For Reformatory Prison
CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA
MENTO. Jan. 6. — A member of the
Saa Francisco delegation will introduce
a measure asking for the establish
ment of a reformatory prison to sup
plement the penal institutions in the
state. The bill contemplates a revolu
tion of the present system of punish
ing- criminals so as to teach them
to be better cS::zer.e rather than more
accomplished criminals before their
terms of imprisonment have been com
pleted. \u25a0-„. \u25a0
The measure is a free copy of the
New York statute, and if enacted will
introduce the indeterminate sentence
feature.
The supporters of the bill contend
that by confining a convicted felon for
an indeterminate period and by in
•tructiag him in useful pursuits he
will not only prove himself worthy of
liberty within a short period, but will
also be prepared to mend his ways and
liTe as a law abiding citizen.

The prices we are now quoting in; men's clothing and
furnishing goods afford an extraordinary opportunity for
real economy. The discontinuance of the men's clothing
department in our Van Ness store and the consolidation
of both stocks in our Market street Store* are the reason for
the exceptional price inducements we are now offering. As a

MISS MacKENZIE
QUITS HOSPITAL
Said to Have Resigned From the
Scene of Scandal to Avoid
Dismissal
Miss Jessie F. MacKenzie. the super
intendent of nurses at the California
women's hospital in Sacramento street,
who a year ago was so valiantly cham
pioned by Dn F. "W. Vowinckel, chief
surgeon and "king", of the institution,
has resigned from the hospital. Miss
MacKenzie says that her resignation
\u25a0was voluntary. Others, including her
friends, say that the former superin
tendent put in her resignation to avoid
dismissal.
It was reported that Dr. Vowinckel
and his friends in the board of lady
mana gers . were ready to shift to Miss
MacKenzie all the odium that recently
was heaped on Dr, Vowinckel for his
autocratic control and alleged misman
agement of the place. Miss MacKenzie's
name was frequently mentioned in con
nection -with the scandals that devel
oped when the reform element' on the
j board of lady managers discovered that
| the hospital had been purchasing sap
i plies from Herbert Dugan, the druggist
j who enjoyed a practical monopoly of
Uhe trade of the institution.
! DID .NOT ADMIT GRAFT
In her own defense Miss MacKenzie
said that everything she did in connec
tion with her position as superintendent
of nurses was under direct orders of
Dr. » Vowinckel and the board of lady
managers. She does not admit that
any graft was practiced. , -
Until yesterday Miss MacKenzie had
considerable apprehension regarding
the diploma as a euperintendent of
nurses, which the lady managers prom
ised her in recognition of her nine years
of service at the hospital. But it was
reported last evening that the im
portant document was in the hands of
the engravers, and would have been
signed and issued yesterday :had the
artist completed his work.
WII.I. RE-ELECT TOWEVCKEL
Two significant features stand out
prominently, in the case of the resigna
tion of Mifs MacKenzie. It comes al
most on the eve of the annual meet
ing of the board of trustees of the
hospital. That meeting 1» to be held
January 25. It is conceded that Dr.
Vowickel will be re-elected chief sur
geon of the hospital in spite of the
ugly rumors that involved his name.
The other point is that shortly be
fore Miss MacKenzie's retirement there
were reports at the hospital In effect
that many young women training: to
be nurses under the superintendent said
that if Miss MacKenzie was kept in
charge they would quit the training
school and hospital. Miss MacKenzie
naturally heard this report and she
went to each nurse and had each sign
a personal declaration that she had
made no such statement.
IXCE.VSES MRS. CAROLAX
9 \u25a0 \u25a0 ' "'-:"' ~ '.
Miss MacKenzie's tenure at the hos
pital- was threatened a. year ago ow
ing to. the removal of Mrs. Walnwright,
a matron at the. place appointed on
the recommendation of.' Urs. Francis
Carolan, then chairman of the board of
lady managers. "When Mrs. Carolan
was out of the state the managers re
moved Mrs. Wainwright. "When Mrs.
Carolin returned she suspected that
Miss MacKenzie had something to do
with the dismissal of the matron and
ordered that Miss MacKenzie be re-
Several complaints were made against
Miss MacKenzie at that time, it is said.
Dr. Vowinckel. instead of removing the
superintendent of nurses, changed the
constitution of the hospital so that the
superintendent would be under his di
rection entirely. This act incensed Mrs.
Carolan and she left the board.
"The only reason I bad for leaving
the hospital." said Miss MacKenzie last
evening, "was that I was offered a bet
ter place and was tired of the 24 hours'
a day work that I had to perform
there."
