ILLINOIS HAS IMPROVEMENTS
 IN NEW PRISON

Joliet, H., July S.-Sunlight for every cell and individual washbow1s with hot and cold water are con-. veniences to be found within the new cylindrical state prison at Statesville. III.
 The prison house., the first of 1tU kind in the world gives one the tm- pression upon entrance of being in an aviary. Every cell has been pro- vided with 90 minutes of sunlight, coming through a skylight. This uni, versa1 distribution of sunlight accom- plished by a slight curve in the sky light was figured by Forest Ray Moulton, professor of astronomy at the University of Chicago.
 A cafeteria system, another new idea for prison life, has been in stalled. Most of the eatab1es are sup piled from the 2,200 acre honor farm upon which the prison is located.
 The PAS cells which are all alike are built of concrete with corK in- sulation in the walls. The doors of the cells are double locked. They can be automatically locked by a hy- draulic oil control and then the guard comes around and locks each cell separately. They can be opened individually.
 In the center of the prison is a tower from where the guards can watch the movements of all pris- onerS.
 At night the outside of the prison is lighted up with electric lights by which the guard in the center of the round prison house can see every thing that is going on in front of the win dows.
 The prison is surrounded with a circular concrete wall 33 1-2 feet high, 14 inches thick at the top and 24 inches thick at the bottom. The New York state building Commission has adopted this idea and expects to enclose Sing Sing with a similar wall.

Conference of Anti Saloon Lead.

Campaign.
By Associated Press to Every Evening

By Associated Press to Every Evening
Washington, Sept. 15.-Enforcement OF
the Prohibition Amendment, plans for
the fight before the next Congress to pre-
vent modification of the enforcement act
and world prohibition were the principal
topics before the conference of the Anti
Saloon League leaders, which began here
today.
Enforcement of the liquor amendment
was discussed today by prohibition Com
missioner Kramer, Wayne Il. Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League,
and other speakers.
''The power to enforce national pro-
hibision is given both to the State and
the Nation, said Mr.. Wheeler. 1T is
up to the people TO see TO it that Federal
and State officers do their duty IN sus-
tanning and enforcing the amendm ent.
Local and State officers who are trying
TO evade responsibility in the enforce
ment Of national prohibition should be
removed from office.
A committee was appointed to draft a
resolution warning federal judges that
unless they 'sacredly perform their sacred
duties" in enforcing prohibition laws the
league will seek their impeachment.
The committee was named by the Rev
erend F. A. Baker, general superintendent
of the league, after speakers at the con-
ference had vigorously criticized federal
judges for alleged laxity in meeting out
punishment to those convicted of violat-
ing the prohibition amendment and en-
forcement law.
Charges were made that some of the
federal Judges had "coddled bootleggers
and moonshiners" and that prohibition
laws were being made ga farce" in some
sections by tne light punishment.
