John c. Scott Brands 40 False Ger
tain Attitude Attributed to
Him by Board IN Matter
Of Prisoners.
HE IS WORKING THEM
Board Members Seem to be Misin-
formed 40 to sherifFs stand-other
Officials corroborate His
Side Of Story.

Sheriff John C. Scott declares the
statements in the Fort Madison Gem
City that he is opposed to working
the county prisoners to be absolutely
false. Sheriff Scott has all the time
advocated working the prisoners. He
suggested to the board Of supervisors
that they install rock pile and was
informed the county could buy its
rock cheaper already crushed. Since
his regime In Office, the prisoners have
been put to work saving wood in the
Jail yard, and the walks in the front
of the court house have been cleaned
by the men now In jail.
The Gem City's story published
yesterday is evidently intended as q
knock on the sheriff elect. There are
certain statements attributed to the
sheriff. which hi, brands as false Not
only that, but the Gate City represen-
tative took the trouble to ask certain
other men who were in the sheriff's
Office at the time the conversation be-
tween one Of the members Of the
board and sheriff occurred, and they
declare that the sheriff at no time OPP
posed the plan. They all declare that
he is in favor OF the plan, and will
make affidavits to this effect II neces-
sary.

He suqqested Rock Pile.

The Gem City says: The board OF
supervisors have run against snas
in their plan to work the inmates Of
of the cities, on the county roads, or
the rock pile. The snag proves to be
in the person OF John G. Scott, county
sheriff. who now asserts that he will
not sanction or permit the working OF
the inmates OF the fails.
Il The rock pile was one Of the first
things suggested by the sheriff as en-
ployment for the men, but the super
visors didn't seem much inclined to
favor it.

scott Not Opposing Plans.

Sheriff Scott has never opposed the
working of county prisoners. He has
offered some suggestions, such as the
matter of clothing, some of the men
not being fifty clad to work out in the
winter cold, But he has never at any
time come out against the system. In
fact he has been an advocate OF this
system, as is shown by his orders to
the turnkey to purchase saws, and to
work the men,
The Gem City's story says that the
board Of supervisors are incensed at
what they call effrontery to their plans,
and Chairman Hosier has declared in
an interview that they will force the
sheriff to obey their instructions.
There Is no doubt but that question
of jurisdiction Is involved, according
to some OF the officials. as to whether
the sheriff or the board has charge OF
the prisoners But Lee county's new
sheriff is not opposing any plans to
make the prisoners work, and he not
only denies the stories concerning
this. but has corroboration Of his
stand.

that some way night be found whereby
the Administration would be spared the
disfavor which Comptroller Williams
action appears to have provoked among

As result of these expressions il is

PEARSON SUIT HAS
BOER WAR PRECEDENT
Federal Court in Louisiana
Dismissed Action as
Being Political.

WAsuiNGroN. MAY THE suit
brought in Wisconsin to restrain the
Allis-Chalmers Company OF that state
from selling munitions OF war to the
Allies Is not the first action Of the
kind begun In the United States
similar action was Instituted in
Louisiana during the Rocr war. and
apparently by the same man. The ac-
tion in New orleans In 1901 was brought
by Samuel Pearson as n citizen and mill
.ary officer Of the Boer republic. while
representatives of the suit In WISCONSIN
say that Samuel Pearson, a former Boer
General. is the plaintiff In that case.
AS the action Of Pearson and his
associates was thrown out OF court by
the Federal Judges In Louisiana It Is
regarded as interesting that similar
action should he started again by the
same man.
II Is also noted that In both cases the
action is aimed at the interests OF Great
Britain. While It IL admitted that the
peculiar Wisconsin statute under which
the action was instituted may permit
the facts in the case 10 become n matter
Of legal record there is no doubt that the
state court will disclaim Jurisdiction
on the ground that State has
nothing to do with expectation OF
goods from the United states The
Department of Justice Is already inquir-
ing into the suit.
The Federal court in Louisiana in dis
, missing Parsons action on the ground
that 1t had no jurisdiction said:
But the nature OF this cause Is such

regarding the Wisconsin complaint,

The court referred to the many AMIR

gerent, subject only to the risk OF con-
hscaton of the goods themselves by the
enemy of such belligerent.
