DDS could have satisfied the require
ment of prison discipline.
13. That the idle house is used to
confne from 300 to 300 prisoners
without means of employment.
IA. That certain prisoners are
placed in the idle house who can work
along the lines of individual effort,
even though the State does not fur
nish work at which to engage their
time. However, in this connection,
we do say we do not think the War
den has taken advantage of all the
means available for the working of
the prisoners, the Board of Admins
tration having authorized the return
of twenty-one prisoners to the Lima
State Hospital as honor men, which
opportunity was rejected by Warden
Thomas to relieve contested conditions
in the idle house.
Is. Certain names have been used
by the officers and employees of the
Penitentiary in derision and contempt
when referring to certain companies
of the prisoners, such as "Red Shirts

"Agitators," "Sham Gang" "RougF

necessity is placed in the formal re
ports of the guards when the black

the evidence adduced, proper investi
cation is lacking.
RECOMMENDATION
This Board, having in mind the wei
fare of the prisoners, both while con
fined in the prison and also when they
are restored to liberty, makes the
following recommendations, believing
the law has been followed in due
course and the protection of society
from future acts and crime are the
main purposes for confinement.
Grave and serious charges Of
abuses have arisen and will continue
to arise if one prisoner is permitted t
know the contents of a letter writ

ly or received by the prisoner from his

WHERE HEAVY MEN +

The average weight of men south
of the Mason and Dixon line is from
four to six pounds lighter than the
average weight Of men north Of it,
say United States Marine Corps re-
cruiting officers operating there, in
a report received at Marine Corps
headquarters today. These recruit
ing officers have asked that the mini
mum weight for recruits in the south
be reduced from 124 to 12O pounds,
stripped.
"The large raw-boned Southerner
is seldom seen, the recruiting officers
aver, and, while the men Of the south
are as sound and fit as the men of
any other section, they are. usually
small-boned and light in weight. The
officers point out in their recommen-
dation that some of the best "hikers'
and fighters in the Marine Corps are
the lean, wiry men from the south
| land.

PENITENTIARY INVESTIGATION

Section 1868 of the General Code OF
Ohio enjoins upon the Ohio Board OF
Administration, in the following Ian
guage, "The Board may make such in.
Vesugations as it may deem neces'
sary to the performance of it's du-
ties" the power to make such inves-
tigation of the executive officers Of
the various institutions of the State

be necessary to ascertain facts upor
which to base it's judgment, to re.
move and correct any faulty or detri.
mental practices and improve the
control of the executive officers there.
of, to a standard of efficiency, based
upon the principles of justice and hu.
manity.
Approaching the responsibility in.
cumbent upon US, as outlined in the
section of the General Code above
mentioned, we proceed accordingly tC
investigate certain complaints brought
to our immediate attention with re-
ference to the conduct and manage.
ment Of P. E. Thomas, as Warden o1
the Ohio Penitentiary, and also with
rel erence to the conduct and acts oil
OIL GERS and employees of the Peni
tertiary, under the direction and su
pervision of p. +. Thomas, as War
den. These complaints we're embodied
in newspaper articles, based upon GER
tain letters written by prisoners con
fined in the Ohio Penitentiary.
At the outset of the investigation
the Board determined; not only tt
ascertain the facts relative to tn,
specific acts charged in those publish
ed communications, but also to learl
the truth relative to all acts ant
practices as related to the care anC
custody of prisoners within the Ohi'
Penitentiary, in the keeping of War
den Thomas, and the officers and tht
employees thereof, under his juris
diction.
in accordance with the decision O
this Board, and at the request of War
den Thomas, the hearing was begun
in the parole room at the Ohio Peni
tentiary, September IL, 1916. Tn
entire membership of the Board o
Administration proceeded to hea
evidence, both oral and written, in tn
matter under investigation. For
De iod of nine and one-half days, ex
elusive of recesses, evidence was of
fered, both in support and refutatioi
of the acts and conduct of the War
den, officers and employees of tn
Ohio Penitentiary, and was conclude,
at noon, September %, 1916. Al
testimony presented was adduced un

for the reason that many of the wit

for the family.
But you risk it. Maybe it will turn
out all right, if crops are good, year
after year, and those neighbors ali use
good scientific methods in farming. So
you and the neighbors decide to go
ahead, form your National Farm
Loan Association and borrow $4,000,
if your ten farms are worth over $40,-
600. You appoint committee of three
to appraise all your farms. Of course,
a different committee must appraise
the three farms of that first commit
tee of appraisers, but that's easy.
What is an appraisal between
friends? You may think Bill Jones
has nerve to expect his farm to be
appraised at $4,000 when it is only a
quarter section, and that southeast
quarter of the northeast quarter is
swampy and the creek spoils the west
half for plowing, but you keep still
so Bill won't say a word about the
alkali on your farm.
/ You are wondering all the time if
Sam Slick is put on the appraisal
committee to appraise your farm
what he will do to you. Of course the
mare you traded to Sam, three years
ago, did have a touch of heaves, but
Sam never asked you about heaves
and when you kept her from stuffing
herself with hay, she didn't show it
not much. You are hoping Sam won't
be one Of your appraisers, however.
You say, there must be three ap.
praisers and the other two can out.
vote Sam, anyhow, but when I re.
mind you that the appraisal must be
unanimous you exclaim:
"Eh? What? All three apprais.
ers must agree UNANIMOUSLY
