If Warden Reeve's ideas find favor with the Minnesota state legislature, the question of a new prison will receive consideration at the coming session. In tpeaking of the matter yesterday Warder. Reeve said that he believed the state was just as much, if not more, in need of a new prison than a new capitol. He is of the opinion that the legislature should make an appropriation sufficient to purchase a new site of from 3<X> to 400 acres and that a mortem prison should be erected. If a new site was secured close to the present site, he is of the opinion that the convicts could be em ployed in the construction of the build ings. "My idea would be," he said, "to build the cell room first and the stone in the walls of the old prison could be removed and it would be plenty good enough for the shops. The buildings in the prison yard are fast going to decay. Everything is crowded and this is no place for a prison anyhow. We ought to have sufficient room to enable us to have a garden of sufficient size to raise all vegetables used annually in the prison, and our cell room should be more modern and up to date. It would probably take five or six years to build a new prison and would, in a measure^ solve the ques tion of convict labor for that period. Maybe by the time the prison could ba built something else would come up for the convicts to do that would not con flict with free labor to any great extent. I am soir.g to bring the matter to the at tention of he legislature and I hope they will give us an appropriation for a prison that will be a credit to the state." • The total vote in the Carlisle piano contest was announced yesterday. The Modern Woodmen lead with 895,706 votes. Company X, of the First regiment, takea the second prize with a vote of 601,107, and the high school Is third with 373,810 votes. It was rumored on the streets yesterday that the high school pupils would contest Company X's right to the second prize, but nothing was given out authoritatively. The count in the Fischer contest will not be completed until some time today. The board of prison managers will meet at the prison Jan. 9. A large number of applications for parole will come up for consideration. -Lawrence McHale has been received at the prison from Hennepin county, to serve six years for robbery in the first degree.
