Mr.. John Harrison Semmes is lying ser:-
ously i'll at his residence in Chevy Chase,
and, owing to his advanced age. his recov-
cry is beliey ed to be doubtful. Mr.. Semmes
was born in Georgetown seventy-five years
ago, his father, who was brother Of the
famous Admiral Raphael Semmes. having
emigrated from England and settled there.
Mr.. Semmes, in spite of his advanced age,
has preserved an active interest In every
day affairs and attended to his business in
terests with all the zeal and energy which
characterized his early years. Christmas
day he came into the city and was waiting
for a car on Pennsylvania avenue and 10Th
street when he was seized with an attack
of vertigo. He fell to the pavement and
cut a severe cash over his right eye. This
wound was seWed up at the Emergency
Hospital, whence Mr.. Semmes returned to
his suburban home. He did not appear to
be very much the worse for his injury, and
spent the evening with his family, retiring
to bed at his usual hour. Sunday morning
it was found that he was in very pre-
carious condition. He was unconscious. He
was first visited by DR.. j. ID. Morgan, and
is now under the charge of DR.. Cuthbert.
The injury received Christmas day caused
severe shock to his already weakened
system, and, in addition, symptoms OF
paralysis were apparent. Mr.. Semmes raj
.ied slightly Friday night under the effects
of nitro-glycerine, and was conscious next
morning. Mrs. Semmes, Miss Semmes. Mrs.
Calhoun and Mrs. Dessez, the children of
Mr.. Semmes, are in attendance upon him.

NAVAL PRISON MANAGEMENT.
Chaplain TiebOn's Recommend ida lions
to Secretary Long.


The Secretary of the Navy has received
from Chaplain d. H. Tiebon, who was
delegated to attend the annual congress
of the National Prison Association, a
series of recommendations for the manage
ment Of naval prisons based upon the
papers read before the congress and on his
own experience of three years at the naval
prison at Boston. The chaplain is strongly
commendatory of the management Of the
Boston prison, which is in the care of the
his suggestions arc in the line of the pres
ent policy of the Navy Department.
The adoption of the probationary system
is not recommended, because the dominant
idea in military punishment is to deter
others from crime. While the practice CT
allowing Communication of sentence for good
conduct is commended, it is suggested that
it might be advisable to divide prisoners
into three classes, according to the degree
of promise of earning a reduction of term
and to separate these classes with special
privileges.
arrive at the naval prison. the chaplain
suggests that commendable as the disci-
plne is. it cannot reach such cases, and he
recommends that they be transferred to
some neighboring state prison.
Another suggestion is that some system
of parole be adopted SO that young boys
guilty of absence without leave or other
minor offences mot desertion) shall, after
three years good conduct, be permitted
to re-enlist and thus be in the way to
secure an honorable discharge.

year, with some success. The officers of
the society say they never send out agents.

to a few friends and through the public
pl ess, or by one of its well-knowR officers
in person, has uniformly brought the need
ed gifts. Contributions to the society either

Since Representative Richardson Of Ten

been resorted to repeatedly in order to

In pursuing this work a number of in

original document be discovered. The dates
of the orders were known and upon search

was found more complete than could be
ascertained in the official files. The PA
