These supplementary instructions in: clude regulations regarding. residence, citizenship, . physicial . disability . and other important features not covered in the general. call for enrollment, and were issued in response to scores of questions which bave been coming in to the office of the Military Training Com: mission here. One question frequently asked is: \Is there any punishment for a boy who fails to enroll?\ * The following answer is given by the commission: \A boy subject 'to the Jaw who falls to enroll will fall to receive a certificate of en: roliment and compliance with the mil itary law of the state; without this cer tifcate he cannot legally attend school or be employed; an employer who em ploys a boy of military training age without this. certificate is, in accord ance with a ruling of the attorney gen- eral of the state, guilty of a misde meanor.\ Answers to some of the other im- portant questions raised. follow: Non-residents of the state who are attending school or college in New York state are ~mubject. to the mo-called mil- tary training law and must enroll. Boys who live outside New York state mrt attend-day-school-or- wo to- werk daily in New York are not residents of New York; by action of the Military Training Commission they are exempt: ed from the military training required of residents, -and therefore are not re- quired 16 enroll. + Aliens resident in New York are not required to enroll. Boys serving 'in the United States \irmy or navy are not required to en- roll.

No Specific Violations State Commission of Prisons, Albany, -N. Y, Gentlemen: The reports submitted to the State Commission of Prisons of the inspection nfade August 24, 1920, by Commissioners Jobn 8. Kennedy and Leon C, Weinstock, on the 'Nagsau County Jail at Sineoln, New York, have been referred to me. These reports do not indicate in arly way that the present number of cells wre at all Inadequate for the accommo dation of the total number of prisoners which have been confined in the pres- ent calendar year, but the alleged vio lations are claimed to have taken place by reason of a failure to segregate prop tiv the various classes of prisoners. A detailed sthtement of the failure to properly classity these prisoners in not included in the reports, so It is impossl- ble to determine in what manner the alleged violations have occurred. In this connection I beg to call your attention to the fact that the Board of now, apd always. has been ready and present -capacity-of -the-Jail; 11.2 On May 4, 1920, Mr. Hiram R. Smith chairman of the Board of Supervisors mccompanied by myself and Mr. Uter hart, apperred before the Btate Com mission of Prisons in Albany, and stat ed that the Board of Supervisors pro Supervisors of the county of Nammau in | willing to make any and all changes to provide for proper segregation of the variqus classes of prisoners, and they: have been 'advised by their archi- tect, Mr. Beardsley, that such chahges can be made without Increasing the In view of the fact that the highest nvernge number of prisoners in the present cal: endar year was 26.8 in the month of January, 1920, and has been as low as in the month of April, it would mem that the Board of Supervinors' contention that the Increase in the num- ber of cells over the-present number of fifty was not necessary, is well founded.

The report Of the New York State | Prison Commission, as submitted to the | supervisors, follows, and the reply by the nttornay for the upervlsors appears in-an. column: That there have been repeated vio- lationa of law with respect to the feation and segregation of prisoners in the Nassau County Jnil during the pres: ent yéar in set forth in a report by President John 8.

As a matter of fact, the jail extensions nnd improvements de- manded by the commission would have used only about $125,000 of this amount, and the balance' would be applicable tor other purposes of the county, The supervisors at all timew desired\ that any new Building construction 'should be carried out to maintains the tectural beauty and design. of the county' building group, which was bound to be expensive and not required by the commiaMon, but mssented to in approving the plans at the request of the county authorities, : \\To the people of Naxeai\ooustiy; = who have thE opinion that this com- mission is seeking to impose an unju ty heavy trac -burden-on-the county; -it - should be said that the commission his at all times tried to be fair in the mit ter, never acting \brbitrarily in its dou- | Ingo with the supervisors, but doing its legal duty ma intess It, afd the Justice of its position cannot full to be appar- ent on a present-day\ showing. \It should be said in pumsing that If the supervisors hind acted upph the commission's recommendationa when originally made, the jail extension could have been bullt for approximately one- half what the cost will be now, alfould thto commimion be mustained, by. the people are employed in the large fin- / ancial institutions in the Wall street | district.

In the case of boys whose homes are in New York state, but who are attend- ing school or college in. some other state, one of two methods of proce: dure may be followed. First, boys un: der such etreumtances need not enroll.
