Hold Secret Sessions in Bunk
house at AdamsviIe.

From convicts at the Adamsvilt@
camp, mcst of whom had only a few
days left to serve, and therefore were
not in fear of reprisal at the hands
of the bosses" stories of unbeliev-
able brutality and callousness were
obtained Tuesday by the members of
the joint investigating body made up
of members of the State Prison Com
mission and the Board of County
Commissioners
With the Grand Jury conducting
one probe of the cruelties that are al
legged to prevail in the Fulton County
camps. the two commissions, each of
which is vitality concerned in the ad-
ministraticn of prison matters, deter
mined upon n most searching investi-
cation of their own. They started
| out Tuesday on a tour of every con-
Wet camp in the county. Their in
vcstigation may take them the rest of

What they found on tho first day
probably viii be sufficient to make
them certain that the charges of cru
city, unwarranted and merciiess fog
gings and persecution at the hands Of
the guards must have substantial
basis in fact
Tell OF Unwarranted Cruelty.
They were told Tuesday by the con-
victs, who have been under the lash,
that whippings were administered on
the most trivial pretexts and some
times, 60 far as anyone was able tc
discover. for nothing at all.
They heard from the lips of the
lips of the men who have suffered
that the convicts. suffering the pain
of violent sickness were made to get
up from their hunks and go to work.
If they Jagged or staggered, they
were cursed and driven by the
guards.
The Commissioners also learned. il
they did not already know il, that
the guards are reported a number
of times to have engaged In drunken
orgies and that the character of the
men who are chosen to have control
Of the men in stripes in many in
stances would appear to be lower
than that of their charges.
H. d. Fleming is one of the con-
victs at the Adamsville camp who
was questioned closely by the Com
missioners. His term will be up in

JOHN MITCHELL DEFENDS
BIG LABOR ORGANIZATION
Warmly Upholds Western Federation
of Miners and Denounces din
dustrial Feudalism."

Washington, March 25.-John Mitch.
ell, former president of the United
Mine Workers and for ten years chair
man of the trades committee on agree
ment of the National Civic Fedora
ton, warmly defended the Western
Federation of Miners, and denounced
industrial feudalism," which he al
legged existed in the Michigan copper
district, and in the Colorado and West
Virginia coal fields, when he appeared
before the house subcommittee on the
Michigan strike Monday.
1.-THE charge made by mine owners
in Michigan that the Western Fedora
ton of Miners is a Socialist organiza-
ton and that on that account agree
ments with it cannot be made, is ut
terly fallacious," said Mitchell. THE
Western Federation has for some
years made trade agreements its fun
damental policy. For twelve years 1t
has been in control of the Butte cop
per districts, where perfect harmony
has existed with the Amalgamated
Copper company.
RED Socialism does not enter
into the situation as factor. The
Western Federation is affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor,
which has no more connection with
the Socialist party than with any 9TH
er party.

WAR SECRETARY MAY GO
British Cabinet Members Fear Disrup-
ton in Ranks of Army If Mar
shall Quits.

London. March 28.-The British gov
ernment's situation became more criti-
cal on Thursday. The crisis Is fast ap-
preaching. Every indication points to
the sacrifice of Colonel Seely, secre-
tary of state for war, to prevent Field
Marshal Sir John French, chief of the
imperial general staff, and Sir John
Spencer Ewart, adjutant general,
from resigning from the army council.
Both officials resigned. The resigna-
tions caused Premier Asquith to aban-
don his plan to make a further state
ment to parliament, and a cabinet
meeting was called hurriedly. Every
effort was made to induce Field Mar
shall French and the adjutant general
TO withdraw their designations. Both
men resigned because they were Joint
signers with Colonel Seely to the two
repudiated paragraphs of instructions
to General Cough. They refused to
withdraw their designations unless
Colonel Seely. was removed.
Fearful that the detection Of its vir-
tual head would cause the disruption
of the army, Premier Asquith is be-
lieved to have decided to cast aside
Colonel Seely, and it is said he again
has resigned.

Lower Body of Congress Approves APP

100000, Without Substantial Amend
ment-Now Goes to the Senate.

Washington, March 28.-With the
united protest of the South American
press, the opinion of the world is
unanimously in favor of the repeal of
the Panama canal tolls extension, de-
clared President Wilson on Thurs
day.
The president told callers that the
South American press had joined the
opposition of European countries and
regarded the Panama canal act as a
violation of treaty. Mr.. Wilson
pointed out that perhaps there was a
his reason for desiring the repeal. He
emphasized that it was not his own
opinion alone that mistaken eco
nomic policy and a breach of treaty
was involved, but 1t was a universal
opinion that an international situation
needed correction.
The bill was INSTRUCTED in the house
by parliamentary situation, rich in
motions, roll calls, demands for a
quorum and all the agencies Of delay

mish of the fight was about to start,
the rivers and harbors bill, then the
only obstruction to the tolls repeal bill,
was temporarily displaced and a new
stumbling block-a conference report

Administration supporters, chatting
at the delays, got their forces into pc.

For two hours the urgent deficiency

while Representative Kindel of Colo

After many days Of debate the riv
