SAYS PRISONERS
should WORK
Lewis Asks Co. 0peration of
Organized Labor in Getting
Appropriation

ASBURY PARK. Sept. 14.-Co-
ting appropriations for facilities to
put all the men in state prison to
work, instead of having nearly half
of them idle, was asked by Commits
siCner Burdette G.. Lewis, of the De-
partment OF Institutions and Agen-
cles yesterday in a speech before the
State Federation of Labor, in con-
ver.tion here. The recent "Pcach
Week Riot" when some 700 prison.
ers refused to return to their cells
because of alleged discrimination in
the matter of fruit for supper, was
cited by the commissioner as prov
ing his point hat all the-men should
be at work.
only seven men," he declared,
employed in all our industries.
joined in the disturbance, even for d
short time" The commissioner
draws the inference that if all the
men had been at work, there would
have been no need of calling in half
a hundred or more state and Tren-
ton police to force the men back to
their cells.
He announces the opinion that
the State Board of Control of Insti-
buttons and Agencies should step in
and exercise more than its present
general guidance" over the prison
management.
Up to the present time asserts
the commissioner. the state board
has felt it advisable to have the pris-
on manage all these affairs under the
boards general guidance. The recent
disturbance and our experience has
demonstrated that this is somewhat
ineffective and that it is only the
part of wisdom for the state board
to exercise to the full all the pow
ers vested directly in it,. If this
were done. the prison management
could concentrate upon the enor-
nous task of ~re-organizing the pris-
or as a prison, a task that is all but
to1 heavy, as recent events have
demonstrated"
By recent events" the commits
sioner apparently refers, besides the
Peach Week Riot" and the disturb
ance in the cells the night before.
the escape of Guilford Young from
the death house a few days before
his execution, and the all but sue
cessful attempt by George c. Poop
pei life-term murderer, to escape
made last June and kept from the
public till recently.
Commissioner Lewis in his pre-
pared address made no reference tc
the fact that up until a few year.
ago there was work for all the
prisoners before the abolition o
the contract system" under which
the. men made goods which coult
be sold in the open market. Since
the change was made. products are
only made for state use, and it i!
understood the demand of state
agencles is not great enough t.

make work for all the prisoners.
1t is understood that not only the
institutions head here at the state
house, but those in actual charge
of the prison, are DESTROYS of hav-
ing all the men put to work, though
they want to have such work as will
teach the men a trade which will
be useful when they leave the
prison.
Should the State Board of Con-
troll decide to dictate state prison
policies in opposition to the judg-
ment of the prison keeper. Joseph
S. Hoff, there might be an inter-
esting conflict of authority. Under
the 1918 Tlaw, the State Board APP
points the Board of Managers of
the 1918 law the state Board APP
governor, and the principal keeper
is declared to be an administra-
tive official responsible to the board
of managers with ultimate authority
in the State Board Of Control.
Commissioner Lewis referred in his
address to the "far-reaching pow
ers" given him and the board OF
control ny that law. But on the
other hand the keeper is an of1cer
provided Tor by the state constl-
tuition and how far a law imposing
new authorities superior to his would
he held constitutional in the event
of a scrap in problematical.

u. s. MARINE COMING HERE
IS GREAT ATTRACTION

Some evening when you hear not
far away in the neighborhood or
mere fortunately in the distance, the
aggressive melancholia that only
the blue note" of an amateur cor
retist can express, do not dismiss the
performer from your respectful
thoughts. Artists must have their
beginnings and the greatest cornet-
lists have had their "blue note" stag
es of development. The performer
unseen and yet so much in evidence
may be another Arthur Whitcomb,
who is now playing a cornet soloist
of the United States Marine Band
in its present tour under the direc-
ton of the Radcliffe Enterprises.
Whitcomb confesses to having had
his blue notes when he was a boy;
making him as well, though less fav-
orably known to the surrounding
community, as he now is TO the au-
diences of the Marine Band. He is
a master of his instrument, his SOLO,
"Reve d. Amour" by the English
composer. Haydn-Millars. being de-
signed for a display of its fullest re-
sources. He Is remarkable for pur-
ity of tone as well as accuracy or
execution and elegance of phrasing.
Great singers are more numerous
than great cornetists and Whitcomb
is one of the few who car make the
instrument a of magnetic APP
peal. Inpersonal cornetists are
numerous, but those who can make
the cornet a vehicle for tempera-
ment and individuality are as scarce
as great tenors. Robert Il. Clark.
the trombone soloist, was scarcely
beyond his blue note" stage, when
he presented himself thirteen years
age as a recruit to the Marine Band
He has. in addition to rare artistry,
some delightful tricks. such as the
production of harmony on an instru-
ment ordinarily capable of delivering
only a single tone at a time. He also
has that coveted accomplishment,
the lip trill. which is much softer
and more even than the trill which
can be produced by the mechanism
of the instrument. Both of these
musicians will be heard in the fam
Gus Lucia" sextette as played by
two comets, two trombones and two
baritones inevitably called for in en-
core. The program of the band will
include selections from all types of
composition and all nationalities,
with America literally represented.
The concert is in a sense an object
lesson of the worlds magnificent

J tive and interpretative,
