was all clear sailing. The difficulty
WAS how to get his little favortc past

PUTS ENTIRE BLAME
ON CITY COUNCIL
Has Failed to Help City Home,
Says Superintendent
Davis.
LYONS 1l ON HIS TREMENs
No Place Available for Custody
Of Dangerous
Prisoners.

q. AS result of the unusual case
which came un Wednesday night. some
changes will probably be made in the
system which regulates the disposition
of dangerous prisoners. George NJ.
Lyons. the Washington man who was
raving with delirlum tremens. was
finally committed to the city jail by
order of Justice Crutchfield. and last
night 1t was said that he was rational
again.
Superintendent Davis. of the City
Home, explained that there was no
place Mt the Institution for dangerous
prisoners. and he was not willing to
accept Lyons when the effects might
have been fatal.
For years" said Mr.. Davis. AZ have
appealed to Council to have proper cells
provided in the City Home. Nothing
has ever been done, There isn't a
padded cell in the house. The fault is
not with the management. but with
the laws of Council, and repeated efforts
to have changes and improvements
failed to bring about that which was
desired and needed"
The Police Commission will go after
Council. Members say that the sum
of 100000 was spent on an annex to
the city jail for hospital purposes. but
it has never been equipped or put into
use. What happened Wednesday night
Is likely to happen any day, according
to the police. and the same troubles
will be experienced, unless Council
takes hold of the situation in prac-
fjcal way.
