MARSHAL GARDNER ON THE JOB

Fred Douglas, alias Eddie Rivers, alias Bobby Burns, alias Simon Stern, the clever check artist who operated several days in Winslow and passed a score or more of bad checks, is now looking through the jail bars at Los Angeles. This man landed in Wins low driving a fine Dodge touring car and immediately set out to meet the
 people of means And succeeded in hay ing them examine his credentials which were naturally of the highest
The Coconino sun., 1920-10-15

caliber. He finally succeeded in food ing about $300 worth of bad cheeks and then left between sunset and sum rise. Gardner got a scent of him near the Grand Canyon from an east-bound tourist, and the blood hound never lost the scent until the man of many names was lodged safely in his present loca- tion. However, the checks have been all made good and it is possible the case may be dismissed if he agrees to never again put his foot on Arizona soil. We have no room here for such men as this.-Winslow Mail.

Ineligible the first time, presented

Voight, Republican, Wisconsin, and
Sherwood, Democrat, Ohio, support
ed Mr.. Berger's right TO seat.
This is a representative form of
government" Mr.. Mann said, land

U. S. Bureau Lifts Harem
Stiqma on Armenian Girls

Six months or q year in a Turk
ish harem no longer stands between
Armenian girls and marriage, thanks
to the efficacy Of an American mar
riage bureau that has been estab-
lished in BrusSa, the ancient Turk
ish capital in Asia Minor. Travel
ers from the Near East who arrived
recently in this country from Snyr-
ma spoke with pride of the methods
of American relief workers in find
ing husbands and homes for young
Armenian girls who had been cap
tured by the Turks and forced into
their harems.
Lieutenant Chester F. Durham, of
Chicago, a chaplain of the United
States army reserve who had been
sent to Brussa. said he had observed
the work Of the marriage bureau of
the Near East Relief and regarded
is as splendid institution.
'There are many Armenians from
the interior" he said, "who are anx-
ious to renew their family life. and
they come to US for help. We in
yestigate the history of every man
and woman coming to the bureau
and we conceal nothing from the
contracting parties. IF the man and
the girl are willing to accept each
other the marriage is performed. In
all cases the man who is eager for
home life is informed of what the
girl has been through and he under
stands the situation thoroughly. If
he is the right sort he realizes that
the girl has maintained her spirit
ua1 purity and respects her. Thus
far all the marriages brought about
at Brussa have been exceedingly
happy for all concerned"

WELFARE BOARD
:. TOINVESTIGATE
PRISON FLOGGING

Charges that women prisoners in
| the Atlanta city stockade are flog-
ged in a chair in which they are
bound hand and foot will be investi-
gated by the state board of public
| welfare created by the legislature at
| the last session.
In the absence of Chessley B. How
ard, of Atlanta, chairman of the
board, who left Saturday for va
cation in Florida, the investigation
will be conducted by ]. /. Kelly, of
Lawrenceville, vice chairman OF the
board and brother of Representa-
tive ]. Fred Kelly, of Gwinnett coun-
ty, author of the bill creating the
board.
Mr.. Kelly will come to Atlanta
Monday and make a preliminary in
vestigation to find out whether the
charges warrant further action by
the board, which is clothed with
broad powers of inquiry into the con-
duct of penal, charitable and cleo
moSynary institutions both public and
private.
While this Investigation by the
state board is underway, the subject
is likewise being taken up by city
authorities of Atlanta. Councilman
Claude L. Ashley will introduce in
the council Monday a resolution pro-
viding for a councilmanic inVestiga-
ton. Councilman Ashley declares it
would be barbarous to flog women
prisoners in the manner charged by
the Atlanta Humane society, which
started the agitation.
Superintendent Lanford discussed
at some length Saturday the charges
of cruel treatment of women pris-
oners.
"The rules for the conduct of the
steekade are made by the prison COM
mittee of the city council said he.
These rules authorize corporal pun
ishment of unruly prisoners in the
discretion of the superintendent and
tIrG make no distinction between
maiB and female prisoners. 1t has
always been the policy Of the COM
mittee, however, at least so long as
have been here, not to administer
corporal punishment to white women,
Occasionally we have to admin
lister corporal punishment to a col
ored woman. but we do it only when
other means of discipline have failed,
and we never whip any prisoner, male
or female, until the, prison physician
has pronounced such prisoner physi-
cally able to bear punishment. In
giving corporal punishment we use
the chair spoken about in the HUI
name society's report. 1t is not,
however, as the ycharge, a chair hav-
ing straps. It has a sort of gate
or door that holds the prisoner in
the chair.
"The reules require a report by
the superintendent once a week to
the prison committee of council and
this report must show every case
of corporal punishment, giving the
prisoners name and sex and the rea-
son why such punishment was adj
ministered. I do not know whether
the reports have been kept perma-
nent record. If so they will show
