BOYS SAY THEY HAVE
 NO CAUSE TO COMPLAIN
Investigation of Charges Made Against Superintendent Griffin of Boys Industrial farm-Rymarkiewicz Reterates His
 Statement Gives Nashville Citizens as Reference

Notwithstanding the fact that charges have been made that they are being mis- treated, the boys at the Industrial School near East Lake seem to be contented and bear no evidences of cruel treatment or of being underfed. The building occupied by the school is new and neat and comfort- able. The inmates of tho institution say they are well treated by the superintend- snt and his assistants and that they have no desire to leave.
 There are twenty-eight of these boys at fhe school, ranging in age from Il to II years, some of whom are voluntary in- mates and others were sent there for the purpose of being reformed. The latter had been before the courts of Alabama on criminal charges, but on account of their youth were sent to the reformatory school instead of the coal mines
 One of the boys, Horato Lynch by name. was sent to the mines from Butler county on a charge of vagrancy. He was given a six-months' sentence. He had served about two months of this term at Pratt mines before being transferred to the industrial school. He is Is years of age and comes of a respectable and we'll to-do family in Lawrence county, where his mother now resides. He ran away from home in October and was on his way to Mobile when arrested at Green gille.
 He tried to escape from the school a Kew days after betting sent there, but was caught before he had gone very far and returned to the school. The superintend- ant had chains put on him as means of punishment and also to restrain him from again attempting to escape
 The statement of Joseph Rymarhewicz, formerly cook at the school which was published in The Age-Herald yesterday morning, created considerable indigna- tiou among the friends of the school The charges made by Rymarkiewicz were in dignantly denied by Mrs. R. D. Johnston, president of the board of control of the school, and by other members of the board and by friends of the institution. It Is claimed by them that Rymarkiewicz acted strangely during his stay at the school and that he occasionally claimed to have had visions. They say his cook ing was not satisfactory and that he was more or less troublesome from the time he went to the school
 Conditions investigated.
 Yesterday morning Mrs. Johnston ar ranged for a committee to go out to the farm for the purpose of investigating the conditions there This committee, consist ing of Rev. pr. J. P. McFerrin, pastor of the First Methodist church; S. D. weakley, lawyer, and an Age-Herald re- porter, accompanied by Mrs. Johnston, went out to the farm, which is two miles east of East Lake. Several of the boys were brought before this committee and questioned regarding their treatment, and each one said that he was contented, and that the superintendent treated them as kindly as could be desired.
