Difference of opinion a to society'
Tight to sterilise criminals arose in the
National Prison congress Monday to such
an extent that Dr. D. C. Peyton of Jefferson-villa,
Ind.f In whose prison steril
ization he been practice,! for years, was
- indirectly called a coward by Warden
Hellstrom of the North Dakota peniten
tiary. Dr. Peyton. In an address, took the
position that heredity 1 a more powerful
influence than environment and ended by
raying "the power of . propagation must
be taken away from the defective man
and woman."
"environment is the prime cause of
crime." replied Warden Hellstrom. "Do
away with your redllght districts and
your saloons and educate your children
properly and you will have no more
seed of jails and penitentiaries. The idea
of sterilization is the ' expression of a
coward who shrinks from his responsi
bility to society. If we are to . sterilize
them, let us hark back to the dark ages
and brand them, too, so that every per
son they meet will know at a glance
that they are criminals."
Recreation for PHtoaeri.
J.; K- Codding, warden of the, Kansas
penitentiary, told of base ball and other
recreations for prisoners in his institu
tion and in the discussion which followed
the general expression- was that base ball,
athletic contests moving picture shows
and other recreations render prison dis
slpllne easier by affording opportunity
to reward those who do well and to de
prive of pleasure those .who break the
rules.
The statement, of Chaplain "L .Cornu
of Walla Walla. Wash., that Sunday
afternoon In his institution is devoted to
base ball, 'raised a protest from others,
particularly Warden Codding of Kansas
and Warden Saunders of. Iowa. Mr.
Codding said he didn't let the men play
ball on Sunday because he didn't expect
them to advocate Bunday ball when they
got out. Mr. Bounders ald his men
played Saturday afternoon; that he would
allow the men to play: Sunday if they
couldn't play any ether day. -
Warden James of Oregon said he not
only had base ball games, at which the
men were allowed to robt until, they
were hoarse, and weekly moving picture
shows, but he intended this fall to put
in a gymnasium. . . . .
Several wardens' said the reason , that
prisoners in many prisons are locked up
all day Sunday Is that the state Is too
stingy to hire a few extra guards.
A Colorado woman' delegate said the
men In the Colorado prison play base
ball without guards, and in the rock
camps they enjoy themselves at various
sports, without guards, all day Sunday.
Warden Saunders of Iowa told of taking
. eight men. under . heavy sentence, to a
farm to cut corn. Each one had a long
heavy corn knife, yet Mr. Saunders
brought them all back, though he was
unarmed.
Special Training Xeeded.
The number of persons in penal Insti
tutions who belong to the class whose
minds have a certain amount of develop
ment, but who are too weak to reach, the
full mental standarjL of civilization, was
declared surprisingly large by Frank
Moore, superintendent of the New Jersey

Indian Fair at
Cheyenne Agenoy
is Great Success
PIERRE. N, -D..- Oct l6.-iSpeclai.)
The Indian fair at Cheyenne River In
dian agency was a great success and will
result in other efforts in that direction.
The estimate of visitors for the last two
days of the fair was placed at 3.000 a
day, and ' one of the features most often
mentioned by- these visitors was the en
tire absence "of fakirs of any description
whatever They were not allowed upon
the grounds', neither could they-locate'
anywhere nearer than the opposite bank
of the Missouri river, as the Indian
agent has absolute rule on the resevra
tlon.,and his orders are btcked by the
government, a factor the average fakir
does not care to buck' up against.
Cash prizes were awarded to the In
dians by districts on . the reserve for.
ownership of largest- number of cattle,
largest . number of horses and greatest
number of acres under - cultivation.

that !ls, first visit to Omaha was a little
moi than twenty yeurs ago as a young
man sent out to look alter the inter

- "A peculiar coincident," be said, "is at
that tlmo I retained Mr. Webstar to rep
resent our clients here locally la that
litigation. We applied to Judge Dundy
for a receiver, and he agreed to sign
tie paper and make the appointment If
I would present them before S o'clock
next morning, at which hour he was to
I tart on a beat hunt. I worked through
the entire night writing out the applica
tions, affidavit and order lu longhand,'
and presented them to the Judge before
the Urn expired. I immediately took
the receiver with me to Bloux City to

"Th'j rtur.djrd Oil reoiganlsation." he
said, in simple as compared with that
of Hie ;obcef iiual. The Standard Oil
had thirty-seven dllferent corporations in

to tip the basket over sad let each ono i oil
