A meeting of the state board of

tangled idea in prison construction
the member of the board of admins

oped the fact that Warden Codding
has SO much faith in his honor system
that the cell house Is not to have doors

Warden Codding, when interviewed
on the subject. Is said to have made
the statement that there will be no
doors on the building so long as he
is connected with the management of
the penitentiary.
But the state board of administra-
ton member views the flaming swerd
idea with more or less conservatism,
and is inclined to lean toward the Yale
lock as a more modern substitute.
Therefore he arranged it that the
openings should have fixtures SO that
in case the prisoners got the habit OF

still meet with obstacles to their
