Bitter Scoring
 Of Methods In
 Vogue Al Tombs

New York, Dec 1s-Bttter criticism of the methods of trea ting prisoners in the Tombs was made by the grand jury in 8 presentment handed down to Justice Golf. today. The disnts- sal of Deputy Commissioners of Char ities w. J. Wright and the retireE~ant on a. pension Of Warden W, J. Fallon were deua nied The jury insisted that the present red tape method whereby friends can see prisoners only during certain hours be abolish ed at once.
 The jury declared that the food eerE- ed guards and prisoners was not fit for use and recommended that whole some food be secured.
 It urged that the hours of duty of attendants be shortened and that they be given more pay.
 The presentment deals caustically. with the favors shown to Charles H. Hyde former city chamberlain; Will liam J. Cum1nins and Joseph Brech- man, of fhe Carnegie Trust Co.,, who were given a suite of rooms and a bath after conviction. This was in contrast the report says. with the treatment accorded men awaiting trial and presumably inooent, who were confined in cells not properly ventilated.
 The prison, the jury found, should methods devised where persons suf- ferinE from disease will be segregated from those who are healthy. The pr1s- on physician is criticised for failure to properly care for prisoners and it Is suggested that his salary be increas- ed from S1, 800 to $2,50o as an incen- tive for better work.
