(CocrrUht IMS IU Tt>? A<J?? n ? I
Washington!*! Nov. 9. ? With Federal prisoners increasing
in numbers due to the Volstead Act. the immigration law
and the rigid enforcement of the narcotic act. New York
State has raised the interesting question of whether it is
incumbent on a state to house Federal offenders in the county
jails which are already filled.
And the Department of La
bor through its legal advisers
has informally ruled that
there is no way by which :t
state can be compelled to ac
cept Federal prisoners in its
jails.
This has bven a Kit a tin;; prison
commissions in most all of t li->
northern tier of states. white
aliens try to enter tlu? I'nited
Statin from Canada and the view
point of the Department of Ubor
will be th?* subject of discussion
at the meeting uext wook in Jack
son. Mississippi, of the American
Prison Association.
John F. Tremain, secretary of
the Now York State l'rison Com
mission. stopped off here en route
to Jackson and discussed th?
problem witii Federal officials,
pointing out that in many county
Jails there were ho many Federal
prisoners that intolerable condi
tions prevailed. He declared, for
Instance, that the. New York State
law requiring that certain kind*
of prisoners be segregated was be
ing violated by sheriffs because
they had no alternative. In one
case, he said, a woman churned
with murder, another woman
charged with drug peddling and a
rellnc-d young girl who had been
guilty of a technical violation of
the luimifci tttlou law were all
locked lip toKether 30 days. The
county Jail in question had no
other space available for women.
The younu woman, who was ar
rested for violating the immigra
tiou law, entered the Fnited
States with her prospective hus
band, believing that If she were
j:oint; to bo married to an Amer
ican citizen she could be admit
ted. The couple were married af
ter beinK arrested but it took a
Iouk time to get the younu lady
free from the clutclws of the law
and she spent her time in Jail
with criminals.
One of the principal difficulties
is that the Federal Government,
busy as it is with thousands of
alien cases, sometimes leaves the
prisoners in county Jails for 30
days or more, until Ihe proper of
ficials can get to the case in ques
tion. Many aliens are simply held
for deportation. Some merely had
wrong passports due to misunder
standings. Hut they have to Slav
in jail until deported. The Federal
Government pays anywhere from
^5 cents to a dollar a day to the
counties for keeping its prisoners
but with space so precious inanv
counties would rather not take
care of the violators of the nation
al lawn.
The New Ybrk delegation In
Con Rress has been naked by the
State Prison Commission to ur?e
the construction of a Fed'-ral pris
on somewhere near the Canadian
boundary to care for Federal
prisoners. As matters are devel
oping now. each Federal depart
ment has more laws to enforce ev
ery year and the time may not !>*?
far off when it would be more ??eo
nontlcal for the WashinKton Gov
eminent to build Jails by Con
gressional districts, especially in
the more populous sections of the
country, and rely no more on tin
states to do the sheltering
So far as the law is concerned.
It Is said that no statute exists
which requires tlie states to ae
cept the Federal prisoners at all,
and certainly there is no obllna
Hon. in the opinion of Department
of l.abor officials, to house Fed-,
eral prisoners If the jails are al
ready filled. The Federal gov
ernment and the states always
have co-operated, of cours' . In
the detection of crime, but tin in
dications now are that the hos
pitality of the states is belli* sad
ly abused. In caritiK for Federal
prisoners.

h Tin* most momentous week of
The Daily Advance subscription
mm pa Ik 11 i? on. With the week'
opening fair und a fair forecast
for Tuesday, every worker should
be on the alert lo Kather In every
possible subscription while 4he
sun shines. Never again dur
ing tlilx campaign ?'ill the ssme
amount of work count for so much
toward winning a prise as it will
thin week.
Till* is because today ushers In
the final week of what In known
as the first period In the cam
paign. Beginning next week a
new voting schedule goes into ef
fect with a sharp reduction In ths
number of votes allowed on every
subscription. Five one-yesr sub
scriptions outside the city this
week, for example, are good for
75.000 votes. Next week the
same subscription* will be good
for only HO. 000 votes.
As the prizes In the campaign
are to be awarded on a basis of
votes and not on the amount of
cash turned in. the Importance of
each worker's going bin or her
limit this week Is evident. Those
enrolled in the campaign who are
anxious to win a Hudson or a
Ford or one of the other big prises
should strain every nerve lo cash
in every promise before the close
of business on Saturday night.
All workers having subscrip
tions for which they wish to re
ceive credit on the basis of the
first period voting schedule must
be in the campaign manager's of
fice with their report and cssb by
X o'clock Saturday night, or, If
they must rely tin the mails, must
mall their report ho that It will
reach the csiupalgn manager not
later than noon on the following
Monday.
Those anxious to win one of the
big prizes are advised to concen
trate on their campaign more this
week than any other week of the
contest. Votes secured on sub
scriptions this week will carry one
n long ways toward the prises on
November 28. This week Is even
more vital to the outcome than
the final week which will open
two weeks from today.
The names of three or four con
testants were cut from the fast
list as published Saturday. These
eliminations were due to the fact
thnt the candidates after nominat
ing themselves failed to take an
active pail other than sending In
the free 100 vote coupons clipped
from the paper snd after these
coupons were stopped they quit
work entirely. The list ss It now
stands is due for another trim
ming. Two or three others are
on the list who are doing prac
t Ira II y nothing and if they don't
report soon their n;i?ea will be
' taken off. t.
Everybody on the list from
now on must report at least once
a week in order to qualify for one
of the seven prizes or a 20 per
cent cash commission.' Failure to
report in at least once a week
with at least two subscriptions for
six months or more will mesn that
you are not interested enough In
the outcome lo make your work
worth while to The Advsnce snd
so you will be dropped from Hie
eliglhles.
This coming Saturday will slso
witness the closing of the entry
list After the close of the first
period no others will be allowed
to entei and compete for the
more than $3,000 in prizes and
Commissions offered by The Ad
vance. The race will then be con
fin ed to those remaining and the
valuable award* will tie distribut
ed accordingly.
Most of the workers now car
ried on the list finished this psst
week well. The campaign man
ager ui gen all to keep up the good
work a* each worker surely will
be rewarded in proportion to the
effort put forth. Those who had
a good report last week should
have a better one this week. If
such a thing is at all possible.
