607O VOTES
FOR BOND
ELECTION
ABOUT ONE-THIRp OF TOTAL
VOTERS REGISTER.

Less than onethird of the voters
in Spokane seem to be interested
in the park bond election. When
the books closed last night 6O7O
names had been enrolled.
1t is estimated at the office of
the city clerk that there are more
than 10000 persons in the city
who are entitled to vote.
A cursory glance through the
books, however, indicates that the
majority of those who did regis
ter are property owners in the city,
and as they are the ones who are
mostly deeply interested in the pro-
posed bond issue the showing is
not unsatisfactory.
Yesterday was a busy day for
the clerks in charge of the regis
tration books and from the time
the office opened in the morning
until it closed last night there was
always line of voters awaiting
their turn.

MRS, STALF0RD AND PRESS
REPORTER VISIT THE
CITY JAIL

This 10 q truthful picture Of city
Jail conditions in Spokane, as seen
by Mrs. p. p. Stafford, head of the
police matron committee of the
Woman's club, and a reporter for
The Press. The visit was made one
day last week, while the alleged
police investigation by Mayor
Pratt's partisan committee was in
progress. In view Of the impending
whitewash, it was deemed advisable
to call at the Jail and see how
things really were at that time, the
supposition being that conditions
would to great extent be anchor
ated because Of the police being I'M
der fire.
Chief Of Police Sullivan was alb
sent when Mrs. Stafford and the re-
porter called and application was
made to Captain Weir at the desk
for permission to enter. One of the
women In the jail had previously
sent word to Mrs. Stafford through
a reporter that she wanted to see
her, and in response to this request
the application for admission was
made. The officers at the desk
granted the request and Jailer Mel
son unlocked the doors to the
prison.
The lower cells were first in
spected, showing the exposed bath
tub for the women bare of all priv
acy. There was one woman in the
lower cell, who complained of her
treatment, and said that she had be-
come covered with vermin. and that
the place was generally horrible, y
to use her own words.
Then the inspection was directed
to the second floor, where four
women were confined. One woman
washed blankets during the morn
ing until she had made herself i'll
and was lying on the inside cot, I'M
able to get up. She had washed the
blankets to prevent getting body
lice, that the women said infested
the place.
One of the women complained of
being i'll, and looked really sick. She
said that she had called for atten-
ton from the city physician when
he passed through the Jail, but II at
his reply was, "Ah. get out; you're
all right" This woman was under
doctors care when arrested.
The girls complained Of the food,
and one plate, containing the mid
day meal, served for the sick
woman, but left untouched by her,
was exhibited. This dinner" CON
sisted of a piece of sole leather
beefsteak, fried SO hard and dry
that laborer in construction gang
could not digest it, There were two
potatoes, that had a sun burned,
Weatherbeaten appearance, as if
they might have done service on
some former occasions. This, with
two pieces of bread, composed the
menu" for which the taxpayers of
Spokane had paid Is cents. Its du-
plicate could be turned out in any
cheap restaurant for six or eight
cents.
The odor about the place was
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-04-23

such that it clung to the nostrils OF
the visitors for two days after. A
wall that does not go to the roof
separates the womens from the
mems departments, and swearing or
foul language on the mems side can
be heard in the women's depart
ment. With all sorts of noises and
foul smells, vermin and dirty blan-
kets, bad beds and worse food, the
women's rooms in the city jail were
certainly a most distressing sight
Wait until we get out of here
said one of the girls to Mrs. Stall
ford. I'VE will tell things that will
make the good people of this town
open their eyes" This assurance
was given by three of the women.
The women complained of being
hungry and Mrs. Stafford went to a
nearby restaurant and procured a
supply Of good food and fruit. The
women spread a table with an imi-
tation of a table cloth and for once
in the history of the Spokane city
jail there was JOY in that dark in
stitution.
In a letter afterward received by
Mrs. Stafford from one of the
women she said that Chief Sullivan
was terribly angry with me when
he learned that had sent for you"
