COUNTIES OBJECT , TO CONVICT GUESTS| Protest Against State Distribu- tion of Pennsylvania “Bad Men.” Special Dispat-hi to The Star. HARRISEURG. Pa. August 23— Pennsylvania’s “hard-boiled crooks lfrom the big citles are not welcome in the smaller counties even as occu- pants of their jails. Citizens and jall authorities in about a dozezn euch) counties are up in arms today over the proposal to transfer them from the famous eastern penitentiary at Philadelphia. Following an inquiry into condi- !tions at the penitentiary, the legisla- | iture passed a law making the transfer | | possible. The prison was congested and affairs-there, the board of in- quiry reported, were “horrible.” No objection apparently was anticipated {from the countles. But it has come. Protesting jallers contend that the jall§ are unsafe for skilled cracksmen, highway robbers, imurderers and other desperate men. Moreover, the Jails themselves are: tco small to accommodate the county iprisoners and state convicts at the isame time. Also, several jailers have |drawn the line at playing hosts to | such a motley crew. Already the experiment has turned jout badly in one county, and a repe- {tition of the result is expected in {other countiea. In this particular {county jail the turnkey hardly waited to give his new guests the once over. Despite his twenty years' service at the jail he threw up his hands and quit the job, indignant at the idea of working in the same bullding with convicts. But the warden gave the newly arrived guests a sumptuous repast. One crisis in Pennsylvania’s “crook drama” will be reached shortly when twenty-two county commissioners as- semble in Philadelphia for a hearing on the subject. Just what the ulti- mate climax will be is still a matter for conjecture. The curtain went up on_this crook play shortly after Gov. Pinchot as- sumed the reins of leadership in Pennsylvania. He ordered a sweeping investigation of affairs at the peni- tentlary. This probe hardly has got- ten under way, but one warden has been forced to quit and a former superintendent of the state constabu- lary has been named in his place, The new garden started several reforms which give promise of bettering con- ditions, Further reforms are expected after a committee of two prison experts concludes a thorough study of the “pen” and submits its report to the governor. ny | | the money H The other woman is the ch of a man whose fondness f made him desert her because none in his hom: Since the kidnaping she has visited her forme:r home sceking her husband She is £aid to have told neighbors taat she has a baby now, and “they can't| take it away from me BOYS HELD IN CAR THEFT.! | Grand | wife tren e was cl Two Put Under Bond for Jury Action. ar Howde and Josep northeast, ing a $2.000 ! resentatives; Gen | 22 T street north- | oetzinger. 20 H | charged with stes automobile fr Ceok. 1124 North _Capitc August 10, were held for the of the grand jury in the United branch of Police Court today. bond was set at $500 Both the boys are only Seventeen vears of age.

'he bill further alleges that the use of the bullding for stabling the animals of the dairy will violate the bullding regulations and the police regulations of the District, constitute | a nuisance, damage and injure the| petitioners and deprive them of their | poperty without due process of law. | Attorney W.
