OOlCd UV the nriann IrnnnaM mnA that
methods of punishment worse than these
prevailing a nunnred years age are being
used today at Holmesburg,
Expressions of surprised horror came
ever the facea of the four hundred men
who heard Judge MncNcllle describe
rlgpM of prison life at HelmesJrarg
which are new being -revealed in a series
of articles in the Hvimmi Public
Iifcpnen. They were hardly able te
realize that such a relie of the times
when kings threw men Inte prison, te
ret away, could exist in Christian
America. At the conclusion of his talk,
the Judge received round after round
of applause.
System Is Anhate
"Leng age I learned something about
conditions at the nriaen." Jndia Ma.
Nellie, who is Judga of Juvenile Court,
said, "and eventually I came te the
conclusion that the system In vugue to
day Is actually worse than that used in
state prisons a Hundred years age.
"j.ne inmates are allowed only twen
ty minutes of exercise five days a week
and frequently that brief recreation in
Ged's fresh air is denied them as a
punishment. Considering, tee. that some
Inmates are put in solitary confinement,
I would net ntane man tn nnmtuM.
of years there, fearing he would either
oereuie insane or die from the treat
ment. "Innocent, uneffensive people are ap ap
peinted aa members of the Beard of
Inspectors and ai being utterly misled
as te the actual state of affairs at the
prison. They nre 'respectable poly pely poly
wegs.' "These men nre Jewelers, engravers
and ether equally respectable men, but
they knew nothing whatever about
criminology. They go te the prison te
make their inspections, arc shown
around in n manner te deceive them ns
te the actual things which go en there
nnd leave satisfied that the inmates are
being properly cared for and given
decent meals."
New legislation te immediately rem
edy the present conditions was urged
by Judge MacNellle. He suggested
that Inspection and management of
the prison be vested In Judges of the
different courts, who would be per
sonally responsible for the proper care
and well-being of unfortunates in the
prison. He said that each Judge
Mietild be required by law te visit every
prison te which be has committed con
victs at least once u month.
Judge MacNellle also suggested that
county prisoners be permitted te work
nt standard wages.
"Out of these earnings let them pay
the cost of their keep," he said. "The
balance should be applied for the sun-
i pert of their families or dependent
ijureiup, inn preventing inese inno
cent ones from suffering for the want of
the most elementary necessities of life,
or from turning into ways of crime
themselves from sheer desneratlen."
The lie v. Zed Hetzcl Cepp, formerly
chaplain of the Eastern Penitentiary,
mm no prison conaitiens rrem years
of intimate experience with management
and convicts, yesterday said he be
lieved tue reveinuens made bv the
EvErfijra Public Ledqgr respecting
conditions at tne county prison at
Holmesburg were both "true and
timely." n
"I am in hearty accord," be said,
"with humanitarians who seek te employ
prisoners under open-air conditions. I
am convinced that psychiatrists ulti
mately will have te be employed prop
erly te rare for our legally sick seeking
te restore them te geed citizenship as we
new seek te restore these physically ill.
"The Evlnine Pudlie Ledoer is
rendering n great public service in ex
posing conditions.'
Inspection of the Philadelphia County
Prison at Holmesburg by welfare
workers and members of the Beard of
Prison Inspectors was described as a
farce yesterday by Pantey Cusano.
Cusano was sentenced te eighteen
mentb ' In the County Prison en Febru
ary lu. He served flve months before
he was paroled.
"When official visitors go te the
prison in the morning," Cusano said,
"The bountiful meal te be eaten by
the keepers nt 11:110 Is s-hewn them.
'S3ee what our prisoners eat,' jail at
taches Bay, and the iMters go away
prnisinc the prison nnd Its officials,
while 500 half. starved men drink burnt
rye and eat dry brentl in their cells.
"Tbree Mis, the same signal used te
warn of the nrrhnl of., Dr. Jeseph M.
Reeves, president of tlie Hennl of Prison
inspectors, is bounded te ten tne Keepers
iu the rotunda that company is en its
way te the prison te leek around.
"A 'Reception Committee,' usually a
couple of well-trained keepers, always
tnkes the visitors in tow ami shows them
the 'sights,' but never is any one, unless
he is nn Inspector, allowed te step r.nd
talk te nny of the coin lets.
"At the slightest Mgn of noise or dis

As aeetuat af his trestmsat
HelaMSburf was given -tedsy
t
Jeseph Diamonds. When ha entered
Holmesburg in February, 1014, te serve
eighteen for larceny he weighed 128
pounds. When he wss taken from
prison te Philadelphia Hospital in De
cember, 1016, be weighed eighty-seven
pounds.
When Diamonds was sent te Jail be
he wals nineteen years old. He says
seventeen months of the eighteen he was
in Holmesburg were one continued
course of ill treatment and torture. .,
"They did their best te kill me,"
Diamonds said. "When I arrived in
the prison they shaved my hair off aad
gave me a bath. Then I was taken te
a cell in B. Bleck. The keeper who
put me 'In solitary' pointed te the
rules hanging en the stone wall and
aid, 'read them, kid, and obey them.
If you don't we have a way up here
te make you behave.'
"The next day I was examined by
Dr. Reiser, the prison physician, He
pronounced my heart and lungs weak
nnd then tbey locked me 'in solitary.'
There I stayed three months, spitting
bleed. When I 'put down' for the
doctor I lest my exercise. Finally I
had a hemmorrhage and collapsed.
When I came te I was in the tubercu
lar hospital. . . , -
"Dr. Kelser and Dr. Morrison, who
was called in consultation, said I was
In the first stages of tuberculosis and
I was ordered en a diet of two quarts
of milk and four eggs a day. Then I
was sent te bed. ...
"The second night I was in the hos
pital tbe nlgbt keeper came te my bed
and asked me bow much of my milk
allowance I used each day. I smelted
a rat, I knew something was going te
happen, because I had been swapping a
pint of my milk for n five-cent bag of
smoking tobacco. Tbat is, I wss te
rlva un m. nint daily each week for the
tobacco and I told the keeper I was
using all or my mux. at saia te me,
'rnu'rn a liar." and crabbed me and
searched my bed. He found the bag
nf tnhamxi and took It.
"About an hour later a convict
nurse, Lloyd, came in and said te me,
'You're in a hell of a fix. If you don't
agree te give up a quart of your milk
rinllvl thev are coin te send seu back
- -..- rz v -... t ..-
te solitary cennnemenc. xeu a Dener

cause the keeper who found the tobacco
in teuf bed won't stand for any feel-
In. Yeu knew he can de anything
he wants and if he reports, you for
violating the no-smeKing rule in tne
hospital, that's your finish.'
Deprived of His Milk
"I told I.levd that I was giving ud
a nint and if I had te cive UD nny mere
.it would mean my death. Then some
one toea ic away xrem me. ur. rveiser
noticed that I was getting weaker and
when he asked it I was getting my
milk and can. I told him that the
milk was half water. Then he ordered
peanut butter and crackers and soup.
This I get for Just one meal and then
I wnn put back en tne ml in and water.
"A week later Dr. Reiser stepped nt
my bed again and wanted te knew if
the peanut butter and crackers were
satisfactory. I told him that I had only
gotten them one meal and when he ques
tiened tne convict nurse, tnis icnew
lied and said that I had received the
crackers and (peanut butter. When the
doctor left the nurse smiled at me and
handed me n cigarette and lit a match
for me. As I took a puff the night
keeper burst into the room shouting,
"Caught you in the act, didn't I. Then
he grabbed me and used me se roughly
tbat I had another hemmerrhage.
"The next day I told Lloyd that I
was going te tell the captain every
thing. I am afraid they would kill
me.
"It was about this time that another
convict they called Burke, who was
doing a nine-year 'stretch' nnd who
was the nurse in charge of the general
hospital, tried te have me transferred
te his place. He told the doctor that
he would take care of me if the doctor
would agree te the transfer, and ex
plained that they would 'kill the kid'
if he wasn't mevet. i was te dc merrd
the next day. bui tbat night Lloyd hit
me, and te defend myself l threw a
pitcher at him and was thrown into a
cell.
Denounced as Outrage
"Then I announced that I was going
te get word te Superintendent Coeke
and asked that he be front te my cell.
Instead I saw Dr. Morrison, who wus
substituting for Dr. Kciser. I told Dr.
Morrison what had been done te me.
He said it was an outrage te treat a
roan in my condition as I had been
treated and ordered my removal at once
te the open cells. There I remained
until my discharge, In December, 1015,
when I was sent te the Philadelphia
Hospital. Afterward I managed te go
te a tubercular camp."
The misery of conditions nt the
Holmesburg Prison and the policy of
secrecy in force there nre emphasized
by contrast with the Eastern Peniten
tiary in Falrmeunt avenue.
At Holmesburg the convicts complain
of the quality and quantity of their
feed. At the Eastern Penitentiary the
feed is palatable and plentiful.
A Study Jn Contrasts
At Holmesburg most of the pi iseners
nre kept In enforced idleness nnd soli
tary confinement is the rule. At the
Eastern Penitentiary the men arc given
employment and diversion, nnd solitary
confinement imposed as putibhmcnt is
rare. n . ,
At Holmesburg the use of tobacco is
forbidden. At the Eastern Penitentiary
tobacco is permitted.
Holmesburg wants no visits from
curious Inquirers nnd bars inspection
by newspapermen. The Eastern Peni
tentiary welcomes such inspection.
A fw lnva no n reporter for the
Evesine Pudlie Lkdqkh visited the
Eastern Penitentiary.
"I would like te take a leek around
hr nenltentiarv and talk te the con
victs," he said te Rebert J. McKenty,
tlie man in cnarge or inc pciuuMiwury,
where mere than 1000 men arc serv
ing terms ranging from ene jcar te
Nothing Is Concealed
Calling one of tbe keepers te c"jIe
the reporter, McKenty instructed this
mnn te show the visitor everything in
the place,
The first place visited wns Bleck 3,
the hospital block. Tim neon meal was
being served te convicts en the sick
list, nnd it consisted of vegetable soup,
baked beans, meat, sweet petntics,
corn, wheat bread nnd ceepa.
Frem the "gnllery" the reporter
went down through' the block, mingling
with many convicts. A number were
spoken te nnd asked if they had any
cemplnlnt te mnke. All expressed
themselves na satisfied an dsneke in
warm terms of the wnrden and the men
under him. , . ,,
In this block were comfortable cella,
many of them adorned with oil paint
ings and in ench convicts were tnlking
singing or playing musical instruments.
One fellow wns working hard en a
typewriter. He said he wns writing
a series of short stories, and through
the help of the warden he hoped te
sell them. One cell Is occupied Ijy two
young men. One Is doing twenty years
for murder and the ether, although
only twenty-five years old, Is destined
te spend the rest of his days in prison
unless the Beard of Pardons intervene.
He. tee, wbb convicted of murder. .
Their cell Is n little home. There
Isn't a thing about It te remind these
fellows that it is their prison, except
the grstea deer ,wb ch, hewever, was
open and covered with df apery, lhe
walls were covered with paintings nil
brlc-a-brack. Spotless white curtains
bid the barred windows mid the fleer
was covered with rag carpet. Even
the canary in his cage seemed happy

oil root for him. Yeu knew he could,
If he wanted te. make it jusr naru w
llve in her as I've heard ether fellows
say it is in Holmesburg.
The next step wns In the tubercular
department. They have about thirty
patients in tins piace wnicn umu
recently wns somewhnt similar te the
oeen-nlr cells In the County Prison.
Except In the "Pen," the sick, and for
that mnflnr (hn troll, rnn raise any
vegetable they want. Many of them have
flower pets.
They also have a new solarium for
the treatment of tuberculosis. This
sun parlor, en the reef of Bleck 8, Is
virtually nil windows, nnd it was built
by tne convicts. Tbey nave bdeui
thirty-five beds in it nnd Its construc
tion was along tha most sanitary lines.
There are no comers where dust can
accumulate, and it is nil in white.
Then n visit was nnld te the con
vict's dining hall. Heven hundred of
the men were lined up. Each had In
his hand a meal ticket and as he passed
into the room he get his pan and spoon
and received n quart of real veg"taeie
seen nnn neund nt tnnnl beef, boiled
potatoes and nil the bread he wanted.
After eating, the convicts gathered In
the ynrd, where they smoked and
chntted about e football game te be
played that afternoon lietwecn a Negro
eleven and a team of white convicts.
The warden had sawdust spread ever
the belgian blocks in the yard where the
game wns te take place, and every con
vict except a few who had violated
rules, and these who were In quaran
tine, were going te rnt a leek nt the
game.
The visitor came across convicts who
had figured prominently in the news.
One was Peter D. Treadway, who is
serving nineteen te twenty years for
killing Henry D. Pelrce. Treadway
works in the warehouse. He has been
in the "pen" two years, and was free
in his prnie of the manner in which
he is being treated.
"I dreaded te come te this place,"
said Treadway, "but I want te say that
it has mode n man out of me. harden
McRcnty did It. He talked te me Just
like he tnlks te everybody out here. He
tries te show us the better side of life,
and if a fellow shows any inclination te
de right the warden steps out and sees
that this man is given his chance. I
get mine and I am going te benefit
by It."
Then there was "Butch" Mascla.
He was convicted of killing Detective
(ieorge Eppley in the Fifth Ward
primary fitfit in 1017. He get seven
teen te twenty years.
"Can I say a word te this gentle
man?" Hutch asked a keeper.
"Sure, go ahead," was the keeper's
reply.
"Hutch" then explained that he wns
going before the Beard of Pardons this
month for a commutation and would be
able te show that he was Innocent of
killing Kppley.
Always Treated Kindly
"Hew de you find it out here?"
Mascla was asked.
"I've been here mere than fire years
and I have always been treated kindly,"
he said. "Yeu knew when I came here
I could net speak only a word or two of
Engll-.li. The warden made me go te
school nnd new I can rend and write
English and I can go into the world
a txjtter man."
The next visit was te the Hhrarr.
There nre several thousand books for
we convicts, nnd ttiey may have as
many ns they can rcnu, providing they
de read them.
Then the reporter was taken te the
"center," where the warden wan talk
ing with two convicts. One of them,
was complaining about the less of his
tobnece niiewuncc. Heme one hnd taken
it from his cell. "That's tee bad,
Billy," Wnrden McRentv said te the
Kfunvlct, "but I guess we will be able
te fix you un."
Then the wnrden took the visitor in
hand nnd explained te him just hew
he looked, after the convicts in his
charge.
"l.oek down the end of ench block,
and jeu will see n screen. There is
one down the woman's block, tee.
Thnt is where we show the men nnd
women moving pictures. They leek
forward te this weekly event with much
pleasure nnd we de, tee, because it is
something the convicts want nnd it is
something they should have.
All Get Chance (e Werk
"The only complaint I have te mnke
nt all is thnt I am unable te provide
work fur all of these here. I have
about "( working nt various jobs and
n great uiraber work in their cells,
doing nn li things ns weed carving nnd
making bended hags. We have one
man who is nn artist.
"We lmw wenvers and knitters, and
men having ether kinds of work, and
they get paid for it. The money they
earn is properly charged te their credit,
and if nny nf them desires some little
thing thnt is net en. the Siil of fare
hu is pmllcgcd te buy it.
"Our parole records keep complete
tab en cery man who leaves this in
stitution. We knew where he gees,
where he work, and If he is trying te
keen in the tttnight path, ami I am
happy te s:u that most of the boys

"If the ctern I have out here was

It is neces-.irj te umi harsh methods te

AsKeil ahei.f rults ngainst talking,

Wnrden Mi Kenty ald :

Clemenceau .Lays Wreath en
Crave of America's
Heroic Dead
CHEERED BY WAR COLLEGE
Bv Aiteeiafd Pr
Washington. Dec. 0. The dignity of
the United States War College was
shattered for a moment today when
major generals, brigadiers, colonels and
efilcers of lesser rank gave Geerges
Clemenceau three cheers nnd a "tiger."
Majer General McOlachfln, com
mandant of the college, acted as cheer
lender, massing his rooters en the front
step of the college building as the
Tiger of France emerged after deliver
ing n thirty-minute address.
Before he went te the War College,
Cletnencenti drove te Arlington Na
tional Cemetery, and, baring his head,
laid a huire wreath en the rrnve of
America's unknown soldier. Later he
emhnrked en the nnval yacht Sylph,
which hnd been leaned by Secretary
Denby, for a trip te Geerge Washing
ton's tomb at Mount Vernen.
Ciemenceau's talk at the War College
was half n tribute te the work of
America's forces in the war and half
a plea for this country's re-entrv Inte
European affairs. He was applauded
when he said with a twinkle in his eyes
that while France nnd England were
glad enough te see the war end when
it did, he "didn't think it would have
dlnlensel the Amerienns if it had gene
a little longer."
The officers again applauded" when
he referred te former Preidcnt Wilsen
nnd his "fourteen points."
"One nf th" fourteen points." he d
clared, "provided that German should
repair dnmnees. and the terms of the
nrmltlee said thnt if the points were
net fulfilled America nnd the Allies
would go en. Our damnges nre net re
paired. And you didn't go en."
Ainerlcn's withdrawal from Europe,
he rnriHntte'l cove Oermnnr reurnee.
"They thought thev could get the
better of us," he said, "nnd thus far
thev seem te have succeeded. "
He concluded with the exertion thnt
he ni tnkine back te France the mei
sage thnt "America's heart is In the
snnv place." and that "seme day wn
will meet nenin."
"And thnt day," he added, "peaee
will be insured, net only in America,
but in H'trepe. nnd you will Iievp
aehipved one of the greatest heights
reached by mankind."
