Pcni,entiary Chaplain bill and i
came very near defeat by indefinite
postponement. Senator Lincoln Davi
opposed the bill because it proposed
supplying each convict with a bible
and did not define the size and cost o
such equipment. If the 700 inmates
should select SIS or $40 bibles th'
cost would be an aggregate that th'
Legislature could not afford to over
look.
Senator Brown felt sure a denomi
national dissension would result iron
appointment of Chaplain, that nov
the matter was going on very smooth
ly by the clergymen of Walla Wall,
giving religious instruction alternately

committee on Appropriations.
