The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-11-08

Chicago is the excursion boat. On
Saturdays and Sundays particularly,
men, women and children flock to the
boats for relief from the sitting heat
of the city.
They are packed into these boats
as fast as they come.
Every person the ship trust can
jam on board means another piece Of
coin. Then they are taken out on
the lake, trusting entirely on luck.
Unless these conditions are
stopped Chicago will face a crushing
holocaust, a tragedy that will cause
the entire world to bow it's head.
And all that the owners of these
boats might get Bigger dividends.
The Senate has already passed La
Follette's seamen's bill. and it is now
up to the House of Representatives.
They can, make or break this most
human bill
The House, however, hasn't as yet
shown any burning desire to tackle
this bill. -.

Deck crews OF freight vessels on
the Great Lakes are composed OF
from to 10 men, exclusive OF u
censed officers. Thus 40 per cent
able seamen means an increase OF
from 2 to such men on each vessel
When the maximum Of 65 per cent is
reached in the fifth year the number
of able seamen will be 8 to for each
vessel, without any increase in the
total number of men. The effect Will
be that there will be at least two men
of the rating of able seamen or
higher for each lifeboat.
CAS- to lifeboats. freight vessels on
the Great Lakes, without exception
are now required by law and the U.
S. Steamboat Inspection Service to
carry sufficient ifeboats to accom-
modate every person on board. There
is no exception to this. If they leave
port they must have lifeboats sutt1-.
cient to carry all hands. 1t is only
passenger vessels that are permitted
to go out without lifeboats for all on
board.
Nothing in Mr.. Goodrich's state
ment, therefore, can apply to freight
vessels, either as to men or boats.
Now as to passenger steamers.
They operate over the same waters,
under the same conditions, as do
freight vessels. Why should, there
not be at least the same safeguards
for human life on board? l have
never heard even shipOWnerS argue
that freight vessels on the Great
Lakes ought not carry lifeboats (real
boats, at that, not rafts) sufficient for
all, no matter how short the trip.
This includes even the small sand
boats that go but short distance
from harbor.

Bankers Say High Price Of Fine
Staple Is Responsible for
Money Influx.

Conservative bankers declared
Thursday that bank deposits at pres
ent in Atlanta break all records. They
estimated that the days deposits ex-
ceeded all previous records by more
than 5000, 900.
With the movement OF cotton well
under way, indications are that even
these figures will be beaten before
the end of the week. To-day's rec
ord is the second that has been set
this week.
Last Monday bank clearings reach
ed the highest mark in the city's his
tory for one day.
The unprecedented deposits Is
taken by the bankers as an indica-
ton of the wave Of prosperity sweep
ing Georgia on the heels Of a good
cotton crop. The staple is OF bet
ter quality than ans crop in recent
years, and better prices are being
paid the farmer, putting more money
in circulation as the movement of the
crop is carried on.
The bank clearings of Atlanta
financial institutions have been set
ting new marks in the last few weeks.
On Monday the clearings reached a
high water mark Of s4,270,000, a gain
Of more than 100000 over the clear
ings of Saturday, which were $4.0S1, :
600 and record up to that time.
Haynes McFsdden, an authority on
bank statistics, declared Thursday
that 100000 above the record in
bank deposits was not an exaggerated
estimate.
Georgia's banner cotton crop is
bringing a record price and is moving
so rapidly that refrigerator cars are
actually being pressed into service for
the handling of It.
From all over Georgia came glow
ing reports. In the belief that cotton
is going to soar upward to q much
higher price. many of the country
merchants and farmers are holding to
their cotton.
This augurs well for financial con-
ditions, in the opinion Of many bank
ers, as 1t means a continual and
heavy flow Of money into Georgia for
months to come.

thought he had been killed and placed
by the track to hide the crime.
This caused the Coroner's jury to
prolong the investigation for several
days. A verdict that Steele was killed
by a train was finally returned be-
cause of inability to find any evil
dence pointing to anyone as his slayer.
One Grand Jury investigated the
death, but took no action. The affair
was then forgotten until the present
Grand Jury, besieged by rumors that
Steele was murdered, reopened the in
vestigation and got enough evidence
to warrant the indictment of Fisher.

A long debate also arose over
the contention of the defense
that the judge erred in letting
in the testimony of Harlee
Branch, a newspaper man, who
made an estimate of the time
that it required Jim Conley to
re-enact in the factory the part
he asserted he had in the Phagan
tragedy.
The objection to this testimony was
on the ground that it was a pure con-
clusion; that it was impossible to-
take a witness to the factory and
have him indicate accurately how
long 1t required for him to do one
thing or another; that Branch did not
pretend to have timed the perform
ance, and that his testimony would
not have been admissible even IL he
had; that Conleys performance at the
factory was not the same as he de-
scribed It on the stand at the trial;
that the negro described it entirely
differently on the stand, at least. diff
ferently in many particulars; that It
could not help the jury for Conley to
illustrate his last affidavit when hs
said on the stand that much of it was
lie and didn't happen at all, and
that this evidence was of another
transaction and not binding on the
defendant. The reason was approved
by Judge Roam.
Attorneys Rosser and Arnold main
tanned that Pickett's testimony should
be allowed to stand as a reason to be
argued for a new trial, in that 1t was
palpably immaterial evidence en-
ployed to impeach the testimony Of
the Mcknight woman. This ground
was approved after slight revision by
Judge Roam.

CHARGES
Congressman Asserts Truth of
Accusations Against U: S.
Warden Must Come Out.

Declaring that should the Depart
ment of Justice refuse to act on the
charges of unfit conditions at the Fed
eral prison, made by Julian Haw-
| thorne and others, he would carry the
matter into the National Congress,
in a statement Thursday reiterated
his intention to force a full investi-
cation.
Mr.. Howard stated that he would
upon his return to Washington ask
ing the appointment Of a Congress
sional committee to carry on this in
yestigation He avowed that this was
demanded in justification to humani-
ty, if the charges proved true, and
for the exoneration of Warden Moy-
er, il the accusations are untrue.
Senator Hoke Smith, who made a
tour of inspection of the prison We'd
nesday, refused to make a statement
Thursday He stated that he had
formed no opinion so far which ne
would make public on the sensational
allegations, and would not say what
his action would be when he returned
to Washington.
Mr.. Towards statement follows:
Charges Serious.
Reputable people have made
charges as to the conduct of the Fed
eral prison. These charges In thels
character are serious. Maltreatment
of the prisoners is ALLEGED In that
they are not sufficiently fed and that
their physical condition Is being i'm
paired by the lack of nutritious 1000
and proper medical attention.
1.-THE Department Of Justice,
through the press, has stated that
these are statements made by per-
sons who have no knowledge of the
conditions at the prison-that they
are false in their entirety.
Fully realizing that incarceration
of those who violate the law is abb
solutely necessary for the safety OF
society and the detriment of crime,
and that those who fall into the tolls
of the law should not have furnished
them the comforts of life while serv-
ing their sentences, and that punish
ment in some form or other Is nee
essary for the maintenance of dis
cipline in this prison, have RETAINED
from giving to the public who are
interested from a standpoint of hu-
mainly in these prisoners my views
of the present conditions.
Congress Entitled to Truth.
Congress is entitled to the whole
truth about the administration of af-
fairs in this institution. If the De-
partment of Justice does not make q
| full, free and impartial investigation
| shall introduce a resolution upon
my return to Washington, asking for
| the appointment Of a Congressional
| committee to visit this prison and as
| certain the whole truth. II these men
are underfed Congress should know
| local press are untrue, the public
should know it in justice to the war
! den and other officials In charge.
IF conditions are brought about by
insufficient appropriations for sub
| sistence the sooner 1t is known the
| better it will be for the men confined
If discipline is lacking the cause for
| it's existence should be determined
| and sDeedily corrected IL the most
drastic methods have to be resorted
| to.
80 far as / am concerned, this is
all have to say until ! speak with

brought to a most successful compile
ton on the alleys at the Young Mems
Christian association yesterday noon.
The teams taking part in this final
contest were the league leading grass
hoppers and crickets, better known as
the low landers." After the first game
which the crickets won, it looked as
though the leaders would drop two
games and by doing that tie with the
beetles for first place. This did not
happen, however, because with each
g~rasshopper bowling an average of $50
they won the next game by a total of
125 pins to spare. This gave them, the
championship and left no room for
h beetles to work into first place.
The league has proven so; popular
with the men that another league is
being organized. The games will be
bowled on the same days as they were
in the Midday league and the. same
rules will govern the contests. This
league should be extremely close be-
