Douglass Says Lack of Fire
Escapes Is Only Serious
Fault Found With the
Mines Using Conyicts

The state officials who have been in
,specting the four mines in which con-
viets are confined completed their work
last night and rendered the verdict
that conditions are good.
Tuesday, as has been published. Ban
ner and Flat Top were visited. Yes
terday Belle Ellen and Lucille were in
spected. Concerning each Of the four
the officials spoke very highly.
There is but one serious criticism,
stated Hartwell Douglass. president OF
the convict bureau. (which we have
made, and the officials of the com
panies operating the mines in question
have agreed to remedy the defect With
the exception of Banner. none of the
four mines are equipped with fire es-
capes We have reached the conclu-
sion that fire escapes would prevent a
holocaust in case of accident and have
stated the case to the companies. They
have agreed to equip their properties
with the fire escapes and in a reason
able time none of the four will be
without this safeguard against great
er danger"
Mr.. Douglass spoke very hlghly ol
Belle Ellen and Lucille, inspected yes
terday, and was especially emphatic ir
regard to the water supply at the frs
named. The question of water, as is
known, has been a live one for somt

fine. "Order in court" yelled Officer
Todd, and Bill subsided.
"All the witnesses hold up your
hands and be sworn. Now. E-leena, tell
just what happened as briefly as you
know how"
The witness testified that Minnie Lou
was of a decidedly fussy disposition
and that because she was not invited
to "chitling" reception given by CAL
lie Brown, whose colonial residence ad-
joins that of Minnie Lou, gave vent
to her displeasure by uttering pointed
and personal remarks about Callie and
her guests in a stage whisper that
could be heard half block. Not only
that but at the conclusion of the social
event she threatened to "clar up the
entire party by means of hefty
broom.
During the recital Minnie Lou grew
more and more indignant and inter
rupted the witness time and time again
until Judge Cabaniss threatened to put
her in Jail for contempt If she persist
ed in her unseemly behavior. She cooled
down and after the witnesses had all
given about the same testimony she
entered a positive and indignant de-
nial.
