GOVERNMENT AGENT
v||VD|CATEs SMITH
Origin of Complaint as to
Conditions at County
Jail Discovered.

W. J. Dove, "prison lawyer" fed
eral prisoner serving term Of one year
in the county Jail for, white slavery,
was the informant of James Fl. Ander-
son, who, in his capacity Of United
States marshal, charged that prisoners
at the institution were not properly
cared for by Sheriff Andrew Smith.
! Marshal Anderson complained to the
department of justice at Washington,
and short time afterward j. F. Fish
man, special agent of the department,
came to Salt Lake to make an investi-
CATION.
While the details of the report made
by Agent Fishman are not definitely
known, it is believed the officer does
not agree with the charges that the food
furnished the prisoners at the Jail is in
sufficient. Mr.. Fishman is Of the opin.
ion that in the methods followed in
distributing food to the prisoners one
may receive more than another, but the
agent is certain that no prisoner re-
ceives too little for proper nourishment.
Anderson Is Advised.
Marshal Anderson was informed of
the arrival Of the special agent in the
city, That evening a reporter for q
morning newspaper with which Ander-
son has close relations, accosted him
and asked questions indicating that
publicity was to be given the next
morning in reference to the investiga-
tion.
Agent Fishman, believing that the
interests Of the government could be
best conserved if the sheriff was un-
aware Of his prospective inspection, Wis
tied the county jail the morning follow
ing his arrival. He reached the Jail at
s O'Clock, and before the Jail officers
had received the newspaper containing
the account of his arrival, and who
therefore had had no opportunity of
preparing any special meals. Mr. Fish,
man that morning ate breakfast with
the prisoners.
He found the breakfast excellent in
quality and sufficient In quantity, con.
sisting of oatmeal, bread, coffee and
milk, one-third of a loaf OF bread to
each man. When questioned the pris-
oners admitted that the breakfast was
"pretty far
Investigation Made.
In view of tho publicity given the
matter, Agent Fishman decided to make
n special Investigation and spent four
days examining into every feature OF
the jail management, eating dozen
or more meals with the prisoners, and
questioning many of them concerning
conditions.
Among articles on the menu eor the
various meals served week days. and
Sundays were included mutton stew,
beans, Hungarian goulash. bread, cot
fee, milk, tea, stewed fruit and various
soups and. stews. The coffee was not

The president has adhered to a poll

charges have been filed against Regis

that any appointment to these positions
