residence in the city, has built up a
good name among his colored people.
His decision to move north is regret
ted by his many white friends, who
have looked@1pon him as safe leader
among the colered people, whose in
terests he frequently represented in a
public way, when occasion demanded
it. He has the good wishes of all his
white friends for his success.

to thank him.
Text of Resolution
Here is the resolution translated.
cat the end of the last year, the
Chirigui Prison presented the worst of
aspects, as much for the bad condi-
ton of its buildings, as for the lack of
organization in the interior among the
prisoners. The government procured
the services of VIM. G. Short.
Gas by enchantment changes to the
betterment of conditions were notice
able in all the departments of the in
stitution, and now the nation counts
with penitentiary that is far from
producing the outrageous aspects that
it did before, and it actually impresses
the visitor for its cleanliness and its
good order.
An adequate location for the prison
guard has been constructed, bath
rooms have been built for the prison
ers of both sexes and the prisoners
furnished with clean beds and linen
and sanitary conditions completely re-
built, all due to the work of Mr.. Short
whom the government highly COM
mends.
"Signed by the President of the
Republic of Panama.
BELISARIO PARRIS"
Wins Praise
This was in 1909. Before being ap-
pointed to this high office Mr.. Short
has served in police work in various
capacities in colorful little Central
American republic. AS general fore
man over all convicts in the province
of Veraguas he won commentator of
the governor L. Sosa, as attested to
in letter to that effect.
Soon after he renovated the Chriq-
III Prison, El Director Short became
famous in that section of the country
as the most advanced reformer and
handler of desperate criminals in the
lower Americas.
Later he was given the job of re-
organizing the old Fortress, with its
huge, thick concrete and rock walls
its patio and enormous dark dungeons.
1t is needless to state that soon after
wards the old fortress presented a diff
ferent aspect.
In his treatment of the most desper-
ate criminals of this part of the world
Short proved that the Central Amer
lean, the Jamaican and the Carib are
human and amenable to human treat
ment.
To understand fully why Shorts
name stands SO highly in this republic
one must know the condit ions he had
to contend with.
Rises from Bluff
Chiriqui was originally built to guard
the approach to the city of Panama
two hundred and forty two years
ago. 1t rises from the rocky bluff
that juts out from the heart of this
ancient city, and its lofty walls are as
much as forty feet thick ON the sea-
