Lying in the snow, frozen stiff,
Jesse Haley, young man living on
the Bridgeport road, was discovered
about I o'clock this morning on
South Chestnut street by a passing
pedestrian. The matter ives re-
ported to police headquarters and he
was taken there and medical atten-
ton called. Upon medical exami-
nation, it was found that the man
was in bad condition and he was re-
moved to the Kessler hospital, where
he lies this afternoon in an uncon-
scious condition.
AS yet the doctors are unable
to make any authentic report on his
condition as he is not yet out from
under the influence of intoxicants,
and what his condition will be when
he becomes sober is proDlematical.
1t is reported that hls feet are badly
frosted.
How long he had lain in the
snow, no one knows. but it is
thought that he had been there for
several hours as his clothes as we'll

ton, following the report Of the
pedestrian, who discovered him. He
was unable to speak and it was seen
that he was in a serious condition

CONVICT LABOR
On the Public Roads is Adopted
by Thirteen States in a
SINGLE Year.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Nov. III
Thirteen states have passed laws
during the present year allowing the
use OF convicts in the construction
and repair of highways, according to
a compilation by DR.. z. Stage

in Columibit University and chair
man of the committee on prison la
Dor. They are Arkansas, Delaware,
Florida, illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Maine, New Jersey, North Dakota,
Pennsylvania. Vermont, West Vir-
gina and Wisconsin. AS many other
states had previously passed similar
legislation, but few of the forty-eight
states not seeing the wisdom OF using
prisoners to build and maintain pub
lie roads.
West Virginia and Iowa are the
two states whose laws regarding the
working of conyicts on highways
stand out most prominently. So
anxious was Governor Hatfield, of
West Virginia, to secure an effective
law says DR.. Wh!tin's report, he
went to New York, and, with the as
sfstance OF representatives OF the
national committee on prison labor
of the road department OF Columbia
University and sof the legislative
drafting bureau, worked out bills
making compulsory the employment
of convicts on the roads.
The report gives synopsis of
West Virginia law as well as the
Iowa law which it eommends as the
best laws Of the kind that any state
has yet succeeded in securing.
