Governor's Investigator Asserts That Cells Drip With Moisture and Are Infected With Vermin—Morals the Worst Graft—Graft and Waste Alleged—Colonel Scott Flayed. Albany—"Stories of torture of prisoners in the middle ages sound like descriptions of luxuries in comparison to the tales that have been told me of the lives that some of the prisoners in Sing Sing live." This indictment of New York state's oldest penal institution is embodied in the report made by George W. Blake in New York, a special commissioner of the prisoner Senior Sulzer to investigate prison affair. The worst feature—that dealing with the morals of the convicts—Mr. Blake says cannot be discussed in a public document, but should be called to the immediate attention of those competent to deal with the situation. The investigator describes conditions as "frightful." The prison cells, he says, are dark, small, damp, fliby and infested with vermin. In them men contract rheumatism and go out crippled for life. Into none of the cells on the lower tiers has a ray of sunshine entered for eighty years. The report appears with a bitter attack on Warden Kennedy and on Colonel Joseph F. Scott, who was removed as superintendent of state prisons by Governor Sulzer after he had refused to appoint Charles F. Rattigan warden of Photo by American Press Association. COLONEL JOSEPH W. SCOTT Auburn prison. Colonel Scott was appointed superintendent of prisons after a successful administration, covering more than ten years, of the affairs of the Elimra reformatory. He was considered one of the foremost penologists in the country. President Taft summoned Colonel Scott to Washington to preside over the international conference on prison reform held there two years ago. Mr. Blake in his report assails Colonel Scott bitterly and satify that he has done nothing to earn his reputation. Mr. Blake asserts that because of influence exerted by men well known in various walks of life money has been wrung from persons seeking clemency for prisoners, but in some cases the favors bought were "not delivered." The commissary department of the prison, according to Mr. Blake, "is run long incompetent if not selfishly long inimaginable if not downtowrift grafting. Signs that this is the case stick out as plentifully as quills on the back of a frightened porcupine." John S. Kennedy, warden of Sing Sing, is charged by Mr. Blake with having violated the law. "He has permitted the creation and continuance of unbusnesslike methods," says the report, "and has caused the state to lose thousands of dollars to that points directly to graft. He has made no attempt to protect the inmates from disease and vice nor any effort to produce better conditions in this prison." Mr. Blake says he was told stories, amply corroborated, of such frightful character as to appeal to the most unfeeling person. The cells on the ground floor, he says, drip with moisture, so that the inmates in many cases have become victims of chronic rheumatism. Many pages of the report are devoted to a criticism of the industrial department of the prison. Mr. Blake says that there has been a constant decrease in the profits, which have dropped from $70,749 in the first six months of 1912, to $0,002 in the first six months of 1912. In the course of his investigation of the commissary department of the prison, Mr. Blake says that, according to the records, 469 pounds of beef went to Warden Kennedy's table during the mouth of March. Commenting generally on the conduct of this department of the prison, Mr. Blake says he found enormous waste, while the prisoners, as a rule, were underfed. INCREASE IN FOOD ANIMALS. Number Killed in United States Durin the Fires Yosemite 57.698.491 ing the Fiscal Year 57,628,491. Washington—Reports to the department of agriculture show that in the fiscal year ended June 30 last 57,628,491 animals were slaughtered under federal inspection in the 790 slaughtering establishments in 225 cities and towns of the United States—an increase of nearly 5,000,000 over the previous year. Of the animals inspected by federal officials in the last fiscal year, 1,047,935 cattle, 2,277,054 calves, 14,979,354 sheep, 72,871 goats and 33,052,727 hogs. Slaughtering establishments and meat food factories increased from 919 to 940 in the fiscal year. Chicago, with 12,919,500 animals slaughtered under federal inspection, leads in numbers. The other principal points of federally inspected slaughter are in the following order: Kansas City, 5,464,161; South Omaha, 4,609,655; New York, 3,034,845; national stock yards East St. Louis, 2,906,292; South St. Joseph, 2,671,443; Boston, 1,820,644; Indianapolis, 5,983,509; Sioux City, 1,529,067; Buffalo, 1,381,271. The major condemnations at the time of slaughtering were numbered 223,987 whole carcasses and 494,325 parts of other carcasses, or a total of 727,015 condemnations. In addition, nearly 18,000 pounds of prepared meats and meat products were condemned on inspection because they had become unwholesome subsequent to the first inspection. COOK STOVES FOR P003. Bequest of $10,000 fifty-nine Years Ago Will Be Looked Up. Boston.—A hearing on a petition under the will of Thomas W. Sweetser, who died fifty-nine years ago, will be given in the Essay probate court, when an unusual provision—that of providing the poor of Salem with cook stoves—will get close attention. The will stipulated that $10,000 be paid to his native city, that this be put on interest at 6 per cent forever and that $600 be spent annually in buying stoves and utensils for the poor if his estate amounted to $30,000 or more. Trustees to be elected must supervise the administration of the charity and must keep on hand a supply of stoves of different sizes. Then, too, the trustees must keep on hand enough pipes for all the stoves. If the will was made public fifty-nine years ago no official notice was taken, and the gift was forgotten. JINX IS DISCOVERED IN GERMAN'S CLOCK Struck Thirteen on Friday and Brought Much Bad Luck. Amite City, La.-George Zollenburg returned to his new home this city after another ineffectual attempt to have the jinx taken out of his grand-father's clock. The ancient timepiece is to blame for a long train of misfortunes that started Friday, June 13, 1913. The following details have been supplied by Mr. Zollenburg: the country to which Mr. Zollenburg from the fatherland. The old time had never missed a tick or let a second slip by unrecorded until noon on that fatal Friday. While waiting for dinner Zollenburg was surprised and alarmed to hear the old helploom strike thirteen times for noon. "You'd better take that to some clock mender in Hammond," said the watch fixer, and he put his hand behind him as though the old timepiece were hot. Zollenburg took the clock to Hammond and, not wishing to have it fixed there, he folded the jewels there about its having struck thirteen. Neither of the Hammond clocksmiths had touched the hoodoo with a fishing pole. Since then Zollenburg has taken the clock to every expert near here, only to have the job declined. That is not all. Here are a few of the things that have happened since, for which he blames the clock: His rich mother-in-law departed this life back in Germany without leaving him a red pleung. He was with a limp) deserted her nest after sitting patient for two and a half weeks on thoroughbred Cochin china eggs. His hired girl eloped with his best stable hand. Twelve kittens fell in a well near his home and were drowned. His brindle cow Boss gave birth to triplets, all of which were black as coal dust and males. PLANS FOR CELEBRATION. American Committee Will Erect United States-Canadian Memorial Arch. Duluth, Minn. The American committee in charge of the celebration of 100 years of peace between English speaking peoples is planning a United States-Canada memorial arch or bridge as a feature of the event. The "bridge will be located at the park entrance south and St. Vincent street will join the road to Winnipeg. It will be so placed as to command the junction of both roads with a road leading through North Dakota and South Dakota. A great lakes demonstration, participated in by ships of the United States and Canada, also is planned.

CITIZENS ICE & FUEL COMPANY CITIZENS ICE & FUEL COMPANY Ice House of Citizens Ice and Fuel Company on Lake Vadnais. Now in Course of Construction $50,000 Citizens Ice and Fuel Company This company offers $50,000 of its Capital Stock, per value $50 per share, for immediate delivery. Applications received for share reservations at the offices of the company, No. 8 West Fourth street, St. Paul, Minn., beginning January 2, 1914. Subscriptions will be accepted for one or more shares payable in five installments. The authorized Capital Stock of the Citizens Ice and Fuel company is $500,000. It is the aim and purpose of this company to give the St. Paul investing public the first opportunity of taking advantage of its share offerings and it now invites public subscription to this block of stock. This issue is made to provide for the completion of our ice houses and the purchase of additional equipment, such as horses, wagons, trucks, etc. The Citizens Ice and Fuel company is an independent St. Paul company which has now been in existence about three months. Its business is dealing in Ice and Fuel—two very important public necessities. It has a twenty-year franchise from the City of St. Paul, which gives it the exclusive right to harvest its ice on Lake Vadnais, owned by the City of St. Paul. The harvesting of ice from this lake is under the supervision of the City Water and Health departments, thus insuring absolutely pure ice to the consumer at a nonprohibitive price. There is room and necessity for a competitive ice company in St. Paul. The Citizens Ice and Fuel company is founded and run on sound business principles. It is now constructing one of the main ice houses at Lake Vadnais and will have all necessary storage facilities complete in good season for this year's ice harvest. The Citizens Ice and Fuel company took over the business of the Womack-Fooshe Coal company, October 1st, 1913. The Fuel department is gaining in volume of business every day. The company owns a block of property in the rear of the plant of the White Enamel Refrigerator company, having a frontage of 487 feet on spur track of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, which is to be converted into a coal yard April 1st, 1914; ice house, stable and lots at corner Dale and Maryland streets; a block of twenty lots, corner Caurndel and Stinson streets; coal yards at Como avenue and Elfelt streets; is building an ice storage house at Lake Vadnais 350 feet by 150 feet; owns a twenty-year franchise on Lake Vadnais. The ice season is practically but six months and the coal business six months. As this company combines the sale and delivery of fuel with its ice business, it gives it an active business throughout the year, thereby eliminating waste expense due to idle seasons. The Fuel department is doing a profitable business and we have already started regular deliveries of ice. By reason of the necessity arising for an additional city ice service and the interest taken by leading citizens and Federated Women leagues of St. Paul—who are buyers of both ice and fuel—the Citizens Ice and Fuel company's policy has been to place its shares in small blocks with local investors. This means that every shareholder is directly interested in the welfare of this corporation and automatically helps to place the stock on a good dividend-paying basis. Statistics collected show that public service corporations are the safest and best paying investments now offered the public. The Citizens Ice and Fuel company, in offering its stock, which is all "Common" and equal, knows that this is an exceptional opportunity for investors to participate in a sound and permanent investment, sure to yield substantial dividends. If you are a bank depositor your money earns from 3% to 4%. Do you realize that an investment where the earning is sure to be more than 6% that it is 50% more than 4% and 100% more than 3%? Do you appreciate that bankers invest in public utility corporations with your money? Why not protect yourself by investing direct, and thus double or treble your income?

TOTAL WEIGHT 1,600 GRAMS Brain of Average Man Weighs Fifty Ounces — Imbeciles' Brains Very Heavy — Japanese Died of Cancer and Willed His Body to Scientists For Examination and Experiment. Tokyo—Dr. Nagayo's examination of the body of the late Prince Katsura discloses that the brain of that great Japanese statesman, who died Oct. 10 weighed slightly more than 1,600 grams. This is about 300 grams heavier than the brain of an average man. The Katsura brain weighed about 51.44 ounces. It was a little lighter than that of Blismack. The examination by Dr. Nagayo showed that Prince Katsura died of cancer, which had spread from his stomach to his liver. He was president of a Japanese society devoted to the PRINCE KATSURA. study of cancer, and he was dissected in accordance with his own request. The widow was present at the post-mortem. The surgeons addressed the spirit of the dead prince before and after the operation. The brain weights of famous men have been as follows: Turglenleff. Russian novelist, seventy-one ounces. Dr. Abercrombie, Scotch physician, sixty-three ounces. General B. F. Butler, American soldier, sixty-two ounces. Thackeryer, novelist; Cuvier, naturalist; Tiffany, fifty-four to fifty-eight and six-tenths ounces. Napoleon, Daniel Webster, Agassiz, American naturalist, fifty to fifty-three and six-tenths ounces. Average man (estimated by Dr. Austin Flint of New York in his "Physiology"); fifty and two-tenths ounces. Average_boy of seven, forty-five and nine-tenths ounces. Leon Gambetta, great French statesman, forty and nine-tenth ounces. Inbecibles brains may weigh over eight ounces. Had a brain of seventy-eight ounces. BONDS OF RECLUSE FOUND.

Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir ‘Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for- ward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the Island of Jamaica, where he was gov- ‘ernor for five years, there are about £800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races, Jamaica Is a British colony and. the govern ment Is just. Colored men enjoy ev. ery civil and politcal right which white men have and there is no color line Among over things Sir Sidney said: “My study and comparison of con ditions in the United States and th West Indies,” he said, “has brough me to that conclusion.

Ignorance fs not fnnocence and it ix neceseary that the child should receive instruc tion in purity of living but the in- struction ought to be given by the par ents.

Qualified observers believe that many more colored men voted ‘the Democratic ticket in 1912 ‘than ever before, It was with dismay, therefore, that early in the Administration of Mr Wilson, whose Cabinet is equally divided between Southerners anc Northerners, there became noticeable 4m certain quarters a distinct hostility to the colored people. For along time “no appotutments of Negroes were made by the President. ‘Then he nominated Adam BE. Patterson o Oklahoma for the position of Regis ter of the Treasury, a place long helc by colored men, Patterson's nomina ton was the signal for outbursts from ‘the most violent negrophobes in the Senate; Senators like Hoke Smith of Georgia, Vardaman of Mississippi, ‘Tillman of South Carolina, and others, deciaring that Patterson’ should noi be confirmed, or any other colored man, for an ‘office whieh would -put him ‘over white women clerks. With abject cowardice Patterson rushed to the Wnite House and demanded that his name be. withdrawn. Unwilling ac this time to meet the tasue thus Talsed, Mr. Wilson consented to. his Tequest, unlike Presidents Cleveland and Roosevelt, who, under almilar cir ‘cumstances, put’ the responsibility on the Senate by continuing to nominate the colored candidates for office and by giving them ‘recess appointments when the Senate was not in session Instead, Mr. Wilson appointed a Cher kee Indian as Register. * * * +. © When a group of citizens holds so few Federal offices as do the colored People, each one takes on a signi: cance far beyond any question of the salary or powers that may be attach- ed to it. “This Is particularly true of the posts of Minister to Haytt and /San Domingo, Not one of the stock Southern objections to Negro appoint: ments holds here; these ministers are accredited: to colored people where the bogie of social equality cannot be raised. Under Mr. Wilson. both. of these ‘posts have gone, temporarily, {t is sald, and doubtless for reasons satisfactory to Mr, Bryan, to white men. The colored people at large ac cepted this as notice trom the White House that the remaining offles here tofore given to colored men were to be taken from them. Alarming as this was, on top of it came the startling news that for the rst time Inthe history of the Federal Government [Face prejudice was having ful sing i some of the Departments at Wash: ington. What had not been dreamed jof under Mr. Cleveland, though begun }in one offlee under Mr! Taft, was be ing attempted under Mr. Wlison—the | segregation of Negro clerks, both men and women: It appeared that the Sec etary of the Treasury had planned to put Patterson at the head of an ex clusively colored. division upon. the plea—to use Mr. McAdoo's own words —"that it would give the Negroes an opportunity of national dimensions, tc prove thelr fitness to Tun, unaided by whites, an important bureau of. the | Department.” Just why. thls benef cent undertaking was dropped as soot as it appeared that an Indian and no 4 colored man was to head the divi sion has not appeared; if it had al the merit claimed for St, the colored | people should not have been deprived | of the opportunity of collectively dem onstrating thele-worth, which, in th individual, has’ jong. been known t 1 all -famiiiar: se Government’: operations.

Poorer accommodations for the segre Sated are the invariable law of segre Gation. ‘The assignment of separate tollet-rooms to the races under threats of prompt punishment for failure to obey the rules has been another of the deeply humillating features of the ‘Washington segregation. To the col ored workers all this segregating has been more brutal than a slap inthe faco, It is as it the great Govern ‘ment of the United States had gone ‘out of its way to stamp them public as lepers, as physically and morally eontagious and unfit for assocation ‘with white people. Among them are perhaps veterans of Fort Wagner, of the Crater of Petersburg, and surviy ‘ors of the triumphal mareh into Rich mond of General Godtrey Weitzel’ Diack brigade; certainly brothers and sisters of the black troopers who were 00d enough to die alongside of whit Men in saving the day at San Juan Hill are now learning to know the gratitude of Republics. These colored people who are thus branded are not roustabouts, or cor ner loaters, or worthless laborers ‘They are educated men and women college graduates many of them, from all over the country who have passed thelr civil service examinations an¢ entered the Government's employ with full faith in its justice, asking merely the right to serve on equal terms with their fellows. ‘The readers of The North American Roview will ufderstand the bitter humiliation of the segregation orders if they can im aging themselves set apart as" un worthy by brute authority, but. they can hardly appreciate the added sense of injury which comes trom the fact that this is an act or the Federal Government, ‘The colored people have borne as patiently as the children of Israel bore ther-burdens, the wrongs of distranchisement, the lynchings and burnings of innocent and guilty, the humiliation of the “Sim Grow" ear, the constant personal insults of low whites; these were the acts of individuals or of States lately in re- bellion. But that the Federal Gov- ernment, under whose flag they have fought in every war, under whose aegis they are working, which struck their fetters from their limbs, sluld now take the'side of the oppressors in the year of the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclama- tion—this 1s what hurts and rankles beyond all effe. Is it any wonder that one of the leaders of the race of na- tional renown writes that he has never seen his people so discouraged and so embittered as today? ‘They rightly declare—as must every. fair-minded man. tree from prejudice—that this spells caste. They believe that it is intended to drive them out of the public service by ren- dering it intolerable for Negroes with seltrespect; they assert that one of the Assistant Secretaries of the Treas: ury has already held up the promo. tion of two colored clerks because of their color. Segregation is, beyond doubt, an entering wedge, and here is the chiet signifeance of it all.

The church was filled with those who had come to pay the last tributes of respect to a former resident. The services consisted of prayer by Rev W. C. Pope of the Church of the Good Shepherd; scripture reading by Rev A. H. Lealtad of St. Philips church, and sermon by Rev H. P. Johnson. The choir of the church furnished the music. Mrs. Hattie Loomis-Oliver sang "Face to Face," as solist. Mrs. S. E. Hall presided at the organ. The ritualistic services were conducted by the Household of Ruth after the sermon. Lyles funeral director; interment at Oakland cemetery. The sixth annual ball of Feezan Temple No. 26, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, which was given at Sherman Hall Monday night, was a most delightful event. There was a large crowd of handsome and anatomically gowned ladies and gallant women in full dress suits, and red and white fezzes were very much in evidence. The oasis with its bountiful supply of imported "camel's milk" was one of the most attractive features. The women in the shape of a red fex contained sweet leaves on which the order of dances, committees, etc. were printed. The McCullough Orchestra furnished the music. The committee of arrangements for the splendid affair consisted of Measrs. R. M. Johnson, chairman, W. F. Chandler, W. R. Morris, G. W. Edwards, W. R. Morris, W. F. T. Chandler, F. D. Gamble, C. L.

A Cause of Deafness. Hardened wax in the ear is a very common cause of deafness in middle aged and old people. The following method of removal is both safe and efficient. On cooling a night drop one drop of warm olive oil into the ear and then put in a loose plug of cotton wool. In the morning syringe the ear well with a warm solution of boracic acid, ten grains of the acid to the ounce of hot water. After the syringing put in a fresh plug of cotton wool and leave it in the ear throughout the day to prevent chill. If the ear still feels plugged with wax reagents a process again at night. Above it attempt to scrape out wax with any hard, sharp object, as there is always risk of rupturing the eardrum or setting up chronic inflammation. OATH FOR AFRO-AMERICAN YOUTH. I will never bring disgrace upon my race by any unworthy deed or dishonorable act. I will live a clean, decent, manly life; and will ever respect and defend the virtue and honor of womanhood. I will uphold and obey the justness of my countryside and the country which I live and will encourage others to do likewise: I will not allow prejudice, injustice, insult or outrage to cower my spirit or humilate my soul; but will ever preserve the inner freedom of heart and conscience; but will not allow my self to be overpowered; but will strive to overcome evil with good: I will endeavor to develop and exert the best powers within me for my own personal improvement; and will strive unceasingly to quicken the sense of racial duty and responsibility; I will in all these race so that, to everyone bound by ties of blood, it shall be bound a bond of ennoblement, and not a byword of reproach.

The attendance was not in keeping with the high class program that was offered. There were vocal solos by Mad. Frances De Leo, Mrs. Eunice E. Prewitt and Mildred Shull and Mr. Robert Blackwell; quartette Messrs. Nevels, Underwood, Swain and Bassfield; du by Misses Lillian and Viola Johnson; piano solo by Miss Adina Adams; reading by Mrs. Julia Blackburn. Mrs. Charles Mason, formerly of St. Paul, was on last Monday granted a divorce from her husband in the district court. Lawyer W. T. Francis of St. Paul had charge of the case. The ground of complaint was desertion. Judgment was given by default. The Young Men's Progressive Club is in charge of large time on the evening of Monday at Monica Hall, corner 24th and 58 avenue S., when a progressive whist party, to be followed by a dance, will be given. Three valuable prizes are to be awarded. See ad. elsewhere. This is a little late, but the old adage, "Better late than never," will justify its publication at this time, without further explanation, just to get it on record. The Young Men's Progressive Club gave their First Annual Stag Banquet at the Twin City Stag Club, Wednesday evening, December 17th, 1913.

MINNEAPOLIS MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 19 THE USUAL GOOD TIME --- COMMENTS OF CONTEMPORARIES AND OTHERS. On the Souvenir Edition issued by THE APPEAL Oct. 25th, In Commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Emancipation. Mr. J. Q. Adams, City. My Dear Mr. Adams: I just received a copy of THE APPEAL, issued as a commemorative edition of the fiftieth anniversary of the penning of the emancipation proclamation and the whole paper is so credible to the cause, as well as to the publisher, that I am sending you my hearty congratulations. The colored people of the Twin Cities, as well as of the entire northwest, have reason to feel proud of THE APPEAL and its editorial staff. Yours truly, JULIUS A. SCHMAHL, Secretary of State. The Appeal, of Minneapolis and St. Paul, J. Q. Adams, Editor, arrived at our office this week. It was a special edition, devoted to the Half Century Emancipation Celebration. It was a magnificent product, a triumph of newspaper art and we regret that our many subscribers had not the opportunity of seeing what great accomplishments are being achieved by our people in the newspaper world. We congratulate the editor and staff of "The Appeal."—The Union, Cincinnati, O. SCORES SEGREGATION SCORES SEGREGATION What he does not see is that if only one colored man or woman has been segregated it gives the deliberate lie to Mr. Wilson's promise to advance the interests of the race and violates his pledge of absolute fair dealing. The man who are injuring the President are not the defenders of this Government's reputation for honor and of the rights of the colored people, but those subordinates who by their official actions have made dubious the President's word. Wittingly or unwittingly the Wilson Administration has allied itself with the forces of reaction, and put itself on the side of every torturer, of every oppresser, of every perpetrator of racial injustice in the South or the North. * * * * * * But the folly of raising this race issue does not stop there. It differs but very little from the one that rent the Union. The great struggle which convulsed the United States was, in its simplest terms, nothing else than an attempt of an aristocracy of cotton and land to create two classes of human beings in this country, the slaves and the free. They were willing to sacrifice the Union and everything else to this end. Those who in this day and generation are seeking to establish two classes of citizens, the disfranchised and unfranchised, to say that there will be two kinds of Government employee jobs, Mr. McAdoo's Cabinet associate—they are on the high road to convulsing anew this land of liberty, which will now peace and quiet as long as there are criminals among its citizens. Upon their heads will be the responsibility of forcing the issue. To oppress any group of human beings, or to deny them full equality, is to court disaster. For each repression there is certain to come a terrible reckoning.
