\ When the Police Commissioners

! connection with the fan review OF the
force. il is expected that their at.
| tention will be called to the inadequate
cell-room space provided for the care
of prisoners. Several times the Police
Board has made requests Of the City
Council! for an appropriation to make
much needed improvements at this sta
ton. for as the city's population IN
creases the number of arrests grows
accordingly.
At this station there are but six
cells not including the dungeon,
which is rarely used. and it is no un-
usual sight to find thirty, forty or
fifty prisoners confined in this small
space at one time. This is especially
true on Saturday night and Sunday.
|. when many minor arrests are made.
Occasionally the cells will each be
occupied by ten or twelve prisoners
There is but one bunk in each. SO IT
is obvious that the unfortunates must
seek seating and sleeping room upon
the floor and upon one another.
No Drinking Water.
No drinking water Is provided in the
cells for the inmates. as at the First
Station. and the sanitary arrangement
is not regarded as good. while light
ing facilities are also poor.
There is ample space In the cell
room to install more cages upon the
floor, and with the addition of second
tier ample quarters for all Offenders
would be provided. The commissioners
have had this in view for some time,
and have been anxious to make these
changes. yIt have Seen unable TO
do so because of failure of the Coun-
Gil to provide the money.
One Of the most deplorable facts
OF the lack Of room is that occa-
sionally it is necessary to detain per-
sons for minor offenses whose walk IN
life is far above the station Of the
usual occupant of a station house CELL
The majority of them are habltual
drunkards, Migrants, panhandlers ana
the scum Of the lower world. But with
the lack of space it is necessary to
confine the two classes in the same
cell.
Werner Wants improvements.
Chief Of Police Werner Is hearty
advocate for these much-needed I'M
provements, and has frequently
brought the matter to the attention
of the commissioners. but they are

will make an appropriation.
Conditions at the First Statloh are

GRAY'S DEATH DUE
TO Loss OF BLOOD
Grand Jury Finds He Died From
Wounds Inflicted While On
Merry-Go' Round.

After a thorough and critical an
auiry into the death Of Rufus Gray
who severed an artery on merry
go..round at the State Fair GROUNDS
on the last night OF the Exposition.
the Hastings Court grand jury yes
terday arrived at the conclusion thas
he died from the loss Of blood and
not from the effects OF ether admin
istered by physicians after he had
been removed to the Memorial Hos.
pitaL
Harry Lane. OF Ashland. . friend OF
Mr.. Gray. brought the matter TO the
attention OF Commemorative Attof.
ney Folkes and he was sent before
the jury. with the results that tho
attending physicians were sxonerated
OF any blame ana praised for their
efforts to save the life Of a man by
an emergency operation. It was con.
clusively shown that Mr.. Gray was
weakened by the loss Of blood while
making the trip to the hospits:. and
that was the direct and only Cause OF
his death.
While the Jury was confident that
Mr.. Lane was in earnest In his thought
that his friend died from the anss-
thetic. they decided that he was q
layman and not In Q position to judge
the acts Of physicians in an operating
room.
1t was the unanimous vote OF the
jury that Mr.. Gray bleA to death. and
that there was no evidence to show
there was any carelessness or neglect
In taking every precaution to save
his life. The case was therefore
thrown out
