convalesccnt prisoners are put In soil
tary confinement. that prisoners blank
cts are foul and dirty and that they
are forced TO wear the same underwear

allowed five minutes to speak. lie TOOK
ten and then asked more. Supervisor
u Lectures II. VI. Leipziger put the
question 20 the audience and an incipi-
,1ft riot arose between Tannenbaum $
followers, who wanted to hear him, and
an equal number who did not. Tannen-

BEEKMAN SITE FAVORED.
Osborne Urges Tint u Re Secured
for New Prison.

Thomas Mott Osborne. warden of Sing
Sing. has written to GOV. Whitman
urging that the so-called Beekman site.
near Stormvlie, he acquired for "A new
prison as soon as the necessary legisla-
ton can be secured. Tho site is owned
by the state. and MIR. Osborne prefers IL
TO the Wingdale site. near Paving, on
the ground that the latter is unhealthy
and considerable part OF it is unfit for
farming.
, Both the sites mentioned are in
Duchess county and Warden Osborne
visited them recently with others inter-
ested in prison reform. The importance
Of the new prison having plenty OF good
soil for farming is emphasized by Mr..
Osborne, who says
LAS | understand IL. one OF the main
purposes of the proposed new prison is
TO give our prisoners the greatest prac-
tcable amount of open air work. There
Is nothing so renovating, nothing which
will so tend to restore the mental, moral
and physicai balance as healthy labor
out OF doors"
The money for the new prison has not
yet been appropriated.

BAREFOOT BURGLAR
SUSPECT IN JAIL

That Delphino Meriez, Mexican and
small of stature, is the barefoot burg
lar whose operations extended all over
the valley, is the belief expressed by
members of the sheriff's office this
morning.
Two discriminating pieces of evi
dence tel.d to substantiate this belief,
the first a knife identified by other
Mexicans as the weapon with which
the mysterious attack was made on
a sleeping Mexican on the east side
some weeks ago, and which belonged
to Morena, and the other the discovery
in Meriez's clothes of jewelry VIII ch
was stolen July 81 from the ranch
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Imfie,d,
112 miles south Of Meloland.
Imfield chased the marauder from
his home after the place had been
looted and caught a fleeting glimpse
of the burglar, whom he described as
short of stature.
The knife, claimed to be the prop
erty Of Morena, was discovered after
the crime. Other Mexicans after idan-
tifying the weapon were instructed by
officers 20 summon an officer m case
they hapnened TO encounter the owner
The meeting of Mer;ez and an
acquaintance came at Imperial as
Meriez was seated near the Southern
Pacific depot.
+ The acquaintance hastily sought an
officer and in few minutes returned
with Officer Robinson who placed
Meriez under arrest.
The susne"t is held at the county
Jail and officers are investigating the
case.
