TWO DADE CO. CITIZENS BROUGHT INTO LIMELIGHT OF PUBLICITY BY JOEL HURT IN CONNECTION WITH TIIE CONVICT INVESTIGA TION. Dr. Brock who Was camp physi cian at Cole City and Duke Brock who was the camp warden are the citizens referred to. (Fiom Tuesdays Constitution.) Joel Hurt of Atlanta next took the witness stand. In the course of his testimony concerning the operations in which he was en gaged in securing convicts for his various industrial enterprises he rtated that his company paid Dr. -J. Ft. Brock SSO or $75 a month as •camp physician in addition to the 'salary he received as a state officer. Witness said tins was known to the prison commission and they also knew that wardens and other convict officers throughout the state received pay from lessees. Mr. Hurt declared he did not know this was a violation of the rules, or he would nut have con tinued the practice in the case of Dr. Brock, to whom he had felt very friendly in the past. He said the fact that tie was paying an extra salary to Dr. Brock was made known to the prison commission by him in con nection with an epidemic ofscurvy which broke out in the Georgia Iron & Coal company camp and disabled a large percentage of the men tor several months. Witness had visited the camp in response to urgent requests fiom his men that something had been done and had consulted Dr. Brock. The latter deed a red the mines were un sanitary and this caused the ex cessive illness among the men. Mr. Hurt then appealed to the prison commission to make an in vestigation and to secure some physician of national reputation j for the work. Tnis they declined to do and Mr. Hurt at his own ex- i pense secured Dr. R. M. (•uuning ham, who was retained as the chief physician by the state of Alabama and afterwards was lieutenant gov ernor of the state. I)r. Cunning ham made an examination of the property and reported that the, sen ivy was caused by the diet pre scribed by t’m state. He advoca ted leaving off some of the pre scribed food and replacing these : rticl s with fresh vegetables. This coiuse was followed and all of the men immediately recovered and werea healthy lot thereafter. BIiOCK INCOMPETENT. Mi. Hut: 4 1 iecail <ne in stance. We had much troub’e at (’oal City. Duke Brock was drunk most of Hit tone and used his pis tol promiscuously. He was so in <p>li:pf teut and so dissipated that the place v\ as den:ornlized. We count not get (fficici i ,-e, vice and the ii.oi v.e h o t mjii ipci vv< r* threatening to run away because of Dukes dissipation. “I went to Dr. Brock the l rother of Duke Brock and asked if he could not get Duke to resign, 1 didnot'want to complain to the prison commission but conditions were intolerable, and our men had notified me that they would go away if Brock did not resign or quit drinking liquor. Dr, Brock and I were very friendly and-I laid the case before him very plainly.” Witness went on to state that Dr. Brock did not cooperate in having his brother removed, de claring that it would cause trouble in the family between himself and his mother and sister. He said ! e then called on Judge Turner and after waiting for some time for the latter to act called again. Con tinuing he said : “As it was of the utmost impor tance to get some one who would handle the convicts properly, I called on Jim English through whom some of the convicts had been leased. I knew lie was the man for me to talk to. He agreed to help me get rid of Brock. I asked: What are you going to do about it?” He said I will send him to another camp. “Using the possessive pronoun’ 5 interrupted Mr. Chandler. “Yes sir,” answered the witness. “A short vvhiie later Mr. Conyers, of south Georgia was assigned to (he place. He was warden of a camp in which Mr. English was interested. Mr. Brock was transferred. Bi t before he was transferred he got drunk in Chattanooga and go into seiious difficulty there. The whole matter culminated in his removal. GOOD HEWS AUTHORIZED Southern Steel Reorganiza tion Is Accomplished. A definite statement that the Southern Steel company had been reorganized and that its different plants and properties throughout the south would soon be in opera tion again was authorized last night. According to a written statement made by a member of t3h e reorganization committee, &in 7 complete arrangements have been made for financing the different enterprises of this company, arid within a few weeks it is expected that smoke will be seen from many stacks throughout this ‘ section which have been idle since last fall. Although the officials did not give out any definite statement last night as to the amount of money involved in the reorgani zation, or as to the number of men who will be employed within the next lew weeks, it is believed that the former will run away up in the millions of dollars, and that many thousand men will soon be employed The properties of the company are extensive, and when they were closed down last fall many men were put out of em ployment. It is said that the closing down of the Southern Steel company forced more pei sons out of employment in tlu south than any other two causes during the so-called u pa'iic ,? ol last fall. President Woodard, of the Han over National bank of New York city and D. (1. Boissevain, of New ( *' ' York, chairman and seeretary, respectively, of the reorganisation committee, have just completed a tour of the south, during which they inspected every plant in i property of the company. They went into the reorganization work very thoroughly and did not make any decision until alter several meetings of the committee had been held in New York city. They j were in Chattanooga for two days last week. The official statement from the committee as given out List night is as follows. •‘ij>oking to the reor d-alloi iof the Southern Steel co >.ny . provided by the plan of reorgani zation for this company and which plan has now been assented to by practically all the bondhold ers, collateral trust note holders and creditors the committee an nounces that financial arrange ments have been made to carry out the plan. The committee has paid up the overdue interest and sinking funds on the mortgages of the Georgia Steel company, the Laccy-Buek Iron company and the Chattanooga Iron and Coal company. This prevents the dis integration of these properties by foreclosure suits and assures to the new company the ownership of these valuable properties, con sisting among other things of 35,- 000 acres of ore lands and rights, and 37,000 acres of coal lands and rights, as well as a number of modern and up to date iron and steel works. —Ex.
