' . , ; Innovation In Penitentiary Discipline Will Be Tried in Northwest. 'A dispatch from Tacoma, 'Wash., says that United Bute . Marshal Charles B. Hopkins, of Seattle, Is trying an innovation in prison dis cipline at the Federal penitentiary at McNeil island in the Introduction of a score or more of English skylarks, which will hereafter make tnelody from daylight until dark In the prison buildings. It is the first time In this State, at leant, and probably th first time anywhere, that the soothing ef fect of sweet music has been taken advantage of to tone down th temper and make docile the spirit of the hardened criminal. Deputy marshals, deputy, sheriffs and peac officers gen erally are watching the experiment with much interest. "The skylark cure," as It ha al ready come to be known, for th ul len and unruly prisoner, wa a com plete surprise to even the deputies and the clerical force of th mar shal's office here, nothing being known of the Impending descent of feathered songsters until th mar shal walked into the office a day or two ago and made the announcement. Then it was learned that Dr. Mo Cutcheon, of Tacoma, who ha been Importing the larks for month, waa assisting the marshal in getting the larks and was himself enthusiastic over the proposed cure for crime. An aviary. offering ample facilities for propagation, will oe constructed' at the penitentiary for the feathered reformers, and they will be amply cared for and coax.'d to warbla their joyful sermons in conformity to: dis cipline from daylight to dusky eve... Marshal Hopkins has his own ideas on prison dllpllne. in the East pen itentiaries are aurrounded -by- huge walla and the barren gloom and" bleakness of tho spot often : cause prisoners 't-o go Insane. There is no wall around the McNeil island prison, nor will one be constructed If the marshal can help it. A wall would shut out the Inspir ing view to be had from th prison, and thta. the marshal thinks, would be a calamity to those that )ndor confinement there. Experience . na proven that the water wall urrouna lng the Island prevents prisoners s eaplg. What with the beautiful mountain and water virw and th lark concerts that will hereafter be a feast of song throughout the day, the prl on will be a place where a prisoner of an esthetic turn of soul will at least find Ufe tolerable. t School ComtnifMloners Meet Friday Xifc-ht., -The members of the board of school commissioners will try, to. get together Friday night.
