Before leaving Atlanta Mr. Howard stated that a huge mass of evidence, largely documentary, had been pro duced. and went on to say that there was absolutely nothing political in the effort to bring the investigation. Mr. Howard mentioned a list of the charges, which, he said, were made by "responsible persons in a position to know the facts." Among the charges were lack of discipline, improper and insufficient feeding, and medical treatment re stricted to the administration of ep- som salts. "It is further alleged." said Mr Howard, "that men have died from the administration of excessive ant inhuman punishment." It jvas stated, he rr^d. that several mutinies had occurred in the prison within the last three months, and it was alleged "that these mutinies were actuated by a lack of respect on the part of the prisoners toward the ex ecutive and officials of the prison." "It is charged also." said the Con gressman. "that certain men former ly employed at the prison were dis charged by the warden on suspicion of inciting convicts to mutiny, and that the moral tone surrounding pris oners is of such a character as to create a spirit of disrespect for the law.” Congressman Howard said that ac tion could be had on a "privilege res olution" within seven days after its introduction on the floor of the House. "I have no personal interest what ever in seeking this investigation." Mr. Howard said. "As an official of the government, and as a representa tive of the district in which this In stitution is located.I feel that I should STATE CHAMBER OPENS FUND II FIGHT 1EEVIL With more than $1,600 a year for three years subscribed by a score of business men at a dinner at the Hotel Ansley the officers of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce have inaugu rated a campaign to raise $50,000 for the work of the organization, confi dent that their efforts will be suc cessful.
