ONE OF THE hURDERERS
Senator Hog Hanna Thinks
the War Department
Lived Up to All Rea-
sonable Demands.

CLEvELAND, Ohio. Sept. 2, 1sss.-Sen-
ator NJ. A. Hanna has returned TO
Cleveland after a months outing in the
Yellowstone Park and the Northwest. In
the course of an interview concerning
the reported sufferings in army camps.
Mr.. Hanna said
II do not care to place the blame for
the conditions upon any one. I will say,
however, that the Governors of the differ
ent States appointed the volunteer Off
GERS, and we find that the illness among
the troops comes from the volunteer
ranks The places for the location of the
camps were selected because of their
availability and their climatic conditions.
Regular troops have been camped
alongside the volunteers and no sickness
among them. I do not wonder that the
death rate has been high in some in
stances. Several times I visited Camp
Alger and looked carefully over the place.
At the edge of the camp | found banana
stands. and places where beer and pop
and such stuff were sold to the TROOPS.
This kind of stuff never helped the vol
unteers.
Look at the task which has been per
formed by the Administration At the
outbreak of the war there was provision
for but 125 900 men, am acquainted per-
sonally with the heads of the War De-
partment. and I am positive that they
worked from sixteen to eighteen hours
army of between 275.000 and 100000 men.
The whole affair seems marvellous TO me
and could not have been accomplished
by any other nation in the world. The
War Department had a most stupendous
task before 1t and it was equal TO the

States bond coupons. and another contain
ing 81 500 in greenbacks.
Counsel for the British Postoffice made
statement saying that Jago was un.
Adoubtedly the prime mover in the rob-
berries. He explained that it was arrang-
ed that Kynaston should receive the mail
bags at Queenstown. and place certain
of the sacks, from London, so that they
might be easily reached. The same night
Kynaston visited the mail room and took
the bags to Jago's cabin On the fol-
lowing night he repeated this perform-
ance, but both the bags We're found to
contain matter which was useless to the
prisoners. On the third night, however,
registered letter bag was secured.
The day before the arrival of the Bri-
tanr1ic at New York, Jago gave Kynaston
twenty stolen coupons to cash; but. Kyn-
aston was arrested as a result of the
suspicious of the cashier of the bank he
applied to, and Jago fed, after endeav-
oring TO dispose of a quantity of stolen
property by posting ii to his relatives and
friends Consul added that most of the
above facts were derived from a confess
sion made by Kynaston.

support of the statements made by coun-
sci for the Post Office including Steward
Galway's description of the smuggling
operations and mail robberies, Jago and
the other prisoners were remanded.

DIRECTOR CLAYTON'S PASS
Wardner Grimes Tells the
Freeholders Why it
Was Not Honored.

Director Clayton's violent attack of
Indignation because he was informed that
pass he had issued to one of his con-
constituents to visit female prisoner in
the penitentiary had not been properly
honored, seems to have been without
foundation if the statement submitted to
the Board of Freeholders yesterday
afternoon BY Warden Grimes is correct.
This is the Wardens statement
Hudson County Penitentiary,
Snake Hill, Aug. 81. 'sS.
To the Honorable Director and Mem
bers of the Board of Freeholders -
Conference.-The official minutes of the
meeting held August 10, was received by
me today, and I find therein a comnuni-
cation from the Hon. Director A. W.
Clayton, prefering charges against me
for not suspending Deputy Warden Fields
on August s, 1885, The facts of this case
are as follows:-
Mary Livingston and Ada Ryan were
committed here July 27, 1S9S by Record
er Stanton, of Hoboken, for ninety days,
as disorderlys persons. On August a
man presented himself with q pass say
ing he wanted to see Mary Livingston,
one of the wonaen mentioned above. He
was informed by the doorman that no
males were allowed to See female prison.
ers except relatives He then called at
the Office to see the Deputy, where he
was told the same. He then left after
leaving some fruit for the woman Liv-
ingston. No woman was with him or no
woman came here to see Mary Living
ston. If they had they would have been
admitted.
The object of this rule, which has been
in force over twelve years is to benefit
these unfortunates sentenced here by
keeping them from contact with the male
population who. are always so ready to
seek such society, and the rule has not
only met the approval of the best people
of our county, but has been commended
and favorably spoken of by the State AS
socsGt{on.
When Director Clayton telephoned me
to suspend Mr.. Fields, told him the
methods employed in such cases, was TO
investigate. and if the facts warranted,
then charges could be preferred to the
Board or to the Committee on Pendten-
tiary. ] told him also that l would in
vestigate the case myself, which | have
done. and l find the facts just as I have
stated and also well corrobOrated.
Mr.. Fields only performed his duty in
refusing males to visit female prisoners
not relatives; that being rule in this in
stitution. No female visitor asked to see
Mary Livingston or any other person
without being admitted.
am inclined to the Impression that the
Hon Director A. W. Clayton, has been
Imposed upon. Such language as de-
scrfbed never took place, and the EN-
ployes, myself included, court the fullest
investigation. Mr.. Clayton can rest as
member of the Board will always be
treated respectfully.
Your obedient servant
JOHN GRIMES
Warden.
The statement was referred to the Com
mittee on County Institutions, who will
make an investigation at the next meet-
ing.

and the Southern camps. The terrible
condition of our heroes he said, lis the.
outcome Of the very system which the Nc
Evan Association organized to combat
the boss and spoils system. He MAIN
tanned that the McEwan Association WAS
endeavoring to build up and not tear down
the Republican party. II was high time
it should be done as the local party was
decreasing The way to bring back the
lost vote was to organize and throw over
the bosses. Trusts should be done away
with. Then there would be work for
all. None would be out of employment
TheApractica1 way to begin this work was
to go to the enrolment and overthrow the
bosses at the primaries If we succeed
in this county other similar organizations
will spring UP in Essex, Passaic, Union
and other counties.
