Loudon Loses His Position of | Trust for Criticizing San Quentin. The Smell of **Dope” on the Con- victs Was Overp waring and He Could Not Stand It. Epecial Dispatch to THE CALL SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Nov. 15.— Another breezy iittie sensation is blowing over the penitentiary, and one convict st least has found 10 bis sorrow that it does not pay to criticize the prison manae- ment. Robert B. Loudon, who was convicted of embezzling the funds of Marin County, and who 1s serving a term in San Qen- tin, had the il ace to write a letier to a county paper t-ling of his life in prison and commenting on affairs concernin the pen tentiary. The letter was pub- lished on Saturday, and to-day Loud m was taken from the trust position be held in the commisary’s (flice and put at knotting sacks in the jute mill. When the paper with the letter arrived at the prison there was consternation. Warden Hale sent fo Loudon and asked him if he wrote it. The prisoner replied that he had, ana tnen Turnkey J. C. Jamison was sent for and asked if he bad allowed the letter to go out. He was forced to admit that he had, although he said that he did not know 1t was going to ve puolished. Warden Hale was the maddest man in the penitentiary, and after lecturingz the turnkey he issued or- der- for Loudon to be taken outof the soft position he cccup.ed and set at hard work in the jute milt. = This mornin: there was a scene. Lou- don knows what work in the jute mill is, for he was there once Leiore unul his lieaith gave out and he was taken out to work on the books of the Commissary, This morning Loudon was informed that Lis work had been changed. Short.y af- te:ward he was taken violenuy ill. His solar plexus was troubling him and he sent for Dr. Lawlor, who informed him that he was on.y shamming. Louden had 10 acknowledge his deceit, anu be broke down complereiy and cried like a Laby be- cause he had to work in the jute mill. The folowing extracts from the letter tend to explsin why Warden Hale is put out: Let your imagination wander to me, placed in the miast of 1350 men o: ail nationalit and color, incarcerated in prison for every crime known on the calendar; see m« force to associate hour atter hour, day after day a.d week aiter week for four months with men whose every thought is vile, every word an outh und every act too beasiiy to te mentioned Look at m, hollow-eyea, ghastiy in color, staggering in gait_and stupid in action from the use of “*coutraband’” articies.

Philanthropists, Christiaus, criminalogists, penologists and others may publish essays and muke speeches on criminals and criminal lite, and the State may pay thousands of d«1- lars in support of its prisons, but notuing will reduce the criminai element in this State as long as thes mixes up indiscriminately, as at present. 1do not deny that good Chrise has been uud Is being done by tne ation Army and other kindred organizations. e g within myself that 1 would rather see every cnila I have dead at my feet than live to see one of them gb to prison, { would feel contented o speud every hour of my al- lotted time here if & recital of my exyp as a prisoner xnd what | have seen an during my imprisoumen: in San Quentin would te the me; nf affordirg relief to those who are imprisoned here for the first time, or would keep even one human being from going astray, (ntailing thereby unhappi- ness 10 those near and dear to them, und per- haps eternal remorse for themselyes.

Noiting, during the s=ssion of the Council to-night, offered to punch the face of his colleague, Julius Krieg, after the two city legisiators had indulged in some acrimonious criticism of each other. Nolting walked up to Krieg’s desk, where the latter was standing, but as Krieg showed a disposition to continue the controversy only on a verbal basis, Nolting, with evident disgust written on Lis face, was compelied o forego the task which he undoubtedly would have per- formed with the greatest pleasure. For sowme time past the Council, which consists of four members, has been evenly divided upon all matters which called for the expenditure of any considersbe amount of money. Nolting and J. P. Fay vote one way and Krieg and George B. Dittus the other. Continual insinuations are made by one of these factions against the other. As the Mayor has no vote, this peculiar antagonism prevents many measures of importance from being acted upo:. The session to-night was made! interesting, and at times exciting, by tbe irbquent displavs of animosity. Dit us was absent, so Krieg came in for all o1 tne attent.on of the otner two Councilmen. A Twing, city tax-collector and treas- urer, to-night made apnlication for the salary of an additioral deputy for the next thirty days, claiming that the rush made thi§ necessary. Noiting the apolication also received the verbal approval of Mavor Koch and of City At- torney Welch, but Krieg voted sgainst it. It requires three voles to Carry auy meas- ure, so the coilector will have to do with- Krieg ¢xplained bis vote by saying that there were too many unnecessary expenses being made. Nolting wanted to know how they were incurred, and Krieg retorted by saying: “By having such iellows as you here in this body.’ Nolting arose in anger and, despite Krieg’s threat that he would not let him speak, delivered himself as follows: “Krieg is the only man 1n tne Council who makes these expense<. He goes out ana purchases every little red wazon and toy that Le sees for the fire department. He spends the city’s money for buggy and hack hire.” In the course of a later discussion Councilman Fay took occasion to pay a left-handed compliment to the Council by regreting his misfortune in being compelled toc associate ‘‘lora few more montas with this zoo.” Just as the meeting wasabout to ad- 18 liecessary that we proceed with the inves- tigation of the sewer matter,” reterring to the charges of alleged collusion between the contractors. The Mayor said he thought there ought to be a full Council present when this important matter was taken up. Fay made a motion to adjsurn at this point, and it was carried. Krieg made some furth r remarks about the in- vestigation and Nolting suggested that he stay an : hold the investization by him- ~elf., Krieg relorted by intimating 'hat Nolting ought to be invesiigated. Then it was that Noiting, who is a much smaller man than Kries, was aroused to the fignting point, “You can't investigate me. No such cattle as you can investicale e,” he shouted. He walked over to Krieg’s desk, evi- dently expecting the latter to resent the insult thus cast upon him before a crowded Council cnamber. But Krieg simply rut on a smile of scorn. Noiung seemed determined to iforce his big col- league inio a scrap, and made a final, but unsuccessiul effort to accomplish his pur- pose by the taunc: *I would poke yon in the mouth in a minuce if you gave me any excuse.” During all these undignifiea proceed- ings the Mayor sat sileut, in seeming en- jovment of them, and never even so much as by a nod signified his disapproval of the manner in which tne dignity of the Council and the Mayor of the city of San 1ced.
