Charges of Extreme Cruelty
TO Conscientious Directors
At AlCatraz Island Made by
Civil Liberty Bureau.
CAN'T SIT,tIE, STAND
IN TORTURE CHAMBER
Device Fits Into the Cell
And Is Absolutely Dark, Only
Air 0btainable Being From
The Top of the Contrivance.

New York, Jan. 22-Charges that
iron torture chambers have been in
troduced by Col. r. d. Johnson,
executive officer at Alcatraz Island,
San Francisco, in which conscien-
tious objectors of the "absolutist'
type imprisoned on the island, are
placed, were contained in state
ment issued here tonight by the Ma
tional Civil Liberty bureau. Albert
De Silver, director of the bureau, has
left for Washington, it was stated,
to place the matter before Secretary
Baker
In Iron Straitjacket.
Robert Simmons, who is serving
10-year senteflce as conscientious
objector, after being kept in solitary
confinement, has been transferred
to the latest torturing device, in
which he is at present kept" the
statement declared. S,He is unable
to sit down, lie down, or fully stand;
it is practically an iron strait
jacket into which the prisoner is
squeezed.
The dimensions of this torture
chamber are six feet high, % inches
in length and one foot broad. 1t is
absolutely dark inside. the only air
obtainable being from the top of the
cage,
This cage is SO made that it fits
into the cell of the prisoner. When
the cell door is closed, it forms the
fourth side of the cage"
The statement said that four of
these iron cages were manufactured
in the prison machine shop by Or
ders of Col. Johnson.
The four "aBsolutists," the state
ment explains, are Simmons, who is
at present confined; Grosser, Ro-
dolph and Dart. These men, it was
stated, have been kept in solitary
confinement and were absolutely
ignored insofar as medical atten
ton was concerned"
The bureau declared that informa
ton regarding the torture chanl-
bers" was received from officials Of
the Labor Defense League of San
Francisco.
Cages Used at Barracks,
San Francisco, Jan. %. - Iron
cages so constructed that the occu-
pant is compelled to stand are used
at the Alcatraz Island Disciplinary
barracks impaftially as discipline for
all prisoners who refuse to work and
only during working hours, Col. !.
B. Mcdonald, commandant of the
prison, said in commenting on
charges of the national civil liberties
bureau that conscientious objectors
were being confined i'll torture
chambers" All prisoners sent to
the barracks are sentenced to labor,
he said, and when they refuse they
are compelled to stand up during
the 7-hour working day. -.
This discipline" Col. Mcdonald
said, is in use in many prisons and
is an amelioration of the practice Of
claiming the prisoner with his hands
above his head, which we have abol-
ished here"
He said the charge that medical
needs of prisoners were ignored was
false. .>
OF four prisoners the bureau
charged were at present confined i'll
%torture chambers" Dart, he said,
had served his sentence and been
released, Grosser and Rodolph had
never been SO confined, and Sim
mons still elected to stand in the
cage rather than work.

Court this morning asking for the qIashing
of service on the Housing Corporation

.TO.,.'ERH HILL SCHOOL
TO RANK HIGH
Trustees Unanimous in Decision
to Make it One Of the Best in
Country of Its Kind.

The unanimous opinion Of the trustees
OF Tower Hill School. at their annua
meeting last night, was that the teaching
staff should he strengthened and made
one Of the best of any private educational
institution in the country. The trustees
realized that with the ever-incrcasing cost
of food, clothing and all other things that
it may be necessary in order TO obtain
efficient instructors to pay more than
would have been the salaries n few years
ago, and they resolved to spare no expense
to make the school rank high along edu-
cational lines and in comparison to the
physical equipment of the school
Teachers and students have pursued
their work under ifiicultics this year,
but with the erection of the new buildings,
that will cost about 500, 600 when COM
plcted. many embarrassments and in
conveniences will be thing Of the past.
There are upwards of two hundred stu
dents enrolled now. Reports for the year
showed a deficit in operating expenses.
Upon opening the new school it is likely
that the cost of tuition will be increased
in order To meet the expense of the in
structors salaries and operating expenses.
There will be no charge of any character
for the school building.
The annual election of trustees for
those whose terms had expired resulted
in the reelection of III. Rodney Sharp and
Eugene T.. du Pont for terms of five years.
The other trustees are Irenec du Pont,
Lammot du Pont, A. Felix du Pont. Jo-
siah Marvel, w. w Laird, X. r. NJ Car
pcnter, Albert Robin and w. S. Carpen-
ter, Jr.

man Of the drive, will call for reports from
the district committees. The meeting is

its figures TO plan the campaign for the
rest of the week. a report viii be gwen
out showing how much has been raised and
Just how much more the committee deems
necessary to put the drive across.
There are some In the town who arc
skeptical regarding the possibility of
raising by subscription the $4,000 to
$4,000 needed to build hospital, but
these doubters and skeptics look in vain
for any sign of worry or doubt or distrlist
In their ability 10 carry on the work In the
faces of Mayor Fooks and his co-workers.
As an evidence of their confidence IN the
project and their ability to lead it To q
successful conclusion, ). Harlan Ellis,
one of the solicitors in district No. 3, in
speaking before a public gathering of his
success in obtaining signed subscriptions,
