are of an exceedingly high type for this
class of work, the food is good, well
and cleanly prepared and fairly ample:
I ate my own lunch from the prisoners

in the prison and is first class. A lack
of variety is the only real complaint.
II talked to inmates all over the

general appearance of the men speaks
for itself, they are well fed and their
appearance shows 1t. Especially to be
commended is the care OF the tubercular

in the investigation with their routine

would not be held up. b
Judge Instructs Jurors
Judge Audenried, in ordering the
probe now unterS way, instructed the
jurors to investigate conditions both at
Holmesburg and Moyamensing, the two
branches Of the County Prison..
District Attorney Rotan, in discuss
ing conditions at Moyamensing today,
said he was strongly opposed to holding
untried prisoners there.

those awaiting trial with those who
have been convicted Is entirely wrong.
Every person arrested charged with
crime is presumed TO be innocent until
proven otherwise
More. than hve years ago Mr.. Rotan
had bill introduced in the Legislature
calling for the construction of n House
Of Detention where persons taken into
custody could be held pending DISPOSE
tion of the trials.
The bill was presented by Assistant
DlStrlct Attorney MaurlCe Sptiser, dt
that time member of the Legislature,
after Mr.. Speisser ana Judge James
Gay Gordon, Jr., who then was one of
Mr.. Rotan's assistants, had made an
inspection Of the Tombs Prison in New
York and had reported their findings
TO the District Attorney.
Conditions which five years ago
caused the District Attorney to intro
duce this bill have not improved.

fined in the Moyamensing Prison con-
vinced mn that House of Detention
was needed for this county said Mr..
Rotan. 80 / drafted the bill. Then
I went to Harrisburg and fought for
the passage of the measure
Then Moyamensing Prison was dis
cussed and after the conditions exist
ing there had been compared with con-
ditions in other prisons the bill was
drafted and passed. But in the course
of the fight that was made before the
bill authorizing new house of deten-
ton finally became law the word

In Nthe original draft the wording

United States Protest Brings

RUSSIA IN DEFIANT MOOD

Lausanne, Dec. 12.--The protest Of
the United States against the Turkish
Nationalists' announced plan Of de-
norting the Greek colony from Con
stantinople has borne fruit.
The Turkish delegates on the sub.
commission Of the Near East confer.
snce devoted to the exchange Of mi.
rority populations announced today
that Turkey was rendy in principle,
and under specified conditions to allow
the Greeks to remain.
MARQUIS Curzon, British Foreign Sec
retary, made an appeal before the Ter.
ritorial and Military Commission of the
Near East Conference this afternoon
for the establishment Of an Armenian n
national home in Asia Minor and tho
mutual protection of the Christian and
Moslem populations in Turkey and
Greece.
IN add his remarks to those of Lord
Curzon on behalf of the minority popu :
lations.
The debate between Turkey and Greece
over the question Of which nation Is re L.
sponsible for the tragedy Of Smyrna con :
tinues to form dominant issue Mt the
Nenr East Conference. Ismet Pasha says
he Is quite willing that the treaty which
the delegates hope to frame shall provide
for a system Of payment to the allied
nations for the damages their nationals
suffered in Turkey during the great war,
but that. on the other hand. he will in :
sIst upon reimbursement by Greece for
the losses sustained by tho Turks in
Asia Minor at the hands of the retreat
ing Greek Army.
Former Premier Venizelos insists that
the Greeks burned only through mill
tary necessity. He declared that the
real crime of the Asia Minor campaign
was the action Of the Turkish troops
in outraglng ard shooting Greek resi-
dents, sacking homes and deporting
hundreds of thousands of destitute
human beings.
Greece. NJ. Venizelos says he will pre-.
sent bill for the horrors and injustice
suffered by the Greeks.
The question of the Ottoman debt is
developing as danger point in the
negotiations and the bitter Turkish

something more than a question Of

Of the whole problem exceedingly diff

les that ought to be remedicd. Where
there's a will there's q. way
Mrs. Laura Lundy, Of Westhampton
township, echoed Mrs. Letford's views.
It was Mrs. Elizabeth Conover. ei
Delran, who sagely observed that men
dreaded woman's intuition and espe.
cially her direct thinking apparatu,
when it came to judging the innocence
or guilt Of member Of her own sex.
Attention Was called to the fact thnt
women are particularly unpopular as
iurymen in the Burlington County
Courthouse and excluded especially from
cases where liquor issues are in ques i
tion.
Mrs. Conover and Mrs. Ella 8. Bill
lingham were the only two women
sworn in to answer the challenge ques-
tons" yesterday. The other women
were excused one by one under the
general agreement.
II should have liked to serve II there
had been other women on the jury, y
Mrs. Conover said.
Mrs. Billingham advanced that the
room ut all was an empty honor and
rather in the nature Of Mrs. Felton's
seat in the Senate"
n Hint at Future
1T seemed foolish to go to all the
expense Of bringing us there" she said,
"and then to send us off without even
asking our consent. Perhaps some day
women will be more up on the ms and
outs of manoeuvering and then 1t will
be different.
The women, however, on the whole
were good natured about the affair and
some seemed glad Of chance to es-
cape.
my feelings weren't hurt" was tho
way Mrs. Frances Van Solver, of Bev-
erly, put it, "only I wouldn't like 1t
to happen every time"
Rumors were rife among some that
efforts had been made to look up the
women before they were summoned to
the court house. The reason given in
court for the barring of the women was
that the trial was apt to last two
weeks.

"A travesty on giving women the

to the fact that there were inadequate

Handed Gold Brick
The concensus of the grenter number
OF the hfteen women barred from the
jury box was that although none was
anxious to serve on account of the ma

Statement to the Public

The State wide prison improvements
DR.. Badly has in mind were made pub
lie in state he issued. 1t follows :
"The citizens Of Philadelphia and
of the State should not misunderstood
the significance of the letter sent BY
me to the board Of inspectors of the
Philadelphia county prison.
1T is admittedly fact that in any
reform movement men move slowly and
wish to be shown: especially is this
so on account of the activity of the
dreamers and extremists. This is not
an unwise thing and all due allowance
should be entertained for those who do
not see the true light as quickly as
may others. otherwise the pendulum
would often swing too far.
1T must be borne in mind that
criminals are not angels, are not board.
ing at summer resort and most often
do get all that is justly coming to
them. No board should be condemned
for moving with caution in dealing with
such men. Applying this to the pres
ent situation, Philadelphians, if they
judge too hastily. will destroy con.
tidence in the best prison / personally
have ever seen. an institution concern
ing which they have every reason and
are amply justified in feeling pride.
Wy communication to the Board of
Inspectors speaks for itself, but I wish
to emphasize the fact that when those
reforms are Instituted, the Holmesbure
prison will be far ahead of any other
with which | am familiar, excepting in
one respect-work. At the present time
the prison employs but one third of its
inmates. This is in no way to be at.
tributed to the Board of Inspectors.
The remedy lies with the Council.
There is ample space to add suf
ficient number of shops in which to
occupy every man in the prison. Ale
ghcny County has far outstripped
Philadelphia County in this respect.
Every man in the county branch at
Blawnox has occupation. in consc-
Quencc of which the county reups a rich
profit IN dollars and cents.
"Phiadelphia pays the full upkeep
out Of the taxpayers money. If suf-
tcient pressure should be brought to
bear on Council to furnish the funds
for shops Philadelphia will have the
model prison of the country and will
have fewer taxes to pay.

NENANA VOTERS IN FAVOR
 OF ACQUIRING UTILITIES

The special election held in Ne mana on Thursday for the purpose of ascertaining the views of voters on the question of municipal own .ership of public utilities, resulted in the expression of a very decisive sentiment in favor of the propos- tion. only eight votes being cast against the question at issue. Tue total number voting, however, indt- cated a lack of interest on the part of those entitled to vote, only SS going to the polls to register their preference.
 The result of the election will be communicated to Col. Mears, immed- lately in order that no time may be lost in formulating plans for the acquisition and installation of a power plant to be owned and Oper- ated by the city. Col Mears has already offered to provide such a plant, set up and ready for opertaiOn for a small initial payment, the re- mainder of the cost to be paid an nually in easy payments.
 The members of the council will endeavor to arrive at a definite plan shortly, and the public will be kept fully informed regarding the progress made.

Al meeting of tNe Seward Cham ber Of Commerce yesterday a con. tract was let to Eric Nelson to con struct the trail from Seward to Spruce creek. a distance of probably three miles, for a consideration of $500. the work To be started immed- lately.
 The subscription list was started by a donation by II. v. Hoben for $50. other subscriptions being the Seward HoreI $25: Wayne Blue $I0H H. E. Ellsworth. S25: while other members expressed their intention to subscribe various amounts.
 A committee consisting of F. E. Ellsworth and Claude Mathtson was named to supervise the work and as- sfst in raising funds for the enter prise.
 At meeting of the city council last night. the Town subscribed Sl0O to be expended within it's boundaries It is apprghended that there will be no trouble in securing the remainder of the fund.
 This trail will give immediate ac- cess to one of the largest live gla- ctars on tta coast. a foot trail allow ing pedestrians -o reach the foot Of tine ice pack by an easy gradient Al ter reaching the field, dogs and sleds may be used to take tourists for miles upon it's surface, there being no danger from crevasscs as in sur rounding glaciers.
