MEN N'.,WHIPPED
 AT PRISON MINE,
 SAYS ARLINGTON
BirIningham Man Com plains Of Conditions At
 Flat Top
Cstate Capital Bureau,)

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Aug. 12.- James l.. Arlington, of Birmingham, made the charge that conyicts are being mistreated and whipped at Flat Top mines, in letter received by the Mont gomery Journal today. Mir. Arlington communication was in commendation of the demand of the Journal that a com mittee of disinterested citizens be per mitted to make a thorough investigation of the charges of mistreatment which were made by convicts confined at River Falls. Mir. Arlington also declared that Fred Hall, who wrote letter de nying the statement of the convicts, is favored prisoner and does not eat or sleep with other convicts and that those who signed the latter with him "were tricked" into doing it.
 MT. Arlington's statement follows:
 T want to pass favorable comment on your editorials appearing in the diff fereht issues of your valuable paper, demanding anInvestigation into prison conditions of our great state.
 Referring to the letter written by Fred Hall, convict at River Falls, in which he praised the officials and con- ditions, I trust that his statement is true.
 q have straight information that Fred Hall is a pet of the officials, does not eat or sleep with the other convicts, and that the other names signed to the letter regarding conditions at River Falls were signed by conyicts who were tricked into doing it. xe
 When Hali was home on a tempo rary parole last year, he complaingd to friends, saying prison conditions were very bad and that lie had not had a de cent cup of coffee since being in prison. Conditions must have changed since then, according to his two statements.
 T happen to know that convicts are being whipped and brutally treated at Flat Top mines, so why could not such conditions exist at River Falls?
 T trust that. our great state will never have the stain upon it's name that was placed upon Florida last year.
 T am in sympathy with the prisoners and in favor of the investigation which the Journal has demanded and I hope you will continue to demand justice until your purpose is accomplished"

SILHOUETTES OF STATE CAPITOL
(State Capital Bureau)


 MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 12.- The governors outer office was turned into 2 hastily impfovised nursery again today. The state pardon board was in session across the hall, and the outer room of the governors suite was used, in accordance with the custom, as a parking place for youngsters brought in as exhibits to show why papa Should be paroled. Infants of various ages and sizes crawled over the floor, played and laughed, cried and had their hunger satiated just as though they were back home.
 Poorly clad and worn looking moth- CTS were to be seen, having come with their children to present cases to the board. The sight at the capitol when the pardon board is in session makes a law providing allowances for a con vict's dependents look logical.
 Today was not a regular session of the board, the regular meeting having been postponed to August 26, owing to absence of the chairman of the board, Attorney General Harwell 0. Davis, who is at Camp Mcclellan, Neyerthe- less, although notice had been given of the postponement, so many petitioners came in that Secretary of State s. H. Blan and Auditor w. B.

 Women players give the cheating gamblers pain. A woman, they say. will lose a little money with equanimity, but she will not lose a lot without emit. ting an elaborate and reverberatink squawk. When the male sucker sus- poets he has been strimmed he does moi want to admit that he has been fool. The woman is not bothered by such considerations. She wants her money back.
 The fishermen have found it necessary to, progress with the times. Once it was only necessary to get on board a steamer. They might stage q playlet with an English lord or a western rancher in Nthe leading role. Now adays they plug up holes through which the wind of suspicion might blow.
 One gang carries an automobile on board the steamer" I am told.
 They use it on the other side too. but its chief purpose is to be shown on board the boat. Somehow, the fact that man is travelling with his own car rubs out any .dawning doubt in the mind of the customer.
 The less ostentatious card sharks de. pend on carefully built up personalities. They represent themselves as buyers in the millinery or some other line. Many really are buyers. The others have friends in business who answer for them. The farther west the bugi- ness is located the stronger the shield.
