‘Conditions in the Queens County Jail have been the subject oi loud complaint on the part of prisoners incarcerated in that institut‘ . es- pecially during the past iew days. ‘the ell-led complaint is said to be with respect to the over-crowding and the fact that two of the prisoners are suffering from venereal disease.

At the present time there are forty-two prisoners in Jail, including siiowom- en.
