in log buildings are only partially guard
ed. Ordinary padlocks are used 10 close ;'
tbs doors az there is nothing more avail
able. If a revolt should occur nine-ten'ns
of these despersdoes would escape, put
this ia no. the worst of the situation, as
the number of convicts is increasing rap
idly. Marshal Irwin estimates tns'
the number of couvicts In Tue
peniteutisry will be increased to 2oo
before the winter is ended. There Is not a
dollar available to provide adequate quar-
tiers. TIE Marshal has sufficient money
to feed convicts, but there Is no money on
hand for any other purpose. He is, In ad-
dition, deprived of the federal government
eppropriation Of 81 500. The only way by
which proper and safe accommodations for
the convicts csn be secured is through an
appropriation by the Legislature.
