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. Jackson county U rich. It

Tho total number of employes of
the Triangle Waist company, which
occupied tho seventh, eighth and

There is no evidence yet that morq

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

a squad of firemen penetrated to tho

Thlrty-nlno persons aro believed to
havo been drowned yesterday after
noon when tho llttlo steamor Sochelt,
plying between Victoria and Sooke,
capsized during a sqaull near Wil
liam Head.
Tho report that tho boat had over
turned was brought to Victoria early
-oday and tho tugs Jolliffo and
Madgo were immediately despatched
o thoscotio. Tho tugs roturncd
shortly before noon and reported that
no sign of tho boat or passengers
was found. The Indians, however,
said thoy had seen tho boat sink and
that no bodies had been washed
ashore. Thoy said the waters were
) rough that no boat tho size of the
Secholt could ltvo. The vessel was
commanded by Captain II. B. Jnmes.
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. Owing to tho fact
that communication, with William
'lead was impossible today, it could
not bo verified.
As no list of passengors wns kept,
the names of those aboard tho boat
havo not been learned.
