UNCLE SAM'S BIG PRISON
Mortimtr Stuart, Formerly of Nebraska
Tells of Bilibid Penitentiary.
FIVE. THOUSAND PRISONERS NOW HELD
: i
Prisoners Made to Lnn Trades Bad
a Branch Oat of Doors Is
Established bjr Government.
NORFOLK, Neb., June 17.-(Speclnl.)-Tourlna;
America on a six months' vaca
tion from behind the wall of the biggest
prison In the world Bilibid the peniten
tiary of the Philippine Islands, located at
Manila Mortimer Stuart, formerly a
prominent Nebraskan, with residence at
Lincoln and Norfolk, arrived in this city
enroute to New York, and In an interview
gave some rather astonishing details con
cerning; the new dominion of the United
States in the far east, and particular!)
regarding the Immense prison In which he
Is the first assistant warden.
Five thousand, three hundred men and
women all of them men excepting 10
wayward feminine creatures occupy this
prison in Manila, which la under control
. of the United State. None of th.e prls
oners Is -in for less than two years, as
those who are sent up for crimes that
punish by less terms than that, are con
fined in the village Jails. BIHMd Is the
only penitentiary in all the Islands. It
occupies a space of sixteen acres, and
consists of thirty-three one-story build,
Ings .erected on .the plan of the local cot
tage systems for Insane asylums. There
are no cells such as we have In America,
as the prisoners In each building all sleep
together In one room. They are counted
each morning; and night. Just as in Amer
ica, ana tney wear stripes during a por
tion of their service. Just as here. The
bunks or beds of the prison are like those
in a circus car for employes made in
tiers up the sides of the wall, and of
bamboo.
Some Americans Held.
Of the entire 5,300 prisoners there are
only 120 Americans serving time. These
are in, mostly, for pure vagrancy, which
is considered a serious crime. The sen
tence, under the Spanish code, which is
still In operation throughout the Islands,
are more severe than they are here In
America. Murder Is punished according
to the aggravation, the worst form pay
ing the penalty of death. There were slx-
.een murderers to swing to their doom in
the Bilibid prison yard last year. While
Blgelow, the banker here, has Just been
nt to prison for ten years on a charge
of embeixllng more than tl. 600,000.
the lightest penalty In Manila
'or embeixlement, and only a few dollars
need be taken, Is twelve years, while the
nore serious cases get twenty years be
hind the bars.
All of the prisoners are made to work
and learn trades. They are put at work
ing on American machinery, too, and every
day they are made to learn the names of
American articles, going through a school
jf Instruction In regard to the terms, so
that they fast get to call every wheel or
bolt, or belt by the right American term.
They make furniture, wagons, clothing,
robes and the like, and their "shop Eng
lish" Is very superior. They learn English
more readily, It is said, than do the Eng
lish learn their, language. English la
taught tn all of the schools In the Islands.
The prisoners eat a vast amount of

food, as the following consumption per
day shows: Eighteen thousand loaves of
bread dally, 2,500 pounds of beef dally, 8,000
pounds of potatoes. They drink no coffee,
preferring ginger tea, made from the na
tive ginger root. They are given enough of
church services to make them, good, there
being two chaplains In the prison and serv
ices every Sunday.
Cost la Cheap.
The healthful conditions of the prison
are remarkably good when it is considered
that in the five years that Mr. Stuart has
been In the prison not one single Amer
ican, used to a strange climate, has died.
The cost of running the prison, per
capita, is less than that of any other prison
In the world. The cost is 16H cents per
day, while In many states of this country
It amounts to 60 cents. The proceeds from
the manufactured goods go to the govern
ment. Each prisoner gets seventy-two
cigarettes each week three packages con
taining twenty-four each.
The prison was formerly a Spanish In
stitution and Is made of stone walls with
iron bars. There are guards with guns
patrolling the walls at all hours part of
the guards being- Americans and the others
natives. '
A system of striped clothing that Is
unique has been adopted for the prisoners.
There are three classes of these people.
The first class Is the best, and these do
not wear stripes and get better treatment.
The second class, in which a man is placed
for six months at entrance, wears stripes
and ' is given better treatment than the
third, which Is made up of the bad ones.
A new system of Imprisonment has-been
adopted on the Islands In the nature of a
colony to which the penttenUj are sent.
As a reward - for good conduct prisoners
are sent to the Island of Parago and are
given each an allotment of land, a house
and implements with which to work. This
was established eight months ago and has
worked in a. most satisfactory manner.
There have been 350 already ' sent ' to this
colony, where they are under control' of a
superintendent, but have no guards.: As
soon as their time expires they are ' al
lowed to retain the land during good be
havior, and their families are then allowed
to Join them. There has been no trouble
whatever since this system was started
and it is going to be a success.
One thousand prisoners have been sent
to the Island of Mindanao under General
Wood to build roads and too to AlbaJ,
guarded by soldiers.
Many of these Inmates of the biggest
of the world's prisons today have been led
into crime by not fully understanding the
conditions. Many who were not punished
under the Byauisi regime axe being ar
rested and, sentenced by Uncle Sam. The
story that the natives are arrested merely
to get them Into. prison, so that they may
learn a trade. Is said by Mr. Stuart to be
untrue. They are given all of the fairness
In the world In their trials. They may ap
peal to the supreme court. If not satisfied
with their own sentences, and If they have
no money the state provides for their ap
pealing attorney.
Many of the Judges are native Filipinos,
as Is the Justice of the supreme court.

ALL SAINTS CH0IR PICNICS
Annul Outing- with Some Features
Is In Progress at Lake
Mnnawa.
Contrary to the predictions of Forecaster
Welsh a storm of unusual severity Is rag
ing In the vicinity of Omaha. The storm
center Is Lake Manawa, and the immediate
cause Is the third annual outing of the
choir members of All Saints' church, who,
being absolutely Independent of climatic
conditions, are capable of raising a storm
anywhere and on the shortest notice. At
the time of going tu press the members
of the choir were rather enjoying them
selves, but all the other craft on and
around the lake hud taken to shelter.
During lulls In the storm various sports
were being Indulged tn. The committee on
arrangements failed to provide all the ac
ces lories of the basket race, and as a
lunch basket'had to be called Into requisi
tion Brother Cramer sailed In and won
that. Last year the prlie for the biggest
hat was carried off by Miss Rlggs, so to
prevent a repetition Miss Barr showed up
wearing an Inverted clothes basket. Last
year Organist Simms lost out somewhere
and as a penalty had to officiate at the
pu.np the following Sunday, while the sex
ton played. The congregation was so well
pleused with the change that a committee
has been appointed to cripple Simms up
In some way to make him lose again. On
the start from Omaha Simms was Just
a little belligerent and wanted to change
the committee's plans and go to Hanscoin
park, presumably on account of there
being so much watar at Manawa. Guild
of the stock yards, however, settled the
trouble by "hog tying" nt throwing him
aboard the Council Bluffs car. Simms
says he will write the Times about this.
Another note of discord was heard when
the lake was reached, this time on ac
count of professional rivalry between Mis
Porterfield and Mr. Havenstock, the con
tralto and basso soloists, respectively.
Each claimed predominance of resonance,
whatever that may be, and to settle the
dispute a test was instituted, with the re
suit that Miss Porterfield knocked the
cupola off the club house, while the only
evidence of Charlie's power was the rip
ping of the main sail on the Yacht Argu,
which happened to be within the half-mile
range of the contestants.
