Want New Prison
to Replace Out-Of-
Date CharlestOWn

Boston, Dec. 6-Commissioner Of
Correction Bates filed a bill with the
legislature today for a new state
prison to replace the present anti
quated, unhygienic and generally OBJ
noxious structure" in the Charles
town district.
The building now in use was built
in 1905, he said, and every investigat
ing committee and every official WIS.,
itor to it admits it is disgrace"
TT is out of date and hard to keep
clean" he continued. There are NO
adequate hospital facilities. 1t is in
congested and dirty location. There
is no congregate dining room, with
the result that the men are obliged to
cat all their meals in their cells. The
cell block construction is not condu-
Give to health. Many repairs are i'm
mediately necessary in connection
with the heating plant and general
construction.
rs it not time that Massachusetts
recained the position which it once
held as the leader in the pathological
work in the country? Many of the
new ideas which this department de-
sires to adopt in the conduct of its
business at the prison are made diff
ficult on account of a lack of struc-
tural equipment.
7 Estimates have been submitted
showing than an up-to-date, new
properly equipped prison plant can be
erected for S1.S06,940. The present
property should bring from s150,00(
to s1.000.O00"
After discussing probable expense
and confusion which might attend cf-
forts to locate the proposed new pris-
on on Deer Island. in Boston harbor
Mr.. Bates said:
ut has been suggested that the
proper site for the state prison woil1
be somewhere between Boston and
Worcester"

Allegiance to State

The question of allegiance. which up
to the last moment threatened to
wreck the. negotiations. was sur
mounted by permitting the members
Of the Irish parliament to swear al
legiance to the constitution OF the
Irish Free State and "bc faithful 10
His Majesty, the King"
The treaty has yet to run the gaunt-
let of the Ulster government and of
the imperial parliament. The impe
rial parliament has been summoned to
meet on December IA. and will be
opened in state by the king, who has
taken the closest personal interest in
the Irish negotiations since he practi-
cally instigatcd them when he opened
the Ulster parliament.
Approval by the imperial parliament
is foregone conclusion. as the gov
crnment has an overwhelming ma jori-
ty in the House of Commons, favor
ing it's Irish policy. and the action OF
the British Representatives in reachir &
he agreement already has becf. unan-
imously endorsed by the cabinet. The
position Of Ulster is less certain. Evi-
dence comes from Belfast tonight tina
the treaty will be subjected to the
most searching scrutiny before receiv.
ing assent and doubtless many modiii-
cations will be proposed.
The king fastened to send the prime
minister a telegram congra ulating
him on the success of the negotiations
and declaring II am overjoyed to hear
the splendid news The king will
to preside over the privy council t.
approve the proclamation summoning
parliament, as the constitution re-
aures a six days notice by royal
proclamation.
The treaty was signed by all the
members of the British and Irish del
cgations participating in the negotia-
| tions. the Irish delegates signing their
Gaelic names.
Ireland is treated as a single entity
in the provisions of the treaty. with
special clauses providing against the
possibility that Ulster should refuse
acquicsence in the settlement in
which case the government Of Ireland
act of 1920 will remain in force so far
as the northern parliament Is concern
cd. but with the stipulation that spc-
oial commission shall determine
boundaries for northern Ireland
Provisions also are made for the CO.
operation Of the two parliaments in
providing certain safeguards in the
event of listers remaining or. of the
new free state. Neither parliament,
however. would be permitted under
the treaty to make laws endow:ng any
particular religion, or to imposs any
religious disability.
The treaty looiss to Ireland in the
future undertaking its own coastal de-
Tense and provides that Ireland shat.
in time Of war give the British forces
necessary harbor and other facilities.
1t further. by providing against inter-
national limitations on ornaments,
recognizes the Irish Free States right
to maintain its own military defense
force.

NO SENATE ACTION
ON FOREIGN DEBT

Washington, Dec. 6-The Senate
finance committee quit work tonight
after a days discussion of the for

an agreement on which the measure
could be reported to the Senate. Fur
Their consideration of the question
was postponed until Thursday.
The House proposal placing the
power of negotiating basis of settle
ment of the war loans in the hands
of a supervisory committee, of five

which upset the plan of committee
leaders to have the Senate at once

found the picking and choosing Of .lew
material very poor. A day of dicker-

the minors or trades among the major

John J. McGraw of the New York

and opened headquarters at a hotel a
few blocks from the National Associa-

President Michael II. Sexton delivered

President Sexton in addition to a
plea in economy in management Of
the minors condemned what h. termed
the abuse of the players contract
system and urged the enforcement
of the salary limit rule. which he de-
clared was necessary if the associa-

urged that the whole section of the
bylaw relating TO the loanirg and
farming of players be revised and the
addition of stronger penalty clause
for clubs violating the salary limit
rule
Secretary Tarrelrs report showed
