Penitentiary Planned With
Intelligent Purpose by
PenoIogy Experts.
BY MAX STERN
Times STAFF Writer

LEWISBURG, Pa, Nov 1.-THE
worlds model prison will be opened
here today.
It is the federal governments
new Northeastern penitentiary,
which Sanford Bates, federal prison
director. has built high on 1000
rolling acres of fertile Pennsylvania
soil las monument to THE New
Penology," and a milestone in the
slow progress of men toward wis
dom and humanity.
This prison was planned with an
intelligent purpose. Every feature
was built so that the men who enter
may leave healthier, stronger and
better able to resist the tempta-
tons to crime. AS if in answer to
the Wickersham commissions recent
scathing criticism of the whole
American penal system, it has left
out of its scheme all mediation to
hate, fear and revenge.
Resembles Hospital
Over the proscenium arch of its
spacious chapel is this quotation
from Bacon: THAT which is past
and gone is irrevocable; wise men
have enough to do with things pres
ent and to come"
Northeastern will hold 1900
men, and it will hold them securely.
Its walls are high and well-guard-
ed. But, inside, the buildings re-
semble a barracks or a hospital
more than the dungeons and cages
that for $50 years have been the
nations postgraduate college of
crime.
The rows on rows of cellhouses,
built cheaply of concrete blocks, so
are arranged that the inmate may
be graduated from one to another
as he shows himself fit for promo
ton. The receiving building is a
splendid diagnostic hospital. Here
men are classified. The sick of body

ALASKA INTERESTS AT THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL By WAS

The people of Nome are of the
mind that it is imperative an avi-
alton landing field be established
in the vicinity of Nome, so as to
give encouragement to flyers to
and from the Asiatic East. AS a
consequence Delegate Wickersham
mas introduced a bill in Congress
to authorize the Alaska Road Com
mission to expend $4,000 of the
moneys appropriated and assigned
for road work in the Nome district
to establish a landing place to be
200 feet wide and 4,400 feet long,
to become the sole property of the
United States when constructed. As
sistant Secretary of War, F. Trubee
Dawson is said to be heartily in
favor of the project.

BEAVER BROUGHT IN
CONTRARY TO RULES

Residents of the Anchorage dis
trict were warned that it is a vio-
lation of the Alaska game laws to
catch a beaver and remove it from
its natural surroundings following
the finding of a live beaver in the
residential section of Anchorage.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the animal had been brought into
town on a truck and turned loose
in the streets, and if Game Warden
Jack O'Connor can find out who did
it, there will probably be some
court proceedings. The beaver was
captured by the warden and taken
out to Chester creek, where it was
released at the edge of the stream.
