PAIX BEARS PLAN TO ABAN DON M'ORKHOl'SE FOR PRISONERS Rough I.aad Away From City la Con sider Desirable and Beat Care far Chronic Caaea. ST. PAUL Aug. U St. Paul's work house will be replaced by a municipal farm If the plans of Mayor Powers, Commissioner Gous and other mem bers of the City Council can be carried to completion. Although it is not probable that they will see Hie project realized during their present official terms, the move ment which they will father promises to become a popular one and to reach definite form within two or three years. The budget for next year will be high without adding s.ny unnecessary extra features, and for this reason it is improbable that tbe plan for a munici pal farm will be broached in more than a preliminary way this year. Mayor Powers has investigated the subject by making Inquiries In other cities. Commissioner Goss has made similar inquiries and both are of the opinion that the purchase of a farm by- St. Paul will be a good move. The workhouse is in bad repair and within a year or two a big sum must be spent if It is to be repaired and remodoled to suit the needs of the city," said Mayor Powers. 'It would be a great deal better for prisoners to work out of doors on a farm. I always have felt ashamed of the fact that the workhouse Is right at the entrance to St. Paul's most beautiful park and one of the prettiest parks In the country. The municipal farm In Kansas City attracted the attention of the St. Paul officials when they visited the Missouri metropolis last Winter. Statistics in Kansas City show a decrease in the number of "chronic prisoners' as a re sult of the Influence of outdoor work. The city should buy an unimproved tract, according to Mayor l'owers.

Secretary McAdoo has received sev eral leters suggesting useful purposes to which the conscience fund might be applied, but none so confidingly trust ful as this one.
