DR. OATES RETURNS
 FROM INSPECTION
Says Huntsville Prison Is Worst in The State and Breeds
 Tuberculosis

Montgomery, September 1.-fSpecial) pr William H. Oates. state prison in- spector. has returned from an inspec- tion trip to north Alabama. where he visited a number of county iails. In referring to his trip, Dr. Oats spoke particularly of the Jail at Huntsville. in Madison county. claiming that that bastile is more sanitary and moro unfit for habitation than any jail which he has yet inspected in the state.
 Dr. oates declared that this prison is probably a hot bed for tuberculosis, stating that the slimy condition of the floors. the absolute lack of cleanliness, and the general lack of ventilation, ara such as to be conducive to that dis ease.
 Dr. Oates has ordered Sheriff F. q. Herrford of Madison county to remove all prisoners from the jail at, Hunts vile to the Marshall county jail at Guntersvilie until the Madison jail has been thoroughly renovated and made q more suitable habitation for prisoners.
 Dr. Oates while on his trip inspected also the Bessemer city prison, and the jails or Fayette, Cunman, Jefferson, Morgan, Limestone and other counties.

WHITE MANS HOPE FOUND IN ENSLEY Giant Swede Breaks Up the
 Patrol Wagon TO INSPECT HOMES Civic Committee Will Probably Award Prizes For Best Kept Homes
 in Ensley Today-Other
 Ensley News

Ensley may soon become famous A white mans hope has been discovered and by the police, at that. The dis covery was made when they went to arrest Gus Dorear, husky, hefty Swede.
 Captain Donlan and Officer White were sent out on call to arrest this man for keeping a disorderly house The men went to the house and got him. He was placed inside of the patrol wagon and started to the jail
 | may be interesting to learn in con- nection with this story that the patrol the inside there is a thick layer and then on the outside is another with an open space between them. When she Swede was placed inside he immedi- ately began to tear the wagon to pieces. The officers said that they could see the massive top sway and that they could hear the wood crash, but did not know the meaning of it until they ar rived at Bodekers sub boarding house
 When the man was taken out of the wagon it was found that a hole had been torn in the inside of the wagon several feet square. Footprints were plainly seen in the top of the patrol and when asked how it could happen q reply "Ay baan do it," explained all. He was trying to get out.
 When he was escorted inside of the palace he was locked in a corridor. He immediately tried to batter down the ton steel door. He made a noble attempt but before he could com pletely batter it down he was placed in a cell. It is said that he had nearly torn the hinges off the door and would have no doubt accomplished his mission but for the interference of the police.
 When he was placed inside the cell an iron stove was near by and then he attempted to take out his spite on the city and tore the stove to pieces. The police then placed him in another steel cage and now he's trying to tear that to pieces. He has not succeeded.
 When the prisoner is brought before the court today he will have to answ sr to three different charges: disorderly house, drunk and maliclousy destroy ing the property of the city In addi- ton to the fines he will have to pay the costs of the stove, s25 BIO for tearing the patrol up. and some damage for battering on the steel door.
 In this discovery the police think they have the whites man hope,' or the one to wrest the championship from Jack Johnson. They state that he has the greatest strength of any white man they have ever seen and if he were properly trained he could out ,vrestle Gotch out battle Johnson and batter down the Pratt City jail. However, he will probably be in the employ of the city for some time. The case will be tried this morning.
