IMPROVING PRISON MORALE

Plans are afoot for gymnasium in the Welfare Island Penitentiary, from which some! of the most astounding dis- closures of graft and corruption in the history of the United States, came to light recently.

Mr.

Tunney, former Gene heavyweight champion of the world. is expected to visit the prison shortly to give a physical demonstration to the inmates.

Of the 1,600 prisoners, 86 per cent. have no work to do and the iden of the gymnasium is to pro- vide them with physical exericse.

Pending the arrival of the parallel bars, horizontal bars and the horse, which will be' erected on the now unused floor of the old workhouse building long known as the "House of Idleness." the training of the prisoners will be confined to set- ting-up exercises.
