The financial condition of the State
penitentiaries will be investigated by
a joint committee of the House and
Senate if a resolution introduced by
Chrestman and adopted in the House
yesterday morning recelves the en-
dorsement of the Senate, and it is ex-
pected that it will.
f Governor Colquitt in his regular
L message to the Legislature stated that
the management of the penitentiary
nad not been altogether satisfactory
and rather courted an investigation.
The penitentiary commission has also
made known its wishes to have a le8,
pislative investigation and announced
Jits willingness to co-operate with and

I passage of the resolution but Lewel-

who should constitute the committee

arrests already have been made, have

the customs office.

evasion of import duties are located
in New York, it was said.

nearly 15,000 persona in the town* on
the Kentucky side of the Ohio ver,
driven from their homes by the rising
tide that is sweeping down ths onto
Valley and with more than 8500 homes
partly submerged, the flood situation in
this vicinity is assuming graver pro-
portions hourly. Here the water front
buildings are all partly under water
and much damage has been done.
An increase in the river stage at thin
point will mean the complete isolation
of the city from the Kentucky side and
the stoppage of traln service in this
direction. Late today the Government
gauge showed 47 feet and, according
to the weather bureau, the indication*
were that before many hours there
would be 41 feet in the river here.

NEW YORK, March 29- Harry J.
Klota, the city clerk injured recentiy
by the expiosion of a bomb which he
had built, confessed on his death bed
today that he had constructed and
mailed the two bombs which resulted in
the death of Grace Taylor last year and
Mrs. Madeline Herrera a few month"
ago, also the bomb which exploded last
March in the library of Judge Otto Ros-
alski.
A few minutes later Klotz died
Klota was sinking rapidly after an
operation when he made his confession
He sent for the police, and, according
to the statement given out by them
tonight, the dying man a conession was
made direct to Captain Price of the
detective bureau.
It was explicit as to all but the Her-
rera bomb, which up until near the
last he denied having sent.
Klota confessed, according to the
statement, that he had sent the bomb
to Judge Rosalsky because "I did not
like him." The agitation at the time
over the effort of Folke Brant to ob-
tain his release from prison influenced
him. Klotz said. Judge Rosalsky had
sentenced Brant to thirty years In
prison for a robbery In the home of
Mortimer Schir. where, Brandt had been
a valet. Brandt was recently released.
Asked why he had sent the Grace
Taylor bomb, he replied:
"I don’t know why; that’s all."
Later he admitted that it was on
account of a quarrel he had with her.
He said he sent the Herrera bomb
for experimental purposes only.
Klots seems to have had a mania
for collecting fire arms and experi-
menting with explomives.
