Flatly Denies Charge

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-Iron cages so constructed that the occu- pant is compelled to stand are used at the Alcatraz island disciplinary bar racks impartially is discipline for all prisoners who refuse to work and only during working hours, Col. J. B. Mcdonald, commandant of the prison, said in commenting on charges of the National Civil Liberties bureau that conscientious objectors were being confined in torture chambers" All prisoners sent to the barracks are sen- fenced to labor, he said, and when they refuse they are compelled to stand up during the seven hours work ing day.
 "This discipline" Colonel Mcdonald Said, "is in use in many prisons and is an amelioration of the practice of chaining the prisoner with his hands above his head, which we have abol- ished here"
 lie said the charge that the medi- cal needs of prisoners were ignored was false.
 Of four prisoners the bureau charged were at present confined in torture chambers" Dart, he said, had served his sentence and beeen re leased, Grosser and Rodolph had never been so confined and Simmons still elected to stand in the cage rather than work.

DEMPSEY ASKS BOXING BOARD
 FOR FAIR PLAY

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Jack Demp- seyy heavyweight champion of the world, has asked that an official in vestigation be made of the informal charges that he was draft dodger during the world war The request was made in telegram received to- day by Mai A. J. DreNel Riddle, presl- dent of the Army, Nary and Civilian boxing board, which it is understood will conduct the inquiry asked, in the near future.
 Dempsey points out in his telegram that the army. navy and civilian board issued professional boxers H. cense to him just prior to the match with Jess Willard which certified that he had a clean and honorable record as a professional boxer and that he had the full sanction and approval or the board Dempsey received license card number 2, the first card going to Willard. who was then champion.
 The present champion states that he followed implicitly the instructions given him by the representatives or the government in draft matters and denies that he was draft dodger. He offers to present himself personally before the board or to submit com plete statement of his war activities in affidavit form and agrees 10 abide by the final decision of the board in it's findings.
 The army, navy and civilian board has announced that Dempsey's request will be referred to the arbitration committee of that organization for de- cision as to whether such inVestlga- tion should be. undertakenH It is stated, informally, that the investiga- ton will be made by a special com mission, including several prominent officers of the American Legion, ii they will consent to serve.
 In his message Dempsey says:
 What 1 have done has been to fol low implicitly the instructions as given to me by the representatives of the government The slogan at that time was follow the governments in structions' That applied to me as to every other citizen in the United States and I was carrying out their orders and abiding by their instruc- tions, and I was not 'Graft dodger as these few Legion posts have de clared and base their decisions on false evidence through persons who are trying to put same over to fur ther their own selfish interests Am to be crucified and condemned be- cause I followed the orders as given to me by the government
 This is an appeal to you as body of thorough and honorable sportsmen, whose aim has always been justice, fairness and square deal for all, to investigate this matter thoroughly and if I am innocent of the charge of draft lodging, clear me publicly be- fore the world, and if am guilty, con demn me"

HAS WILD TALE
 OF TORTURE ON
 PRISON ISLAND
Labor Defense League Says Convicted Stacker Is
 in Steel Cage

NEW YORK, Jan. Exchanges that iron torture chambers have been introduced 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 National Civil Liberties bureau Albert de Sil- yer, director of the bureau, has left for Washington, it is said. to place the matter before Secretary of War Baker.
 Robert Simmons, who is serving a ten-year sentence, as a conscientious objector, after being kept in solitary confinement. has been transferred to the latest torturing device, in which he is at present kept, the state ment declared. He is unable to sit down, lie down, or fully stand; it is practically an iron straightjacket into which the prisoner is incased.
 "The dimensions of this torture chamber are six feet high, 23 inches in length and one foot broad. It is absolutely dark inside. the only air obtainable being from the top of the
 
 cage.
 "This c\Ze 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 made in the prison machine shops by orders of Col. Johnson.
 The four 'absolutists," the state ment explains, are Simons, who is at present confined; Grosser, Rodolph and Dart. These men, it was. stated have been kept "in solitary confine- ment and were absolutely ignored in solar as medical attention was con cerned."
 The bureau declared that informa Iion regarding the torture cham bers" was received from officials oi the Labor Defense league of San Francisco.

Thief Takes Money Intended for Trip
 of Miners Mother

After saving up $500 by hard work in the mines with the intention of go- ing into Mexico to bring his mother back here to live with him, Manuel Estradas, an employe of the Copper Queen, drew his money out of the bank yesterday preparatory to leaving, only to have it stolen from him when he went out of his room, in upper Brewery Gulch, for short time. He locked the door when he left, but when he returned found that some body had succeeded in entering and had taken the money from a bureau drawer. Besides the $500 in currency he lost a gold watch and some rings valued at $200.
