FORMER CHAPLAIN AT PENITENTIARY
 SAYS MEN WERE BEATEN TO DEATH

and negro prisoners are treated in the same room, and all must drink out of the same cup. Women at the farm are kept in small house which has only one small window, and which usually is so crowded that the inmates scarcely have room in which to turn. There are always about 300 or 400 more pris- oners at the farm than are needed.
 Many of the prisoners complain that they are unable to get station cry or postage stamps, so that they might write to their families or friends. The only ones who are provided with postage stamps are the warden's pets and the 'snitch- ers.' Many have appealed to me personally, asking for stamp that they might write to their loved ones.
 OLD BEAR HUNT"
 Until a short time before the legislature convened, gambling was permitted at the farm. When l asked that the gambling tables be torn up and converted into book cases the warden said, 'Aw, let's wait until the first of the year. The prisoners and wardens would hardly wait until I had finished my sermon on Sunday before they were arranging the paraphernalia so that they could spend the bal ance of the day gambling. Until the new commission went in, the men were permitted to go out and kill cows belonging to the residents of Warner. This meat would be used by the wardens and the hides would be burned up. At the camp stealing and killing these COWS was called the bear hunt
 Shortly before the legislature convened two wardens who were feared by practically all of the prisoners were discharged.' But after the legislature adjourned the old political machine began it's work again and the two wardens were reinstated. During the time the legislature was in session, such work as fixing drainage for the crops was done, new stalls for the horses were built, but little was done to improve sanitary conditions under which the prisoners were forced to live.
 "Since Yates Standridge made his statement that the men at the farm are not cruelty treated, he has been put in the walls which is the best place at the farm. Here he receives better food and treat ment. At the time Standridge made his escape from the farm he said that it was because he was cruelty treated by' the wardens. Now he says that the wardens are not brutal
 SAYS HE WILL TOUR STATE.
 Dr. Tomme read an affidavit from former prisoner at the farm, who said that he had been given as many as 27 blows across the back by one of the wardens. He refused to divulge his name, saying that he and did not wish to humiliate him.

Little Rock, June 29.-"The hall has only been told" the Rev. l.. Tomme. former chaplain of the state farm at Warner, told the con- gregation at the Barring Cross Bap- list church Sunday night, when he smoke on "Prison Reform" He re- iterated his statement that condl- lions at the farm are unsanltary, and that prisoners are treated ln- humanlv. "When the other half IS known there will be no doubt in the minds of the public that my charges are true" he said.
 He censured members of the penitentiary commission, the state government" and said that the old political machine is running the state farm in such a way that it makes criminals out of young men and loving fathers, who are sent to the county farm to be re- formed because they forfeited their rights to be free men,
 Little chance for the spirit of reformation exists at the state farm" MT. Tomme said "The pris- oners are not allowed to smoke ci- garettes or use profane language, a,~ln constantly cursing the prisoners and smoking cigarettes in their presence. The force of wardens is brutal, and is ever cursing the prisoners.
 "When the men resist strapping, which is a common occurrence, the warden calls for several of the 'snitchers,' who hold the man, hands and feet, another sitting on his head, while the warden gives eight or ten licks with astrap that many times draws blood" At this point the speaker exhibited strap about four feet long and added: 'This is one of the smallest they use. Ten licks on the back with this strap in the manner the war dens use it is brutal.
 Sanitary conditions at the farm have been improved little recent ly, but many more improvements must be made before it will be placed on a sanitary basis. The rank men are allowed to bathe but once a week. That day is Sun day. They are given wooden bar rel, which is sawed one-half in two, and as many as four or five prisoners are forced to bathe in the same water. In this manner pris- oners are apt to contract almost any kind of disease.
 "If the rank men-those contin- ually under the guns-are unable to provide underclothes for them selves they must sleep in the dirty working clothes. The hunks in which the men are forced to sleep are filthy and unsanitary. The ventilation system is very poor. Life is cheap at that place. Many men have been strapped to death at the farm, and when it is made known the report goes out that heart fail ure claimed another prisoner
