WHITMAN PHONE
SUDDENLY ENDS
PRISON INQUIRY
BlackWell's Investigation
Stops After Governor
Rebukes Commission.
MEMBERS REFUSE
TO LIFT MYSTERY
Island Physician Testifies That
Half the Prisoners Are
Drug Users.

In the midst Of its investigation Of
conditions on BlackwelPs Island yes
terday, the State Prison Commission
brought its work to an abrupt close
following a telephone call from Gov
ernor Whitman in Albany. Although
none of the members would even hint
at the reason for the adjournment OF
the hearing in such short order, it was
learned in Albany that Governor Whit
man had asked the commission that
their report on the island institutions
be submitted to him at the same time
they gave it 10 the newspapers. They
gave out their report on Sing Sing be-
fore giving It to him.
After two witnesses had told what
they knew Of conditions in the city
penitentiary the commission adjourned
for two hours, while three Of its mem
bers. following the telephone call from
Albany, journeyed to Manhattan. On
their return came a twenty-minute
executive conference" and an an
nouncement that the commission had
decided not 10 continue its holdings
until some future date
Why the commissioners had nd-
iourned so suddenly or what motive
Law beneath their action neither Henry
Solomon. the president; Leon NJ. Vein
stock, vice president: Richard VI. Hurd
nor Frank +. Wade would tell. AS each
left the room he told inquirers: 81
have nothing 70 say. Mr.. Tremaine
will tell YOU everything" John F. Ire
maine, secretary of the body. however,
said he could not give any information.
Mr.. Solomon entered the warden's
room after his talk with the Governor,
and in a moment the other three COM
missioners had seized their hats and
coats and were on their way TO Man
haitian. At the pier they ran into
Frank Tannenbaum. whose charges
were indirectly responsible for the in
vestigation. and Commissioner Hurd
told him he would not be needed as a
witness.
Then followed a significant telephone
call from a drug store, the commits
sioners evidently preferring not TO
speak from the island. whose only tele-
phone is connected with the switch
board in the Department of Correction.
Il was rumored on the island that this
second mysterious call had 20 do with
the decision of District Attorney Per-
kins to take a hand in the .nyestiga-
ton because of the number of COM
plants he had received from inmates.
When an explanation for the sudden
adjournment was sought from Commits
sioner Katharine B. Davis. she said she,
too. was in the dark about it. She had
been asked to testify, but at o'clock
Mr.. Tremaine had t,lephoned her, say
ing she need not go to the island. She
will conduct a party of newspaper men
through the correction institutions to-
day.
