Nassau Sheriff
Criticised by
Prison Board
Mineola Jail Badly Man
aged, 1t Says; Unable to
Learn Where DIR. wilkins
Got Rope to Hang Self
.SDcciuI Corrcsnond,,,.

Spoc,dt Correspondence
ALBANY, Aug. 26-How DR.. Walter
X. wilkins obtained the rope with
which he hanged himself in the Mas
sau County Jail after being convicted
of murder probably will always remain
mystery The State Commission of
Prisons announced to-day that special
investigating committee was unable to
determine where the rope came from.
The committee concluded that there
was laxity in the management of tho
Jail, lack Of understanding Of the rules
and that due diligence was not exer-
cised in the custody of DR.. wilkins.
The commission directed Sheriff Sea-
man to formulate new rules. 1t saws
the law was violated by the improper
segregation of prisoners, the Jail not
being provided with adequate facilities.
1t says, also, that it has repeatedly
called the attention of the Nassau
County Board of Supervisors to this
fact and expresses the belief that much
of the trouble is due to that board.
The commission refrains from MAX
ing any recommendation as to the re-
moval of Sheriff Seaman, saying that
question is before Governor Smith in
the form of charges brought by the
Nassau County Association. The hear
ing will be held Thursday.
A majority report of the Investigate
ing committe was made by Henry
Solomon and Leon C. Weinstock, who
find the Sheriff guilty of "mismanage-
ment, negligence and carelessness"
George w. Davids, in the minority
report, says the Sheriff was hampered
by lack of facilities and that if he
erred it was in showing too much
kindness to prisoners.

Britains plan to make of ireland a
great farm for herself and the British

The Farmer And The Spud

A few years ago an Alabama
farmer had l, 200 bushels of sweet
potatoes to sell, and southern
commission house Offered him
a half a cent a pound for them.
This. was the equivalent of the
price offered per bushel. At the
time this offer was made sweet
potatoes of an inferior grade
were selling in the stores in
northern states al five and six
cents a pound.
Investigation showed that
there was not one person or one
firm that was making an uncon-
scionable profit out of the diff
ference between the consumers
and the producers prices. But
there were altogether too many
people getting some profit out>of
each potato. There were too
many middlemen. The cost of
transportation was, naturally,
