ALBANY. Dec. 0. Severe condemnation
is visited upon the Tombs prison conditions
by State Prison Commissioners Francis c.
Huntington and Henry Solomon after a
recent inspection Of the prison. On Decem-
ber there were 89I in the prison. with
proper capacity Tor only 54s. In their
report the commissioners say:
-The worst conditions at present seem
to be in the boys department. On August
% there we're Il6 boys and on November 20
there we're l24 boys. and only eighty beds.
This condition of things is a disgrace to
the city. As a temporary expedient each
cell should be Immediately lifted with
another bed. placed over tho present bed
like an upper berth But for the perma-
nent condition of things accommodations
must be found so that it will not be neces-
sary TO put more than one person in a cell.
An additional bed should also be put in
at least one-fourth of the 24O mems cells.
There were forty men doubled up on No
vember 20 and they had to sleep as best
they could, taking turns between the bed
and the floor.
"In the ten day department there are
eight cells, with an average of twenty men.
Those that cannot have a bed lie on a plat
form which is arranged every night.
1T has been suggested that the Ludlow
street Jail might perhaps be used as a sub
stitute for the Essex Market Jail, but il il
to be considered whether IL cannot better
be used to accommodate the overflow
from the Tombs. II some arrangements OF
this kind cannot be made then additional
cells in connection with the Tombs seem
to be necessary. The matter should be
at once brought TO the attention OF the city
and county authorities.

Third Member of the "Weary
Squad" of "Starvation Ar

KEPT A DIARY ON THE TRIP.
THOMAS ARE CONTINUING BY
RAIL-SAW APPoMATTox BAT
TLEFIEIC.

Richard Holzapfel. who left the city
about two weeks ago with Kenneth
Harms and Elmer Thomas, to tramp u
the jamestown exposition, has return
ed home thoroughly disguised with his
experience as hobo. He states that
he left his two companions at Lynch
burg Va, where they were to take 4
train to Norfolk, Va, Isl miles
from Lynchburg. He states that he
and his two companions had rough
time of it in their tramp through Ken
lucky and West Virginia, owing to the
rough country and the cold, rainy
weather.
Kept Diary of Trip.
Young Holzapfel kept diary on his
trip which he turned over to Officer
Edwards for inspection when he ar
rived here. 1t is most interesting
reading. On April II he records that
when they arrived in Bluefield. w. Va.
they met an army officer who was re-
cruiting mountaineers for the service.
He told of the rough. unhospitable
country they would have to travel
through to reach Norfolk and then
asked them to enlist in the army. All
the BOYS refused The next person
they fell in with was reporter on the
Bluefield Telegraph. who interviewed
them and started a subscription. All
that he raised was 30 cents and the
newspaper man contributed that.
Styled "Starvation Army"
On April l., the diary states that the
Richmond travellers arrived ~
Lynchburg, Va, where Harms became
ill and they sat up with him all night in
the waiting room at railroad station.
On April 13 the weary squad OF the
Starvation army as HolZapfel
styles himself and companions, went
to Appomattix, Va. and viewed the his
torical field, where General Lee made
his surrender to General Grant. The
diary states that the starvation
army also surrendered here. the au-
thor deciding to return home, sweet
home. while Harms and Thomas resolv
ed to complete their journey by going
to Norfolk by rail. An attempt was
made to telegraph to their parents for
money. but it was discovered that the
Appamattox telegraph station was not
a pay station so they had to hike back
to Lynchburg to send their kilograms.
Holzapfel states in his diary that his
father wired him $50 and that after
buying a square meal he bid his COM
panions a fond farewell and took 4
train for Cincinnati and from there to

tive. loyal support from business men
who have held aloof from active work.
Mr.. Townsend's proposition of $500,
if nine others will give a like amount,
still goes begging. There are still
seven more $500 needed to get Mr..
Henley's pledge. If you are able to
take care of one of these amounts,
