In Habit
New Superintendent of
Prisons Wants to E1;-
tablish Modern Fac-
tory Plants
3 COL :10 m1 HD—WOUI.D TRAIN
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.——'i‘each
convicts the habits of industry.’
Give them a chance to earn some
money—accumulate a "stake" to
fall back on when they are re-
leased.
Train them to earn their own liv-
ing honestly after they leave the
"pen."
This is the program of Luther C.
.White. new U. S. superintendent of
prisons.
Willie, to cait‘y out his program,
wm ask CongIcss at Ills next ses-
sion to approve the equipment of all
federal prisons with large, modern
manufacturing plants.
Establishment of such plants. he
stated. will accomplish the three
ends which he has in view and will
be the greatest reformativc meas-
ure that could possibly be taken.
“'ork Habit Important
, “Getting a man into the habit of
working is all important." he said.
“Once he forms the habit. it is
very apt to stick—and work will
keep almost anyone out of trouble.
“Also, he should be ‘paid for the
work he does while in the peniten-
tiary.
“This will give him a little
money to send his dependants. and
it will give him something to go on
after he gets until he Ilnds a job.
“Even if it isn't much——perhaps
only $50——he wont have to turn im-
mediately to his old gang for aid.
“Getting out of prison with .only
the $5 presented to him by his kind
Uncle Sam, and being forced to turn
to his old criminal pals for help, has
sent many a. man back behind the
bars.
"Teaching a man to earn his liv-
ing honestly by tiaining him to
walk with up- -to- date machineiy is
another great factor in keeping him
out of tlouble.
“If a. man is equipped
'and hold a good job. the
are in favor of his doing it.
“But to do all this we must have
to obtain
chances
modern manufacturing facilities in
our prisons. We have some now,
but not neahy enough. They em-
ploy only a small percentage of the
prisoners.
“That is why I am going to make
my appeal to Congress.
“11' I am successful, I will feel
that 11 great step has been taken
toward curing our prison ills."
Prisons Too Growded
White characterized federal pri-
son conditions as being satisfactory
on the whole, except for a tendency
‘ toward overcrowding.
As a. result, the government is
forced to send some of its prisoners
.to state prisons.
“That is no easy thing to do." he
said. “as most of the state prison;
are crowded. Also, some of them
do not come up to our require-
ments. and we do not want to send
our prisoners there. Others come
up to our sinndaids, but don’t
want our prisoners!"
White ascribed present crowded
federal penitentiary conditions in
part to prohibition, but said this
was not as great a. cause as he had
at first imagined.
“I recently made a. careful sur-
vey," he said. "and found that a
trifle less than 15 per cent. of our
prisoners are serving time for dry
low violations. Considering the
number of. arrests and convictions.
this is very small.
“The reason is that we cannot
take a man whose sentence is less
than a year and a day. The ma.-
jority of dry law violators are given.
shorter terms, and are therefore
sent to‘ state institutions.
Many Held on Drug Cases
"A strange twist to this is that a
man with a ten months' sentence
has more actual time to serve than
a. man sentenced to a. year and a
day. The year and a day man gets
72 days off for good behavdor, while
the ten months' man has to serve
his sentence out."
White said that more convicts
are doing time in federal prisons for
violation of, the Harrison anti-nar-
cotic not than for any other cause.
One-third of: the inmates of Leaven-
worth and Atlanta. and 43 per cent.
\ of those confined in McNeill's Island
penitentiary are drug law violators,
he declared.

Kiddie Picnic approaching fast, lo-
cal merchants are displaying most
liberal co-operation in helping to
make this the day of days for the
juvenile members of the Harris.
State and Marvin Playgrounds. one
to be remembered.
In a, letter to the Playground As-
sociation. Manager Neville Hayley bf
lioton Point, stated that all of the
park's amusements together with
the park's entire staff would be at
the sole disposal of the children on
August 81. and if there was any-
thing he could do to further the
children's enjoyment. he would be
pleased to hear from tho Associa-
tion; while Frank Pfahl of salt wa-
ter tally fame expressed a. desire to
do his share for a. successful pienio
by an offer to fill all the lunch boxes
with some of that good candy. A
phone call from the Savoia Rest-
aurant brought the good news that
000 home made cup cakes would be
made fresh for the kiddies on the
morning of the big party.
That the lunch bones that have'
already been donated by the Trow~
bridge Box Company. will be over-
loaded with rare treats can be
judged from the many contributions
already received. some of the con-

Settlement Reached
Yesterday —— No In-

Bill'SSlilfi. Belgium. Aug. 10.~
(AM. The Belgian departlnont of
finances today began 1111 study of the
country's obligations to the United
States.
It is understood at least 48 hours
must elapse beforo the effect the
agreement will exercise on Belgium's

sidered satisfactory or not.
WASi-lINGTON. Aug. 19.—-(Al").
An agreement for funding the Bel-
gian war debt to .hc United States,
with premission of all interest on
loans preceding the Armistice and
part of the interest on the balance
was reached yesterday between the
American and Belgian debt commis-
slou.
The program, approved by Presi-
dent Coolidge at Plymouth. Vt.
Monday was described as recognizing
‘a weighty moral obligation" grow-
ing out of assurances given by Presi-
“dent Wilson dating the Veisailles
peace confeiencc, and also the 11;; ht
of Belgium to paIticular and spctial
treatment by the United States.
Subject to ratification by Congress
and the Belgian - government, the
agreement provides that $171,780,-
000 loaned to Belgium during the
actual fighting with Germany shall
be paid free of all accrued or future
interest. The Belgians had insisted
that the loans represented in this
amount should be considered 11 debt
by Germany to the United States
because such a proposal "was accep-
ted by President Wilson at the peace
conference." Such transfer of re-
sponsibility frOm Belgium to Ger-
many 11'as refused by the Anterican
emumirsion, but it declared that
"while no legal obligation rests upon
the United States in the matter,
there does continue a weighty moral
obligation as a result of assurances
given which entirely differentiates
this sum from all other debtsdue
the United States from foreign coun-
tries."
In consequence. the agreement
laid down a schedule of repayment
for tho pro-armistice loans which
provides that Belgium shall pay, 31.-
000,000 in 1926 and the same amount
in 1927. with increases in each of
the next four years until in 1932
the annual payment becomes 82.-
900,000. It will continue at this fig-
ure until 1087, when a final pay-
ment of 82.280,000 will be due.
“Post armistice debt" was fixed at
$246,000,000 including accrued in:
terest. While interest on this was
fixed at the rate of 3 1-2 per cent.
the Americans agreed to forgo a part
of the interest for the first ten years
