MaiD-One of the most remarkable
and notorious characters in Russia
is a Russian German named Nicholas
Shuman, who Is called the Commits
sar of Death" by the natives Of
Georgia. He derives this sinister
title from the fact that for long
time he was the official eXecutioner
of the dreaded Cheka in southern
Russia. His victims ran into the
thousands.
Shuman is now remorSeful for all
the heads he has cleaved. and has
turned from human butchering to
rug selling in the baZaars of Tifis.
He may be seen any day hawking his
wares to American or other foreign
visitors to the Georgian capital. He
Is easily identified by the natives by
the fact that his harsh. determined
face is marked by deep scar, the
result of violent attack made upon
him with huge iron spike by an
aggrieved Georgian whose friends
Shuman had put to death.
"T killed these people, said Shu-
man to the correspondent, because
it was my duty as official execu-
toner for the government to do so.

Charities Report
On Knox Co. Jail

1.-THE Board Of Charities and Cor
rections is interested in the inteIii-
gent and humane treatment Of pris.
oners and in their reformation and
uplifting through a betterment OF
their surroundings and conditions,
says the report Of the board regard
ing an inspection Of the Knox county
tail at Rockland, made Oct. 9.
The following recommendations are
submitted for careful consideration
of the officials in charge Of the fnsti-
tuition:
"A laundry should be equipped with
necessary machinery. Such equip
ment would enable the administra-
ton to keep the prisoners absolutely
clean in their clothing and would
eliminate the present expensive
method of having the clothing wash
ed at the steam laundry.
10 Every person received at the fail.
whether under sentence or awaiting
trial. should be required to change
his clothes for a prison uniform.
Everything should be done to pro-
mote personal cleanliness. He should
be given a very careful physical ex-
animation before he Is permitted to
mingle with other prisoners.
zach, cell should be equipped
with a movable cot bed with spring,
stool and n box for the prisoners
belongings. The bedding should con-
sist of a mattress. pillow, sheets and
necessary blankets.
Some method should be devised
by which the prisoners would have
more and better light in their cells.
Some arrangement. even il a tenn
porary one, should be made which
would permit the prisoners to eat
their meals outside Of the cell blocks
EVERY effort should be made 10
overcome the association in idleness
and the unrestrained communication
of prisoners confined in the county
Jail. Academic training and voca-
tional training would undoubtedly
solve the problems presented by de-
terioration by idleness and vicious
co-mingling.'
