GROTTO USES
COUNTY JAIL
AT INITIATION

Inside wardens and prisoners in
the county Jail acted as hosts Tues
day to a class of approximately 20
initiates in the Kamram Grotton,
their incarceration being part of the
initiation ceremonies.
The new inmates received no spe-
cial consideration by virtue of be
ing innocent of the crimes charged
to most prisoners lodged in the jail.
Older members of the, order pro-
vided themselves with handouts and
made the arrests" in all parts of
the city. Most of their prisoners
submitted without struggle and
readily adapted themselves to prison
life. Their friends were permitted
to see and talk with them at the well
known screen, the only point Of con-
tact prisoners have with the out
side world.
The entire class was "pardoned"
early in the afternoon, after having
eaten lunch with the regular pris-
Oners. and permitted to attend the
regular initiation of candidates in
the Masonic temple.

sides will accommodate more people,
