The letter from which Mr.. Sproul
read stated that nine men who cook
and serve the food at the farm were
badly diseased. The letter stated
further that twenty-five OF the men
engaged in canning tomatoes and
some who did the milking at the

IMPOSSIBLE TO SEPARATE
THE SICK FROM TIE WELL,

Major Wood, Superintendent of the
State Penitentiary. who has nothing
whatever to do with the management
or the State Farm, said that it was
true that many prisoners came to
his institution infected with ycnereal
diseases. He did not doubt that a large
proportion OF those at the farm were
INFECTED, but he could not say that
thcy served and cooked the food OF
the other men. He did say, however,
that it was often impossible TO scpa--
rate the sick from the we'll, for the
reason that no adequate means for so
doing could DO provided under tho ap
preparations made at present. He vol
untecrcd the information, too, that
four out Of every five men executed
Mt the PRISON since he had been its
superintendent were infected with
Venereal disease.
Major Wood speaking Of the bill
to pay prisoners salaries. said that
he did not know Of any more helpful
step the Legislature could take to-
ward giving the discharged convict
a lift toward responsibility. He sad
there were many good men in the
prisons, and many who experienced
keen qualification through being en-
instances, he said, the money &C
cumulatcd by the men was sent to
dependents at home. He said, how
ever, that an appropriation of approx
1mately $4,000 would be needed to
pay the wages authorized by the bill.
An additional sum of about $4,000,
he thought, would be needed to make
the prisons and camps sanitary.
1t also developed during the hear
ing that the only place in Virginia
where Negro tubercular can get
treatment is at the State Prison
Farm. According to DR.. Peter Win
ston, Negroes affected with tubercu-.
losis are being advised to commit
some crime that will cause them to
be sent to the farm.
The reform bill was referred to
subcommittee.
