Frankfort, KY, March 1.-the
administrations educational pro-
gram was practically completed
today when the House passed the
Senate bill providing for an edu-
catlonal survey.
Senator Frank Rives, of Hop
kinsville, today filed a minority
report in the investigation of pris-
ons, the House of Reform and
charitable institutions. His min
ority report points out that much
of the findings of the committee
is based on testimony of convicts
who presumed they hoped to gain
some advantage in testifying
against Warden Pythian. He as
serts the report is misleading and
unjust and that the only thing the
committee can say is there were
certain irregularities which
should be fully investigated. The
Senate deferred action en- the

Frankfort, KY, March 11.-Find-
ings of the committee that irvesti-
gated the penitentaries and char
table institutions of this state were
sent to the Legislature yesterday. The
committee criticizes the fact that
garbage from the Frankfort prison
went to the prison warden's hogs,
and that Governor. Stanley kept his
dog in the penitentiary few days.
The fact that Warden Chiffon kept
his chickens in the penitentiary yard
is the only criticism directed at con-
duct of the Eddyville prison. All of
the charitable institutions examined
are commended. ..tn-. NJ, III. I'd
