FORMER MATRON TELLS
HOW BOYS ARE FLOGGED

Mrs. Augustus Walker, for six years a
matron at the National Training School
for Boys, in a statement to The WASH
ington Herald last night, substantiated
the claims made before the Chamber of
Commerce on Tuesday night by DIR. Louis
J. Battle to the effect that the inmates
of the training school are subjected to
logging with a piece Of rubber hose at
the hands Of the officers Of the institu-
ton.
The floggings are administered, accord
ing to Mrs. Walker, by the huskiest and
strongest men in the school, and many
times the boys are not told for what
offense they are beaten.
''The officers usually took It for grant,
ed." said Mrs. Walker, that the boys
knew what they were being fogged for,
is so trivial that the child La at a loss
to know for what he is being punished"
Mrs. Walker then described some of
the methods of the institution.
when an officer decides a certain boy
should receive corporal punishment, either
for a real or an imaginary offense," she
said, "he makes out a slip, which is pre-
sented to the officer in charge Of the
institution. If It Is approved by this off,
Ger he signs the slip, and the boy is then
called away from his fellows and taken
in room, where the punishment is ad-
ministered."
THE limit is ten strokes with the
rubber hose, which Is ABOUT three feet
long and about half an inch thick, al
though 1 have known some boys to
receive as high as. twenty for the
same offense. Sometimes they are
given the limit of ten, and then re-
called the following day and given ten
more.
When asked If the rules prescribed
the offenses for which flogging should
be administered. Mrs. Walker said this
form Of punishment was used for yari-
Gus kinds Of alleged offenses.
zone of the things that impressed
me- she added. was the fact that,
while the rules strictly forbade the
boys to use tobacco in any form, the
officers were permitted to chew and
smoke in their presence, many Of whom
had acquired the habit before being
brought to the institution. If a boy,
by some form of scheming, had OBJ
tanned chew of tobacco and was
caught with it in his mouth he was
invariably flogged and always by the
huskiest and strongest man in that
family. The six wards of the institu-
tion are called families. and each is in
charge of two men officers and ma

(From the Chicago Tribune.)

to be. 1t is what Hughes did when he
was free to lead and to legislate, in
the degree that an executive may that

Garner who can see beyond the end of
his nose.
1t is we'll to set up against Mr..
Gompers' statement the following edi-
torial from the Legislative Labor News
the organ of the New York Federation
of Labor, published when Mr.. Hughes
left Albany for the supreme court.
Now that Governor Hughes has re-
tired from politics and assembled to a
place on the highest judicial tribunal
in the world, the fact can be acknowl-
edged without hurting anybody's poll
teal corns that he was the greatest
friend of labor laws that ever occupied
the governors chair at Albany. Dur
ing his two terms he has signed Sc
labor laws, including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted in this
or any other state.
HE also urged the enactment OF
labor laws in his message to the legis-
lature, even going so far as to place
the demand for a labor law in one of
his messages to an extra session of
the legislature.
"Only 1872 labor laws have been en-
acted in this state since it's erection in
1777-in 1873 years. One third of these
exceeding in quality all of the others
have been enacted and signed during
Governor Hughes term of three years
and nine months"
Mr.. Gompers' case against Hughes /:
not one which need be taken seriously
or will be, by the wage Garner who ha:
knowledge and a memory, or who II

record and party tendencies involved
If deeds and not words are the test
neither the republican candidate no
his party need fear the test. AS MI

and conscience, and If American labo
cannot confide its cause to his roc

zette, a description of the tapping OF
the water in the Sutro tunnel, as pub
lished recently by the HALEY Qdaho)
Times, is of interest;
I'm the latter '7Os the newspapers
had column after column relating TO
the tapping of water in the Sutro tun-
mel. The bore was being driven five
miles to the great Comstock lode and
a shaft had been sunk every mile from
the surface to the tunnel level the
intention being to drive both ways
from each shaft in order to complete
the tunnel as rapidly as possible. The
shafts draining a vast watershed, the
huge pumps could not handle the
water which compelled the shutting
down of all the shafts. Work was
then confined to single heading from
the mouth of initial point Of the tun-
mel. When the heading reached to
within 800 feet of shaft No. dia-
mond drill extracting a solid core was
used to test the ground. Some Of it
proved to be andesite, some porphyry
with slickensides between. A drill hole
262 feet long and two inches in diam
eter tapped the water, which had filled
about a mile of tunneling eight by
twelve feet and 1900 feet of the three
compartment shaft No. 2. The head
er was in about two miles and the
mule drawn cars in which the miners
were hauled in and out were waiting
them as near as was safe.
As Chief Engineer Carl o. Wede-
kind gave the word the compressed air
was turned off, the men jumped on the
cars and the chief engineer returned
all alone to the face of the header to
give the final strokes that would tap
the water, once the men were safe.
After silently shaking his hand and
then giving him three rousing cheers
the miners would have stayed but
were peremptorily ordered away.
A few minutes later the water rush.
ed out the mouth of the tunnel in a
stream two by eight feet and was
above the car wheels when the miners
came to the open. OF the 300 en-
ployes of the tunnel fully one half
were married and every mother, wife,
child and man in town was at the
tunnel mouth expecting to see the
heroic chaps inside come floating out,
dead. The scene which ensued beg
gars description. The women chung
to their men as if they had risen from
the dead, the children grabbed them by
the legs and everybody was weeping,
cheering and smiling. Some women
even became hysterical and required
the services of the company physician
who was present.
Presently the engineer came out on
his little car drawn by the small mule
that had served him for months He
was pale but evidently quite cool. The
stage of water was then a couple oI
inches higher than his seat. Th'
women, unheeding, waded in to fran
tically hug and kiss him-much to hi
disgust-as when he had gone in the!
had threatened and told him he neet
not come out unless their men wer'
safe as they would hang him.
| At that time this tapping of a col
umn of water mile long and 100
feet high was considered one Of tn
greatest engineering feats of the world

Draining the Comstock Lode---Sutro
Tunnel, and Great Service 1t Performs

OF vital importance to the deep level
mining operations or the Comstock
lode is the Sutro tunnel, a fact that
Ia probably not generally realized. for
IL is by means of this famous adit that
an outlet Is furnished for the large
volume of water that Is raised by the
powerful electric pumping plants, To-
Gated at the C. & c. shc.ft, and in the
ophir- Mexican winze. 1t is also the
outlet for the water pumped from the
Gold Hill mines, forming an integral
part <of a great system of drainage
that is not surpassed, II. In fact, equal
ed in any mining camp of the west
The distance from the discharge
nine at the G. & C. shaft into the north
lateral branch of the tunnel to the
portal at Sutro Is five miles, and OF
about the same distance from the con-
nection with the jacket mine in the
south lateral tunnel.
Some years ago, vast sum of
money was expended in placing the
tunnel In first-class repair, through
out its nine miles of underground
workings, which extend from Sutro in
the Carson river valley to the Union
shaft connection at the north in Vir-
ginia City, and to the Alta shaft on the
south in lower Gold Hill. The tunnel
is being maintained in fine condition
in full harmony with the march of
events throughout the lode.
Under former conditions, the hot
water from the lower levels was
pumped into the tunnel and it was
not long before the steam had raised
havoc with the timbering, the latter
rapidly disintegrating and falling into
decay This was all changed with
the installation of a large wooden
stave pipe, dipped in a preparation to
preserve 1t, and the water discharged
into the tunnel is now conveyed on
its long journey in the steam tight
conduit, proving 1t to be a practical
success.
The tunnel drains all the mines
above the 1900 level, and the water
from below is pumped to this point,
thus doing away with raising it to the
annually It is extremely doubtful if
deep mining would be possible from an
economical standpoint but for the
Sutro tunnel. 1t is thus performing
the functions of it's projectors in a
manner wholly in keeping with the
original plans and has prolonged, and
is serving the purpose of the life of
the Comstock for many years.
Not only is the Sutro tunnel fully
equipped for the drainage of the mines,
but it Is able to handle an almost I'M
limited amount of tramming, tracks
extending from Sutro through the en-
tire length of the big bore. In re-
cent years, the tunnel has been used
by several of the mines as work.
