OFFICER ADMITS
PRISON CRUELTY
Crowding, Clubbingand
Starvation Made Revolt

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14.--Ad-
mission that ruthless overcrowding
of prisoners had something to do
with" the revolt in the county prison
at Holmsburg which lasted until
suppressed with poison tear gas yes
terday, was made today by District
Attorney Monaghan.
At the same time, a half admis-
sion was made by the prosecutor
that more serious crimes against the
helpless prisoners might have been
committed by brutal guards.
II do not know that any i'll treat
ment of prisoners had anything to
do with the outbreak" the prosecu-
tor said tonight. II have always
been opposed to the practice of beat
ing -isoners and other forms of
mistreatment."
Let Beating Continue.
In spite of the prosecutors self
claimed Opposition" to brutal treat
ment, prisoners charge that he al
lowed such practices to continue
without interruption until a mass
mutiny forced the facts out into the
open.
The main reason for the uprising
was that the rotten food provided
by contractors whom the prisoners
declare ere getting a graft rake-off
from even the inadequate money
apportioned to feeding the prisoners.
The prison was built to accomo-
date about 1900 and now has 1,700
in it.

face and upper part of his body, and
Miss Pearl w onderlich, one of his two
girl companions received Slight acid
burns while Miss Helen Hobart, the
other girl, was slightly scratched and
bruised, when their car was wrecked
Wednesday forenoon on the Yakima
road between White Bluffs and Cold
Creek. All three of the parties live
in Spokane and were on their way
home from Mckee where they had
been working in the fruit harvest.
Everett Meeks of Hanford came
along shortly after the accident and
took the two girls to the hospital in
Yakima but left young Cowan who
insisted he was not badly hurt. A
half hour later, however, when G. S.
Harrington of White Bluffs arrived on
the scene the young man was persuad-
ed to accompany him to Yakima and
is also in the hospital there.
! None of the three could explain the
cause of the accident but tits thought
to have been due to loose gravel in the
road or to the breaking of some part
of the steering apparatus. The car
was badly wrecked and was towed to

BUYS WELL DRILL

w. p. Steadman has purchased a
well drilling outfit in Yakima that he
expects to use in helping to put down
some Of the numerous wells being
planned around White Bluffs this
winter. Mr.. Steadman says that he
has contracts for a half a dozen wells
under consideration and that he plans
to bring the drill over from Yakima
the first Of next week. He also said
the drill was capable of sinking IL
inch hole 1900 feet or more and that
sooner or later he expected to try for
artesian water which he belives will
be found at depth Of seven or eight
hundred feet The drill, he says, can
also be used in sinking deeper some
of the wells now in use where the
supply of water may not be sufficient.

STEAM WHISTLE TELLS TIME

The curiosity of nearly every one
in White Bluffs was aroused the first
Of the week on hearing a whistle that
was unlike either a train or autormo-
bile AS these blasts occurred at
regular intervals throughout the day,
at ssven o'clock in the morning, at
noon, at one p. m. and at six in the
evening, this curiosity was further
aroused. An investigation disclosed
that the whistle was coming from the
White Bluffs Warehouse where Irvy
Wright had installed an attachment
on the boiler used for heating water
for the apple washing machine. The
blasts indicate the starting and quit
ting time Of the warehouse crew, and
incidentally cali the attention OF every
cae else to the time os day

A warning from Sheriff James
Shepard to Deputy Sheriff Clate Gre
well to arrest any ono found commit
ting depredations, was undoubtedly
the cause Of White Bluffs having this
year one of the most satisfactory
Hallowe ems in it's history. The warn
ing came by telephone during the
day and was relayed around town
and through the schools. One or two
small groups Of youngsters ventured
out, after being told by Mr.. Gre
well that unless they went home at
once he would place them under ar
rest, they dispersed.
