Judge Anderson is the oldest member of the supreme court In point of service. being elected an associate justice and being elevated to chief justice on the retirement of Chief Justice j. R. Dowdell. He was reelected chief justice. Mir Lynne was a prominent figure in the sessions of the legis- lature of 1919, 1920 and 1921, being elected speaker of the house in 1920 as the successor of Henry ?. Mer- ritt, who retired to become a member of the court of appeals. MT. Lynne also has been prominent figure in political life. having served one term as a member of the state senate.

Morgan of Montgomery. who is in his first state campaign, but who has been a prominent figure among travelling salesmen and business or gantzations for many years; Berto Johnson of Montgomery, another new entrant Into state politics, now member of the board of revenue of Montgomery county and we'll known worker among fraternai and other secret organizations; John F. Pearson of Montgomery, merchadise broker and a man who has been identified with business interests of Alabama for several years.
 Two candidates seek the office of state treasurer, George ". Ellis of Montgomery and c. c. Brown of Scale. Mir. Ellis, now chief clerk in the treasury department, served one term as state treasurer and for years was chief clerk In the depart mont. He ran for treasurer last time and when R. l.. Bradley was elected Mir. Bradley requested him to re- turn to the department as chief clerk. MT. Brown Is now county treasurer of Russell county. This Is his first activity in state politics as candidate.
 Four Candidates
 Commissioner of agriculture has developed four candidates. James M Moore of Fayette has been supervi- sor of the division of foods, feeds and drugs of tho agricultural department during two administrations. He was member of the legislature in 1915 as the representative of Fayette county. J. A. Wade of Vincent was commissioner of agriculture from 1915 to 1919, this being his first state political office. Judge John B. Ward Of Abbeyille has never held a statn office but he has been prtEate judge of Henry county. represented his county In the legislature of 1915 and has taken an active part In politics of southeast Alabama for many years. Robert l.. Scale of Livingston, the fourth candidate. has served a number of terms as a member of the legislature Is now a member of the house for Sumter county and has taken leading part In political ac- tivities for several years.
 Anderson and Lynne
 The race for membership on the supreme court and court of appeals naturally comes last among the posi- tions for which opposition has de- veloped because the public mind does not interlink the appellate courts with the ordinary political cam paigns. There are two candidates fo

those who have been of no service to the state. It was the only prison of the state for many years and it ceased to be the concentration camp and main prison only during the administration of Governor Kilby.
 Modern Building
 Plans for the renovation and re- construction of the prison for the women call for the destruction of the relic of darker days, the system of inside cells builded in solid brick walls and into which the sunlish never crept, cells which were sans ventilation, sans sanitation and sans everything but solitude. With these cells will go the whipping post, which has stood at the entrance of this compartment since the prison building was constructed. Alabama has no further use for these cells because the state long since aban- doned them as places of confinement and Governor Kilby and prison of ficials look up them as reminders of barbarian rather than as reminders of what citizens of Alabama re- sarded as proper punishment of con victs less than 100 years ago.
 A two story brick building which has stood in the middle of the cam pus within the walls will be used for the white women. It will be large enough to care for 50 or more, but 1t is improbable that the time will come in this century when that many white women will be behind prison bars. At this time there are ntne white women at Speigner.
 Negro Women Housed
 The barracks which have been used for negro men will be renovated and will be used for negro women. This building Is four stories in height and each story can care for 50 pris- oners. The state penitentiary now has only 12s negro women and 1t will be many days before the quar- ters will be filled.
 A complete hospital will be main- tained within the walls of the prison, and there will be sewing rooms where the present hospital is located. At present the white women are used in the sewing room at Speigner. where uniforms are made for convicts. This feature of prison wvrx will be made more important when the women are moved to Wetumpka.
 Nation Attracted
 The state tuberculosis hospital will remain at wetumpka. It was con- structed by the convict department several years ago on an elevation across the street from the main prison. The success of this institution has attracted attention throughout the United States, prison officials of other states have inspected 1t while one person connected with the state health department not many months ago declared that this is the only state tubercular sanitarium In Ala bama, and that one must break into prison If he would be treated for tu- berculosis by the state.
 When the work on the Wetumpka prison has been completed and the women have been moved from Spelg ner. the task of destroying the pres ent buildings at Speigner will be started. Governor Kilby today de-

KIIby Announces Drastic Change in Prison Units After Inspection of Institutions.
 Women Segregated
By FRED H. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-HeraId, 921-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, July S.-(Special.) ) Every unit of the old system of prison barracks at Speigner will be razed and new buildings win take their places before January 1; all women convicts of the state will be moved during the next 90 days to the prison at Wetumpka from Speigner and henceforth the buildings at We tumpka, erected in 1889, and the first unit of the state's penitentiary, will be used exclusively for the fe- male unfortunates.
 These facts became known today on the return of Governor Kilby. William F. Feagin. state warden gem eral, and ". A. Darden, secretary to the governor. from a trip of inspec- ton of state institutions. During the absence of tho state officials they inspected the state prisons at Flat Top. Banner. Belle Ellen.

 Women to Themselves
 Not only will the women have . prison to themselves, but they will be under the supervision of woman superintendent. who has already beon appointed and who is now head of the women's department at Speigner. She is Mrs. Sara E. Kirkpatrick of Montgomery, formerly a citizen of Andalusia, Covington county, but for seven or more years citizen of Montgomery.
 Mrs. Kirkpatrick was named by Warden General Feagin several days ago but no annuncement of tho ap- pointment was made until final plans had been made.
 For several years the prison at we- tumpka has housed the cripples and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-07-09

clared that only one building will be left standing. It Is the hospital erect ed about 20 years ago, which Is still In good condition. This is the only brick building at the Speigner prison.
 Speigner has been condemned by every Investigating committee which has visited the prison in recent yearA However, up to this time the state has not been financially able to con- struct new buildings. The plan or the state Is to construct wooden bar racks on the site of the-women's prison. Permanent buildings will not be constructed because prison off cisls and Governor Kilby believe Speigner prison and cotton mills will be abandoned by the state when Kilby prison Is in full operation, and the state is able to add one or more units to the new cotton mill of 10000 spindles now being constructed.
 State Products
 Much of the. lumber which will be used in the Speigner barracks will come from the state lands. Sawmills were constructed at Speigner and Kilby prison several months ago and have been operated with state labor. ing Kilby prison used in construo- ing iKlby prison was obtained from state lands and the supply has not been exhausted.
 The new buildings will care for 400 male conyiets, who will be used in operating the Speigner cotton min. However, 1t Is improbable that as many men will be maintained at this prison, as the mill can be operated day and night with fewer men.
 Governor Kilby has let 1t be known that all construction work be- ing done by the state must be com pleted by the end of the year. His term will expire the middle of Janu- ary and he has informed state of ficials that all responsibilities on this administration should be met by this administration and nothing should be shifted to the next administration.
