He came recently from the convict <amps of Texas, where he was sent by the First Presbyterian Church session of Houston. At the close of his work in one big Texas camp the prisoners drew up resolutions of thanks to the Houston church for sending the Rev. Mr. Crabtree among them. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. J ROME, ITALY, May 11 -Cardinal William O’Connell, of Boston, arrived! here recently, accompanied by Dr. John K Slattery, and both have had frequent interviews at the Vatican, .•specially with Cardinal Merry Del Va! who is an Intimate friends of the Boston prelate, while Dr. Slattery met and conferred with the Pope’s doe- tor*. Secrecy if maintained as to the ob ject of Cardinal O’Connell’s visit, but it j<- said he was summoned to Home by »h<- Papal Secretary of State. White City Park Now Open The Rev. Mr. Cr, visited many prlso (amps and has stuc fully, deplored th which he stated s. who has* tnd prison them care- xisting conditions ■re in sortie cases hu- •d totally lacking in Christianity inanity. Armed with a letter from R. K Da vison, chairman of the State Prison Commission, to aid ae a passport, the evangelist visited many of thp State encampments and other prisons. II* declared that when he presented tne letter to Mr. Donaldson and asked permission to bold services in his camp Mr. Donaldson flatly refused. Claims He Ignored Letter. “Not only did Mr. Donaldson refuse to permit me to hold services In his camp," said Mr Crabtree, ’’but he ignored Mr. Davison's letter also in this respect. I went so far as to tele phone one of his official** a warden in charge of the camp, and asked him if 1 could come out and hold services at night. “This warden Informed me that 1 would have to get Mr. Donaldson's permission to do that. He laughed when I told him I had Mr. Davison’s permission. He told me that I could pot conduct services apiorig the pris oners in his camp without the consent bf Donaldson. ! “1 asked Mr. Donaldson if 1 might t>e permitted to hold services there during the night time I have con ducted such services in practically every convict camp in this State and 6ther Southern States, as well. Con sequently l did not expect the re- i eption which I received from Don- Idson. He told me flatly that I could not see his prisoners at any tiirie except on Sundays." Charges Inhumane Usages. } The Rev. Mr. Crabtree charged in his speech that Donaldson’s usages <t»f his convicts are most inhumane. He declared also that the work of foul-saving among them was ham- vangelist averred that treated more brutally County camp than in other section of the perc*(3. The f the men were in the Pulton that of any State Mr. Crabtree severely criticised Donaldson's action in ignoring Mr. Davison’s letter, declaring that it was a pointed insult to the commissioner, as well Christianity. Mr. Davison’s letter read as fol lows: State Prison Commission, Atlanta, Ha. To the Wardens of the State: This will introduce to you Mr. George W. Crabtree, who is a prison evangelist. Permit him to eater your camps and preach to the prisoners and hold religious services of any kind that he secs • fit, provided it Is done on Sundays or at night, when the prisoners are In camp. Any courtesies shown will be 'appreciated. Very truly, R. K. DAVISON, Chairman. Scores Boys’ Treatment. “That small boys should be put in the company <»f hardened criminals Is a disgrace to the South,” declared Mr. Crabtree. In this respect Geor gia is far behind many of the other Southern States, many of which have begun to realize that the prisoner is, after all a human being and that ef forts should be made to elevate him rather than harden him in the ways of sin. In many Georgia camps I have seen littlq boys crowded in camps of full grown men, which 1m undoubtedly the worst thing that can be done. “•Throughout the South, in practi cally every convict camp that I have visited, the prisoners receive my teachings and the services that I hold in the right spirit. I have had many' conversations among the prisoners, and I have yet to find a camp where the men are not glad to hear me preach. Few Guards Are Converted. "But the greatest trouble is among the guards and prison official's.
