 The following letter from J. w. Darlington, superintendent of the ter ritorial prison, was read and ordered spread on the minutes: l Office of the Territorial Prison,
 Yuma, Ariz.. October 6, 1897: "To the Honorable Board of Con- trol, Phoenix, Ariz.: Gentlemen Every sense of justice, charity and hu- manity demand that a matron for the ' prison be appointed to look after the welfare of, find suitable employment for and afford that protection to fe- ] male cOnvictS that is essentially nec- essary in an institution of this kind. "Such an appointment would lend not only moral effect, the absence of which is now most perceptible, but will afford all officials that social pro- , tection which is rightfully due them r Under existing circumstances it is g not only exceedingly unpleasant, but : practically impossible for the officers and guards to meet the requirement.: of the law relating to prisoners.
 "The quarters assigned to female ,, convicts is literally a den of horror and no remedy for this state of af fairs exists without a large expendi- f ture of money under present condi tions. The appointment of matro1 f would Obviate the necessity of the ex e penditure of any considerable amour of money-there being on hand al = unused guard house and iron cages - which could be combined at little, i any, expense and afford to femal, T prisoners that comfort and treat Il ment, privacy and seclusion which VI , are in duty bound to give them. IF eve have here at present three fe male prisoners, who are certainly en y titled to some consideration, living il J. rat hole and suffering torture tha
