With A NJ Luck. deposed camp

They said both Suttles and Luck
were unmerciful in their treatment

one negro, Perry Craig. said that
Suttles. in a fit of anger a few days
ago, struck him over the head with
o rock Craig also said Suttles would
report him to Captain Luck for no
reason at all. and that Luck then
would whip him.
Floaqed Twice in Week.
Craig said he has been in the
camp for three weeks and has been
logged twice for alleged laziness in
one week.
All the negroes but one, named
Alonzo Woodson, said they would tell
the Grand Jury how they had been
fiogged on their naked flesh.
Craig said he could show long.

him with the big leather strap stud

All the negroes said the food they
are given at Roseland Is unfit to eat.
They reiterated the stories OF bad
food told by white convicts from

Luck Denies Charges.
The names of the negroes who Fri
day are testifying before the Grand
Jury are Perry Craig burglary;
Charles Edwards, shooting; Dorsey
Richardson, larceny; Jim owens,

Alonzo Woo1son, practiCing medicine
without a license.
Captain Luck, who has been dis
charged for the employ OF. the Coun-
~. denies that there is any truth in
the statements Of the negroes He
will tell his story to the Jury.
Indications that the Grand Jury at
the close Of its probe will he asked
to recommend the adjustment of the

intelligent and merciful men as
guards, are found In statements by
Philip Weltner. secretary Of the Geor-
sia Prison Reform Association. at a

ton Thursday night, that more
crimes are committed against the

N1CtS.
1t was minated that Mr.. Weltner
will make q direct request that the
Grand Jury urge the adjustment of
the lash and the other things that
have made the torture of prisoners
fine art in the county camps.
And in view of the attitude taken
by the Grand Jury In conducting its
probe, it is generally conceded that
the matter will be given much con
sideration.
Horrible as have been the tales of
conviCts brought before the Grand
Jury. stories We're told Thursday aft
ernoon and Friday morning of con
ditions that are even worse.
Weltner Denounces System.
Mr.. Weltner, in his speech to the
Brotherhood OF st. Andrew at the
Church of the Incarnation. branded
s almost high treason the hiring by
the state of Georgia of convict guards
! and wardens who can not run camp
| without the lash. and denounced the
| present penal system as one when
| degrades into brutes both the pris-
oners and their keepers. Mr., Welt
uer also brought to task the church
| for not revolving against the horrible
| conditions now existing in the Full
| ton County camps
I'VE may say We didn't know or
| these things" he said. but in not
| knowing we have committed grave
crime against our weaker brother 1t
| is inconceivable to me that Shelby
Smith. S. b. Truman and 7. c. Wa
tiers, all church members, do not
know Of the conditions. 1t was their
business. and ours, too, to know.
The law can't reform men, he
continued but the church can The
law and the convict guards only care
to produce good roads FOR US, Don't
blame all on Captain Tom Donaldson

Tells of BrutalitIes.
The speaker described the Condi-
tion Of a few of the ConNiCts who
were brought before the Grand Jury,
how men were brutally beaten when
sick and how they were whipped un-
mercifuly for missing the lick" in
their work He told Of the death of a
little daughter OF ono of the convicts.
Georgia murdered that little girl. ~
he said. she was sick. The State
sent her father to the Chaingang for
eight months ami took away her and
her mothers support The mother
was forced to work for 81 per week
and leave her sick child That was

MIR. Weltner advocated the ahoN-
ton of the ash stripes and chains
and the hiring Of intelligent men as
guards and wardens, He said that
the removal OF the chains from the
convicts would REQUIRE more guards,

FederaIs See Aid for Themselves
in Lifting of Embargo on Arms.
Huerta More Popular,
speeiaI cabI. to The Atlanta Georgian.

Special Cable 10 ne Ntiant5 SeotVidH'
MEXICO CITY, Feb. s.-Upholding
his pledge to protect Americans,
President Huerta to-day ordered the
arrest of agitators who were trying to
incite attacks on citizens of the
United States. Many were taken into
custody.
Many of the prisoners have been
exhorting the lower classes for many
weeks to rise against the Govern
ment, and their seizure caused in
tense bitterness among their followers.
Anticipating efforts to release them,
an increased guard was placed 1t
the city prison and troops were held
in readiness for quick movement
from the arsenal.
There has been marked change
of sentiment in Government circles
during the last "a hours over the
lifting of the arms embargo by Presi-
dent Wilson. Many officials declared
to-day that the action of the Wash
ington Administration had given the
Mexican Government an opportunity
TO obtain a much needed supply, and
its agents have been Instructed to
buy arms and ammunition in the
United States for immediate ship
ment
Similar notification was sent TO
Mexican agents in Europe.
Huerta's reception in public shows
that he has gained in popularity by
the developments of the last few days.
"Vivas" are shouted as he passes
through the streets, and among even
the better classes. whom he had al
most alienated, there is increasing
demand for a rally to support him
against the United States.
