Prisoner Just Freed Declares the
Inmates, by Threats, Have
Obtained Better Conditions.
The story of a union formed by
the inmates of the Atlanta Federal
Prison to obtain justice and fair
treatment from Warden W. H. Moyer,
coupled with a scathing denunciation
of conditions at the institution, is told
in a letter recelved by The Georgian
from J. A. Brill, who was released
from the prison July 4, after serving
five years.
“The prisoners have formed a
union,” writes Brill, “and dictate to
the deputy warden how he shall run
the prisor. They frequently threaten
to go on a strike if their demands
are not complied with, and by these
threats we are accorded much bet
ter treatment than we were before
the union was organized.”
Brill declares that the prison 1s
a “modern Hades, and the methods of
handling the prisoners strongly re
gemble the Spanish inquisition.” ‘
“Until The Atlanta Georgian pub
lished Julian Hawthorne's disclos
ures,” he writes, “the inmates were}
given barely enough to live on, and
the food was of an inferior quality,
often being spoiled when it was plac
ed on the tables. It looked and tasted
more like prepared cattle food than
like something for human consump
tion. It is nothing unusual for the
bread to be sour and to be prepared
from cheap, inferior flour. This false
economy as to food means broken
down constitutions and men defective
mentally and physically.
“Dr. Weaver, the prison physician,
s indifferent to the welfare of the
prisoners. He stays at the prison
only about two hours a day, and
examines and prescribes for 25 or 30
prisoners in ten minutes’ time. He
has also been using the prisoners for
experimental purposes, operating on
them at the slightest pretext and
bringing medical students from the
city as onlookers.
Warden Makes' Concessions.
“Since The Georgian began pub
lishing the complaints of prigoners
regarding the prison, Warden Moyer
has been trying to make terms with
us by allowing us privileges that we
never had before, such as giving us
cigarette papers and allowing us in
the prison yard on Sundays after
dinner. These and many other privi
leges have been given to keep us
quiet,
“The prisoners get very little to
eat for supper, nothing but a plece
of bread and a cup of black coffee
that is shoved in to them between the
bars of their cages. A large number
do not eat the dry bread, but pitch
it out of their cells onto the stone
floor. 3 . ;
“The cellhouse at this time re
gembles a pig pen. Ther eis insuffi
cient ventilation at night in the *small,
black, overcrowded, boiler-iron com
{mrtmems that serve as living quar
ers for two men.”

Paul M. Warburg, head of the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Bank of Wall
street, who was nominated by President Wilson for a member of
the Regional Bank Board, and whose name has been indefinitely
held up by the Senate committee to which it was referred follow
ing his refusal to appear before the committee for questioning.
President Wilson is expected to wage a hard fight for his con
firmation. . ,
WASHINGTON, July 10.—A revolt
In the Senate against President Wil
son is on. Members of the upper
House have reached a deadlock with
tha White House on the President's
demand that Paul M. Warburg and
Thomas D. Jones be confirmed as
members of the Federal Reserve
Board.
The Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency stood pat to-day on its
unfavorable report on the nomination
of Jones and the indefinite postpone
ment of action in Warburg’'s cage,
with the same determination that
characterized the White House state
ment that the President will Insist
that his appointees be given their
places.
On the other hand, advices have
come from the White House that the
President will muster enough strength
in the Senate to override the Banking
and Currency Committee should he
persist in his determination to force
at Jeast unpleasant and sometimes dan
gerous. Calome! in large doses is &
poison and actually deadly to some—
perhaps to you—and hence its use means
taking chances.
With Dodson's Liver Tone you are al
ways safe. Its rellability is so certain
that it can be sold with the money
back guarantee. It is a vegetable liquid,
pleasant to take, and it can not harm.
It clears up the dulled and aching head
and cleans out the clogged system in
what many have found to be & wonder
ful way. Dodson’'s Liver Tone will
do for you what it has done for thou
sands—and you run no risk in trying
it. Ask your druggist about Dodson's
and the guarantee.—ADVERTISEMENT
the issue. There is no doubt that he
will do so.
All of the enemies of the President
are rallying to the support of the
Banking Committee and the members
are confident that they will be sus
tainmed. 1t is an open secert about the
Senate that many Democrats and Re
publicans who have been inclined to
vote for Warburg's confirmation on'
the score of his ability and capacity
resent his refusal to appear before the
Senate committee and will .not sup
port him on this ground.
So strongly is President Wilson de
termined to stand by Warburg that
no other nomination will be sent by
the White House to the Senate, even
though Warburg’s name is pigeon
holed indefinitely.
Warburg has placed himeself en
tirely in the President's hands. He
has not receded from his position
that he will not submit to examina
tion by the committee. He will per
mit the White House to do all it can
to obtain his confirmation, but wil
make no fight in his own behalf.
The White House attitude is to let
the force of public opinion compel the
Banking Committee to retreat from
its position. When it becomes known
to the country that the fight over
Warburg is holding up the operation
of the new currency act, it is expect
ed that the public will compel action
by the committee.
Opponents of the Administration
point out, however, that a “quorum of
the Federal Reserve Board" already
has been confirmed by the Senate and
there need be no delay over the crea
tion of the new currency system be
cause of the fight over Jones and
Warburg.
The Administration intends to fight
on the floor of the Senate for the con
firmation of Jones.
Reports have reached Washington
that the farmers of the Middle West,
embittered agalnst the Harvester
trust through long experience, are
strongly opposed to the confirmation
of Jones. It is stated that Senator
Reed is the most vigorous opponent
of Jones, because the Harvester Com
pany has been debarred from doing
business in Missourl. The “White
House denies any knowledge of this
sentiment among farmers. ;
