The negroes were taken desperate- j ly ill at lite concentration or hospital camp. Their condition was such that ! Dr. Boyd said attempt to remove the j shackles from their limbs would have, subjected them to serious shock. It, was also contended by Supervisor i Owens and other authorities over the I gangs that it was not safe to allow j the convicts to ho taken to the hos- I pitals without guards and unshack- ! eled.

The conferees' report was adopted by both the Senate and House, and the measure now goes to the President for approval. Thewas no debate in either House. Scrr.tor Townsend of Michigan, one of the chief opponents, announced that in view of the overwhelming majority by which the Senate had passed the measure, he thought further opposition would bo foolish. The bill was introduced after Pros ident Wilson had urgently requested Congress to make the appropriation to aid in feeding starving people j and thereby check the westward ad- j vance of Bolshevism. It provides America's contribution to a fun 1 which will be administered by Herbert Hoover. Use of the money is authorized for j the relief of people in Europe and 1 the Near East, outside Germany, Gcr i man Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and .
