SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT

TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY WORKHOUSE AND INEBRIATE ASYLUM :

Gentlemen :

I herewith beg to submit the Fifty-Seventh Annual Report of the Allegheny County Workhouse and Inebriate Asylum, for the year ending December 31st, 1926.

Attached hereto and made part of the report, are the finan- cial exhibit, operation of the industrial departments, statistical tables, reports from the chaplain, the medical department and the farm deputy, and you are referred thereto for detailed in- formation.

Plans for the hospital was submitted to the Board of Man- agers and approved, and work on the foundation is under way. If the weather and other conditions are favorable, the Hospital should be occupied on or about December 31st, 1927.

The Assistant Superintendent’s residence is in very bad condition. Upon approval of your Honorable Board, it is be- ing modernized.

During the past year the third section of the New Factory Building has been completed. This New Factory Building is 70 ft. wide and 330 ft. long, and was completed at a total ex-

penditure of $211,089.14 as follows: —

Cash expended $165,222.64

Prison teams and Labor furnished .... 45,866.50

$211,089.14

On Thursday, July 22nd, 1926, about 2.00 P.M., Officer G.F. Russell came into the office and reported that some of the pris- oners employed in the Chair Factory had set fire to the shop in two or three different places, and that he and Officer Harry Graham had both been attacked when they went to investigate the trouble. A call was immediately put into the Sheriff’s of- fice, requesting that a detail of his Deputies be sent to the in stitution at once, in case the trouble developed into anything serious. After considerable trouble, during which one of the water hoses was cut several times by the prisoners, the officers assisted by some of the inmates, succeeded in getting the water on the blaze, which at this time was burning in three different parts of the shop. At the same time the fires were burning in the Chair Factory, one of the inmates from the Chair Factory succeeded in starting a small fire in the adjoining Broom Shop.

13

which was, however, quickly put out without causing any dam- age.

The men in the Chair Factory were lined up in the mean- time and marched to their cells in the West Wing. About 20 of these men after being marched to their cells, procured their bed sticks, and through some mix-up, the door of the West Wing was opened, and they rushed from the Wing out to the yard of the prison, shouting and smashing windows- and visit- ing the Broom Shop, Carpet Shop, Blacksmith Shop and Car- penter Shop, calling upon the men working there to come out and join them, however, they met with no response as not a man from these shops joined them. The rioters were in a very ugly mood, and the Officers had in the meantime been furnished with riot guns. By the time the rioters had made the rounds of the various shops and were starting into the main building, the Deputy Sheriff’s arrived, and they were joined also by a Motorcycle Detail under Lieut. Mellon of the Pittsburgh Police, as well as by Motorcycle Police from the neighboring Boroughs of Sharpsburg, Aspinwall and Etna. The men were then dis- armed of their sticks and marched again to their cells.

The fire in the Chair Factory was not very serious, claim being placed with the Insurance Company in the amount of $891.14.

On Saturday, July 24th, an investigation was made, and upon the strength of the testimony adduced, we made informa- tion before Justice-of-Peace C. A. Sproul of Blawnox, Pa., charging the ten men indicated below with Conspiracy, Inciting a Riot, Riot, Aggravated Riot, Malicious Mischief and Arson

Register No. 1461 1653 2202 2377 750 98945 183 1176 1542 3541

and the said Justice-of-Peace after hearing the evidence of the witnesses in the case, held the above ten men for Court and committed them to Jail to await the Grand Jury and Court ac- tion.

14

September 29th, 1926, after being tried by Jury, the follow- ing prisoners were found guilty of Arson : —

No. 1461 1653 3541

and were sentenced to from 5 to 10 years in the Western State Penetentiary, and an additional sentence of 1 to 2 years to the same institution on the other charges, making a total sentence of 6 to 12 years.

The following prisoners,

No. 2202 2377 750 183 1176 1542

Avere found guilty of all the charges above set forth with the exception of Arson, and were sentenced to a term of from 1 to 2 years in the Western State Penitentiary. All of the sentences to begin after the expiration of their terms in the Workhouse.

One of the defendants, No- 98945, \\ras taken ill prior to the trial, and was removed from solitary confinement to the Prison Hospital where on August 26th he died, death being caused by Acute General Peritonitis, follo\Adng Intestinal Ob- struction.

CHAPLAIN’S REPORT

TO THE HONORABLE, THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY WORKHOUSE AND INEBRIATE ASYLUM.

Gentlemen : —

I hereby submit my Thirteenth Annual Report as Chaplain of the Allegheny County Workhouse and Inebriate Asylum.

The work of the chaplain has been carried on as usual, with the same difficulties and encouraging features. One noticeable change is noted in the increased amount of incoming and outgoing mail to be censored. The following statistics will give some idea of the amount of routine work to be done. Letters received 40,168. Letters sent out 9,825. Papers re- ceived 27,799. Packages received 722. Money in the amount of $8,713.75 was received through the mail and credited to the ac- count of the inmates. In addition to the above items, thousands of religious papers and other literature were received and dis- tributed to the inmates. There were 11,880 books distributed from the library . The bindery department repaired 775 books and bound a number of new volumes, including some volumes of the National Geographic Magazine. As a result of the faithful work of the bindery department, the library books, at the pre- sent time, are in good repair.

Considerable time is spent in attending to items of personal business for the inmates, who look to the chaplain for assistance in these matters. The chaplain also finds abundant opportuni- ties for personal interviews with the inmates on subjects which are of vital interest to them.

The school, under the direction of the chaplain, has been coriducted with encouraging success, during the winter months.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES

Services have been conducted regularly by the chaplain on Sunday at 9 :30 A. M. and 3 :30 P. M. At the morning service the chaplain preaches a sermon. The afternoon service is more informal, at which time the chaplain discusses the Internation- al Sunday School Lesson. The music by the choir and orchestra efficiently directed by Mrs. II. P. Mutch, has been a feature of the services that has been enjoyed by all.

75

Opportunity lias been given for special services for the Catholic anl Jewish inmates. As far as possible, opportunity has been given for the inmates to develope their spiritual life along the lines of their particular belief. We have earnestly endeavored to avoid any appearance of sectarian discussion. Each one has been urged to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience.

R. IT. McBride of the Parting of the Ways Home has spoken at stated times and presented the work of the home. The Reverend M.P.Boyle has faithfully looked after the special interests of the Catholic inmates. The Salvation Army held a service on their Prison Sunday. Lieut. Colonel and Mrs. Wal- ter Collins of the Volunteers of America, spoke at the chapel service, at the time of the holding of the American Prison Con- gress in Pittsburgh.

recreational

During the fall and winter months, moving pictures were given at stated intervals. The Shriner’s Chorus of Pittsburgh gave an excellent concert to the great delight of all. On Inde- pendence Day, the inmates gave an excellent musical and vaudeville program in the prison yard, under the direction of the chaplain. Atheltic Sports, under the direction of R. H. Behm, was a pleasing feature of the day’s program.

PHYSICIAN’S REPORT

Blawnox, Pa., December 31st, 1926.

TO THE HONORABLE, THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF

THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY WORKHOUSE AND INEBRIATE ASYLUM.

Gentlemen :

The following report of the Medical Department for the Year ending December 31st, 1926 is submitted.

The medical attention required has been of the same nature as other years.

Owing to the overcrowded condition of the institution to which they should have been sent, we were required to care for numerous insane. Our present facilities for the care of such patients are very poor. It is earnestly hoped ample considera- tion has been given this subject and the new hospital will be fitted with sufficient rooms to properly care for and restrain such unfortunates.

During March and April, grippe was prevalent in our institution. Because of the lack of room in our hospital, it became necessary to use one of the ranges for those least sick.

Many of our tubercular patients are chronically luetic, as well as alcoholic, and we feel that marked improvement cannot be anticipated.

In addition to the medicines and ointments ready for dis- pensing, fourteen pounds of ointments and one hundred and nineteen gallons of medicines of our own formulae were made, and four hundred and fifty injections of neo-salvarsan used.

The following tables are submitted as a part of this report :

FARM REPORT

Blawnox'. Pa., January 1st, 1927.

Mr. A. H. Leslie, Superintendent of the Allegheny County Workhouse and Inebriate Asylum,

Dear Sir : —

I hereby submit to you the following report of the farm for the year ending December 31, 1926.

The acreage of the various crops and the yield per acre were as follows :

Carrots	1	acre	300	bu.	to	acre
Cow-beets	3	acres	28	ton	to	acre
Early Cabbage	1	acre	13	ton	to	acre
Late Cabbage	7.5 acres	10	ton	to	acre
Sweet Corn	32	acres	- 97	bu.	to	acre
Potatoes	45	acres	100	bu.	to	acre
Field Corn	62	acres	60	bu.	to	acre
Wheat	47	acres	26	bu.	to	acre
Oats	43	acres	55	bu.	to	acre
Hay	73	acres	1.8	ton	to	acre
Tomatoes	4	acres	122	bu.	to	acre
Oat Hay	6	acres	3 3	ton	to	acre

In the spring of this year 2874 chicks were hatched. This was a 60%; hatch of all eggs put in the incubator. Of the number of chicks hatched, 67% were raised to maturity or marketable age. The total egg yield for the poultry year ending November 1st, 1926 amounted to 7350 dozen and the average egg yield per hen for the year amounted to 123.6 Eggs.

Again, for the seventh consecutive year we have been free from tuberculosis in the herd of cows. In that time also we have had no case of cholera among the hogs, due no doubt to the systematic use of the simultaneous treatment for the prevention of hog cholera.

Three colts were foaled in the fall. The raising of colts is just beginning to make its impression in our horse supply, most

89

noticeable in the fact that we have had to purchase fewer horses each year to keep up t lie horse power to requirements.

It was impossible to seed the winter wheat and rye this fall as early: as it. should have been done and with the open winter we have had, the prospects of these fall-sown crops are not very encouraging.

Respectfully submitted,

SAMUEL C. KINCAID, Farm Mgr.

Gentlemen :

I herewith beg to submit the Fifty-Eighth Annual Report of the Allegheny County Workhouse and. Inebriate Asylum, for the year ending December 31st, 1927.

Attached hereto and made part of the report, are the finan- cial exhibit, operation of the industrial departments, statistical tables, reports from the chaplain, the medical department and the farm deputy, and you are referred thereto for detailed information.

The new Hospital is rapidly nearing completion and we hope to have it furnished and ready for use during 1928.

Work has been started on the new Prison Wall which will enclose the Hospital in the prison yard, and we trust to have this improvement completed at the same time as the hospital.

The past year has shown an increase in the number of inmates. The average daily population was 1,089 186/365, the largest in the history of the institution.

I give you below in condensed form the movement of the population for the year, the cash balances on hand, the daily average population, and the daily average cost of each inmate.
