CIVIL AND MILITARY
AUTHORITIES DISCUSS
THE DRINK QUESTION
Protecutlna Attorney. Leach of Oakland
and Adjutant: General/ Lauck Hold
an Important Conference,
May Decide to .^'Establish a Military
•Camp, for th» Petentlon of -In- .^-. .
. toxlcated Persons. .
D rattle* Punishment WIN be. Meted Out
to ' Offenders Gathered In by
... . the Police.
OAKLAND, Mar MS*— Civil and
military I authorities • have:. In hand a
plan to establish a "bull pen," ta which
will be confined remons arrested for
drunkenness. Tha Cltjr Jail and the
County Jail are overcrowded with
prisoners. Police srderiare to arrest
all intoxicated persons. ' How : to dis
pose of them Is. a Question which has
been perplexing the oil! dais.
Prosecuting Attorney Leach has
conferred with Adjutant General
LaucJ-.. who has consented to furnish
a military guard for a detention camp,
where intoxicated j persons shall be
confined,. Such a -camp would .relieve
the' pressure upon' : tlio Jail facilities
caused by the rigorous enforcement of
the law against drunkenness. The plan
has been to sentence .'.persons found
guilty of Intoxication t-> terms of from
three to ten days ta the City Prison.
Police Judges Mortln.er Smith and
George Samuels hare btcn particularly
severe against men vma come from
San Francisco evidently for the sole
purpose of procuring I'quor. </
To meet the unusual conditions
Prosecuting Attorney Leach believes
tbftt confinement in a military camp
under guard of armed- soldiers- will
prove effective and salutary. He
haa suggested as a location a portion of
the City Prison yard, wlxero tne appli
cation of more firastlo methods than
mere locking up can be enforced.
Concerning the plas. Leach said:
./The City Prlioa la overcroTrfled*
and! It la Lnpoasiblo- to provide at this
time for anofier prison. The condi
tions demand that sotae other plaoe
be found for - persons arrested for
drunkenness. Either they 7 must be
confined for ptrnlthnrent, or released at
coon at they art eober. To carry out
the latter scheme would be »abT«»lon
of ffood fforernment and proper con
trol of die 'situation. By truth a
course Oakland would become the ref
use of every ehronlo drunkard for
miles around. The only course open
to us, as I ccc It. 1* to establish a
military guafdhons* or camp and; to
subject men to such Inconvenlenoe as
roes with confinement under rigid mili
tary control. If IV'-becomes known
that such a means ha* been adopted to
dispose. of men who ; are arrested for
drunkenness -the authorities will soon
have no trouble on thjs v s©bre. Mili
tary discipline with all .that It carrie*
with It will quickly rid ttirof. objection

a > woman, i says ) Uio \u25a0 Brooklyn ' Eagle.
The * discovery was inada at ' * Ellis
Island, _ where the pair had, been de
tained ;*Blnce : . their arrival on the Cam
pania, t last ' Saturday, / from England,
because VMlchael"' showed ' symptoms
of Ulneas. ; The Immlgratioa authbr
ltle»^ard.ln-a quandary as. to;what
action to take in the case. They will
try to find an excuse for deporting
Michael, <• but if - Mrs. Mlnch - elects -to
remain in this -country; there "is ap
parently no.'wiiy-.'of forcing her to re
turn.': \u0084 ' v
-Not th«. least; rematkable feature of
the strange case is the fact that the
pair since ? their marriage •in County
Kildare, Ireland, twenty years back,
have passed through the Immigration
bureau no less than half a dozen times
without : awakening the slightest susf
picion In;. the : ' officials. The very last
perwn for. whom -they worked in this
country, indeed, was T. B. .Willis, him
self formerly, an • officer of the bureau.
Untile four years ago, when they re
turned to Ireland for an extended visit
to their native land, Michael was em
ployed as a gardener on the country
place of 1 Mr. Willis' at Mount Kisco,
N. V., while Mrs. Mlnch worked there
as a housekeeper." Before that they
had been employed /by. a number, of
wealthy families residing ... on Long
Island, Michael always serving In the
capacity -trf \u25a0 a gardener ; and Mrs.
Minch as a housekeeper. - ><*
."Mr." and: Mrs. Mlnch have two
nieces, Annie and Tessie Brenner, who
live at 824 Hicks street, this borough,
and whom they were intending to visit
for^ a „ while before positions
for j the summer.; Tessie Brennan, a
pretty/Uttle*. mlss~not;*yet out. of h«r
teens, is employed in one of "the big
department ' stores "on? Fulton street.
When told by an Eagle reporter this
morning of the discovery made by the
Immigration authorities she was loath
to^redit 1 !^-;."; ..\u25a0;•,\u25a0 ;;\u25a0 ':''\u25a0 .

said, and

reason as that. \u25a0. - - : \u25a0
"My • Aunt Margaret • was married
to • Uncle : Michael fully twenty years
ago , in County \u25a0 Kildare, Ireland, where
they had known each . \u25a0 other * since
childhood. They came to this coun
try, shortly afterward . and have
worked- only in ; wealthy families.
They have, always been, known As Mr.
and Mrs. Mlnch- and have always had
the '•' highest reputation. ,' 'Frequently
they would return home on a .visit, and
I am sure- that if .all -had not been
as •it should - have been there , would

'Margaret will insist on returning with
him to the other side.",
Michael Mlnch told the ElMs. Island
offlcials that he wa3 50 years' old and
that . his j wiXo was * only, a . few. . years
