PRISONERS SAY
FOOD IS AWFUL
CHAIN GANG ON VERGE OF
MUTINY
Men Working at Scene of coIeerove's
Famous Big Trees Fed on
Stale Bread and Sour
Beans

Preferring hunger to the Shiny,
sour mess offered them in lieu of food,
the members of the Los Angeles county
chaln gang were on the verge of mutiny
yesterday while at work in Colegrove,
and had it not been for the charitable
work OF. the citizens of the neighbor-
mood who hurried to the assistance OF
the hungry men trouble might have re-
suited.
For the third time within the past
week the beans were sour yesterday,
ana when the men were called from
work at the noon hour and offered the
ill-smelling mess they revolted and re-
turned to the road where they had been
employed digging up trees.
This is the third day this week that
we have been given stuff that is not
bystander. I'VE are county prisoners
and we do a hard days work for the
county. and we at least expect to get
food that can be eaten. Monday the
beans were sour and Thursday the
same thing occurred.
"a dog wouldn't eat the mess served
us for food and we have reached a
stage where we can't eat the stuff, and
if we don't eat we don't work.
Citizens Feed Hungry Men
eve are supposed to get Scent
meals, while the stuff we generally
get costs about 2 cents. The beans
are sour and we have a hunk of dry
bread to go with them. We can't eat
the beans and we won't eat dry bread,
so there is trouble coming"
A citizen of Colegrove investigated
the affair. He had tasted the food the
day before and complained to the
guards that the beans were sour. On
the second day, when the men COM
planned, he made a second inVestiga-
ton and yesterday when the men quit
work the citizen called up Under Sheriff
Yonkin at the county Jail and told
of the condition of the food.
1.-THE food is prepared by the Jail
cooks and is supposed to be well cooked.
The men are not required to eat sour
beans and an investigation will be
made at once" said Mr.. Yonkin.
But the chain gang men were very
hungry by that time and the citizen
called up Jailer White on the phone.
White stated that the food had been
properly prepared, but failed to find
any excuse for the sour beans.
At the suggestion of the man from
Colegrove White ordered the captain of
the chain gang to buy supplies at the
Colegrove store.
Officials All Sidestep
A quantity of bologna sausage was
secured and then the neighbors came
to the rescue. One kind-hearted woman
prepared a dish of bacon, gravy and
pie dough. made up in dumping form.
The starved men pounced upon. it with
yells of joy and it disappeared. The
same woman then stirred up a kettle
of fruit and that delicious dish went
the road of the other Several other
donations We're made by neighbors.
Every official approached regarding
the affair neatly sidestepped and passed
the responsibility on to some one else.
The guards in charge of the men were
in no way to blame for the condition
of the food and one of them was out
spoken in his indignation and offered
to buy food for the men if it should
become necessary

D. Miss Laura Combs, who essayed the
soprano role, is a singer Of merit. She
has high flexible voice under perfect

not sing the role with great success.

its beauty and less at home with the

she might be with more brilliant num-
bers. Why U. s. Kerr should sing the
basso was not evident last evening.
His upper register is of much better
quality and better! placed, but his lower
voice was called into use almost ex-
clusively. He was further handicapped
by an accompaniment, necessarily
heavy with it's chaotic tumult, which,

THE BEATITUDES

The first presentation in Minneapolis
Of Cesar Franck's wonderful oratorio,
1.-THE Beatitudes,'' called by some his
masterpiece, was given last evening at
the Auditorium by the Philharmonic
club, accompanied by the Symphony Or
chestra, under the direction Of Emil
Oberhoffer. Today this composer ex-
erts one Of the most tremendous forces
IN modern music, especially in the
French school, tho in his lifetime, fif-
teen years ago, he was considered mere
" diligent teacher, devoted to his
1n?Ih playing the organ at Saint Clo-
ton. HThe Beautitudes,' a character
istic work, has been given in many
parts of the country and gradually the
music-loving public is becoming &C.
quainted with it. In spirit and in the

as the ten dency of its moral teaching,
this oratorio ranks with the old miracle

usual; yet with all this beauty there
is a vague quality about it, a mere sup-
gestiveness. It represents the unat-
tanned ideals toward which he gropes.
Because of this, Franck has been called
the "mystic~ musician and perhaps
in this very thing lies his emotional
appeal.
The oratorio makes great demands
upon the chorus, but no more could
have been asked of it last evening. Its
volume was full, and showed to ad-
vantage in the sustained passages,
which were read with breadth and de.
