Revolutionary changes in the meth
DDS Of treating prisoners inaugurated
at the Federal penitentiary are attract
ing widespread attention today They
have been introduced to make the big
prison a great reform institution in
stead of a vast grave for blighted lives.
Warden w IL. Meyer and Deputy
Warden w. c. HaYk, men whose SYM
pathy with the 900 prisoners has ex-
tended far beyond the official capacity,
nave been quietly working on prison
reform and following are some of the
things that are seen in vogue today
that were undreamed of a few years
ago:
Abandonment of the practice OF shaw
ing heads of prisoners. giving the "si-
lence" at table, and the face to- the
WALL treatment on the arrival Of vsi-
tors; abolition OF stripes (after the
present supply OF suits is exhausted)
and the humiliatng lock step" In
PRODUCTION Of baseball and other games
for full holiday Saturday, setting up
exercises Saturday mornings and an
hour of exercise each day: smoking
privilege extended and q newspaper
started; bathing twice n week instead
of once; separation of the races at
meals; great improvement in the tuber-
culosis camp and more attention to the
sick in general more Rmusements for
the prisoners such as dramatic per-
formances by travelling talent, greater
announcement of invention. art, music
and other handiwork of the prisoners.
New Clothing Provided
These are but a few OF the things
that the governments colony enjoy at
the Federal prison. Everything posi-
Bile is done to make the men forget
their past lives and to turn them out
at the expiration of their sentences re-
formed citizens worthy Of the prtvi-

In fact, the life of the prisoners is so
nearly ideal that he visitor invariably

EGGS PROMISE To

PER DOZEN
Mounting Season Causes Hens
to Stop Laying, Resulting in
Noticeable Shortage.

Unless Atlanta hens start laying more
very soon. the price of eggs promises
to go as high as 90 cents a dozen. where
it was for short time during the past
spring. Fresh country eggs are now
bringing p and % cents wholesale. ac-
cording 70 grade, and 81 to IS cents re-
tail The situation is daily growing
more serious, inasmuch as most hens
are now in the moulting state and are
laying practically no eggs.
Il have so hens and have trouble get
ing one egg from them daily de-
clarcd a local commission merchant
this afternoon, and retail grocer as
serted that he had 100 and averaged
TWO OF three eggs.
Poultry Shortage, Too.
The same short market exists in fresh
poultry Dressed hens are scarce and
tho commission houses are getting IS
20 % cents d pound, and the retail gro
Gers are getting % IL to 20 cents, the
lower price being fot the larger fowls
Geld storage eggs are said to be sell
ing for % to p cents dozen, and 1000
cases to oe stored in the only place of
its kind in Atlanta. the Atlantic Ice
and Coal Corporation cold storage
Plant. There are 800 eggs to case
and The total in the above cases is
therefore 100000 eggs. A dealer de
clared that should these eggs be thrust
suddenly upon the ma .ket the price of
eggs would drop perceptibly, but that
this drop would be only temporary.
Scarcity of f1ens.
PoGltuymen say there is great
shortage of laying hens throughout the
entire country. The wet spring was
very bad 10, the production Of young
chickens Pullets for winter layers are
very scarce. and poultlymen who have
sought to buy them to stock their
plants have had to pay very high prices
for them.
The crop OF old hens retained for fun
thcr egg production has been disap-
pointing. Hens were late in moulting,
and the scraggly feathered flocks have
refused to resume their laying Poul-
trymen are busily engaged in feeding
their hens and pullets ground bone and
other producing nostrums, but
their efforts have met with little sue
cess.
Eggs are selling in some Of the East
ern markets at 50 and go cents a dozen
and egg dealers predict that Eastern
prices will soon go to 10 and so cents.
PouItrymen Losing Money.
That is about the limit expected by
egg producers, as people will refuse to
pay a higher price. Poultrymen declare
they are losing money, even at present
high prices, for it takes now on an
average of ten hens TO produce one egg
a day.
With all kinds of chicken feed selling
at cents to IL cents a pound, to say
nothing OF the trouble of caring for the
focks. the producers say there is little
profit coming their way. \ little later
in The season when the hens have re-
covered from their moult, and the short
crop Of pullets begin laying, the poul-
trymen expect a little better profits.

GAMBLER CLOSES
CLUBS THURSDAY
Acting Mayor Will Issue Order
Despite Resistance of Locker
Organization Members.

With number OF councilmen and
lawyers fighting to delay the closing Of
the four outlawed locker clubs. Acting
Mayor John s Gambler has announced
that he will approve the closing order
of council tomorrow and that the clubs
will be Immediately closed.
The R. NJ Rose Company, a whole
sale whisky house Of Chattanooga, has
filed suit against the Moose club, de-
claring it to be mismanaged, and ask
ing for the appointment of a receiver.
In view OF this, new evidence, it is ex-
pected that the police committee will
recommend that this club be closed also,
for it is one OF a number of clubs the
committee has not yet made a report
on.
All Report Not Followed.
1t has developed that the police COM
mittee did not recommend that all the
clubs be closed which Police Chief
Beavers recommended be closed. Coun-
Gilman Claude Mason, who fought the
committees report, said he thought all
the chiefs recommendations should
have been followed or all should have
been ignored.
Chief Beavers recommended that the
Owls. the T. NJ. A, the METROPOLITAN, the
Theatrical. the Bees. Knights of the
Mystic Ark. the Georgia Athletic and
the Southern clubs be closed. The po-
lice committee recommended and the
council ordered closed only the knights
Of the Mystic Ark, Bees, Southern and
Georgia Athletic clubs. Alderman j. B.
Everett is secretary Of the Metropolt-
tan club.
The attorneys for these clubs ordered
& Gober, Hill &
Wright. and Morris. Mack and Lou Field
are preparing to file suits for in1unc-
tions against the city to prevent. the
closing of the clubs.
More Authority Obtained,
All these clubs now have injunctions
against the city because the council re-
fused 10 grant them permits to open.
The supreme court has been asked TO
ruIe on these injunctions but has not
vet done so. Meanwhile the city has
obtained additional authority from the
legislature, which permits council to
arbitrarily close any locker club. And
with this authority, Acting Mayor Can
der has announced that councils order
he Immediately enforced. City Attorney
>favson has advised that the order be
delayed until the courts decision.
There will be another fight in coun-
ell however If the police committee
recommends the closing Of any more
clubs. Councilman Aldine Chambers in
sists that the committee should make
public the evidence upon which it rec
ommends the closing Of any club, He
is backed by a strong minority In an
effort TO save the clubs. Besides
number Of clubs which have not been
investigated, the police committee has
held ND the applications Of the Press
and Central clubs.
