LONDON, Nov. 25
Edgar Wallace, the novelist, has returned from America, where lie spent the whole of his time with the United States police, studying the crime wave. He states that he was amazed at the convict system. The prisoners came into the exercise yard smoking cigars and doing much as they liked. There was no discipline. Every prisoner has comfortable apartmentsj which are totally unlike cells. The convicts and the warders are more like “all boys together.”
