CITY JAIL L|kE|VED
 TO SIBERIAN HOLE.
 BY KIWAN|AN RICE

In an interesting and varied pro- gram In which Benj. Rice's descrip- tlon of visit to the ctiy jail took first place in interest, the Kiwanis club entertained. its members yester- day with an hour and half of ad- dresses, making and songs. A large attendance was present and the program was conducted with an amount of pep which made every moment an entertaining one.
 Riee's talk began with a descrip- ton Of his visiting the jail. where he met 35 gentlemen who were de- tainetl by various forms of business. ' He talked with many of these. and during the time he was in the jail he took occasion to examine condi- tions there thoroughly. The food he declared, was abominable. there are not beds nor chairs for the prison CTS, and there is prohibition against the introduction of papers and maga- zines. There is only one lavatory for - the prisoners. and one window admits light and air.
 "The holes in Siberia to which po- ntical prisoners were sentenced by the old Russian regime were not as bad as the Phoenix city iail.'' Rice declared. Responsibility for the conditions obtaining in this jail de- bends on all of us, and it is up to us as citizens of this community to seek a readjustment of the situa- tion."
 When Rice had brought his talk to a close President Royal W. Lescher explained that in the new city plans, which are expected to be completed within a month, there is provision for a modern jail.
