 clared the man had been dead nearly "A hours and stated that he wanted him removed. Upon investigation MT.

TWO COUNTY ]AILS
 BADLY NEGLECTED,
 ANDREWS REPORTS
Prisoners in Morgan County Jail Forced to Go With out Food From 1 P. M.
 Till 7:30 A. M.

Montgomery. December 3.-(Special) General conditions at the jails Of Nor gan and Madison counties indicate neg lect in their keeping on the part of the persons having them Tn charge, accord ing to reports submitted to Governor Henderson by pr, Glenn Andrews. state prison inspector. In a report on the Colbert county jail the inspector says the crowded condition does not exist now. but that there are other faults to be remedied.
 "The general appearance ef the jail indicates neglect in it's keeping says the report on the Morgan county jail Although freshly painted interiorly about two months ago, the walls or the building and of the cages were soiied and stained with tobacco spittle and from other causes. Several cells are provided with spring cots and mat tresses For obvious reasons, except in the sick ward. these should be abolished and hammocks substituted The Sher- if states that the blankets were washed by the janltor every 10 days to two eeks, according to use. However, sthose in use were dirty, as were the mattresses.
 "The arrangement of the plumbing is very unsatisfactory. It is all open
 
 destruction by refractory prisoners. and was informed, is a frequent source of annoyance from this cause. In four of the cells grating doors secured by padlocks, close over the windows on the inside, there also being iron or steel bars exteriorly. This is very in secure and offers an invitation to an
 inmate to break out of jail'
 LONG FAST
 One of the most Interesting features of the Morgan county jail report IS the demand of the inspector that the din- ner hour be moved up from l o'clock to 80 or o'clock. His investigations show that only two meals were served. breakfast at 7:30sa. and dinner from l12:S0 to 1 o'clock. Prisoners are said l to have been forced to go without l food from 1 o'clock in the afternoon l until 7:s0 o'clock the following morn ling.
 1 Of the Madison county jail the in ! spector said. 'The general appearance l of the jail indicated lack of proper supervision and care. The cells needed sweeping out and there was a pile of old and torn blankets in one of them. It was stated that the blankets on the hammoeks were laundered three or four l times a year, and judging, from their condition 1t is-about time for them to have one of these occasional cleansings. "The prisoners are required to sweep | out and SCOUT their cells and the ad- 1 joining railways. The janitor cleans ous 1 the main railways. The prisoners also either wash their clothing in the bath tubs, or send them out at their own ex- pense to be laundered. This Is highly Unsatisfactory. All laundry should be either sent at regular and frequent in tervals to a public concern or proper provision should be made to have il done at the jail"

RUSS AMBASSADOR AND PREMIER ID
 SAIL FOR FRANCE
To Attend Meeting at Which Russian Representation at Peace Conference Will
 Be Considered

New fork. December 3.-Prince George E. Lvov premier in the Russian provi- sional government, and Boris A. Bakhme- teff, Russian ambassador at Washington, will sail for France this week to at tend meeting of Russian diplomatic representatives in Paris at which the Russian representation at the peace con ference will be considered.
 The announcement of Russian plans was made today by A. J. Sack, director of the Russian information bureau in the United States.
 T think that Russians ought to de- fend Russias interests at the peace con ference" said Prince Lvov Tt is neces- sary either to recognize the governments already formed in Russia which are friendly toward the allies and to admit their representatives to the conference. or else to invite for the discussion of Russia's affairs such Russians as, to the best judgment of the allies. possess authority and enjoy the confidence of Russians.
 sRussias fundamental need is deliv erance from the bolsheviki and the crea- ton of such state of life as the Rus sian people may freely choose. The masses of the people are opposed to the bol- sheviki, but cannot organize themselves to struggle successfully against the armed tyranny of the small minority
 ''The Czecho- Slovaks are fighting against the bolshevik and around them is being formed a Russian national army If the allies will not bring immediate assistance, with supplies and men, the Czecho-Slovaks will perish and with them will disappear the hope of Russian free dom for long time to come. An armed struggle with universal bolshevism Is necessary and inevitable for the allies Now it can be carried out. with small force, but with every day of indecision and hesitation and doubt 1t will require greater and greater forces to overcome the anarchy"

ty-eighth Division as its battle hymn
to be used later in their drive
against the Germans, the khaki-clad,
stalwart men from Pennsylvania,
10000 strong. swung evenly into
Broad street at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning amid cheers from 10000 ci-
villains.
Passing around the Confederate
monument, in the heart of the city,
with bands playing Dixie hundreds
OF the men were seen to raise their
eyes to the immobile forms of Lee,
jackson, Walker and Cobb, grouped
in statue form above the shaft.
Men in the crowd were moved al
most to tears when Miss Mary Hall,
81 years old. known throughout the
south as an unreconstructed rebel,
cheered the men from the North in
keen, fervent tones and clapped her
hands until almost exhausted.
General Charles II. Muir, who re-
viewed the march, had no comment
to make as to which unit made the
best showing. The field artillery bri-
Gade went through the streets at a
trot, at times with horses galloping,
as the parade of the two brigades of
infantry ahead of them had taken up
nearly two hours time and the Off
GERS wanted their units to reach
camp in time for mess. The infan-
try made the most impressive spec
tacle, and, while no criticism could
be made of any regiment, all appear

All this trouble the Germans went
to for a tobacco substitute, and then
the Hun soldiers would not stand for
1t. Hence the Russian raid, for they
have very choice tobacco in Russia.
All the prisoners, of course, will con-
tinue to be fed that "ersatz" stuff.

you should instantly send in your
contribution to the Telegraph. To-
bacco makes the boys cheerful and
they will need plenty of cheer when

MACARONI MANUFACTURER
CHARGED WITH FOOD CRIME

Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-Learning
that the Kurtz Macaroni Company
here was operating without a license
from the United States food admin
istration, Jay Cooke, administrator
for Philadelphia county, has sum-
moned Max and Robert Kurtz to
show cause why criminal prosecu-
ton should not be instituted against
them. In his proclamation of Janu-
airy 10, President Wilson required
that many manufacturers, including
makers of macaroni, should obtain
licenses from the food administra-
ton in Washington. The Kurtz firm
is the first to feel the pressure of the
food administration in Pennsylvania.
The penalty provided for those who
fail to apply for the licenses is $4,000
fine two years Imprisonment or both.

FOOD DELAY NOT
FAULT OF ROADS,
CLAIMS M'ADOO
Denies That Ships Are Held
Over Time For Allies
Supplies

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Complete
ienial of Herbert Hoover's state
nent that food for the allies and for
consumption in the eastern portion
Pf the United States is lacking be-
.ause of the failure of the trans
portation system was made by Sec
etary of the Treasury McAdoo yes
erday as director general of rail-
oads.
Mr.. McAdoo insists that the short
he farmers are holding it in eXpec-
alton of higher prices. He says, il
i 8Ir. Hoover will specify any particu-
ar food supplies that he wishes
transported, the railroads will ham
lie them promptly. 1t is also de-
Bied by the railroad administration,
which, of course, means Mr.. Ac-
Adoo, that there are any British
8hips awaiting a cargo in Ameri-
Ian harbors, and he even declares
! hat there are cargoes of foodstuffs
: t some of the ports awaiting the
hips to carry them across the ocean.
Public confusion regarding actual
conditions is greatly increased by
] his wide difference of statement be-
ween the food administration and
he secretary of the treasury. Until
yesterday no one had questioned
hat Food Administrator Hoover
znew what he talks about.
Asks Hoover Where Food Is
Mr.. McAdoo, in a letter to the
bod administrator, called on him to
: how where the food was. The let
er read:
Dear Mr.. Hoover: You are, as [
Understand it. the sole purchaser in
zhis country of food supplies for the

upplies which you from time to

upplies shipped. If you will notify

In a statement issued Thursday
