SAYS CONVICTS ARE
'HONORED GUESTS
At State Pen, and Guards Are At
Their Mercy-More Light
On Blair Case, Too
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(SlnClllllall ElqulreI)
In statement bitterly criticiz,
ing methods of conducting tho
Kentucky state reformatory a,
being OF milk and water Sunday
School character" Joseph MaXey
Y West Fourth street, Newport
KY, yesterday announced he had
rendered his resignation as Assist
ant Superintendent because OF
his disapproval of conditions at
the reformatory.
MaNey last night denounced the
policy of the new superintendent,
Henley Y. Bastin, who, he said,
treated prisoners as "honored
guests of the institution"
Take the matter of treating
prisoners who escape" he said.
The law provides a punishment
of from one to SIX years con-
tinement for attempted escape,
but the worst they get now is a
seven days in solitary on bread
and water and 90 days in stripes" "
Under the present system at
Frankfort, the reformatory,
which is not a 'reformatory' at
all, is turned over to convicts.
Guards are not permitted to
strike prisoners, and as a result
they are at the mercy OF the men
sought to be punished
"Nisitors at the reformatory.
who are admitted promiscuously,
are not searched" MaXey said.
Neither are the prisoners, cX-
cept at intervals Of several weeks,
and when the search is made.
bushels Of pocket knives are
found on the prisoners.
Asserting that Gov. Edwin p.
Morrow was Hoodwinked" in
pardoning. Frank Blair; who was
confined in the rcformatory for
holding up Captain James Hen
bricks. OF Louisville, MaNcy said
the pardon was not transmitted
through proper channels, neither
was there any excuse for not
knowing what other offcnscs he
was sought for, he said. as the
names OF all offenscs charged
were on the prisoners commit
mcnt card.
The pardon Of Blair" Maxey
said, was the result of efforts OF
a powerful band OF politicians and
wealthy friends Of the convict"
Pointing out that BIair's re
lease was carried out in a mys-
tcrious manner, MaXcy state,
that outside influence had beer
active in Blair's behalf.
Il have information that Blai,
belonged to what was termed
business ring composed of per
sons whose influence was 50 grea;
that ii put Blair in the position OF
being able to raise $250,000 if sucl
a sum was necessary to obtain hi
release"
1T is ineXplicable to me tha;
Gov. Morrow should have passe(
favorably on the pardon under
the circumstances" said MaXey

HUMBOLDT RIVER IS
HIGHEST IN YEARS

The Humboldt river at Elko is the
highest it has been for years, acord-
ing to old residents. The river rose
four inches Sunday and spread rapid
ly over the lowlands in the vicinity
of Elko. The water is rushing swift
ly past the Lamoille bridge here and
the river is an eighth of mile wide
in places and uniformity is three
times its usual width. No damage
has been done by the high water and
it is not believed that any will be
done
Old timers recall some years ago
when an alarm of flood was sent to
Eliko from points up stream, but the
river this year is higher than it was
at that time and there Is no reason
to fear under present circumstances.
The present condition of the river
augurs well for the irrigation season
all along it's channel.
Spring is at least thirty days ahead
of it's usual season at Elko. The warm
weather of the last week has brough.

county the inconsistency of paying

duty seems to be to act as nurse to

salary of nearly 800 per month.
Bootlegeers Work Unmolested.
I'VE believe the many rumors re-
garding the illicit liquor traffic in
White Pine county to be well found
ed. and we wish to request the pres
ent board of county commissioners,
of this county to make every effort
to bring before the bar all persons
carrying on this Illicit manufacture
of liquor, as we'll as the several soft
drink parlors in the district where
liquor is sold.
Sheriff Winks Mt Liquor Traffic.
I'VE do not believe that Sheriff
Enslow and his deputies at all times
made the efforts that should have
been put forth by that office to bring
TO justice those engaged in the un-
lowful liquor traffic, and that they
did not perform their sworn duty. We
have been unable to get sufficient in
formation to indict, because it is a
hard matter to get some persons to
testify against the other fellow. but
he public is we'll aware of the fact
hat certain drink which intoxicates
is being peddled in Ely and other
places, and there has never been a
time in the history of White Pine
county when district attorney and
4 sheriff had such an opportunity to
render distinguished service to the
people as have the present incumb-
ents of the two offices in bringing to
justice those who are guilty. They can
be located. arrested and tried. We
hope the two officers will work in
unity and accomplish that which they
are sworn to accomplish.
District Attorney Put on Probation
1--WE do not believe that District
Attorney Edwards in all respects dis
charged the duties of his office as a
public officer sworn to do his full
duty should have done.
"The booze traffic carried on under
his immediate surroundings, and of
which the public is generally aware,
is a disgrace to any civilized COM
munity, and we are not aware of any
record where Mr.. Edwards covered
himself with glory in attempting to
stop in any way this Illicit traffic,
carried on, 1t seems, both wholesale
and retail.
1T is too early to make any par
ticular comments as to the conduct of
the present incumbent of the office
of district attorney, but we hope and
believe that he will conduct the af
fairs of his Office in suck name
as to reflect credit upon himself, and
that he will show the taxpayers Of
White Pine county that their conf
dence in his integrity has not been
misplaced"
