The Commissioner Declares Hot Wa
ter Would Be More PalatabIe
Than Coffee Served Captives.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Albany, N. Yin a report to Gov.
Sulzer George w. Blake, special com
missioner appointed to investigate
prisons and reformatories. discloses a
mora, n. Y. closely akin TO that re-
vealed In Auburn prison and Sing
Sing. Although the treatment OF the
prisoners is not as cruel and inhuman
as that set forth in the reports on the
other prisons, there still is much room
for improvement at the Dannemora
institution, the commissioner points
out. The industrial department at
Clinton prison has been incompetently
and improperly managed, according to
Blake's report. Regarding this the re-
port reads:
An examination OF the books OF
the industrial department shows that
the industries have been incompetent
ly and improperly managed. There is
no adequate return for the labor of
the men employed; there is sometimes
loss on the products, at the very
best, the profits earned are altogether
out OF proportion to the total value OF
the goods manufactured. There is a
glazing lack OF system and total dis
regard of all methods tending to pro-
duce fair return on the amount of
capital invested and the labor OF the
men. The report of the accountant
covers the various industries and all
OF them show the same deplorable con-
ditions. There are between 600 and
700 men working in the shops"
