According to Sheriff Seaman, the ec

the late Max Lebaudy, the "sugar king"

SALEM, Or., Jan. 11. (Special.)
The death house at the State Penitenti
ary, where more than a score of men
Have been shot through the traps into
eternity, is to be changed into a
kitchen, and fully 300 convicts will be
served their food cafeteria style, in
stead of the present "reach and grab"
system which prevails, according to
plans being worked out now by Warden
Stevens. Under the present plan of put
ting the food on long tables, where the
men sit down to eat, family style,
Warden Stevens has discovered that
the bully with the strong arm gets all
the meat, while the weaker man goes
without.
The plan Is to cut a large hole from
the death house into the dining rooms
and the men will walk up to a steam-
heated steel plate, each man taking his
food piping hot to a seat to eat it. Now
the food is put onto the tables and by
the time the men reach it, it is cold.
The traps in the death house are cov
ered with cobwebs, and mice make
them a runway. The place has not
been in use except as a dump room
for junk, since the voters abolished
capital punishment in November, 1914.
