NEW DETENTION HOUSE
BILL PASSES IN SENATE
Measure, if 1t Becomes Law, Will
Protect All Unconvicted
Prisoners

There was general qualification today
among those interested In bettering the
conditions of the unfortunate when II was
learned that the herding of untried prison
ers and witnesses with the worst class
of criminals at Moyamensing Prison would
soon be done away with.
Passage of a bill by the Senate in Har-
risburg yesterday providing for the estab-
lishment of houses of detention for per-
sons charged with crime or witnesses in
any judicial proceeding.
Although the habit OF pling prisoners in
with veteran criminals at Moyamensing has
been condemned for years no definite ac-
ton was taken until the passage of the
bill yesterday. 1t was presented by Rep
resentative Stern and had the support of
prominent criminologsts, judges and law
yers who have been acquainted with the
methods at Moyamensing for years
Among other things the bill provides for
a board of managers consisting of six mem
bers-three to be appointed by judges Of
the Courts Of oyer and Terminer and three
by the Municipal Court judges. The board
will hold Office for two years without COM
pensaton.
The selection of a site for the institution
will be made by the board. 1t is specified
in the bill that the institution shall be so
arranged and constructed that persons de-
tanned therein may have. as far as possible,
comfortable and separate rooms for their
accommodation and be subject to as little
restraint as may be consistent with their
safe detention.
The bill directs judges and magistrates
to commit persons held for trial and wit
nesses to the house of detention.

Dried vegetables can be stored
easily, shipped easily, and do not
freeze in winter Small quantities,
too trifling for canning, can be saved
by drying. Dried vegetables are truly
palatable and often better than the
canned product.
In this season of abundance, the

put up ample supplies of dried fruit

large quantities of tomatoes are

The league points out that much OF
