January, 1914, thirty-two convicts
an average of more than one day.
had been logged for violations of the
rules, listed usually for disobedience.
The record showed that each con-
vict had been given from FIVE to, ten
lashes, the average being eight. MAX
ing rs strokes that have been dealt
convtcts in the one camp laone in
month-and recorded.
Captain Lucks record showed that
in his camp twenty-five convicts
were fogged during January. with
dlsobedience and laziness listed as
the usual offenses. The number OF
lashes given each man in this camp
was, according to the record. from
five to nine, with seven as the aver
age. That makes 154 strokes that
have been applied to the backs of
convicts in Captain Luck's camp, or
410 strokes that have been laid on
the quivering backs of chained and
shackled men in two of the convict
camps of Fulton County in one
month.
Neither Captain Luck nor Captain
Tyree was at his camp when the
Commissioners called on their inves-
tigating tour. but through their sub
ordinates the probers reprimanded the
bosses sharply. Commissioner Shell

dered on OF the guards at the Wei

Il have seen Tyree whip the blood
out of the conyicts and appear to taSe
a fiendish satisfaction in his work
To some of them he has given 81
many as 25 lashes. Some of them
were sullen and bore their punish

tude. Others screamed piercingiy and
writhed in their agony"

Ballots of Women
Put Chicago First
In Voting Strength

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The city of Chi
cago awoke to-day to find itself the most
powerful voting city in the United
States. A count on the registration OF
voters completed early to-day showed a
total of 153.S97 women voters had OBJ
tanned the right to cast their ballots in
the primary elections of February "a.
In addition. IS, l61 male voters regis
tered during the thirteen hours that the
poll books were open. Chicago now has
.404 voters, which is 1889 more than
the total voting population of Greater
New York.
The advent Of the women voters threw
great uncertainty into the ranks of the
old line politicians who have controlled
various wards in the city for years
