JOHN L SCORES
TWO KNOCKOUTS
AT SING SING
Wins Convicts by Calling
Prison "Hotel" and
.. Cells "Your Rooms."
LACK OF GUARDS
SURPRISES HIM
"Why." He Says, 'They Have to
Have Police at the Metro?
politan Opera House."
[r-rom a Staff Oeir.wpor.dent tf The Tribunal
Ossining, Aug. 14.?John L. Sullivan
fought two rounds with John Parley
corn at Sing Sing prison thia evening,
?with en intermission for dinner be?
tween rounds. In the opinion of the
1,400 convicts who heard him he scored
two knockouts. In his tn'.k he referred
to the prison as "this hotel," and cells
Trie described as "your rooms."
He was in finer form than at hia re?
cent debut in Asbury Park, and hia au?
dience, while friendly, held many who
were expertly critical. All were with
him from the sound of the gong, while
-one young fellow through whose hair
h? rsn his fingers as he walked to the
chspel platform was so proud after the
lecture that he barely spoke to com?
mon Welfare Leaguers.
Sullivan, accompanied by a friend,
came to the prison early in the after?
noon. In the absence of Warden
Tbomas Mott Osborne he was received
by Assistant Warden Johnson. Sulli
van declined to visit the prison yard
or look at the cells, saying he could
fli.d misery enough in the world with?
out looking for it.
"I've heard enough about those cells
without wanting to see them," he said.
"I want to sleep well to-night."
Talks Ball with Fsther Csshin.
So with Father Csshin, the prison
?ehaiplain, and Tim O'Connor, the war?
den's secretary, Sullivan sat on the
veranda of the warden's house and hud
? fanning bee. The c.ergyman is a
baseball enthusiast, but he was no
match for Sullivan.
''Why," said Father Cashin, "he has
a most remark.ib'.e memory. He talks
like the oiliest fan in captivity. He re
tnembers the names of ail of them back
slmost to the Civil War "
After the men had had their dinner
Sullivan was led through the prison to
the chapel, where 70u of the men were
essembled. As the gray head appeared
m mighty cheer went up mightier than
any that had marked the ball game in
the afternoon which, es usual, the
home team won
"Where are the guards?" he asked.
"There are nene here." he was told.
"Well, I'll be blessed!" said he.
'Why, they Its-re cops even at the Met?
ropolitan Opera House."
Introduced bj Mr. Johnson as "one
American of thirty years ago that is
not forgotten the ex-champion got
right down to work.
"My friends " he said, after the ap?
plause died down, ":t gives me great
pleasure to pav you a visit. But I am
not going to moralize.
"All V.ake Mistakes."
h and every one of you knows
the difference between right and wrong.
There is no need of bringing up the
What we are interested in to-day
is the future. All that i.r.y of us has t.>
do is our best to overcome all obstacles
and be fair ti ourselves. If we are
fair to ourselves we are fair to every
other man. Every individual among us
har at one time or another been sub?
jected to temptr.tion? and has mi.de
mistakes that under different condi?
tions and circumstances would have
ad us to register in a hotel of this
kind.
"You are here, and it is up to you to
think matters ever calmly and plan the
future forget the pest end when
you get out of here forget the walls
and all that this place implies and say
to yourselves: 'I'll fight the fight of
I life to a finish.' Never think that you
f are too old to make a fight. I think as
young and feel as good to-night as I
did thirty years ago.
"A good many of us gentlemen have

Sngtk and activity, make< you old

things you never would do if you had
your senses. If, when yuu leave here,
you leave booze alone, you can be as
good men and as well thought of as
any one who has never been a guest in
thia hotel.
"You know, boys, better than I do,
that booze is the chief cause of all
those things that lead men into hotels
1 ke this. It give? you false courage,
makes you stumble and fall. In drink
you lay bare your heart to every man,
and if by ?ny chance you do anything
wrong all men know of it and away
you go.
"As I said, I do not want to moralize.
You can do that for yourselves. I want

tain you foi a few minutes, se that
-.??hen you go to your rooms you can
say, 'Old John L. Sullivan il a good
fellow, after all.' "
John L's Stories Please.
Sullivan then told a lot of stories,
i.mong others of an old friend in Ire?
land who told h*m the Nationalists had
i a well drilled army of 450,000
men.
'How long have they been drilling?"
I asked him.
"Seven year.-," he said.
"Why don't they s'art something
then?"
*'Ah. John, dear, but thev ?re ?fraid
of the police."
Another was of an Irish sailor who
?as ordered to throw overboard a Ger?
man who had died in stateroom 3*->.
The next morning the captain found
n the room and asked the
I about it.
"Thirty three, sir?" said the sailor;
"suie and I misunderstood you and
threw overboard the one in twenty
th?ce."
"In twenty-three," said the captain.
he dead?"
"Well lie said he wasn't, but then,
yotl know them Germans are such l.ars
you can't believe them."
Becoming serious again, Sullivan
said his purpose in the nation-wide
tour he Is t-oon to begin is to save the
youn?* men of the country.
"I want to teach the young men of
the country never to start drinking-:,"
he said. "There is no other way that
the young man can beat it except by
leaving it alone. Take a leaf from the
hook of John L. Sullivan and learn that
booze has more ways oi hitting at you
than you huve of sidestepping, no mat?

a chance for an even br*ak.

BELT TO WHIRL
MAIL TO TRAINS
800,000 Pounds Now Can
Be Loaded at Grand Cen?
tral with a Push Button.
PLAN WILL INCREASE
SPEED 75 PER CENT
Pouches May Be Shot from New
Postofiice Into Thirty-three
Trains at One Time.
Speedier method* of handling mail
at th? Grand Central Terminal will |*>t
their flr?t test to-morrow morning
? when the bags are thrown on a swift Iv
revolving: belt carrving them to the
trains instead of bein* laboriously
transferred by a ?quad of truckmen.
The postofflee ha? been swamped by
j the growth in mail?, chiefly due to the
: parcel post, and the ?New York Central
engineer? have hit on this scheme ta)
? relieve congestion.
If successful the system will release
fifty or seventy-five porters for other
jobs in connection with the 800.00(1
pound* of mail that pass through the
terminal daily. It will increase the
speed of handling 75 per cent, officials
1 say.
The new Postoflic?. Building, which
occupies the block bounded by Forty
tifth and Forty-sixth Streets. Lexing
ton Avenue and Depew I'lace, is nearly
completed. It stands directly over the
New York Central tracks. It is 200 bv
275 feet, two stories high and built ot
cream-colored brick arid white ston<\
to match the rent of the terminal
group.
in the basement is a platform 1.500
feet long, with a track on either ?ide.
at which mail trains load and unload.
The first ?tory is occupied by the rail?
way mail service and the ?econd by
! the New York postoflice. New floors
; will be added as the volume of mail
; demands.
"Hand? off" has been the motto of
i the engineers in designing the mail
:iif machinery. Th? secret of
quick servie, according to W. ?I.
rherntoa. designing engineer of the
New York Central, is to allow no one
i to touch the mail unless absolutely
I necessary. This has been kept in mind
I throughout the construction of th?
1 oili ce.
When the first mail wagon backs up
at the Depew I'lace entrance to-mor
tow its bags and pouches will be
dumped directly into chutes. At th.*
bottom of the chutes they will fall on
| a moving ruhber belt, covered with
canvas and propelled by electricity.
This belt will earn them at the rate
! of IM feet a minute into the building.
Hags whose contents require sorting
j before they are put on the trains will
j be shunted off the belt to the floor of
the building. There the clerks will
l ick them up, ?ort the letters ir.to new
hags and put thafte new bags or. a sim?
ilar belt, which will carry them by wav
ol another chute into the mail cars on
I the tracks below. Thus hands touch
I the mail but once at most from the
time it leaves the wagon to the time
it lands in the mail car.
Thirty-three mail cars can be lined
1 up at one time at the platform in the
basement. Two hundred and twenty
seven trains carry mail to and from
1 the station daily, and eleven of these
, each from nine to fourteen car.?, carry
| no passengers at all.
Some punche.?, booked for t'ains In
ths (?rund Central itself, are shot from
ihe moving belt into a small carrier
which runs under the tracks. When
this carrier reaches the track desired
; it is shot up to the level and the
j pounche*. transferred to the train by
; hand.
There are supplemental belt?;, spiral
chutes, four elevators, three bucket
lifts and three bag conveyers for
emergency- use. When the system is
?? lunnmg smoothly it can be controlled
' by two or three men at the switches
\ on the platforms. These men, simply
| by pressing a button, can shunt the
mail ott the main belt with an electric
"li.|," at anv point on the journey from
wagon to train.
A feature of the upstair* office is th??
"spy gallery," a passageway which
completely encircles the room and
which contain? peephole? from which
detectives can watch the sorting clerks
to see that no thefts occur. The spy
gallery extends even to the toilet and
! locker rooms.
The system was adapted from the* in
use at the Pennsylvania Terminal bv
? George A. Harwood, chief engineer of
the New York Central; E. I?. Sabine,
terminai engineer, and W. J. Thornton,
designing engineer. It is said to be
? the most ?'lab?rate in the world.
