In a synopsis Of the testimony be-
fore the Grand Jury, made public

shown that sensational evidence had
been heard in regard to the alleged

man of the Weiuaca camp, of his own
son in an effort to extOrt from him a
confession Of theft.
This incident is told in the follow
in extract
Witnesses were called to testify to
what they may have heard concern
ing an attempt by Mr.. Ed Tyree TO

nesses swore merely hearsay testi-
mony in substantiation Of the verify

this desperate deed vas the theft by

"All the witnesses who acknowl-

"One Of the witnesses formerly
worked with Tyree and knew his
methods Of handling his men. Speak
ing Of Tyree's severity in handling
his men. this witness testified that

frfghtful that the blood would splat-

that the screams of the tortured ne
groes were audible for a considerable
distance and that the brutality of Ty-

OFFICIALS URGE
CD IMP ROM|SE
ON BUDGET
Finance Chairman and Foes Re-
lent as City Departments Cry
for Maintenance Funds,

Pressure from city departments
| that are hampered in their work on
account of the deadlock over the new
budget may force compromise and
the passage of the budget at the
meeting of Council Monday afternoon.
A special meeting Of the Finance
Committee was called for 2: 80 o'clock
| Monday afternoon, and at that time
| the attitude of the committee at the
meeting of Council vast o be deter
mined.
The Finance Committee is very re-
| luctant to yield its position that the
| budget should not be changed, but it
has become evident that it will be
! impossible to pass the sheet as 1t
| stands and now that the depart
ments are pleading that the business
| of the city is suffering, compro-
mise seems to be the only course
| open.
BY mutual consent the fixed ex-
| penses Of the city government are be-
| ing met, but many increases in sal
aries, new employees for certain de-
| partments and new street, sewer and
other Improvement projects will be
| held up until the budget passes.
Departments Suffering.
! Many city employees are practical
| ly idle. None of the business of adj
vertising for the bids on contracts
and the like has been done and al
most two months of the year have
slipped by.
| Department heads are not willing &c
complain openly They fear they
might antagonize the Finance Com
mittee But they are very much wor-
| ried over the deadlock and they are
| doing all they can in a diplomatic
way to get it passed Immediately
| They point out that their departments
| will suffer greatly by further delay
| regardless of what street improve
ment projects are finally provided
| for.
Humphrey Will Compromise.
Chairman W. 9. Humphrey, of the
| Finance Committee. takes much
more optimistic view of the city's
financial condition since his return
from New York. He has expressed 6
willingness to consider a reasonable
compromise, and announced that the
city treasury Is not in such a strained
! condition as some officials have de
Clared. But he is not yet willing tC
advise the Finance Committee tC
vote for a conference committee tC
| settle the differences between Coun-
Gil and the Aldermanic Board
we will have some money for new
projects in June said Chairman
| Humphrey. Some officials dom
think so, but I have made a thorough
study of the budget and ! know thai
| there will be more money than We
have anticipated.
Aldermen Also Willing
81 should like to have the fight
over the budget ended. We are will
ing to provide salaries for Street In
| spectors D'Alvigny and Dozier anG
to appropriate at least $4,000 for the
Improvement of Whitehall and For
| syth Streets
| The five Aldermen who are hold
ing up the budget and their support
ers in Council likewise are willing fol
a compromise. They have announced
that their sole contention has been foi

county convict employees, DOtn deputy
wardens and guards, were tyrannical
and cruel, and fundamentally UNIT for
the work at hand that Superintend e.
ent of PlsJliC Works Donaldson either
had knowledge of the character Df
these men he placed in authority or
had every opportunity of knowing their
character (the same was shown TO be
true Of his brother, ST Donaldson /;
hat r. j. Donaldson, while superin-
tendent of public works, was UNI
amena BILE to either control or direc-
ton by either the Prison Commission
or the State or the Board of County
Commissioners, that the system IN
der which wardens or guards are
employed Is unsuited to meet the
States needs.
Upon the Prison Commission of
the State is placed the legal respon-
sibility for the present situation in
the convict camps of this county. I'm
der the law, they are to appoint the
wardens. deputies, guards and physi~
clans. The authority is given them
to draft rules fixing the housing. work
and control of the convicts of the
State.
The Boards Powers.
THE Prison Commission, under the
Law. is empowered and does employ
state inspectors to examine into con-
ditions in the convict camps of the
several counties and find out whether
the rules and regulations of the com :
mission are carried out.
when the rules are not complied
with the commission. under the law,
may discharge the warden or his dep
uties, the physician or the guards,
and may, as a last resort, take away
from a county the felony convicts APP
portioned to it until the prison rules
and regulations are complied with.
Each County Board fixes the sal
airy OF the convict employees, ward =
ems, deputies, physicians and guards
etc Because the local board pay the
wardens and other convict employees,
it has been the policy of the Prison
Commission to allow the local author
tiles to nominate the wardens and
other convict employees. These nom
nations have always been accepted
Therefore, the County Boards feel as
if they control the wardens; that he
is county official. subject to county
politics. rather than a State official.
County Really in Control.
IF the Prison Commission would
wish to put a man in as warden WHO
for some reason or other. was not ac-
ceptable to the local authorities, they
would refuse TO pay him anything but
starvation wages and he would event
ually be forced out of office. In this
way the State Commissions theoreti
cal control is nullified Because oil
that fact a great moral responsibility
rests on local boards to see that their
convicts are treated in the proper
way.
This. however, does not relieve the
State Commission nor their inspec'
tors. The result of these inspection
trips seems to be TO cause punish
ment to those who report wrongs, as
the convicts who complain are mark
ed by the guards for beating.
1T was shown that prison methods
in this county were open to far-
reaching Improvement.
This was brought out principally
