 The underwater complimented the electrical department upon the type of new installations but was emphatically displeased with condi- tions found in several old Main street buildings visited. Other build ings will be gone over this week and recommendation forwarded to prop crty owners.
 The noticeable drop in building activity in the past few weeks makes it possible for the inspector to begin work anew on inspections of old buildings and he is hopeful that this task can be completed in the next few months.
 During the boom period extend ing practically all through the year 1925 the building department with two building inspectors for several months was similarly handicapped and was unable to carry on regular inspections of old buildings.
 Building Inspector E. J. Hem messy recently reported conditions to be such that a whole week would be required for visits 10 Main street roofs alone, and that one out of every five was probably in need of repair.
 Deputy Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford recently called to the city's attention a serious accident caused by fall over a defective vcranda railing, which would have been avoided had the inspectors time to look over old buildings, he claimed.

THREE DRUGGISTS OUT OF BUSINESS Pharmacy Commission Makes
 Good on Its Threats AFTER WHISKEY SELLERS
Any Found Guilty of Bootlcsging Liquor Will Be Dealt With in Same Manner, no Matter Who It Is, Is Warning Issued.

New Haven, Jan. 20 tP -- Three pharmacists were forced out Of business for the time being today by the state pharmacy commission because of their conviction for vio- lation Of liquor laws.
 Action was brought about by re- vocation Of their licenses granted by the commission, in two in- stances the period being indefinite and in the third temporarily pend- ing the outcome of an appeal from court conviction. The commission met at Hotel Taft to act upon the cases of Joseph To Pinto, Bertram Dexheimer and Joseph Barshoy, each of whom had been in the drug business here for years.
 All Three Convicted
 To Pinto was fined s200 and sent to jail for 30 days. on December 3. Dexheimer was given s400 and Is days on January g, and Barshov was convicted and appeal entered. The last named had denied he was guilty. He appeared personally be- fore the commission today to deny his guilt. If he loses his appeal his license will stand revoked.
 P. J. Garvin, state inspector for the commission, said after the meeting that the same procedure would be followed in dealing with other pharmacists who may be found guilty of violating the prohi- bition laws.
 Identity No Defense
 Mr. Garvin s,e l that "regardless Of who the druggists are, or where they are, if they are found selling liquor without the proper pre- scriptions the commission will re- yoke their licenses.
 Tt is certain that if q drug store is selling whiskey or other spirituous liquors without pre- scriptions they are doing it at the expense of the persons who wish 10 buy liquor legitimately.
 They are bootleggers, pure and simple, and as such have no right to hold pharmacists license.
 The public must be protected

INVESTIGATION
OF ACTIVITIES
In PRISON MINE
COUNTY JURY
DESCRIBES FLAT TOP MINE
AS AN ARMED CAMP In
EVERY RESPECT

BIRMINGHAM, May 19.-De-
scribing Flat Top prison mine as
an armed camp, with life prison
ers in direct change, in a partial
report of its recent investigation,
the Jefferson county grand jury
dclved into other phases today of
its inquiry into the death at Flat
Top of James w. Knox, prisoner.
The report declared it had been
found that three life@term con-
victs as 'monarchs" ruled their
fellow prisoners and inflicted on
them almost unbelievable cruelty.
The principal form of punishment
was the Understandable and un-
supervised" use of the leather
strap, the jury reported although
il was said that prisoners were
sometimes imprisoned for long
periods in dog houses" Three
eases were cited where the men
had received broken limbs or life
time scars from blows of hickory
clubs. The jury was unable TO find
any instance where fioggings were
administered under the direction
of prisoner, but straw bosses
logged eonvicts at will, the report
said.
Hope was expressed that the in
vest cation viii result in some ar
rangement being made whereby
convicts will be employed above
ground in the future.
The jury found that DIR. j. E.
Robbins, the physician at Flat
Top, was present at the mine each
morning when the prisoners went
into work, but left Immediately for
his private practice. Homer An
derson, negro, was left to attend
to the sick, the report declared.
1t revealed that Anderson adj
mitted pumping poison into Knox
body at the direction of his SUI
periors.
