M. C. A. HELPS PRISONERS
Men Confined in Disciplinary Bar

Appreciate Training.

Thanks to the 7. NJ. C. A. many of
the disciplinary barracks maintained
by the United States for its soldiers
who fracture the rules that govern the
buck private and officer alike aren't all
dark walls and dark living. Such a
one Is historic Fort Jay at Governors
island, New York harbor, where be-
tween 300 and 800 soldiers are usually
confined. most of whom are sim for
minor offenses. A few, however, are
being "cared for" only few days,
prior to their taking up longer resi-
dence at Fort Leavenworth, the army
prison.
Col. John E. Hunt was commanding
officer Of Fort Jay during the World
war, and he introduced ~" activities
for its inmates. Since that time the
secretaries have kept up their work.
The .'Y'' Is housed in the first build
ing OF It's kind the organization ever
built in this country. Every Wednes-
day the confined men are allowed to
attend the "sing-song," and about It's
of the men make the walls resound.
The Sunday evening religious service
is even better attended, more than 200
taking part.
Another feature of the work Is the
teaching of volunteer instructors of
educational subjects. Spanish and
French courses. together with reading,
writing and arithmetic, are proving the
most popular subjects. The men show
desire to absorb as much knowledge
as possible during their period of con-
finement.

MS mich grew out of his al
legged relations with Carleton's wife,
che actress Edith Day.
Carleton had been explaining in d
matter-of-fact manner why he had de-
cided to stop pressing the case. The
three inspectors who were taking the
testimony were sitting back placidly
and the dozen other persons in the
chamber were taking notes listlessly
or looking out the window at the ships
In the bay. Somerset was whispering
TO his lawyer.
Suddenly Carleton turned to him.
~ came here" he said slowly, "to
face Somerset and ask him to tell me
like a man, once and for all, whether
he is the father of Miss Days child"
Somerset Refuses to Answer
to keep his client from answering.
The three inspectors jumped and
turned toward the actor. A man who
had been watching tug in the har-
bor began asking his companion what
had happened, without getting any
answer. The chamber became still.
Then Somerset refused to answer,
and the humdrum of the hearing was
resumed. Those who were in the room
declared later, however, that after the
hearing they heard Carleton speak to
Somerset again.
"If you don't want to say it for the
record, tell me, as man to man, are
you the father Of Miss Days child Z"
the husband asked.
Afterward Carleton declared that
Somerset had said, "Yes." Somerset
denied making any such statement.
The rest of the hearing was devoted
mainly to the testimony Of the stenog-
raphers who took down Somersets al
legged confession, which he has since
repudiated. A deputy customs store
keeper testified that the actor had
claimed four pairs of trousers which
were found in Miss Days trunks when
she returned from England on the
Majestic in July.
Carleton denied that he had been
given money to drop out of the case.
