THE ADMISSION OF VISITORS. | The Branch Penitentiary at Fol-| som Is Not a Popular Institution, | ACROSS THE BAY MUCH PREFEHKED.L Judges Always Importuned to Sen-| tence Offenders to the Marin | County Prison, | The Legislature at the last session ap- propriated for the support of the San Quentin State prison for two years the sum of $200,000. An additional sum of | $120,000 was appropriated for salaries of officers and employes of the San Quentin prison for two years. The aggregate al- lowance of $320,000 is a pretty large sum of money to be taken from the taxpayers, but there would be no complaint if the institution was conducted to punish rather than piease criminals. The number of convicts at the San | Quentin prison in round numbers is 1200. | Many of them, after conviction, were sent there by request. The prospect of serving aterm at Folsom prison is not pleasant to the criminal mind, hence requests of the convicted, backed by the influence of counsel, are put forward to get San Quen- tin designatea as the place of seryitude. An ex-Judge of one of the departments | of the criminal couris in this city said on | this subject yesterday: *“While I was on the bench I was requesied in neariy every | instance of sentence to sena the convicted man to San Quentin. I am told that life in that prisou is much easier than penal servitude in Folsom. Criminals prefer the climate on the bay to that of the foot- hills in Sacramento County. The sum- mer weather at Folsom is notat all agree- able to the convicts. ‘Again, the convicts at Folsom are in aseuse isolated. The place is so far from San Francisco that the convicts- cannot see their friends and acquainiances as often .as they like. The cbances of escape from the Folsom insti- tution are remote. Even if the fugitive gets beyond the quarries or across the American River, the path to freedom is not clear. “No; Ido not know as a matter of fact | that ~pium is smuggled to the convicts at ! Ban Quentin, but I am informed that the Pprisouers there bave a comparatively easy life. As between the two prisons I know that ail the conviots prefer San Quentin. 1 snould say that Folsom is a penitentisry where criminals are punished and San Quentin an easy-going institution where they are simply detained and permitted to lead a lazy life. 1dv not subscribe to the belief that prisons should be main- tained to reform criminals. To my mind the prison should be a place of punish- | ment for crime—a place where the convict should be compelled to work. To many | of them work is the greates. punishment | that could be inflicted.” It is common talk among men who are familiar with the way affairs are con- ducted at the institution across the bay that San Queniin is more of a pleasure resort than a penitentiary. Rules regard- ing the reception of visitors are not very strict in the main, and suc are made are frequently relaxed to accommodate the guests inside. I{ the supplies fur- nished by contract do not come up to the mark of the specification as to quality the guedts of the State make a great roar and better food is at once provided. The fact is that the convicts in San Quentin prison are betier ciothed, better nourished and more considerately treated than 50 per cent of the working population of the State. It is not surprising, therefore, that the hardened criminal should appeal to the Judge 1o bz sentenced to San Quentin, where tne life is free from the hardship of toil, snd where all the necessities and | bills in seasons of adversity as well as in | | State prison, and I have always expressed | | this opinion. some of the luxuries or life are provided at the expense of the taxpayers. There is hard!y room to doubt the cor- rectness of reports that prisoners across the bay do get supplies of opium from the outside. The vigilance of the prison au- | thorities has aot been equal to the task of suppressing the 1raffic. The convict seems to have every liberty desired excepttne privilege of walking out when the sojourn becomes oppres-ive. The yellow litera- ture, which is excluded from the libraries of ihe land on account ol its corrupting and demoraliz:ng influence, is admitted | to the prisons. Under such conditions it | is not surprising that the convicts regard themselves as heroes out of luck. Every ciear-minded man who has given | come time to the study of public affairs | has reachea the conclusion that Caiitor- | nia must change methods in the manage- ment of State institutions. The number of attaches on the payroll of every institu- | tion is out of proportion to the general ex- pense of maintenance. The Home for Feeble-minded, for example, gets $100,000 for support of inmates and $60,000 for | salaries. For the support of the State | prison at Folsom the Legislature ailowed $119,000 and for salaries $100,000. Every | institution has a standing army of at- taches, and the taxpayver must foot the seasons of prosperity, | “The fact that there are so many more prisoners at San Quentin than at Folsom,”” said Prison Direcior Fitzgerald tnis even- ing, ‘s partly due to the request fre- quently made by prisoners to be sent to the nearer penitentiary from San Fran- cisco. Ii certainly does not add to the discip'ine at a prison i0 have i's inmates 100 near tbeir friends, and undoubtedly San Quentin is too near San Francisco for the enforcement of the very best discipline. Under the circumstances, and taking into consideration the great number of pris- oners and their character at San Quentin, | the discipline is certainly good. Itisu | mistake on the purt of Judges to favor | prisoners in the matter of a choice of penitentiaries, but it is done and we are unable to prevent it. We can, however, transfer prisoners at our pleasure, but this incurs quite an expense for transporta- tion for prisoners and guards, and is not done except under urusual circumstances, “San Quentin is not a good place for In this, I think, all the di- | rectors are unanimous, and San Qnentin was referred to in our report to the last Legislature as being very inferlor to Yol- | som for prison purposes. - The ruies gov- erning the two institutions are the same, with the exception of orders made by each warden. he - friends of prisoners are allowed to visit them once a month | and to write a letter once a month, but the warden has power to modify these rules. . There is no more freedom or privi- lege at San Quentin'than at Folsom, but | on account of - its- nearness to San.Fran- | cisco . the wisiting privilege is taken | greater advantage of, “There isno doubt in my mind that | Folsoru is an ideal place for a prison, and | sli'the convicts in this State should be kept there. It would cause an immense saving to the State to bave one peniten- tiary. It could be constructed at Folsom | very cheaply, because ail the granite and | most of the labor is already there. In ad- | dition $2000 per monih would be saved for | power alone, as-at Folsom there 1s unlim- | ited power and it costs nothing. To have one large prison would also mean a sav- ing of noiless than $30 000 annually n salaries, because it would not take as many guards to look aft-r a ] the prison- ers in a modern-built prison as itrequires | at San Quentin. The prison at San Quen- tin is not the best place to contine crim- inals. Itis impossible to segregate them ould be done. They are ali together and cannot be kept apartas 1 believe they shouid be, and, consequently, when there is a Jittle trouble there it spreads rapaly, but it is not the fault of the discipline, but of the improper construction of the prison itself. “I believeif the State were to seil the Ban Quentin prope:ty that there would be more than enough realized to build a modern and adequate prison at Folsom. It is too far from San Francisco to permit of frequent visits, and this would of course be a great help in maiutaining duscipline. “'At the vresent time there are 1325 pris- oners at San Quentin and 900 at Folsom. Ballington Booth of the Volunteers, who was here recently, toid me that the sani tary conditions at San Quentin are better than he bas noticed at any other prison in this country, and he said that it wason account of its locality—one ot the best from a healthy point of view. “If the State should build one large prison at Folsom it would be buiit on modern principles and in such a manner that there would be no conpeciion what- ever between different ciasses of prison- | get tozether under any circumstances. tuere was anything like mutiny it would | in such a pl S:n Quentin, but with proper buildin:: that gathered in | analysis,” sonorous tonality and absolute | swayed in sympathy with the interpreta- | and from the rendering of these it cannot | 1f be confined entirely to the section in | which it broke out, and the other prison- | At Foli- cannot get the San Francisco newspapers, and they are mucn more confined in the real sense of the word than at Sun Quenun. It would be impossible to have the 2300 prisoners in this State all confined in ch ace as s at Folsom it would be an easy, economical, practical and safe propos:tion. “With one large prison only one admi istration would bs required, and the dit- ference would be oniy an increase in the number of guards. In the matter of sup- plying the prison, it would be more eco- nomicsl to have them togetner, because | contrac's are now let on Lhe basis of hav. ing to be delivered at either place, whereas | there would be a saving in baving all the | material delivered to one vlace. There is nothing to be said in favor of San Quen- | tin as a prison, and it would be a beuefit to the State and more in keeping with the purposes for which desperate men are con- fined 10 have tnem all in a modern peni- tentiary at Folsom. SCHARWENKA'S OPENING. The Famous Composer-Pianist Played atthe California Last Night, As a piano-player Scharwenka is nota sensation for everyboay. He is not a pas- sionate Pole, his hair is short and unneu- rotic, and the somewhat small audience | the California Theater | ast night on the occaston of his firs: re- cital was not enthusiastic except when he played the “Two Polish Dances” of his own composition and the Liszt transcrip- | tion of the “William Tell’”’ overture. | The most of the audience mistook these | for masterpieces of melody and pianistry | and made much sound of appreciation. As a whole the audience was not a suc- cess. | However, Scharwenka is an important | artist for the music-lover who wants sim- ple urt undiluted by ‘‘scenery and effects,”” | and his interpreiation of the Beethoven | & passionata is a8 matter of musical record. He played it last night with beautiful technical perfection. Scharwenka's temperament is far from torrid—in fact, his pulse is of an even | beat and he is never carried away by him- | sel. But there is an intellectual grip, a cerebral authority in his work, that | realizes the serious side of this sonata as more hysterical virtuosity could not realize it. His repose is phenomenaifand rather | than being unmagnetic 1t is especially at- tractive. Hisearnestnessisso patentand bis mode =0 quietly distinguished that they beautify and soften what might easily be caiied peaantry. In a way Scharwenka is a pedant, a teacher—in the broadest meaning of tne word—who has resolute ideas on piano playing. But there is something cordial and broad underlying this positiveness, and his executive abilities are so nicely adcquate to his theories ihat one is tion. Oa last night's programme were Cho- pin's Fan‘asie op. 49 ana Scherzo op. 31, | be saia that Scharwenka finds the happi- est outlet of his Polish nature in the most seauctive of Polish music. In the Scherzo he played with much’ finer im- agination than in the Faniasie and with | notable brilliance, but the real voluptuous- ness of the music was not forthcoming. The “Ricordanza” of Liszt and his own pieces—the “Two -Dances,” *‘Novelette,” “*Spanish Serenade’’ and ‘‘Staccato Study” —were given with good spring and some sense of capriciousness, but the Beetho- ven was the only reaily wonderful work of the night, Edward Xavier Roelker, the tenor who assists Scharwenka, sat in a box and was seen but not heard. The climete had him- by the throat, Mr. Friedlander saia. ASHTON STEYENS. Mrs. Goodspeed’s Estate. Judge Coffey yesterday settled the account of the Lucy C.

Lyons Ends His Life Rather Than Face a Shortage. WiS TO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED. The Story of His Crimes Told by Figures on a Bunch of White Cards. | DID HE TRY TO BURN THE BOOKN? Some Light on a Strange Fire at the Pacific Gas Company's Office. ! W. J. Lyons, cashier of the Pacific Gas Improvement Company, committed sui- cide vesterday afternoon in the Berkeley | hills by sending a bullet throug. his| heart. He was short in his accounts. His methods of covering his shortages | were exposed by some memoranda found on cards in his pockets, and a mysterious fire wh ch broke out in tbe office of the gas company Monday night is believed to have been anvther means which he took to hide bis misdeeds. The body was found by J. W. Griffin and Sam Brown of Oskland, who were hanting. The spot where the cashier took his life is on the Davis ranch, near the line be- tween Alameda and Contra Costa coun- ties, a short discance west of the road leading from Berkeley to Wildcat Canyon. William H. Graves. a brakeman on the Berkeley local train, while ariving across the hills to Orinda Park about 1 o’clock in | the aiternoon, saw Lyons standing close to the Bay View saloon, near where the body was found. When Graves returned, about 5 o’clock, he learned that the man bad just been found dead by two hunters. He drove to Berkeley and notified Deputy Coroner Streighlif. A revolver with one chamber embpty was found near the body. The vest had been opened and the muzzle vlaced against the left breast before the fa:al shot was fired. Ths shirt suowed marks of powder burns, The dead cashier resided in Berkeley on Mary atreet, near Bancroft, way. He was 28 years of age, married, and had two young children, a boy and a girl. The wife was not notified of the suicide until late in the evening. She had grown un- easy because her husband bad not re- turned home, and was anxiously awaiting :im when the news of his death reached er. _Mrs. Lyons declared that she had no- ticed no signs of despondency in her hus- band’s behavior recently. He had started off in the morning as usual as if to catch the 7:30 train for the city, and she felt no LAVIGNE, WALCOTT AND SMITH. A meeiing of the representatives Lavizoe and Tom O'Rourke, met at Young Miichell’s emporium of sport last evening and exchanged compliments, so It was understood that the managers of the vugilists were to submit about balf a dozen names of different men who have acted in the capacity of referee heretofore and that it they could agree upon any one psrson that party was to be selected to referee the big fight of the 29th inst. Lavigne handed O'Rourke the names of six men, and O'Rourke presented Lavigne his card with the names of written thereon. The managers did not select any of the men named on either card and the vesult was that they conciuded not to select a referee until the day before the fight. of Lavigne anda Walcott, namely, Billy 1o speak. six or seven well-known sporting men If they fail to select a person acceptable to both at the last moment, then the president of the Occidental Club will name a man who must be acceptable to either side, according to the agreement, which Buly Lavigne. been signed by O'Rourke and The managers tossed for choics of corners alter 1ha referee part of the pro- gramme was dispensed w:th, and Lavigne won the {1 , remarking at the same i cerned. that he had achieved the first success so far as tLe preliminaries were con- Danver Ed Smith, who is now manager of ‘the Colonial Hotel of Victoria, B.

J. J. Lyons, father of the dead man, was almost prostrated when he heard of his son’s suicide. He was walking past the Berkeley Branch Morgue when he saw a crowd and heard tnat the body of a sui- cide had just been taken inside. Learn- ing that it was his sen, he was almost overcome and had to be restrained by the bystanders. J. A. Lvons, brother of the dead cashier, stated that his brother had been despond- | ent for some time. Many small white cards avith memo- shortages were found in the dead man’s pockets. ! where some of the money went, | cards indicate shortages dating back to October, 1896, and continuing to the | present. | As nearly as can be judged from the hundreds of scatterea memoranda on the cards, Lyons’ total shortage will amount | to at least $3000 or $4040. | Among the memoranda are the follow- | ing significant entries: 51335 short: less $105, con- sumption, §1230; December 16, $500, Decem- ber charged to November; Decem ber 28, $500, December charged to Now leaves No- vember $230 short (0.

The president of the company, Albert Mil.er, declared that Le knew nothing of any -hortage, and so the cards found in | Lyons’ pockets may be of unusual inter- est to him. *I know of no reason why Lyonsshould bave taken his lite,” he sa:d last nignt. “As to whether his accounts are all siraight or not only an examination can I cannot say at this time. othing was done in the way of ex- perting the books before Lyons took his life, ana inhere was no reason 10 suspect that all was not right. 1 cannot say that there will not be some discrepancies found | and neither can I <ay there will, “1do not believe that Mr. Lyons knew anything at all about the fire at the office Further than this I cannot say at this time."" The fire occurred in the office of the Pacitic Gas Improvement Company at 10:53 Monday evening. The depart- ment found the doors locked and discov- ered 1hat the flames were in tne closet of the office where some ciothing was destroved. The blaze was soon put out by use of the chemical engine. Fire Marshal Towe was yesterday noti- fied by Captain Comstock that the fires were suspic.ous and be asked for an in- vestigation. Clerks O’'Brien and Osmont worked in the oftice Monday night. O’Brien left about five. minutes to 10, while O<mont remained ten minutes longer, locked up and went home. At ten minutes to 11 the fire was discov- ered aud an alarm was turned in. The patrol went to the fire and extinguished 1t. Yesterday morning a policeman took a xey of the vault to Captain Comstock. Comstock found that the outer door of the vault had been opened by the combi- nation. Fire Marshal Towe went to the office and found the lockers were all burned out. The onter door of the vault was open and the boits were shot back, showing that whoever had opened it had becn ina great huny to getaway. Comstock had placed the key 10 the inner door and Towe found tuat it worked all right, On opening the inner door it was seen thatan attempt had been made t¢ burn the books, but the ciosing of the iuner door shut off all draughts and the firedied ou-. In speaking of the matter last night the Fire Marshal said: “Tne superintendent came to the office about 8:30 o’clock. I showed him the burned lockers and the vault, the door of which, I pointed out to him, had been opened by the use of the combination. I alsoshowed him the key in the inner door. +Itold him this was not the work of a burzlar, and asked him if the destruction of the bocks in the vault would benefit anvbody. He replied in the negative. “‘Chief Lees sent Detective SBilvey to me, and after talking the matter over we con- cluded that some one connected with the office had set the place on fire for aa ulte- rior purpose. “Itold the superintendentin the hear- ing of the cashier's brother that I must see him just as soon as possible, and I suppose his brother bad told him, ana suicide was the resuit. It was my inten- tion to have arrested tne cashier this morning. “The combination of the vault was only known to the superinterdent, the cashier NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOOD<. Napkins! Napkins! Extra Values!

When he arrived at the office the following morn- ing Le discovered without much investiga- tion that a fire nad taken place. When interrogated as to whetheror not the safe had been tampered with during his absence Mr. O'Brien remained silent. He knew nothing about the affairs of the deceased cashier, he said WORK ON THE CHARTER. The Committee Meets and Makes Some Amendments. There was a meeting of the charter con- large attendance. The first matter that came to the attention of the freeholders was a resolution, introduced by W. J. Cuthbertson, requesting taat the conven- tion nominate two boards of freeholders, one pledged to a charter providing for the separation of the legisiative and executive powers, the other pledged to a charter for the confederation of such powersin one body. By the terms of the resolution it was agreed that whichever board should be eiected the losing faction would sup- port the charter. Denman moved to indefinitely postpone the matter, while McNab was in favor of laying the matter on the table. He said that if the convention were 10 nominate two sets of men Rainey and Kelly, as well as Curry, would practically rule the poli- tics and offices of the city. The law commiitee reported that pro- portional representation was in conflict with section 13, article XX of the constitu- tion: that the provision tor free school- books is illegal and unconstitutional; and that the constituzion would have to be amended to get the improvemen:s asked for in this line. The following replies to the conven- tion’s questions were made: Q. 1—What constitutes the property qualifi- cstious of a freeholder under the Siate con- stitution? A.—The holding of real estate in fee simple | within the city or city and county where tne | vote is to be cast. Q. 2—1Is it necessary for the freeholder to own ihe realty in the cily and county of San Francisco? A.—Tt 18 necessary. Q. 3—To be eligible to the office of free- houder is it necessary to have been a resident of the city and county five consecutive years previous to the election? A.—It is necessary to be a quallfied elector of this city and county for five years consecu- tively next precediug a charter election to be eligible as a freeholder. Q. 4—Is 1tcompetent for the charter to pro- vide that the tax levy for city and coanty pur. poses be made in the month of June of each ear? by to so prov Several of the sections were amended in minor details, and it was agreed o reduce the Board of Fire Commissioners to three members. Dohrmann believed that the Fire Commissioners or some other body of city officers should have the power to condemn and teardown o:d and unsan- itary buildings. The matter was relerred to the miscellaneous committee, after which the board adjourned. A BRILLIANT ARREST, Policeman Colen Thought He Had a Ukiah Stage Robber.
