Grand Jury Fixing Responsibility
for Camp CrueIties-Commis-
sions Blame Each Other.

With the Grand Jury pledged
to fix the responsibility for the
terrible conditions that prevail
in Fulton County convict camps
when it. resumes its investlga-
ton Friday morning, the State
Prison Commission Thursday
morning took active steps to-
ward the reorganization of the
system, which it is charged has
been responsible for the cruel
ties to the shackled convicts.
In a letter addressed to the County
Board of Commissioner, the State
Commission suggests that the posi-
lions of County Warden and of SUI
perintendent of Public Works that
are now held by one man. be sepa-
rated and two men named to fill the :
positions.
Warden Urged for Camps.
The letter sets for the the belief
OF the commission that the work OF
the warden should be devoted solely
seeing that they are not mistreated
and that they are provided with com
Portable sleeping and eating quarters.
Fhe commission declares that it is
impossible for one man to attend 10
the duties of the warden and supet-
intendent of public works in coun-
ty that works as many convicts on
the roads as does Fulton.
The action of the Prison Commits
sion in sending recommendations for
reorganization to the County Board
followed a conference with Philip
Weltner, secretary of the Prison Re
form Association.
Change Likely To Be Made.
Mr.. Weltner took the letter to the
County Commissioners. and also will
call the attention Of the Grand jury
to it when that body convenes Fri
day morning.
1t is generally understood that the
County Board will adopt the recon-
mendat!ons of the State Commission,
in which event the warden will re-
ceive d salary OF 500 per month and
the superintendent of pubic works
probably will have his salary reduced
small amount. The amount of the
salary is suggested by the Prison
Commission.
The positions of county warden and
of superintendent Of public works
are now held by S. II. Donaldson. a
brother of Captain T. j. Donaldson.
who was appointed to the position
when Captain Donaldson was de-
noted
The State Commission also is work
ing on number of other plans of
reform which will be presented l., the
County Board and to the Grand Jury.
Reforms Proposed,
Among them are: \ plan to dis
clpline the convicts without so much
fogging; separate bathtub for each
convict; a system of numbering the
clothing SO the convicts can have
their clothing changed when. it goes
20 the wash; to prov de a mess nall
so the conviCts viii not have TO eat
in sleeping quarters: 10 remove the
night boxes from the bunkhouses and
place them outside

notice of tho apparent efforts of the

"Antony and Cleopatra"

Lovers of history, students Of
literature, photo drama enthusiasts
and all classes of society i'll the
world TO whom art and beauty
have any appeal, will revel in
George Kleinc's latest triumph,
the Cines photo drama of Antony
and Cleopatra. The Cines are the
master producers of tie world and
in Antony and Cleopatra" have
eclipsed their achievement with
Quo Vadis'. They have taken
the story of Antony and Cleo
patra" from the first moment of
Antony's fascination by the
Egyptian beauty through the
viCissitudes of his career as her
consOrt on the throne TO the final
episodes where Antony dies de-
Tending her against his Roman
compatriots and Cleopatra kills
herself by the sting of the asp.
1t is all presented with a
dramatic strength that is surpris-
ing to attain upon the screen and
can only be done by such masters
of expression and pantomime such
as the Italian School creates.
The spectacular scenic effects
are simply marvellous, perfect gems
of artistic beauty. The scenes
showing the palace of Cleopatra,
the landing of the Army in Egypt
by moonlight and the triumphant
return of Octavius to Rome have
never been equalled anywhere.
Mr.. George Kleine's production
of the Cines photo drama Antony
and Cleopatra is booked as the
attraction at the Victor Theatre
for one dav only, Tuesday, March
3rd, 1914.
