beaten "unmercifully,' Mr.. Will
liams said. and declared that poll
tHs is responsible for the condi-
tions, he charged.
Predicting that within few
years prison camps will be aban-
doned, he recommended establish
ment of a farm for women pris-
oners. training schools for young
prisoners, creation of Just pa
role system, district jails instead OF
county jails, receiving station
through which all prisoners could
be sent and provision for paying
them something for their labor.
The committee met here to hear
reports from its subcommittee and
to decide upon recommendations
to the North Carolina Legislature.
Governor Harvey. when shown
this report last evening. said fnat
he had been in frequent conference
with DR.. Williams. former secretary
of the board of public welfare and
that had reports of cruelty IN

taken.

"that this report is condensation
of general statements, without the
context being given. which context
would probably modify the state
ments materially.
II have no doubt that there are
men wearing chains in different
sections of the state and that men
wear stripes-and am not ayerse
to their SO doing. No doubt there
have been cases of harsh treat
ment of prisoners. But these are
isolated cases.
.1f such conditions were general
they would have been reported -tc
me and I<would have taken q hand
in them Immediately.
My own experience has been
in making Investigations that there
is too much laxity shown in han.d1-
ing prisoners and that they are ex-
tended too many privileges and
liberties.
investigations have been made
of reports of harsh treatment ac-
corded prisoners and they have
been found. at times. to have
been grossly exaggerated.
Il feel that had the conditions
outlined in the report from Green's
boro been general. they would have
been reported to me in the fre-
quent conferences held with DR.
Williams.
Governor Harvey. who is ex-of-

Lausanne. Nov. 90 tBy the As

amusing press conference since the

Gen. Ismet Pasha himself did the
taking. He took a fling at the 9TH

ii declaring that his sense Of honor
il the sacredness of agreement

The KeinaEst foreign minister IS

THAT is: marriage that has ac-

relations with Rassssa -
The general speaks nos English
and but falteringly in French, and

impartial plebiscite there, but
added that Turkey was not seek

He regretted to report that the

ON TECHNICAL POiNT.
Manager Refused to Release Two
Players Who Do Not Now Attend
High School.

The football game scheduled for
this Saturday between the Pleasant
Vile High School eleven and Ham
monitor High School has been can
eelled on a technical point on which
the managers of the teams could not
agree. Physical Director Helfrich of
the Pleasantville High School coincid-
ed with Manager Parsels in cancelling
this game. 1t appears that the Ham
monitor team has two players who
have played in the back field on the
team for five years. They are both
very heavy men, to start with, and
because of theNtime which has elapsed
since they attended High School, the
Pleasantville manager objected to
their playing on a strictly High School
team. The Hammonton manager re-
fused TO release the two men from his
team, so the game was cancelled.
The average weight OF the Ham
monitor team, as it is now made up,
is 1922 pounds as against 146 pounds
for Pleasantville. This, however,

School students put in to replace them
