L. A WELSH. Local Forecaster The Big Land Show BLOT PRISON REFORM MEETING STARTS First Session of the National Con gress of Five Days is Held Saturday Night. HENDERSON AND PATTON SPEAK Three Meetings Scheduled for To . day, Including- Mass Meeting, at Whirh Bishop Tlhen and Others Will speak. Colonization of the morally weak on the farm and longer sentences, with the fea ture of "Interminate" sentences and parole under constant Kupervlclon. were advocated by Dr. Charles R. Henderson of the University of Chicago, at th opening session of the National Prison congress at the Rome hotel Saturday night. " "We have the beginnings of a more rational and effective method of dealing with the incapable, diseased and morally weak, habitual drunkards, men made wrecks by drugs and vlgioua indul gence.' said Lr. RtuharO"- "put legis lators and their legal a4vUor should learn how futile, even damaging, are the methodic of treating person of thi clas under present legal conception. Nhort drnteseei I'seleas. , "Tha prolonged period of medical oon trbl. "with steady' labor, much of It In th open air, is absolutely essential to any degree of succors with thi dlsoouraging group of offenders. The short Jail sen tence has been demonstrated by thous. ands of cases to be worse than uaelees, costly to Hoclety, destructive of what little physical and moral stamina may re main. The farm colonies of Belgium, Hoi- Hand, . Bwltserland and similar experi ments in the United 8tatea point the new way. All the world know, or may know, that under present law, tn all nation, every year thousands of men are turned loote to. prey upon the community, a con stant and ubiquitous menance to Ufa and prosperity, and the public authorities know that they are not fit to be at liberty. Thi I a mockery of Justice and tends to make lynoh law an riots re spectable. 'When It is morally certain, aa Judged by paet conduct and repeated crimes, that a cimlnal will attack peaceful cit- lens, It 1 monstrous to let him go merely because he has served a definite time to expiate tha guilt of a single specific act.. Mhovld Watch Those Paroled. - "Legislators are under moral obligation te make legal provision for aufficient corns of parole officers to supervise the conduct of convicts out on parole. It is an injury to th parole system to set a large number of convicts even con ditionally free without proper uprvlslon. Dr. Henderson ' asked the congress to define "indeterminate sentence" as not to mean that apy Indefinite, arbitrary and Irresponsible power should be given the prison administration, but that leg islatures and courts should continue t- hold control over th penalties for ertm? and the methods of treating criminal:. He asked the congress to exprtuJ a positive demand; as follow- Demand on Legislators. . "We do Insist that the legislatures pro vide sentences sufficiently prolonged for effective educational methods In the case of educable persons, capable of reforma tion, and control auffielently pro longed In th case of habitual, profes sional, dangerous criminals. The period should be fixed, not by some arbitrary guess at what certain acts 'deserve ' but by a scientific study of the measure neceuary to prevent crime and to re form those who have formed anll-8'elal habits. "In carrying out 1he measures of re formation, education and social protec tion, we ask that the ncekar modifi cations be made in Judicial methods.

Iat January, when the first Omaha Land show waa held, the Auditorium housed the exhibits, and then In Ihe ( building there wa room to spare. When plana for the aecond show were being considered. 11 was felt that thin year the Interest would be much greater than laat, For thi reaeon It wa deemed necessary to euute larger quarter tor the exhibit. Consequently. Ihe Coliseum at Twentieth and Spruce street waa se cured. This Is th largest building west of Chicago, and it waa thought that here there would b an abundane of space for all exhibitor. . foliseaia and Three Teat. Now it baa been demonstrated that this great " building la too small, far ail of the space has been taken gnd It has be come necessary to erect three large cir cus tents on the oulalde to gecoraraodat th exhibitors who wer late In filing their applications.
