.la Juno 30 1909 was less than tne
number confined during the fiscal year
kit 1907 and 1908.
The decrease in number is attribut-
ed to the fact that Oklahoma and In-
dlan Territory .since admission to state-
hood have Jurisdiction to try many
cases formerly tried by Fe"dernfr courts
unly. The Federal prison at Fort
leavcnworth received fourteen prison-
ers from tho state of Oklahoma this

ber of boys confined for the past year

ed. Tho largest number in confine-
ment any ono day was 024. Tho dally
average population -was 521 as against
547 for tho year 1908. Tho plan of
subsisting tho Federal prisoners in
Alaska by contract has been discon-
tinued and the department has under-
taken to hoard the prisoners by a plan
under direct supervision of United
