LINCOLN. Oct. . 14. (Special.) The Na
tional Prlaon aaaoclatlon held a real busi
ness session thla mornings listening to the
reports of the standing committees, wh'oh
were discussed pro - and ; con, concluding
with two most Interesting talks by Super
intendent Hayward of the Nebraska In
dustrial school of Kearney and Dr. Cath
erine Bennett Davis, superintendent of the
state reformatory for women of New York,
and the appointment of a committee on
organisation by President Garvin. This
committee will nominate the officers for
the ensuing year and will make Its report
during the latter part of the convention.
The committee Is composed of J. T. Bcult
of New York, B. W.. Brown of Illinois, T.
D. Wills of Connecticut, N. "W. Jones of
Iowa, A. C. Bharp of Indiana. William Mo
Johnston of Pennsylvania, Henry Wolfor
of Minnesota, W. J. Bat t of Massachusetts
and L. B. Dresser of Wisconsin.
The delegates to the . convention waked
up to the distressing fact this morning that
they will be compelled to pay full fare
In coming to the convention and returning
home. Providing a certain number of del
egates were In attendance the railroads
had agreed to sell them return tickets at
one-third the regular fare. So far the cer
tlan number of certificates have not been
filed with the secretary. The absence of
the required number Is attributed to the
fact that the people outside of Lincoln
have failed to show their appreciation of
this meeting by attending It. However,
the local attendance was so large that to
night the meeting was held in the audi
torium In order to accommodate the In
creasing crowd. Governor Hoch of Kansas
had been advertised as the speaker for
this evening, but he could not be present
and his place was filled .by a representative
of the United States nayy, D. H. Trlbon of
Boston. t
President Garvin Is more than pleased
with the success of the meetings and he has
naught but good words for the local com
suttee for the good work It has done.

Superintendent Murphy of the Joliet peni
tentiary, one of the biggest In the United
States, a regular visitor to the National
Prison association meetings. Is another who
says that this meeting is one of the best
the association has ever held. Yesterday he
visited ( state penitentiary and of that
institute fv said:
"Nebraska has the finest penitentiary of
Its sisa In the United States. I thoroughly
Investigated It yesterday, visited every nook
and corner under its. roof and I have never
seen a cleaner, better kept and better man
aged Institution anywhere. There was abso
lutely not a particle of dirt In the whole In
stitution. There was absolute order about
the kitchen and everywhere was seen the
effect of good management and good dis
cipline. It Is one of the few Institutions of
the country that Is strictly . up-to-date In
every particular. Visitors to this congress
Who Inspect' the penitentiary will be able to
. secure, many pointers for the conduct of
their own Institutions in the future."
The association held no meeting this after
noon and those delegates who are not busy
with committee work spent the time look

the meeting will be held In the chapel at

ONLY A SUGGESTION
But It Haa Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.
Common sense would suggest that If one
Wishes to become fleshy and plump 'It can
Only result from the food, we eat and digest
and that food should be albuminous or
Besh-formlng food, like eggs, beefsteak,
and cereals; In other words the kinds of
food that make flesh are the foods which
form the greater part of our dally bills of
tare.
But the trouble Is that . while we eat
enough, and generally too much, the stom
ach, from abuse and overwork, does not
properly digest and assimilate It, which Is
the reason so many people remain thin and
under weight; the digestive organs do not
completely digest the flesh-forming beef
teafeggs and similar wholesome food.
There- are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although they
may have no particular pain or Inconveni
ence from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their prejudices
aside and make a regular practice of tak
ing after each meal one or two of 8tuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets the food would be
quickly and thoroughly digested, because
these tablets contain the natural peptones
and diastase which every weak stomach
lacks, and by supplying this .want the
tomach Is soon enabled to reach Its
natural tone and vigor.
Stuart'a Dyspepsia . Tablets digest every
hind of flesh-forming food, meat, eggs,
bread and potatoes, and thla la the reason
they so quickly build up, strengthen and In
vigorate thin, dyspeptic men, women and
children.
Invalids and children, even the most deli
cate, use them with marked benefit as they
contain no strong. Irritating drugs, no ca
thartic nor any harmful Ingredients.
Stuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets are the moat
successful and moat widely known of any
remedy for stomach troublea because they
are the moat reasonable and aclentlflo of
modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
very druggist In the United States and
Canada' as well as Great Britain at W
cents for complete treatment
Nothing further Is required to cure any
Stomach trouble or to make thin, nervous,
dyspeptic people strong, plump and well.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMITTEE,
M. J. Oreevy, Secretary.
omrlal, will deliver an address on the
parole system In Csnada.
At the session this morning Judge G. 8.
Robinson of Iowa read the report of the
committee on law reform, while Superin
tendent Paddleford ef the Industrial school
at Oolden, Colo., resd the report of the
committee on reformatory work and pre
ventive. While both of these reports at
tracted much debate and the former se
vere criticism from Martin Dewey Follett
of Ohio, the talk by Catherine Bennett
Davis,- superintendent of the 8tate Re
formatory for Women of New York, of her
work In that Institution, and the talk by
Superintendent Hayward of the Nebraska
Industrial School for Boys seemed more
to Interest the delegates than the reports
and the arguments.
Compares Mea aad Woraea.
Superintendent Davis, In comparing the
difference between the woman Inmate of
the reformatory and ' the man prisoner,
said:
While an Immoral act of a woman was
of moment and importance to her, It was
a mere Incident to a man. The first wrong
of an Immoral woman Is an accident, but
It stamps her for life and she soon learns
that she had an easy way to earn her
living. Men who go out of prisons go Into
the world with a trade, while a woman who
Is released from the reformatory must
secure a position as a domestic servant.
Thus It is easy for her to fall back Into
her old life of Immorality and sin. The
woman muet wash dlahea pr cook, but It
la difficult for them to secure any other
employment.
I released a girl once who was an expert
telephone operator and I went to the man
ager of the company and asked that he
admit her again to his office. He refused
because he Mid he would not permit such
a woman to associate with the other girls.
And yet that woman had completely re
formed. When the women first tome to the
Institution they are all broken down phys
ically and mentally. The first thing we

Only a small per cent of the Inmates are
virtuous.
Keep Them at Work.
rp. rinvia then said she keDt the women
busy and advocated for such women much
outdoor work. At the present time, she
said, she, with the help of the Inmates, had
made over 700 feet of cement walks ana
had mixed the cement themselves. They
had put In cement floors In the basement
rr i ha institution. The eirls raised the
garden and did all the work except the
plowing. Until recently, sne saia, mere
lam hieh embankment In front of
the Institution and she had requested the
legislature to give her 1.6W to graae me
embankment. The legislature had refused
and the girls had torn down me emDana
ment and had graded It nicely.. It had not
cost '.he state a cent. As a result, the
glrlr. hed taken an Interest in the place
and there was nothing they would not do
to help Improve It. She advocated the
establishment . of such reformatories in
quiet, secluded places, where the public
could not see the girls at work. The re
sult ot her outdoor work had been to create
appetites and to bring the girls to a con
dition where they could sleep.
Results la Nebraska.
In his talk regarding the Industrial school
and Its work. Superintendent Hayward of
Nebraska said his institution was merely
a school, and he did not teach the pupils
that they were being punished, but that
they were being helped. These Inmates, he
said, were not criminals, but they were
boys who had brains too large and who
were too large physically for the towns In
which they lived. It was the force In them
that was breaking out and there was no
one in the town competent to direct that
great force Into the proper channels. The
boys he said, would develop the greatest
mind's on earth were they directed right
while young. The fault that they ' have
gone wrong, he Wild, was not with the
child, but with the parents and the public
school teachers, who. he . said, were se
lected from the field of Incompetency. No

He told ot the work in the school and
what the boys had accomplished, whlcn
fact he said, was absolutely unknown to
the 'juvenile court officers and to otters
who should know. The school had devel
oped until now, he said, that frequently

proud of having had the opportunity of
attending such a school. It should not be
considered a disgrace for a boy to be an
Inmate of such an Institution because It Is
never the fault of the boy. but of those
who should look afjer his early training.
Report OB Lave Reform.
Judge Robinson ot Iowa presented the
report of the law reform committee and In
his preliminaries called attention to the
vast differences of sentences in the sev
eral states, and submitted statistics from
the census report of 1900 as a corrobora
tion. He recommended uniform laws to
remedy this defect In the present system.
The mental and physical condition of the
trial Judge, he said, had much to do with
the length ot the sentence. Audiences
which are sympathetic or hostile to the
prisoner also has much to do with the sen
tence. 1
He recommended the indeterminate sen
tence, together with a pardon board to
pass upon all applications for a pardon
or parole. When the prisoner hss given
evidence of a change of heart and of re
form, he said, he should be released, but
when reform was not hoped for he should
be restrained.
The report was vigorously attacked by
Martin Dewey Follett of Ohio, who was a
member of the committee, but who refused
to sign the report. Mr. Follett attacked the
Board of Pardons and said such power
should be vested In the warden or those
who worked with the prisoner and who
knew him and knew whether he had ac
tually reformed. He Jumped on the statis
tics read by Judge Robinson and said they
had been before the congreas In 1904 and
had been thoroughly discussed. The report,
he said, was full of platitudes and should
not be signed by any member of the com
mittee. Others Defend Report.
This attack brought other members of the
committee to their feet with protests and In
Mainvwtrt nf TnH PnhlnBAii .whn hail writ

memoer oi trie committee, saia ne siooa

lieved the Board of Pardons was the proper
body to grant a pardon or suspension of
sentence. He told an Incident of a man
who was recommended for a pardon by a
warden and who was released in the morn
ing and who shot a woman before night
and wss now kicking at the doors of the
Kansas penitentiary. By observing the
prison, rules he said a prisoner could gain
the good will ot a' warden or penitentiary
official. But the Board of Pardona he said
would be compelled to look Into the man'a
past life and Into the life of his antece
dents and to study the convict carefully.
Henry Wolfer of Illinois. Dr. Starr, Amos
Butler of Indiana and others vigorously de
fended the report snd Its recommendations.
Major Archibald of Canada, a parole
official. In his defense of the pardon board,
gave some Interesting statistics of the work
done under the system In the Dominion.
He said the board thoroughly looked up
every detail of the convict's life, and then
paroled him only when they could secure
for him good employment. As a result, of
1,063 men out on parole, only twenty-four
were returned for crimes. In Canada there
are at present, he said, 300 men out under
parole and one agent of the government
was sufficient to look after them.
A. K. Saunders of South Carolina, chair
man of the Board of Charities, told of the
experiences of some women In his state
who tried to get the legislature to establish
a reformatory for the whites, and when
they investigated found there were only
two white and fifty-eight colored In the
reformatory, which is now for both races.
He was in favor of the Indeterminate sen
tence law, and said he would go back to
South Carolina and help the women get
whatever they wanted In that line.
Prevention and Care.
In his report on preventive and reforma--tory
work Fred H. Paddleford of the In
dustrial school at Golden, Colo., advocated
the establishment of civil service employes
of state Institutions and he wanted a stone
wall a mile high constructed between the
young girls In the home and the fallen
women. Better homes, he said, would
make better boys and girls, and he advo
cated educating parents to make their
homes attractive and teach their chil
dren to love to obey the home laws and
they would naturally obey the laws of the
state. He deplored the ease with which
boys could board a railroad train and hustle
over the country. This was the desire of
most every boy In his early life, find too
frequently after the first ride, they oecame
tramps. The child should be carefully
studied and it he developed any particular
talent It should be encouraged. If a child
Is a book worm he should not be made to
sit behind a machine and the reverse. The
speaker was In favor of abolishing child
labor absolutely.
Superintendents who have charge of In
stitutions In which children are kept, he
said, should be, tactful and have patience.
A school teacher should be chosen for her
tact as well as her education. Teachers
or superintendents should never accept
presents from the boys nor should they
ever have any commercial dealings with
the Institution in which (hey .ire em
ployed. The report and recommendation seemed
to strike a responsive chord and none of
the delegates obpected to It though a num
ber endorsed It.
Evening; Session.
- The Prison association met at the St.
Paul church tonight, it having been de
cided at a late hour not to go to the
Auditorium. Addresses were delivered by
Fred H. Mills, sales agent of the New
York state prison, on the "Essentials nf a
Prison System." and by D. H. Tuboln,
chaplain In the United States navy at Bos
ton. Dr. George Miller of Omaha came down
to induce the 'convention to go on record
as opposed to county attorneys railroading
prisoners to the penitentiary In their ambi
tion to make a record. . Dr. Miller bail In
mind the conviction of Charles Russell;
who after serving four years for murder,
was discovered to be innocent and was
recently pardoned. Dr. Miller also Wflntnl
some one to read the address f Governor
Seymour, which he read here two years
ago. The program, however, was full and
Dr. Miller could not Induce the convention
to take action.
C. V. Collins of New York, superintendent
of states prison, will be the next president
of the National Prison association and
Amos N. Butler of Indiana, secretary of
the, State Board of Charities, will be the
next secretary. The next meeting will he
held in Albany, N. Y. "The two committees
appointed on organization and place of
meeting decided the above at a meeting
held tonight and it is not probable that
the association will overrule the recom
mendation of the committees. Chicago,'
Columbus, O., and other places asked for
the next meeting, but Albany landed the
plum Insofar as the . committee was con
cerned. President Garvin and Secretary
Mulligan both announced they would not
serve again. The committee will report to
the association tomrrow. ,

DOCTOR COSV1CTKD OF HKRKWT
Dismissed from Ministry by Nebraska
City Presbytery.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, OCt. S4. (Special. )-Dr. Carl
Hullhorst, a physician and Presbyterian
minister, was today suspended from the
ministry by . the Nebraska City Presby
tery for alleged heresy, after a secret trial
lasting all day. The charges against Dr.
Hullhorst are as follows:
The first charge was that the doctor haa
repudiated the Weatmlnster confession. In
answer he said he refused to accept any
confession excepting that of Christ Him
self. "I am the way," said He. It is
unreasonable, declared the doctor, to
think that people 2tX years ago In time
of superstition and meager aclentlflo
knowledge should have a better knowledge
of Christ and His doctrines than the people
of today. For this reason he confessed
that he repudiated the confession and
everything else of the life outside of the
New Testament.
The second charge was that !ie denies
the trl-personallty of God. Answering he
said that any school boy would vouch for
It, that to say three Is one and one Is
three would be equivalent to upsetting the
universe. Jesus never said a word about
three persons In the Godhead. The doctor
said he understood it that God Is the
Father, man with Christ at the head Is
the Son end the love that unites the two
Is the Holy Splrlt-Father. Son and Holy
Spirit.
The third charge was that Dr. Hullhorst
denies the fall of Adam and the conse
quent wreck of the race. To this he In
sisted that the story of the fall Is a mvth.
The First Genesis he credits with hlKh
ethical value, aside from the myth, since
It teaches monism and theism, (not tri
thelsm) snd the fundamental truth of the
Christian religion, namely, that man Is
made In the Image of God. He did not
believe that a mythical tree could result
In the wreck of the race. Such Is silly, he
said.
The fourth charge was that the doctor
denies the vicarious sacrifice of Christ.
To this he pleaded not guilty. He denies,
he said, onjy the Westminster theory con
cerning it. Christ lived and died for the
world, but through love and not through
blood. The doctor Illustrated his theory
In contrast to that of Westminster which,
moderized, he said, would be such as
this:
"Suppose 2.000 students of the State uni
versity, excepting one, should mutiny
against the nuthorltv of the faculty and
should later wish readmisslon to the school.
Accordingly the faculty would send Chan
cellor Andrews to the students and he
would tell them that the facultv would
like to forget but could not. However,
a wonderful method of salvation had been
discovered. The one student who remained
faithful should be nailed to the 'ence In
the slley and as soon as his blood should
trickle onto the ground forgiveness would
be extended. Such a theory of atonement
Is prevented by the Westminster confes
sion and I don't believe In It. I believe
the death of Jesus was the natural climax
of a life of love and that by submitting
to It nil patiently He made ai atonement
for all bv fusing them together by His dy
ing love."
The doctor said It was poor policy to the
rising generation to say. "You may be as
good as you like, but unless you swallow
the rib and the snake and the whale you
will be damned anyway."
