12. A sad condition of affairs has been found at the United States jail here by the commission appointed last winter to investigate the subject. According to a statement made today by Warden McKee, there are six hundred prisoners to occupy the 270 cells, 260 of which were designated cells, 260 of which were designated for only one occupant each. As a result many pi isomers, including a number cf women, have to sleep on ths floors Cf the corridors. For the 500 male prisoners there are only four bath tubs.

"The present facilities at the. Jail necessitate crowding," says the warden. "Persons in all conditions of health are placed together. Old offenders are thrown in contact with those who are serving their first term." The investigating commission will make a vigorous appeal to congress next winter to provide funds sufficient to remedy the evils discovered. SAVE s200tos400 PIANO BARGAINS after a brief illness.

Lewis. The miners, he said, knew what the organization did for them District President T. D.
