Pon Are Too Many Prisoners THE DAILY B aford to Kiwanians--There in the Portsmouth Insti- tion, He Says. {| The weekly luncheon of the Ki- wanis Club held in the Hotel Fron- tenac on Monday evening and the session was marked by startling fea- {tures, not the elast of which was |an auction sale of wonder perfumes, { medicines, flavoring extracts, toilet articles, liniment and lotions manu- factured and donated by Df, G. W. Bell, Dr. Bell Wonder Medical Com- pany, that realized $28 for the- Ki- wanis charity fund, and an address by Kiwanian J. C. Ponsford, warden of Kingston penitentiary, on the sub- ject "Is the way of the transgressor hard in Kingston penitentiary?" in which he took his audience into the prison and disclosed facts concern- ing the lives of those sentenced to confinement for crimes. A startling fact given by the speaker was that the number of prisoners in confine- ment has doubled in the four years since 1918--from 446 men and wo- men to 850 at the present date. He did not deal on the subject of crime but with the internal economy of the penal institution which he pronounc- ed as the best in America, President Noble Steacy occupied the chair and the meeting went off with a bang from the start. Garnet Locket, as song leader, kept every- body right to the mark and the songs were well sung. the roll call the following guests were announced: Prof. McRae, Dr Mclvor, Harry Orr, R. Anglin, Charles Wilson. W. A. Mar- cellis was serg't-at-arms, and he col- lected the fines. Dr. Bell, the booster, placed a bot- tle of perfume at each member's plate and in addition donated a large quantity of his preparations which were auctioned off by "Billy" Moore with astonishing success. Sam Cor- bett introduced Dr. Bell and told of his attainments in the professions of veterinary surgeon, and manufac- turer of the "Wonder" remedies for horses, cows, sheep, pigs and other animals, as well as numerous other useful toilet articles. The doctor was given a héarty Kiwanis Saluta- tion. The auction produced great amusement and Doctor Bell's per- fume attained a great popularity, nome of it being left on hand at the close, The articles were Wonder foot comfort, shaving cream, per- fume, hair tonic, bay rum, hair re- storer, flavors, dandruff cure, witch hazel, cough syrup, and ointment, Bliss Barnum was a most efficient clerk. A vote was taken on the question of holding luncheons during July and August and decided in favor of the meetings which will be held at 1 p.m. each Monday excepting July 3rd, Tuesday, July 4th, being chosen. The booster will be C, C. Folger on that occasion. Warden Ponsford's Address. In opening his excellent address Warden Ponsford said that the pub- lic learned little of a reliable char- acter on the subject of Canadian penitentiaries from the literature produced, as the writers, as a rule obtained their information, not from personal investigation or experience, but from the books of other writers. Newspaper articles originated with sentimentalists. He explained the procedure from the admission of a prisoner, his con- version from a man at liberty into a wan with a number, his assignment to work in a prison shop with other felons, his sleeping accommodation, food and clothing, the provision made for his spiritual welfare and educa- tion, and the treatment provided during sickness. The hospital is up- to-date and major operations were performed in it during the last year with success, "Work is provided and young men are taught such trades as carpentry, shoemaking, tailoring, blacksmith- ing, electrical engineering, and ac- countancy, while the illiterate learn to read and write. Twenty men are taking what are known as the en- trance examination. The library contains 5,000 books of literature calculated to meet the moral require- ments. Two chaplains, a Roman Catholic and a Protestant officiate on Sunday in the prison chapels." "The executive staff of the domin- ion penitentiaries consists of the minister of justice, superintendent of penitentiarfes amd two inspectors. The six institutions under their care cost the country $1,500,000 per month. The appropriation for King- ston penitentiary was stated as $450,000 of which $176,000 is for silaries, $53,009 rations; $22,500 clothing; $21,700 heating; $11,500 for maintenagce of buildings; $11,- 500 discharge expenses; $8,000 uni- forms; $39,000 working expenses; $9,600 for the treatment and main- tenance of insane in provincial hos- pitals. "But we have too many inmates at Kingston. The number has doubled since 1818 when the popula- tion was 446 whereas we now have You can't get better tea values.

"The sentimentalists pay too much attention to-men convicted of crimes and I have often received requests for. a. report on men under sentence but'who had not yet reached the pri- son, This was due to the action of their friends in petitioning the min- ister of justice for pardon or release. Should our sympathy be extended to [the criminal rather than to the in- jured party? asked the warden. "Why all this concern about a cul- prit who would upon the production of others?" Idleness Cause of Crime. "The vast majority of boys who get into prison through indolence and by Insisting upon living upon the avails and production of others. They get a different idea of life in prison and many come to see the error of their ways. Not more than five per cent. are second or third timers and this shows that the ex- perience in prison teaches them something. 2 Referring to methods of discipline the speaker stated that the men were sent to prison for moral reformation |and it was necessary to have some- thing to hold over their n the place. Severe measures are needed occasionally." "All prisong.are built. for security but vigilance is needed to ensure safe |custody. For this purpose only of- {ion of outside gangs are Every man knows what his rights are and how far he can go. "There are too TARY umates at Kingston, 500 is the largest number |any man can handle in my opinion. IT advised the construction of a new building for accommodation but my ideal of a penitentiary is one locat- ed in an agricultural region with a walled reserve of 640 acres all of which can be under supervision, where farming can be carried on. He showed the impossibility of employ- ing more than 30 men on the prison farm at present with only 217 acres, or a farm that any three farmers can take care of. Moreover the soil is not adapted to intensive cultivation. I do not mean by this that the pre- sent penitentiary would be done away with, but only that another lo- cation' might be obtained for the overflow population, and we are al- ready engaged upon the considera- tion of this problem. There are too many public highways ' running through the present reserve." In conclusion Warden Ponstord said "I challenge any one on the question of management, cleanliness and discipline of the Kingston peni- tentiary. It is second to none in Am- erica . (Applause.) A vote of thanks was tendered to him by president Noble Steacy. T.I. YACHT CLUB OFFICERS NAMED James H. Hammond Commo- dore--Local Men to Serve on Committees.

Citizens of all classes are asking where is the circus this year? Many inquiries have come in to the Whig office and the matter has been looked into. As far as can be learned, the John Robinson Circus planned to come to Kingston and after signing up contracts telegraphed cancelling them. The Hagenbeck circus is re- ported also to have signed contracts and later cancelled them. Ringling Brothers are performing in Belle ville on July 6th, but if this show is coming to Kingston: nothing Is known here about it. It was rum- ored about that the city license fee and ground rental was an obstacle, but city officials state that the ad- vance agents made no complaint and signed the contract that called for the payment of $100 for license and $100 ground remtal without hesita- tion. This is a very moderate fee considéring Kingston is regarded as a big show city. !
