STATE REFORMATORY
is BADLY CROWDED
Supt. BoWTOn Forced to Refuse
Prisoners; Addition Planned.

GREEN BAY, WIS. - Crime in
the state of Wisconsin is either on
the increase, or municipal and circuit
judges throughout the state are more
lenient with offenders by not sending
them to the penitentiary, is the way
officials of the Wisconsin state re-
formatory account for the crowded
condition of the institution at the
present time. Recently sheriffs ar
rived in the city with several prison
ers who had been committed to the
state reformatory. Bowron was forced
to turn them away with the state
ment that the institution was too
crowded to take care of additional in
mates.
The state reformatory is used for
the most part in taking care of what
is known as first offenders and those
under twenty-one years of age. Dur
ing the last few weeks many boys
have been brought here from all Sec
tions of the state and the vacant cells
have been rapidly filled.
Three years ago, under the dlrec>
ton of superintendent Bowron, a
new cell house with capacity Of $50
cells was completed, but even the ad-
ditional space has proven Inadequate
to care for the new offenders. The
cell house recently completed was
built to the north of the building, pro-
visions being made for the construc-
tion of another one Of like capacity
to the south of the rotunda.
Efforts have been made by the state
board of control to get an additional
appropriation from the state legisla-
ture to carry on the work Of construct
ing another addition, and if they meet
with success the work will be gotten
under way as soon as the money is
available.

PRISON OFFICIALS sLAMELESS
FOR KIDNAPPING OF FRANK
Band Worked So Quickly That They
Secured Control at Once.

Milledgeville, Ga, Aug. 17.-Prison
officials are held to be blameIess in
connection with the kidnapping of Leo
NJ. Frank from the state prison farm,
in a statement given out tonight by
r. E. Davidson, chairman of the state
prison commission. Mr.. Davidson
with Commissioners Rainey and Pat
terson, was here to inspect the peni-
tentiary when Frank was seized
The commission has full power, not
excepting that invested in the gov
ernor, to conduct or order any inves-
tigation.
Mr.. Davidson's statement said that
as the band worked so quickly and
was so well organized, and Immediate
ly upon its arrival at the prison so
completely controlled the situation,
that mo responsibility rested upon
either the commission or anybody at
the farm"
Some comment was heard here today
as to why the lynchers had to deal
with only five men-the warden, the
superintendent, two guards and a
'trusty" in charge at the gate.
That Warden ]. T. Smith and Su-
perintendent ]. NJ. Burke were pew
erless wit Ethe facilities they had at
hand when the band arrived is not
questioned here Burke says the mob
completed its work in five minutes;
Smith says five or six minutes First
all wires were cut at the prison. Then
Warden Smith was made prisoner
while another squad handcuffed Burke
and led him to the gate they wished
to enter. A command to the +'trusty'
to open the gate was demurred to. but
a threat to kill him quickly gave the
gang easy access to the inside. As the
gate was opened a guard came up, but
he was overpowered, as was the second
one encountered. Frank was seized
by five men, according to most reports.
hurried outside and thrust into an au-
tomobile along with a long rope that
dangled before his eyes.
He did not utter q word and what
he said, If anything, during the long
ride from Milledgeville to the outskirts
of Marietta, probably never will be
generally known.
