NEW SING SING RULES
SET BAN ON LOVE NOTES
Also Prohibit Women Visitors
Except Relatives.

Charles f. Rattigan. State Superin-

n new set of rules for the conduct OF
convicts in Sing Sing prison, which will
mean the end of love letters, jazz cloth
ing and jeweiry. and which will also
make the prisoners watch their step a
bit more than heretofore. Warden
Lewis z. Lawes said last night that the
new rules will go into effect week
from tomorrow and will apply TO all
State prisons. although they will have
mere effect in Sing Sing than in any OF
the others.
Under the new rules the convicts will
be divided into three grades to denote
their behavior. and they will also wea-
stripes indicating the number of years
they have served All prisoners will GO
into the first grade at the beginning and
will be denoted as they commit infrac-
tions of the rules. First grade prisoners
will wear a white disc on the left sleeve.
second grade men blue disc and third
grade men a red disc. The red disc will
also be worn by prisoners who escape
and are recaptured or try to escape.
The new rules also prohibit any
women. excepting relatives. from visit
ing the prison. and writing love letters
will be eliminated under the rule that
says promiscuous letter writing Is to be
discouraged First grade men may write
as many letters as they choose. but
second grade men may send out but
two letters a month. The third grade
men may not write at all except by
special permission from the warden.
Hereafter also no packages may be re-
ceived by the convicts except on Thanks
giving, Christmas, Easter and the
Fourth OF July holidays.

UP the business and pleasure of our
lives"
DR.. Schulman said he could appreciate
the applause accorded by the spectators
10 fighting pluck, and that he would
give preference TO prize fighting over
bull fights.
"If such contests have to be the after
dinner delectations of society he said,
'it Is better that human beings fight
than that they have their animal feroci-
ties and blood lusts satisfied vicariously
by visiting dog fights. cock fights or
bull fights.
Granting that 1t Is not an edifying
spectacle to see a. man dragged away
with his face swollen. his eyes closed and
the image of God. as 1t shines out of his
features covered with blood--it is never
theless better, II such things must be,
that the human animals fight 1t out
themselves, than that they sit comforta-
bly, and watch the struggles of other an
imals.
1T is one thing to fight for right and
Justice 1t is another to enthrone the
fighting instinct, and I believe that the
growing inclination of what are called
the best people in our land to give their
Endorsement to such contests is an ex-
preston OF decadence. 1t means the
vitiation of our moral discrimination, and
it means that America has taken step
backward"
