WASHINGTON. May 22 — Unable
to obtain any assistance frq^i their
own Democratic Senators, thousand'
of planters, manufacturers and busi
ness men of the Southern States are
swamping the Republicans of the
Senate with appeals for a modifica
tion of the new tariff hill.
The Southern Senators, in thr*
words of one of their number, arc
"sweating blood." They realize, it is
said, that they have been placed at a
disadvantage by the "no-compromise"
attitude of President Wilson.

These were the decla rations
made by the Rev George W
Crabtree, a prison evangelist,
here to attend the Presbyterian
Assemblies Thursday.
The Rev. Mr. t'rabtree. who ha
visited many prisons and prison
camps and has studied them care
fully. deplored the existing conditions
which he stated were in some cases
totally lacking in < *hri»t ianitv or hu-
ma nitv.
Armed with a letter fi

Comm fusion. lo act a- a
evangelist visited many
encampments and other
declared that when he presented trie
letter to Mr. Donaldson and asked
permission to hold services in bu
rn mp Mr. Donaldson flatly refused
Claims He Ignored Letter.
"Not only did Mr. Donaldieon refuse
to permit me to hold services In his
camp." said Mr Crabtree, "but hi
ignored !VU Davison's letter also in
this respect. I went ho far as to tele
phone one of his officials, n warden m
charge of the camp, and asked him if
I could come out and hold services at
night
"This warden informed me that I
would have to get Mr. Donaldson’''
permission to do that He laughed
when I told him 1 had Mr. Davison’s
permission. He told me that 1 could
not condui t services among the pris
oners in his camp without the consent
of Donaldson.
”T asked Mr. Donaldson If I might
be permitted to holt services there
during the night time I have con
ducted such services in practically
every convict camp in this State and
other Southern States, as well. Con
sequently I did not expect the re
ception which I received from Don
aldson He told me flatly that I
iould not see his prisoners at any
time except on Sundays.
Charges Inhumane Usagea.
The Rev. Mr. Crabtree charged in
his speech that Donaldson’s usages
of his convicts are most inhumane
He declared also that the work of
soul-saving among them was ham
pered. The evangelist averred that
the men were treated more brutally
in the Fulton County camp than in
that of any other section of the
State
Mr Crabtree severely criticised
Donaldsons action in ignoring Mr.
Davison's letter, declaring that it was
a pointed Insult to the crnnfnlsaioner

Mr Davison's letter read as fol

To the Wardens of the State
This will introduce to you Mr.
George VY. Crabtree, who is a
prison evangelist Permit him to
enter your camps and preach t«•
the prisoners and hold religious
services of any kind that he sees
fit. provided it is dong <*n Sundays
or at night, when the prisoners
are In camp Any courtesies
shown will be appreciated.
Very truly.

SCORES BOVS* TREATMENT.
"That small boys should be put in
the company «>f hardened criminals
is a disgrace t<» the South," declared
Mr. Crabtree, ’n this respect Geor
gia is far behind many of the other
Southern States, many of which have
begun t" realize tha< 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 1
have seen little boy? crowded in
camps of full grown men. which i«
undoubtedly the worst thing that can
conversations among the prisoners
and I have yet to find a camp where
the men are not glad to hear me
pr each.
Few Guards Are Converted.
"But tin greatest trouble is among
the guards and prison officials. In the
five years that I have been doing
evangelistic work In the convict
camps, though the conversions of
prisoners have been many . I have had
but one convert among the guard?
and officials. That was an oid man
In South Carolina some months ago."
'Hie Rev. Mr. Crabtree, whose home
is In Washington. S. t , travels from
camp to tamp in a large spring wag
bn. and in every Stale but Georgia,
and. In fact, everywhere in Georgia
except in Fulton County. Is permitted
to hold services among the prisoners
every night and several times on
Sunday. He has lately been given a
number of phonograph records, and
during Ills services regales the pris
oners with sacred music on a phono-
gra ph.
He came recently from the convict
• amps of Texas, where he was sent by
i he First Presbyterian Church session
of Houston. At the close of his tvork
in one big Texaj camp the prisoners
drew up resolutions of thanks to the
Houston church for sending /the Rev.
Alt Crabtree among them.
