed two visitors
a day. One keeper will be stationed
on each floor of the visitors house
and two keepers at the Leonard Street
entrance will take the names Of al
visitors. A matron and keeper will
be assigned to search visitors to sec
that no weapons are carried into thu
booths.
1t is estimated that as many as l ,00'
persons visit the Tombs every day, in
GLIDING relatives and friends of the
inmates. lawyers, detectives and repre-
sentatives of the District Attorney:
Office. Under the new system, Warden
Hanley will be able to separate the

Employees Counsel Protests.
Alfred J. Talley appeared at yester,,
days hearing for the 100000 men ana
women employees Of the city and de-
nounced the system OF STANDARDIZATION.
He said it had come to mean the reduc-
ton of the salaries of men and women
who had given their lives TO the city.
which often meant the destruction OF
homes and self-respect.
Mayor Mitchell replied to Mr.. Talley,,s
criticism, and pointed out that stand
ardization meant the increase OF sal
aries as well as reduction. lie SAID
that the human clement had been taken
into consideration in every appeal that
had been heard by the budget commit
tee of the Board Of Estimate, and that
in nearly all such cases the employe
had been given the benefit of the doubt.
The Mayor declared that the incom-
plete figures now in hand showed the
increases were greater than the de-
creases.

PERKINS ATTACKS
NlOSS AND TIGER
Former Assistant Working
for Tammany as Well as
Swami, Says Attorney.

District Attorney Charles A. Per
kins spoke at five meetings last night
in his campaign for election to his
present office. Addressing a large
meeting at the Yorkville Casino, 210
East Eighty-sixth Street, he said:
The failure Of the Tammany can
didate to attack the manner in which
| have conducted the District Attor-
neys Office is a sure indication that
Tammany can find no true grounds
for criticising its efficiency, and 1t is
efficiency that the public requires. II
Judge Swami is elected, the men whom
he will appoint to conduct the various
bureaus in the Criminal Courts Build
ing will be workers for Tammany Hall,
and not workers for the people of this
county.
"He said that if he is elected TO he
District Attorneyship he will be the at
torney for the defendant as well as the
ton. My Office has always made 1t a
policy to investigate all charges care
fully in order to prevent, if possible,
an innocent man from suffering i'm
prsonment. or the disgrace accom-
panied by an indictment or the filing
of an information.
Judge Swami proposes-if elected T.
to reorganize the staff of the Office. He
gives no particular reason for desiring
such q reorganization; none other than
q political reason has been suggested.
| think that fact is significant, and one
which the people of this county
should consider when making up their
minds as to how they will vote next
Tuesday"
Referring to the candidacy Of Frank
Moss, former Assistant District Attor-
ney, Mr.. Perkins said:
80 far as Mr.. Moss is concerned. he
is simply making grotesque figure OF
himself and playing a role which does
not deceive any thinking man. 1t does
not deceive Mr.. Moss himself. To
paraphrase the expression OF the
famous old Tammany chief, Mr.. Gro
ker, il might will be said, He is work
ing for Tammany's pocket all the
time Why Mr.. Moss, who has prided
himself on his enmity to Croker and
Devery. should now rally to the cause
of Murphy. their successor, Is q ques..
ton which Mr.. Moss can best explain.
The other meetings at which Mr.. Per
kins spoke were at the Progress Ca
sino. in Avenue A. and the 18th, 2'tn
and 18th Assembly District Republican
clubs.
