HOWARD SENDSSTATE CHAMBER
OPENS FUND TO
A chest of documentary evidence
concerning conditions at the Federal
Prison In Atlanta was sent to Wash
ington from this city by express
Wednesday morning by Congressman
William Schley Howard, who also de
parted for Washington, where, not
later than Saturday, he will Introduce
in the House a “privilege resolution”
calling for an investigation of the
prison administration.
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 and
Inhuman punishment.”
It was stated, he te’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

dorsing the movement were read from

Will You Be a Spug?
A spug—according to our incompar
able friend, “The Optimist”—is a
member of the new-born “Society for
the Prevention of Useless Giving.”
To be a spug, stop useless giving.
This sounds easier than it is, for use
less giving has become almost as much
a part of Christmas as the word

This long-delayed necessity was born
in New York. Mrs. August Belmont is
said to he the mother of the idea. May
blessings he upon her head and all who
join this Society for the Prevention of
Useless Giving.

dues. There are no personal require
ments, physical or mental. Neither race,
creed nor color makes a difference.
