HAVE
REAL TRIBUNAL
IN, THE WORKHOUSE
Organized Court Last Night
With George Lucas as the
Chief Justice.
ALL INMATES ARE GRADED

The court OF honor. which has been
In existence in rather crude form at

rick, associate judges; Norman A..
Hinsman. prosecutor: Irving McAllis-
ter and Lee Abrahams, defendant
councillors; Walter Gray, court crier;
Charles Bennett court clerk; Patsy
Dannible. bailif.
-~ This reorganization was based on a
new set OF bylaws. which were adopt
ed prior TO the election of officers.
They are comprehensive and far
reaching.
Under the new plan, when the court
Is In session. only one man VIII be
permitted TO have the floor at one
time, and then only with the consent of
the judges. Any first offense, for
which no definite punishment is pre-
scribed, will render the defendant
liable to repriQand. All prisoners
holding responsible positions about the
workhouse who are found guilty of
neglect OF duty or violation of rules
VIII automatically forfeit their posi-
tons. Any prisoner hailed before the
court can select either OF the defend
ant councillors to 0lead his case.
Under the new bylaws. the prison.
ers will be classed in three groups,
first second and third. All the prison
frs started this morning, under the
new rules. in grade No. !. They will
remain in that class as long as they
behave properly. do their work right
and cause no trouble. ANY deviation
from this will reduce them to either
grade two or three. according to the
gravity of the offense.
All first grade men have all the
privileges that the workhouse offers.
Third grade men have no privileges.
and are not even permitted to see
their relatives. Second grade men are
dprived OF some privileges. and must
converse with relatives through a
screen All Of these barriers are re-
moved with the first-grade men.
when a prisoner automatically re-
duces himself TO lower grade. he has
the privilege of working back through
good conduct. attending to duty. and
complying with the rules.
The workhouse prisoners who have
been clearing'the Brandywine Springs
railway tracks. being in the employ
OF the Traction Company for the time
being. completed their work last night
having opened the line from Elsmere
tQ Marshallton. Warden Plummer said
today an effort Will be made to OBJ
tain some public road work for such
prisoners as can be spared.
