John H. Winder Proposes to Lease all the

of the System Navassa Guano Company
Makes a Proposition as to Castle Haynes
Financial Condition of the Penitentiary
A Scandal In-the Criminal Insane Depart
ment
, '...'''!
' (Special to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, N. C., September j 21. The
penitentiary directors met this after
noon. A proposition was , made by
Charles E. Borden, of Wilmington, rep
resenting the Navassa Guano Com
pany, to, pay for; Castle Haynes farm
and to pay the state for convictjabor
in mining 20,000 tons of phosphate an
nually for three years. The board left
it to Superintendent Smith Chairman
Dockery and Chadhourn to lease or not
as they thought best. i
Superintendent Smith made, his re
port of financies. This shows: (Bills
audited $19,171, accounts not audited
$13,936, fertilizers $8,000, borrowed (from
the . state treasury $15,000, total indebt
edness $57,907; deposited since April 1st,
of earnings of the penitentiary $16J)27,
amount due today from all soiarces
$8,000. - j ,
A proposition by John H. Winder to
lease all the convict labor was then
read, also the following letter from
Gov-ennor Russell-endorsing it:
."The proposition of John H. Winder to
lease the convict labor of the peniten
tiary and pay all expenses, in consid
eration of receiving all products of con
vict labor seems bona fide, and with
proper amendments, to bring it strictly
within the constitution and statutes
and to conform to what ought to be in
dispensable requirements, should be ac
cepted, unless a better offer is made.
Thes.e indispensable requirements are:
That control and custody of all con
victs must remain with agents of the
state; that all rules and regulations
concerning management and internal
police of the institution must remain
with the superintendent and directors;
that the" convicts shall be at all times
under the supervision and control of
the penitentiary, board and of the" sup
erintendent and the guards and officers,
they,. name, and that no punishment
shall be inflicted except by such respon
sible officers; that, the salary of the
superintendent andi clerk should be
paid by the contractors; power of the
governor and directors to make inves
tigations of matters concerning, the in
stitution or conduct of persons con
nected with the management and
power of inspection by the board .and
by a joint committee of the legislature
must remain as they are; that the
contractor should be Required to keep
in good repair all buildings at the cen
trar prison; that, a bond with unques
tionable security in not less than $5T),000
should be reouired- that nrooosils here-rnfe
should be required, that propolis nere -
alter made upon due publication, eitner
by Winder or others should be accom-
panied by $3,0Q0 as earnest moriey to be
forfeited upon failure "to comply with
the proposal; that feeding, clothing and
housing of convicts shouldbe controll
ed, regulated a;nd prescribed by the
superintendent, subject to the-lirection
of the board. 1 '
"Upon the conditions above indicat
ed, I urge that you give out the con
tract to save the state further expense
in maintaining the institution. This,
Winder proposes to do, and it is sub
mitted hat upon his compliance with
the proper requirements he should have
the contract, unless other persons make
a better offer. Winder does'not include
in his proposal the Anson eounty plan
tation. He seems he is not willing to
pay the very high ren contracted to be
paid for'jthis properrty by the former
board. If he or others, cannot be in
duced to take it off the state's hands it
seems advisable to reserve enough con
victs to work the farm in j?ase it shall
le Tfletermined to continue operations
there. The rent is about 6 per . cent
on $40,000. -I am informed the land
when leased was not worth $10,009,
"The state has an interest ih the Cas
tle Haynes plantation. You have re
ceived from forpaer jnanagement a debt
of $12,000 to $15,000 du for convict la
bor, with no security save mortgage oo
bonds ($17,000 par), out of an issue of
$85,500 par secured by mortgage on
land.. It has been sold for only $1C,990.
Thomas Evans accountant is employed
to state an account from the books of
the former management to show the
actual loss during the four years ending
vm.ii. 1896. Sufficient examination has
been made to show, I understand, that
the loss or shortage was about $125,000.
I am profoundly satisfied it is best for
the state to take eeh measures as will
save it harmless against further loss
and make the penitentiary sef support
ing, provided always precautions are
taken against "abuses and. cruelties."
No other proposition save this one of
Winder was subftiitted to the board.
Winder's proposition Is to take all cost
"of the penitentiary from the, state and
that the latter pay the syndicate which
leases 25 cents a day for the. care pf
those convicts now disabled and the
fnijnal insane, the superintendent and
directors to hfld office. The board
meets afefinAtomorrow morning". It dis
cussed the proposition at length and ap
pointed a committee of three (Chad
bourn, Singman and Martjn) to put the
views of the board in proper shape, and
present them tomorrow morning; Stat
ing ' the condftions upon which the
board will agree to Jease. '
Chairman Claude Dockery says to
night; " I Iwill not agree to any lease
which 'does not take care of radicals
both In and out of stripes,"
It is learned from members or the
board that if Dr. Kirby Smith tenders
his resignation the board may not In
vestigate the scandal in which he is bo
teribly. implicated.. Jf he does not re
sign iht board cert4inly will invesU"

to be no question as to thp f acts. ; Te

v ! '
The . Raleigh Nfws andt Observer of
yesterday says: .
"The directors of the state peniten
tiary meet today. The object of the
meeting iSito lease the penitentiary!
To this end" two propositions have been
niade. One by a syndicate of northern
capitalists represented by John H.
Winder, and one by a syndicate of
Goldsboro, Raleigh and Greensboro cap
italists. ! . i L r .
"The genera! proposition of both is to
take the penitentiary, the farm sand the
convicts-everything as itinow stands
off the hands of the state for a term of
years. "In other words, they propose
to pay the expenses of the institution.
- I "This, many republicans, ; among them
Governor Russell, think would be the
course now to pursue. The peniten
tiary Is running away ahead In ex
penses, and away behind; In earnings,
i "Governor. Russell strongly favors the
lease, If it can be made, legally. He
also has the twx propositions to lease.
As to which one of .these1 he favors, I
am unable; to say. Both" bidders are
anxious to secure his influence, and a
member of one of the , syndicates has
gone so far as; to say that his crowd
would have Governor Russell's influ
ence, that they expected to secure it
through one of his Wilmington friends
and would have it, even if it cost
$10,000. " :; ": . 1
"The truth of this statement can easily
be substantiated, and it ought .to be in
vestigated by the directors tonight
when the leasejquestion copies up."

Violent Type at Edward
- St. Louis,; September 21. This City
had a yellow fever scare, today, Ibut
there seems to ' have been but little
foundation for it .according: to Health
Commissioner Starkloff, who made;' an
examination' of the suspected case and
declared that it showed not a single
sympt6m of ,the. dreaded disease that is
raging in the south. The suspect is
William Tript, 30 years' of; age, vho
reached the maVine hospital Monday
morning. He had a high fever and said
he came from the government dredge
boat Alpha; engaged in . revetment work
near East Cairo, Ky. Dr. C. E. Decker,
a -hysiclan in charge, of the marine
hospital, became interested in the case
when he was told by Tript that he had
beenv working on the Alpha,! for that
boat had been used to transport several
cases of yellow fever to the marine hos
pital at Cairo, III. "Thinking it a Case
for investigation, he telephoned
Health Commissioner Starkloff, but it
was 10 o'clock before that doctor could
get to the hospital. He examined
Tript and then returned to his office in
the city hall, where he was seen by a
representative ot the Associated Press.
in regard to the case Dr. Starkloff
said: "71 have" made a thorough exam
ination of Tript with Doctors Jordan
and Decker. The analysis as presented
to me makes the case to be one of ordi
nary intermittent fever. If it is yellow
fever it is of a very mild type. There
are none of those alarrhing symptoms,
such as suppression of the kidney func
tions and constipation the two things
that kill in vellow fever. Besides, the
, man had an appetite" for breakfast. He J
looks' yellowish and has a foul breath,
nke Jj malarial patients. Tript says
his home is in Illinois, and that for sev-
dredge boat Alpha near: Cairo. He has
been sick for several days. He boarded
a box car on the Iron .Mountain road
in the Cairo yards early Monday and
came here. When he left the box car
he went directly to the marine hospital.
I shall have the patient sent to quar
antine, ! where Dr.. Woodruff is; in
charge, and take all necessary precau
tions." i '
Two hundred clerks, with their fami
lies, employed in the general officesof
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Com
pany at Mobile, Ala., arrived here to
night, temporary headquarters of the
road having been established in this
city until after the yellow fever has
died out in the south. Dr. Starkloff was
asked what would be the effect of so
many people from the midst of the
fever stricken district coming into this
city. He said he had no fear that they
would spread the plague. At the worst
there could only be sporadic cases ajid
these would be quickly reported to the
health department and promtly isola
ted. The doctor declared that it was
too cojd here for a spread of the dis
ease. .New Orleans, September 21. There
were nine cases of yellow fever report
ed to the board of health this after
noon at 6 o'clock, when the day's work
of the physicians ended. There were,
however, no deaths recordedr i and the
doctors all agreed this evening that
.the situation was steadily improving.
The fever at present, instead of devel
oping into a malignant type, is as mild,
if not milder, than When it first ap
peared here; as witness, twenty-seven
cases in" two days without a sinme
death. Tonight the inspectors of the

Up to th present time there ban been

board of health thus far has been en
abled successfully to quarantine each
case that has appeared. Confidence is
steadily increasing. ,' j
Mobile, Ala., September 21. This was
another day of favorable "repgrt, There!
was only one new case reported, a child
named Willie Goodloe, living in the in
