Daniel LOWRIE, secretary to Warden Thomas Mort OSBORNE, of Sing Sing prison, in an address before the Woman's City Club yesterday at the Seneca Hotel advocated that all convicts be paid by the state for their labor, that they may support their families, and that murderers be forced to toil till they die and the families of the victims receive the returns from their labor. The speaker said he believed that convict labor should build the forthcoming transcontinental highway and that criminals make shoes, clothing and implements for these laborers. He branded the present system as stupid because it made a man a burden upon society the moment he committed a crime. Prisoners should be paid for their labor at the same scale of wages they would earn at similar work in free life, he declared. * SCHUCHART - MILLER The marriage of Miss Minnie Kathryne MILLER to Herbert J.
