Donaldson for Refusing to Allow Night Services in Camps. prisoners have been many, I have had but one convert among the guards and officials. That was an old man in South ‘‘amlina some month# ago." The Rev. Mr. Crabtree, whose home is in Washington, H C., travel* from camp to camp in a large spring wag on. and in every State 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, tie ha* lately been given a number of phonograph records, and during his service# regales the pris oners with sacred music on a phono graph. 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. U, S.

ROME, ITALY, May 22.—Cardinal William O’Connell, of Boston, arrived here recently, accompanied by Dr. John R Hlattery, and both hava had frequent interviews at the Vatican, especially with Cardinal Merry Del Yal, who is an intimate friends of the Boston prelate, while Dr. Flattery met and conferred with the Pope’s doc Secrecy Is maintained as to the ob ject of Cardinal O'Connell’s visit, but it is said he was summoned to Rome by the Papal Secretary of State. White City Park Now Open THAT— The South is seriously lacking in humanitarianism in its treatment of prisoners; Small boys are made to associate with hardened criminals; Religious services have been denied the prisoners; Georgia is the most derelict of Southern States in this matter; Thomas J. Donaldson, County Superintendent of Prisons, is not the proper man for the offiee he occupies. Thepe were the declarations EXTRA SPECIAL made by the Rev. George W. Crabtree, a prison evangelist, here to attend the Presbyterian Assemblies Thursday. The Rev. Mr. Crabtree, who lias* visited many prisons and prison camps and has studied them car* fully, deplored the existing conditions which he stated were in some cases totally lacking in Christianity or hu manity. Armed with a letter from R !•: Da vison. chairman of the State Prison commission, to art an a passport, the evangelist visited mans of the State encampments and other prisons JI«* declared that when he presented the letter to Mr. Donaldson and asked permission to hold 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 officials, a warden id charge of the camp, nnd asked him if I could come out and hold services at night “This warden informed me that J would -have to get Mr DonaldsonV permission to do that. He laughed when J told him I had Mr. Davison’s permission. He told me that J could not conduct services among the pris oners in hi* ramp without the c**nuen> of Donaldson. “1 asked Mr. Donaldson if I might be permitted to hold services there during the night time. I have con ducted such services in practically •very convict camp in this Stale and other Southern States, us well Con sequently l did j t *xp, ! the re - eption which I received from Don aldson He told me flatly that I could not see his prisoners at any time except on Sundays Charges Inhumane Usages. The Rev. Mr. Crabtree charged in his speech that Donaldson’s usages of his convicts are most inhumane. He declared also that the work *.f soul-saving among them was ham pered The evangelist averred that the men were treated more brutally in the Fulton County ramp than in that of any other section of the State. Mr. Crabtree severely criticised Donaldson’s action in ignoring Mr. Davison's letter, declaring that it wus a pointed insult to the commissioner, as well Christianity. Mr. Davison's letter read as fol lows: State Prison Commission, Atlanta. Ga. To the Wardens of the State: This will Introduce to you Mr. George W. Crabtree, who is a prison evangelist. Permit Dim to enter your camps and preach to tiie prisoners and hold religious services of any kind that he sees fit. provided it is done on Sundays or at night, when the prisoners are in camp. Any courtesies shown will he appreciated. Very truly, n. K. DAVISON, Chairman. Scores Boys’ Treatment. "That small boys should he put in the company of hardened criminals is a disgrace to the South,” declined 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 he. made to elevate him rather than harden him in the ways of sin. In many Georgia camps I have seen little boys crowded in camps of full grown men. which is undoubtedly the worst thing that can be done. “Throughout tDo South, in practi cally every convict camp that J have visited, the prisoners receive my teachings and the services that I hold in the right spirit. 1 have had many i conversations among the prisoners I and I have yet to And a camp when the men are not glad to hear me preach.
