TAFT FOR MARYLAND NEGRO
Says Democratic Plan For Educational
Test Is Gross Injustice.

Baltimore. Md, Sept. 16.-President
Taft has addressed an open letter to
the Baltimore News, In which he ex-
presses his disapproval of the pro-
posed amendment to the Maryland con
stitution, the effect of wE'ch is to dis
franchise the negroes. The president
says:
Beverly. Mass, Sept. IA. 1909
Editor Baltimore News: | have your
letter concerning the franchise amend
ment which it Is proposed by the Dem
ocratic party in Maryland to adopt. |
have already, in another letter, ex-
pressed my opinion in regard to Its
vicious character. II is deliberately
drawn to impose educational and other
qualifications for the suffrage upon ne
groes and to exempt everybody else
from such qualifications, This is gross
injustice and is a violation OF the
spirit of the fifteenth amendment. II
ought to be voted down by every one,
whether Democrat or Republican, who
is in favor of a square deal. Sincerely
yours, WILLIAM II. TAFT"

u. S. EXPOSES
PRISON SCANDAL
Shocking Conditions Exist In
Allegheny Penitentiary.
TO REMOVE FEDERAL COHVICTS

The Prison 10 Filled With vermin Of
All Kinds and O~vercrowdsd With
Prisoners-ovsr 300 Are Suffering
From Tuberculosis.
Washington, Sept. 16. - Conditions
at the western panItentiary OF Penn
s~ylvania at Allegheny have been found
so distressing and intolsrable as to re
quirs the immediate removal of all
federal prisoners whose transfer is
practicable, and to demand the most
serious consideration of the proper
public authorities. This Is disclosed in
the report Of G. H. McGlasson, of the
department of prisons and prisoners, to
the attorney general.
AT the direction of the attorney gen
eral, Wade Ellis, acting head of the
department Of justice, made known the
results of the investigation which Mr..
McGlasson conducted, following the re
ports published by the newspapers sew
eral weeks ago, criticising the condi-
tons at the ~penitentiary. The federal
authorities are guarded in their state
feet ON the state officials of Pennsyl-
vania or any others who may be re-
sponsible for the conditions at the In
stitution.
Conditions Are Shocking.
1.-THE population on tie first of this
-oAyAI xvro. 4 on , aau1 IL. Mill Is, hfo
statement. "Of this number more than
half are at all times idle. and more
than half are confined two in a cell.
The cells are unusually small, and the
cots take up almost the entire length
of each, the roo for moving about be
ing a space eight feet long and eighteen
inches wide. There are more than 300
prisoners suffering from tuberculosis,
and seventy-nine cells are now occu.
pied by those showing advanced stages
of this disease. The prison Is filled
with vermin of all kinds. although the
officials are making LII effort to eradi-
cate them. An unusually large number
of the prisoners are of the lowest pos
sible character, mentally and morally,
and there is but one general mess pro
vided for all. Almost universal com
plant is made about the quality OF
food served, especially the meats"
On one occasion the prisoners at the
institution are reported to have arisen
in a body and hurled their food, plates
and other articles at one OF the in
%spectors of the prison, and to have
called upon him to witness the quality
of the food. Because of the number
involved in this outbreak, punishment
seems impossible, it is said.
There are twentyone federal prison
ers confined at the western peniten.
tiary of Pennsylvania. All OF these
who can be Immediately transferred,
except those whose terms will shortly
expire. will be removed at once to At
lanta or Leavenworth.
