The statement that Samuel T. Kalhfus,
member of the board Of assistant as
SCISSORS of the District. will tender his
resignation as q result Of the investiga-
tion into the conduct Of the assessor 8
ONCE by the House District Committee.

his attorney. Frank J. Hogan, yesterday.
Mr.. Kalbfus said that he had no itten-
tion of resigning,- that his resignation
had not been asked except by inference,
and that any attempt to put him nut Of
his ONCE would be fought to the last
ditch. The charge made was that Mr.
Kalbfus had speculated in real estate.
The statement issued by Mr.. Hogan In
reference to this report was equally
strong. He said that Mr.. Kalbfus had
been guilty of nothing that would call
for his removal and that II the reported
attempt were made 1t would be contested.

PRISON REVOLVING
Low Vices at Sing Sing Worse
Since Uprising.
CLANCYS TROUBLES MULTIPLY
Warden counsels with Rebel Prison
ers Instead OF His Chief Officers I'm
der Him-Grave Apprehension Felt
for Time When $50 Men Are Re
leased from Their Cells.


What Will happen when Warden
Clancy let's out OF their cells the $50
men who have been imprisoned for
five days and nights? That was TN
question everybody IN Ossining was
putting For the village knows that
unless you deliberately weaken men
in long confinement by a diet OF bread
and water-six slices OF bread and
ell Of water q day Is the Sing Sing
formula the longer locked up the
uglier they get.
The men got no freedom all day and
their rations which have been stead
fly lessening came down 10 the cool
er" diet-bread and water.
A gill OF water and six slices OF
bread representing three meals a day
is the fare for them after being locked
up from four to five days straight. II
is figured that when they are finally
released the spirit OF revolt will be
all gone out OF them.
The condition OF the imprisoned
men IS pitiable Friday morning found
many OF them in a state of semi-col
lapse after the fearful yelling OF the
night before. ON men doubled up IN
cells. the five day confinement has
been particularly cruel. immortality
has been thriving since the rebellion
began. One OF the prison doctors
said that certain vices have never had
such headwsS as at present.
Warden Clancy has fallen out with q
chief officer under him and in almost
every case has taken the counsel oil
the convict. even OF rebels, against
the word OF this officer. who is sup
posed to be his adviser. This has
greatly delighted certain men in the
prison who have been active in 70
menting rebellion.
Popular opinion in Ossining credits
an official IN the prison an enemy OF
Sulzer, and. secretly, OF Warden Clan
cy. with being the director OF the con
yicts revolt This man Is a friend OF
ex-Warden Kennedy, who was indict
ed and removed. However. this may
be, the conyicts themselves are ter
ribiy in earnest In their revolt. They
say they are putting up their fight
against a jail that Is making then
worse men. As one OF the fellows
freed recently said
"If the people of the whole state
could see what they are doing 70 the
poor guys in there. they would under
stand the trouble I've wished to God
they would take me ont and shoot me
Not many OF the fellows would care
about getting out II they could gel
the outside world TO look in"
