IS SUSTAINED
IN REPORT
Barracks Men Assure Board He
Did Not Receive Supplies
Needed by County.

That Captain Tom Donaldson, for
mer head of the cOunty's Public
Works Department, took only such
supplies from the county commissary
as the county did not need was the
report filed with the County Commits
barracks
The report, signed by N. Lyon,
bookkeeper; A. c. Coker, yard guard;
A. c. Thompson, transfer clerk, and
T. B. German, garden guard, declares
that Captain Donaldson was supplied
with vegetables twice week during
the summer, and also was supplied
with fresh meats when hogs at the
barracks were killed
The convicts Were never deprived
of anything because of the supplies
furnished to the former chief of the
department, the report asserts.
Letters Commend Donaldson.
The report was filed at the request
of Captain Donaldson, VINO had been
directed by the commission to fur
nish the board with an idea of the
amount of the county's supplies he
had used at his home. The board will
act upon the report later.
A half dozen or so letters from for
mer members of the board accompa-
MED the report. All of them spoke in
praise of Captain Donaldson's char
acter, and said it has been a custom
for the married men in the employ of
the county to get vegetables and fresh
meat from the commissary.
This, the letters said, was regarded
as a part of the mems compensation.
The unmarried men are boarded by
the county.
Statement Resented.
An expression in letter written to
Captain Donaldson by Captain Jack
Spalding, a former member of the
board, was resented by the Commits
sioners.
Mr.. Spalding wrote that, with Cap
tain Donaldson out of the way, it
would be easier for the board ito put
things over
1T was an unfortunate expression"
commented General Anderson, and ]
am sure Captain Spalding didn't mean
1t as a reflection on any of us.

Tennessee business Man and
Reformer Endorses Stand
for Better Prisons.

Frank F. Mahoney, secretary and
general manager of the Rhodes Ma
honey Furniture Company, of Chat
tanooga, is in Atlanta buying goods
for a big special furniture sale to be
conducted by his firm soon.
Mr. Mahoney is one of the remark
able business men of the nation, and
Is known wherever success in bust
ness obtains. He is an eX-president
Of the Chattanooga Chamber of Com
merce. is vice president OF the State
Retail Furniture Dealers Association
Of Tennessee, and is the president of
the John Howard Association of Ten
nessee, a splendid and highly effective
organization working for prison bet
terment and reform
Mr.. Mahoney, as advertising man
ager of one of the largest and most
successful furniture houses in New
York for fourteen years, used eXclu-
sively and with amazing success the
Hearst newspapers.
He says frankly that, in his opinion,
there are no newspapers in any sec
ton Of the nation so surely effective
as the Hearst papers. He places them
in u class by themselves, when re-
suits are looked for.
Mr.. Mahoney also sympathizes
warmly with the Hearst newspapers
in the fight they continuously are
waging for prison betterment and res
form everywhere. This. Is a subject
very close TO Mr. Mahoney's heart,
and his ideas run parallel to those
of the Hearst papers on this vitality
important matter.
In his personal appearance Mr.. Ma
honey bears a striking resemblance
to the late Kyrie Bellew, the famous
actor. The Chattanooga man used to
be mistaken for the actor, and rather
enjoyed the complications sometimes
arising from the situation.
