TO PREVENT COLD FEET.
Mayor Davie Given a Unique
Task by the Board of
Works.
SEEKING A HEALTHY FLOOR.
The Prisoner in an Iron Cell Is so
Warm That He UpSetS All
Calculations.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
AOS Broadway March %. I


90S Broadway, March %
The matter of keeping the feet of prison
ers warm and at the same time maintain
ing a healthy floor at the City Prison is
now being investigated by the Mayor, who
was appointed a committee of one for that
purpose by the Board of Public Works.
The Health Board has demanded that
something should be done with the
noisome place and the City Engineer and
the Mayor have commenced series OF ex-
periments to determine how to best recon-
cile humane feeling with hygienic rules.
Engineer Wilson objects to cement
floor because it would be cold for the prls-
oners' feet. Mr.. Peirsol rather favors btu
men, while the Mayor says the hole be-
meath the floor should be filled up and
cement placed on top. Mr.. DAVE seeks
durability, Mr.. Wilson comfort and Mr..
Peirsol wants the cheapest. Councilman
Bassett interjected an opinion at the meet
ing of the board that if the floor was cold
the prisoners could put on their socks. he
said the prisoners had no right to expect
comfortable prison and should not be
there anyway.
Mayor Davie made an inspection OF the
floors of the cells to-day. He questioned
feet, and compiled some data, upon which
he is figuring. Some of the prisoners had
not given the matter thought, and
strange to say the man who said he had
very warm feet was in cell built of iron
and with a metal floor. AS the city s
chief executive officer went from cell to
cell to inquire about prisoners feet he
secured some strange answers.
II am not prepared to say at present
what report 1 shall make to the board, -
said the Mayor, "but although l do not
believe in making prison as comfortable
as MOTEL / think we should be humane.
1t appears like trivial matter, but l do
not so regard II.
"It is not merely matter of cold feet,
but of the general health of the prisoners.
If it were simply question OF warmth
for prisoners lower limbs l should feel
that it is subject of Importance. l know
how hard it is for some people to keep
their feet warm under the most favorable
circumstances and l have some sympathy
for people troubled with cold feet-even
prisoners"

4 Man sIashed With a Razor.

At an early hour this morning Policeman
Aitken of the harbor police discovered man
living in an unconscious condition on East
street.
On close examination he found that the
prostrate man was terribly slashed all over the
body. The clothes were saturated with blood
and IL was evident that death was not iaf o,
The victim of some iendish assassin was
hurriedly removed to the Receiving Hospital
He was cut from one ear far down the, neck ;
another deep cut extended across the breast,
and still another in the abdomen.
His right hand was almost severed from the
arm, and it was thought he could not live
