UK meeting of the National Pi1im.ii association, which baa Just born held at Lincoln, brought to Ne braska men of national and even International reputations, and so wide In the scope of the association that every part of the country was represented, there being delegates In attendance from New York and Washington and from Can ada and Florida and Intermediate states. Whether from personal acquaintance with aome of the local prison workers or fur other reasons, the Impression prevailed gen erally In the capital city that the meeting would bring together men and women of a sentimental turn, devoid of practical ideas and whoso object was to tear open prison doors and break down prison bars whatever the result to society would be. An ac quaintance -with the personnel of the dele-' gates shortly dispelled this belief and upon , the adjournment of the meeting all Lincoln united In saying that not a more dignified, conscientious, thoughtful, practicable, con servative delegation of men and women ever assembled in that city of conventions. Authors' of books, diggers Into science, heads of great Institutions, university pro fessors,' physicians, heads of great Indus trial enterprises, theologians, men and women who have studied the prisons of every country on tho globe these were the people who Composed the National Prison association. Tears and flowers as the salvation of criminals and the pre vention of crime had no place In this con vention. Instead, the questions were studied from a scientific and economic standpoint and men with wide experience and of deep learning read the papers and made the arguments. While every possible phase of prison work was discussed and many recom mendations were made, the one point upon which all seemed to agree was for an In determinate sentence law, a Juvenile court law and a parole system. The special study of the association seemed to be to devise a way to save the children, and thus pre vent the Increase of the criminal through ... yk-'T A D. BKKMKR.

The delegate who went straight horue to the hearts- pf those he met and who ruled the convention with an Iron hand, bossing president and delegates without discrimina tion, was the secretary. Dr. J. L. Mllllgnn. He has Just rounded out 37 years as chap lain of the Western penitentiary at Alle gheny, Pa., and the seventeenth year as secretary of the National PriMon assocla- tlon. He is as soft and pliablo and as ap proachable and as sociable as a man can be, and he Is Just the reverse when he wants to be. A stream of delegates passed through his room one morning, after he had stated he would not again be a candidate for secre tary. Each had expressed regret that the doctor would not again be a candidate and nearly all offered to wager that he would be. Finally a lone delegate filed In. "Dr. Milligan, I am awful glad to see you. I understand they are going to make you secretary again." "You do, do you; well you understand wrong." "Well, I guess they will make you take It." x "They won't! They won't! You stop that talk, I won't have it! No, sir. I won't and that settles It," and before the man had gotten out the doctor had told a number of good funny Incidents, and proved that he was as good about bluffing as he was about Jollet for the last seven years and la rscog- Budupest some time ago and was accom- ulzed as a student of criminology. panled there by Dr. Barrows. speeches," he said, "but his domestic life Is Ideal.

Dr. Barrows waa formerly a congress man from Massachusetts, having been elected in 1890. That same year he repre sented tha United States at the Interna tional prison congreas, held at Paris. In speaking of Dr. Barrows a delegate said: "Dr. Barrows atarted out as a stenog rapher and Is today one of the best In the country. He was private secretary to William M. Seward - when be was secre tary of state and was later private secre tary to Hamilton Fish. He was the same he wanted to smoke, but he couldn't stand the ship's cigars, so I gave him one. That one cost me half of those I had. I offered one to Dean Fair and he begged me for the balance. Having no cigars I easily kept my promise to myself to quit smoking." Dr. Milligan has on several occasions rep resented the government at international prison meetings In the old country, and he has visited most of the big prisons on the continent. He Is unmarried, but the con vention thought so much of him that It pre sented him with an elegant diamond pin. So he Is not without admirers. System nt Jollet. "No prisoner can escape from Jollet," re marked Warden Murphy of that world famous Institution to a group of delegates who were discussing prisons In general. Now Warden Murphy Is one of the dele gates that Booth tried to have kidnapped for. a center because of his magnificent proportions and naturally the group con cluded the prisoner could not escape if the warden was at the switch. "No prisoner can escape for this reason," continued the warden. r-i ijr v .. - - - iv. m OrCJifTrf '''- ,1 1- o tat ii iii 1.! a. u id rni'i I - - J" mi) rj( -! J i 4 taW : 'V " if 'ft . ; istJ v.

A big man from every point of view who attended the convention was the president, Albert Garvin of Wethersfleld, Conn. His photograph gives a faint Idea of his pro portions and the manner In which he con ducted the session showed his bigness In a mental line. He Is warden of the Con necticut penitentiary and has been known for years as one of the best posted men on criminology In tho country. Nebraska's Big- Man. Speaking of big mad physically and men tally, Nebraska Itself lined up In a very creditable manner and Governor Mickey's warden Beemer came In for more com pliments from the visitors than any person In the whole gathering. He was compli mented not only for having what many of the delegates said was "the best managed penitentiary In tha United States and tha cleanest," but because of his genial per-, sonallty. Warden Beemer Is full of Btorles and experiences and when he gets to talk ing he never falls to bold the attention of his crowd. Here Is one that he told, and he actually believed It himself: A number of wardens were discussing the various ways convicts had of smuggling dope Into a prison and It camo Warden Beemer's time to test the crowd. "We have had lots of trouble keeping dope out of the prison." he began, "and we have come in contact with some pretty clever tricks. ' One day a convict received a letter signed with the numbers 60369. We studied for several days trying to And out what that signature meant, but couldn't, so concluded to give the prisoner the let ter and then keep a watch on him. The very next day I happened to look out on the railroad track that comes up in the yard and there was a box car with the same numerals stamped on Its side. We went out and searched the car thoroughly and down under the bottom on a part of the brakebeam we found a great big pack age of gum opium. Of course, we con fiscated it and then kept a strict watch upon the prisoner, but he never went near the car, nor neither did any other convict." "I was Just fixing to say that the only case of opium being smuggled Into Jollet," broke In Warden Murphy, "In recent years waa when a man and woman with a child In long dresses came to see a convict. While they were talking the woman slipped the opium out from beneath the child's dress. Warden Beemer's story, however, prevented me from telling you this one." Davis as a Worker. It was this same Warden Beemer and John Davis, clerk of the State Board of Charities and Corrections, that carried tha Invitation to Qulncy last year for the na tional congress to meet here this year. It was the same two men that Insisted on the delegates accepting the invitation. Speaking of John Davis, William. Ruehr wnin, auperlntendeni of tha city work house of. Cincinnati, said: "That man Davis ia the most energetlo worker that ever attended a national con gress. I was on the committee that se lected Lincoln, and I either had to do that or have John Davis on my back con stantly. We took five or six ballots before the question waa settled and It was Davis that kept us rounded up constantly." Other delegates to the convention sung the praises of Davis for the great car with which he looked after the details of the meeting. He was never still a minute whether in the convention hall or out of It. Judge Bryant, another Nebraskan who was Instrumental In getting the Juvenile court law enacted by the late legislature, went on record favoring making the birth day of John Howard a holiday, giving him credit for founding the National Prison false" teeth that they were too even, like asaoclatlon. He introduced a resolution to CORNER IN WORK ROOM. a white picket fence and didn't look a bit like her own he told me to aend her down. He first makes a plate of wax and Inserts it, subject to thhe criticism of the wearer. Then If they don't approve, the teeth can be readily cltanged and the proper appear ance brought about. . He told me the above and much mora. I wanted to tell my friends about It and that effect, but the convention referred it to a committee to report at" the next meet ing. As the committee is supposed to be hostile to the move. Judge Bryant believes bis resolution will never see the light oC day. A. V. Collins of New York, connected with Sing Sing, the new president, did not attend the meeting. Amos W. Butler, cleric and, as there was no one 'wailing.

He told us that the better class of people in country towns the drill hurt the doctor would stop and came to Omaha in large numbers to take apply soma remedy to alleviate the pain advantage of the superior work done by before continuing.

I sent my husband around to get some pictures of a part of the office, and when he gets those ready they'll help make up the Illustrated Issue that tells . ' of Progressive Omaha. All I cn say, in closing, la, if yu wish to know an ideal dentist in an ideal office, go to Dr. Fickea, elected secretary. Mr. Butler was at the meeting a few days and read an interesting paper. He left Lincoln before his nam was even suggested as secretary. Judge M. B. Reese, president ml the State Prison association, and Dr. George Martin. the secretary, attended every session and No. 338 Bee building, Omaha, or if you live both were recognized in the association as out of town, write for one of his little leading members.
