Chicago, June 5,--The senate investi-
cation committee resumed today its
probe into vice conditions here. About
40 witnesses including the heads of
Chicago's S largest banks and depart
ment stores, and economists will testi-
fly.
The witnesses will be asked regarding
wages paid male employees and whether
the low wages of men are contributing
factors to the ruin Of young girls. They
also will be asked whether married men
average better wages than single men,
and whether the wages paid married
men are sufficient to support family
without compelling the children to
leave school and 60 to work.
It is expected that the committee will
recommend a minimum wage law as q

M. Reynolds, president of the CONNER
clal and Continental National bank, the
Hibernian and other banks testified
that the wages Of men in the banking
business averaged 5000 year. He said:
"We have never investigated what II
costs man to support himself and
wife and o child. In my opinion, IL
would work, q wrong to merit to fix a
minimum wage for men, It would put
all labor on par believe merit

GUARD ACCUSED OF AN
ASSAULT ON CONVICT

A complaint charging f. II. Snodgrass
with assault and battery on the person
Of Sam Davis, a convict, was filed in
the justice of the peace court this morn.
ing, L, II, McMahan appearing as the
private prosecutor,
1t is alleged in the complaint that
Snodgrass assaulted Davis on the
streets Of this city ON May 10 this year
This action is the ultimatum of sen.
sation which occurred last May when
Davis, who was paroled prisoner, was
chased and caught in the vicinity Of the
feed sheds on West Center street. As.
sisted by Officer Woolery, snodgrass
and another guard at the prison, cap.
tured Davis and returned him TO prison
for breaking his parole. While Snod.
grass and the other guard were holding
the prisoner on the corner Of State and
Center streets until Officer Woolery en-.
gagged an auto, the prisoner mumbled a
few words and Snodgrass struck him
two times. Davis was securely hand.
cuffod and when the guard struck him
the first time, blood streamed out of his
nose. In explaining wny no struck the
prisoner, snodgrass stated at tho time
that Davis was calling him vile names.
West Would Not Act.
81 waited until this time before
bringing this action with the hopes that
Governor West would either discharge
or prosecute Snodgrass for this vicious
and uncaled for abuse Of the prison.
er" stated McMahan today, "but he
has refused to act either way"
Attorney McMahan, several years
ago, was a leading factor in instigating
an investigation at the prison wherein
several convicts had been whipped and
flogged. He also acted in behalf Of a
prisoner who was shot IN the foot by a
local officer and succeeded in obtaining
a nominal damage Judge Kelly, who

GOVERNOR EXPLAINS
BLODGETT PAYMENT
Says Prisoner Recently Par
doned Received Amount
as Prize Money.
DENOUNCES PRESS NEWS
Impression That He Was Employed at
Salary of S1OO Per Month En-
roneous and Unfair.
DENoUNcEs PRESS NEWS

In the matter of george Blodgett, re-
Gently pardoned, Governor West this
morning issued the following statement
regarding the assertion that Blodgett
has been in the employ of the state
since his release from the penitentiary;
"The statement that George Blodgett
recently released from the prison, has
since been employed by the state at a
fixed salary of 500 per month and of,
fered permanent employment, is abso-
lutely without foundation. For the last
year and half Blodgett has been in
charge of the prison chicken yard and
in order that he might be induced to
take more than an ordinary interest in
his work, he was promised by the off
cials that he would be rewarded with
prize money to the extent of 25 cents 4
day or about $3.50 a month. Under
this arrangement he had about 800
coming to him when his conditional par
don was issued, but as there were no
funds available for the payment of
prize money for service around the
chicken yard, it was decided after his
release to put him upon the payroll for
short time and pay him as salary an
amount which was equal to what was
due for prize money, i. e., $780, In eff
feet BlOdgett worked during the month
Of May without pay, as the $lOO paid
him was prize money earned during the
preceding IA months.
"Blodgett rendered most valuable
service while in charge of the chicken
yard, and while he was never offered
permanent employment as reported by
the press, we would have been glad to
have had him stay another month as he
was turning out large number of
young chickens and was in close touch
with the work.
"Some of the press reports as to this
transaction are most unfair and mis-.
leading and give out the impression
that this man was being employed at a
salary of 800 per mouth, and that he
was offered permanent employment. We
have no need for a salaried man in this
position and if we did would not be jus.
titled in paying the said salary"
