have completed their sentence. In the
meantime, l have arranged with Coun-
ty Commissioner Hall and Sheriff
Brown to tear out all the mattresses
and bedding used by the prisoners,
and burn them up, which will be done
this afternoon. The prisoners will
then be set to work scrubbing out the
Jail, and new bedding will be served
them. There will be no more cooking
in the cellroom but the meals will be
furnished from the outside sources.
Adequate facilities will be provided, so
that they can keep themselves clean.
There will be no more electric lights
used in the cells, but light will be
furnished from the corridor. This is a
proper precaution to take, because it
it possible to set bedding on fire with
one of these electric lights and some
prisoners did so at Pocatello recent
ly. These arrangements will afford
temporary sanitary improvements,
until the men imprisoned there have
had their trials"

X That there will be something doing
| in the matter of the county court house
and jail, within the next few days,
goes without saying. The only rea-
lson some action was not taken today by
State Sanitary Inspector James H.
Wallis is because of the fact that the
district court opens next Monday and
after a conference with County Attor-
ney Suppiger this morning, Mr.. Wallis
concluded it would be inadvisable to
remove the prisoners now in the jail
and bring them back Sunday night,
as they will have to be in court when
| it convenes on Monday morning. Com
missioner Wallis has prepared a
lengthy report on the conditions found
at the county Jail, which he will serve
or the county commissioners as soon
as they meet next. week. 1t is under
stood that he will. denounce the in
sanitary and unsafe conditions found
both in the Jail and court house in the
strongest kind of language, and call
OH the board to take steps to protect
the lives of those in both Jail and court
house, by submitting to the people of
Latah county the matter of erecting a
modern building which, will not only
afford this protection to those employ
ed and incarcerated there, but also
safeguard the Invaluable records stor-
ed away in every inconceivable shape
there from floor to attic.
Commissioner Wallis said Were
it not for the fact that court is but
few days from convening, | should
certainly ask from The probate Judge
the order provided for in section
8532-3 of the revised statutes, for the
removal of the prisoners now in Jail
to the Jail of some contiguous coun-
ty The Jail is unfit and unsafe for
their confinement, and I have the GER
tificates of your doctors to support my
inspection to this effect. Then again,

at Lewiston is filled to its capacity,
having to care for the business cf the
new counties of Clearwater and Lewis.
1t would be dangerous to take them
to the counties north of us, on account
O fhaving to pass through Spokane.
Another element entering into the
proposition is the fact that there are
several federal prisoners in your jail,
remanded to the custody of the sheriff
until their terms expire. I shall go
to Boise and secure the necessary or

prisoners taken elsewhere until they

Pittman started his testimony in a
brusque laconic manner. Then when
asked regarding the wreck scenes OF
the Titanic his demeanor completely
changed and in a choking voice, beg

Mr. Wallis said he had just condemn

had seen many bad jailS and poor

court house was the worst he had ever
seen. He said it was a disgrace to
the county and the state, and that no
community had right to impose up
on unfortunate men such positively
shocking conditions.
Commissioner Wallis then spoke of
Moscow, saying that there was mani

that Moscow was the university city of
