V -Salem, -Or., Jan. 16. The Marion county grand jury In a report this aft ernoon highly recommended Superin tendent B. K. Lawson, of the state pen itentiary, for his management of the prison. More work for the prisoners should be provided, however, according , to the recommendations of the grand Jury. The main chapel of the peniten-I nary is seriously lire menaced, ine re port asserts, and great life loss is pos- sible. The Marion county Jail is in a clean, sanitary, excellent condition, and the Inmates are well cared for, accord ing to the report. The grand jury's re port, in part, follows: "We visited the. Oregon state prison and! found things generally in excellent condition. We cannot commend too highly the able management of the warden, Colonel B. K. Lawson. Un der his direction all the buildings and walls have been painted, a new heat ing plant has been installed, a building has been reconstructed for use as quar ters for the guarrds, the prison yard, which was formerly a mud bole, has been levelled and seeded to clover, walks have "been constructed and a number of excellent improvements made without cost to the etate, except for the actual material used. Employment Is Question. "The completion of those improve ments has rendered the further em ployment of the-inmates of the prison an important question. At the pres ent time there are a great many idle men there, and absolutely no means of employment Is available. In our judg ment, the state, in enforcing idleness on those prisoners, is committing a greater offense than that committed by many of those for which offense the state has imprisoned them. In stead of leading. them away from the criminal tendency which caused theit imprisonment, the enforced Idleness en courages a criminal tendency. With all the emphasis possible, we wish to urge that some means be provided by the state for the employment of all in mates of the Institution. "We also desire to direct attention to the unsafe condition of the main chapel of the prison. Owing to the elevator shaft and the system of ven tilation in use, and the inflammable condition of the material from which the chapel is constructed, the danger of fire is very great. We regard it as a crime to permit the danger to exist. Situated as Jt is between the two cell- ! houses, should a rire occur, many lives would aurely be lost. Those who did not burn to death' would likely be suf focated. Time would never efface the injury done to the name of the state', should such 'a.iolocaust occur. Hog Houses Beeonunended. "We believe the interest of economy would best be served by the construc tion of a dairy barn and a brooding shed for hogs. However, those im provements and a few other similar improvements we might suggest are principally questions of policy which we do not regard as strictly within our jurisdiction. We do wish to urge, though, the improvement to the chapel and the providing of employment to, the j prisoners. "We also inspected the state hospi tal for the insane and found conditions there most satisfactory. An excellent institution, ably conducted, is main tained by the state, and the unfortu nates are given every possible atten tion. It should be a source of pride to the citizens of this state that the state's insane are so properly cared for." Major Clarkson Dies at Newberg Was Past Commander-in-Chief of the O. A.

According to Senator Hawley, a member of the senate ways and means committee. the committee: is thoroughly con vinced of the success of the board of control law after visiting the mute, blind and feeble minded Institutions and the state' hospital for the insane. The committee spent most of today at the state hospital and asylum farm. Although no freport will be made for some time, It was the concensus of opinion that the needs of the institu tions were properly set forth in the budget. "I have been a member of the legis lature for. four terms and have never seen the institutions in as good condi tions as now," ; said Senator Hawley today. "The last legislature can at least be proud of the' fact that it passed the law creating the board of control to handle all the state insti tutions." Hawley stated that the committee was convinced thajt Superintendent j Tillinghast is making a success of the I mute school farm. The blind school. said Hawley, is in splendid condition under Superintendent Moore. At the feeble minded institution the committee was pleased with general conditions, but was convinced that the handling of a large farm was out of the question on account of the neces sity of hiring much help. The committee was particularly int pressed with the excellent results ob tained at the large state hospital farm. The problem of an abundance of cheap help is easily solved there and Super intendent Steiner's work was warmly praised in- this respect, as weH as in the upkefep of the buildings and care of the inm-tes. No recommendation regarding an ad- aiuonai vmg.at tne state nospitai here will be made until the eastern Oregon asylum has been visited.
