Wants 4 New Prison ..'
Assemblyman George Bergman Of
Lincoln county, who is the chairman of
the committee of state prison and insane
asylum was interviewed in regard to the
action he will advise in regard to the
state prison and refrom school. He
said in part: - = '.-.'
The matter is one with which I am
taken heart and soul and shall try in
every way to have it before the mem
bers of the assembly in way that will
be carried out. As, the prison now
stands something will have to be done
at once as the place; is far too small for
the numbers of people who are there,
and it is also in a condition that makes
1t absolutely unsafe to the people of the
Ecity of Carson and the state ut large.
81 have visited the state asylum. at
Reno and found that the place was in q
Egood condition and . furthermore that
Ethe place is partially supporting owing
to the fact that it IL located where it is
Possible to do little farming, to keep
Epigs, COWS, and chickens and in this
means aid in keeping down expenses.
Nov there is no reason why this
could not also be done at the state prison
and all that is needed is piece of
ground that would allow this and the
same could be easily secured in this
section. Our committee will go out to
the Stewart Institute tomorrow and will
look over that place and from what
have already learned believe that it
would be an ideal place for the location
of the prison. We do not wish to move
the prison away from Carson for with
out doubt this is the best place in the
state for it.
1.-The present prison appears to one
visiting it as only an old pile of adobe
shacks and is surely not fit prison for
a state of this kind and am in favor of
building an entire new prison and not
wasting any more money remodeling
the old one.
1.-THE main question that the mem
bers of the assembly should consider
at this time is the fact that it is COM
pulsofy to appropriate large amount
OF money at this time for the improve
ments that are absolutely necessary and
when these are made, the prison will be
far from satisfactory. At this time it
costs the state $1.03 per day to care for
each prisoner there and if the prison
was located on "a suitable piece of
ground this price should be reduced at
least 80 per cent there are large num-
Der of prisoners that would be able to
do all the work necessary on farm,
and would also be occupied at all times.
1t is true that the expense would be a
little larger at the start but it would be
for oil time and would be large saving
in the long run

According to the Carson Appeal, the
anti-gambling bill is stirring up the
assembly. The Appeal says that before
putting the question on Dodge's motion
to postpone the consideration of the bill
until Wednesday, Speaker Giffen said:
Within the last twenty-four hours,
hare received information that
seriously affects this legislature and if
the bill is not taken up this afternoon,
the reputation Of certain members of
this assembly will. be seriously in
| yolvedss,! - = e
:Thsquestion was then put and the
speaker declared it carried. The
Appeal says that the speakers remarks
caused the members to sit up and take
H9sice: J: After the session, the speaker
refused to tell the Appeal what he
meant by his remarks.
/ Speaker Giffen was interviewed by
the News III regard to the statement
attributed to him by the Appeal and
Said: SiIl''"GR ~ Y.--:u, go:
l4{'15 did not make the remarks attri-
buteHt to me in the Appeal of last eve
nipg. nor did / have the idea in mind
that the Appeal is trying to attribute to
me.
Il do not fully remember just what
I didtsay but the purport was that I had
beer told by several people shat delay
might cause suspicion to be attached to
some Of the legislators.
my sole reason for making the re-
marks that did was that I had been
approached by men not members of the
Legislature. who had limited to me that
certain parties were playing for time on
the billand I wished to warn the mem
ibers that by not acting on the bill as
soon as possible, it would allow suspi-
cion to arise that some action was being
taken that was not wholly above board
and might allow of false impressions of
the movement to gain circulation.
II believe that as speaker of the
house, it is my bounden duty to warn
the members Of anything. that might
come to my notice bearing upon the
welfare of the body.
"a do not mean to say nor do I believe
that so far any member has been paid
in any way to vote upon this question
and only wished to warn them SO they
could avoid any pitfalls that may be
laid for them Z
The News says the sack" is openly
talked of in Carson, but no charges are
openly made that any certain party has
been contaminated by the lucre, but it
is sill thought that an attempt will be
made to introduce king Mammon"
into the fight before the battle is over.
While there is considerable difference
between what the Appeal says the
speaker said and what the speaker SAYS
he said, it is evident that something has
occurred to arouse the speakers sus-
spicion. Somebody is evidently stray.
ing from the narrow path.
