Severely Criticized by

Condition and That discipline Has

| Fort Madison. Jan. 1S.-Dr George
P. Neal, of this city, is making thru
the newspapers of the eastern end OF
Iowa, vigorous attack on Warden
Sanders, of the state prison. Sander:
he accuses Of incompetency, and he de-
clares that the warden's effort to place
the convicts on their honor has resulted
in the entire disappearance of disci-
pline. Fights between convicts are
alleged to be Of frequent occurrence
the guards are utterly powerless to en-
force discipline. as they are unarmed
and Neal declares that the prisoners
are permitted to carry knives and other
weapons.
DR.. Neal insists on thorough inves-
tigation on the part of the legislature
and the state board of control Is ac-
cused OF shutting it's eyes to existing
conditions. Whether or not politics is
behind the attack has not yet been re-
vealed. In a statement issued by Neal
he says:
"The guards have ceased to make
any reports of misconduct, for the rea-
son that 1t only results in the dis
charge of the guard, or a reprin1and
to the officer by the warden The
manual labor performed by the con-
victs has been reduced to minimum
till 1t hardly reaches necessary exer-
oil Inv ho ha ,cfo ~
rest, innovations for the enjoyment of
the convicts, etc. is taken out of the
hours of labor, they get so little exer-
else that the warden finds it desirable
to leave the cell doors open at night
in order that the pets of the prison can
recreate sufficiently to digest the high
ly nutritious food which is supplied t.
them in such generous quantities.
Every convict can carry knife
guards are compelled to go unarmed.
The life of a guard is in constant peril;
shouldSa convict kill guard, Warden
j. c. Sanders and this model board OF
control would in all probability repri-
mand the convict and deprive him of
his music lessons for a week or fort
night. or take away his butter and
white shirt.

rising of the convicts?" The guard
told him it was a game of base ball.
The farmer remarked. well. this, is
one hell of a penitentiary," and passed
on. The warden upon hearing Of the
incident took it for text for the
chapel exercise: the warden always
makes it a point to tell the convicts
that they are just as good as those on
the outside; he stuck that farmer full
of pinholes in his happy" remarks

by the warden-in the presence of con-
victs he made the statement: "These
men are just like you and I. OF course,
there are few bad men in here. but
the most of them are just as we are,
we do all things that would give us a
year or so If it got out on u.s." The
visitors looked upon this as confess
