aiEDFOttD MAIL TRIBUNE, jrEDl?OftlX OfttfCIOX. SUNDAY. MATCOtT 2C, 1911. PAGE THKEE li- tf 'if' M NEW JAIL NEEDED SAYS GRAND JURY IN FINAL REPORT Present One is Entirely Too Small and Uncomfortable County Poor Farm Needs Several Matters Rem edied for Comfort of Inmates. That the present county jail is in adequate and a new one is needed is the chief matter urged by the grand jury which udjourned Satur day afternoon. In their report to Judge Calkins they say: We have examined the county jail and wo find the same entirely inad equate to hold and caro for the num ber of prisoners now being confined therein. We recommend that an entirely now jail be constructed with a view to seggregating prisoners with re gard to their age and experieiice as criminals and differences of charac ter. As matters now stand, boys charged with petty offenses under sentence from justice courts may be and arc cooped up with alleged mur derers and white slavers. Three months confinement in a county jail under tlieso conditions may convert a lad who has been a petty offender under sudden impulse into a deliber ate criminal with dofinito plans equipped with technical knowledge of tiio mentis to the end. Since refor mation is graining ground as a chief end of punishment it were better that young men nnd boys charged with misdemeanor go unpunibhed than to confine them in a jail such as ours. Crime just budding mny rapidly ma ture under the hot house growth vi iious criminal asociations naturally compel. A jail largo enough and with proper arrangement for the wide seg gregation of criminals according to their age and experience is a need so imperative and insistent that con struction of such a jail should be liasteijed with all possible dispatch. Your grand jury lias also examined tho poor house and farm maintained by the county for the care of its in digents. Wo find that those manag ing the homo and the farm aro indus trious and faithful. Hut we believe the force employed in the care of our unfortunate poor is not "adequate. Tho placo for instance is not kept n clean and sanitary as it should be The beds upon wliic htiiey sleep do not receive the full care tho comfort of theo people requires, nnd the rooms likewise, show the same lack of attention. Wo find electric lights are not used in the various roms oc cupied by tho inmates but candle, in stead. In sickness we recommend that inmates should have as good and constant caro ns can be reasonably found. One inmate, through an ac cident lias lost his eyesight. lie should bo brought under the care of an eye specialist,, that he may ho perchance, rescued to a condition of comfort and self support. Relieving that the faults enumer ated above all proceed not from lack of efficiency of the persons employed but from lack of numbers employed and believing that tho first and great est concern of the taxpayers is the proper caro of tho unfortunate poor of the county, wo recommend that in addition to tho force now employed for the general management and caic' of tho farm and home, a competent ' man and hi wife should be secured to caro for the rooms, beds, sauita-J tion, health and comfort of thp iu-1 mates, and that additional medic il care and expert professional skill be1 secured for such inmates wherever' needed.

Tho total number of employes of the Triangle Waist company, which occupied tho seventh, eighth and ninth floors of tho building, was be tween 300 and -100, mostly girls, There is no evidence yet that morq than half of theso escaped. Tho following firms also occupied tho building: Meyer, Kahn and Wal Iacli, Morris Blum, Harris and Broth er, Bernstein and Myers, N. Stern and Son, Tho Hatters Pur Exchange and Martin Bates, Jr. Tho causo of tho firo is doubtful, but is believed to have been caused by an explosion of a gasoline engine furnishing power for tho Triangle plant. Harris and Blank, tho pro prietors of tho firm, denied any ex plosion. As soon as the firo was un der control this evening tho firemen started to search tho building and tho coroner started an Investigation. They found bodies charred and mangled In a gutted pile, 30 deep, at tho foot of tho air shaft, an "In- J sido firo escape."

An unconfirmed report horo this iftornoon was to the effect that 15 passengers wcro landed at William Head from tho Secholt a short tjnie boforo bIio sank.
