Another Source of Anxiety.

The matter Of a place of confinement for
such youthful prisoners has also been the
cause of much trouble. Mai. Sylvester is
opposed to sending them to the jail or the
workhouse. He is of the opinion that they
should be sent to the Junior Republic at
Annapolis Junction In his report on this
question the major had this to say:
referring to your communication of re-
cent date relative to a place where the
youth of the District might be committed
and their minds and bodies be employed to
advantage, if it were practicable, it occurs
to me that the Junior Republic, recently
established on farm donated for the pur-
pose in Maryland, might serve in such a
way as to meet the requirements presented
to you.
THE institution as I understand It, Is
conducted on the principle which makes II
a matter of interest to the boys confined
therein through the valuable features of
instruction and organization which are sus-
tanned.
IF arrangement could be made whereby
the youth of the District coming before our
courts might be by law placed in the Gus
tody of that institution, the same ends
would be accomplished as would be had by
the establishment of new farm and school
within the District.
Support of the Inxtitution.
Il am not sufficiently familiar with law
to know whether appropriations from the
District and government funds could be
utilized for the support of an institution
without the District Of Columbia or wheth-
er the government might join the state of
Maryland in the partnership and conduct
of same, but the idea to a layman seems
feasible
THE expense Of the maintenance Of the
Junior Republic farm, in order that the
state of Maryland might enjoy the privi-
lege which it does now, would have to be
divided between the government and that
state. and the enactment of a law which
would permit of the restraining and send
Ing of such prisoners to that institution.
"A law on the subject could be passed.
which should read something like the fol-
lowing:
BE 1T enacted. etc, That all youthful
prisoners. both male and female when ad-
judged guilty in the police or other court
In the District of Columbia, Of misdemean-
ors first or second offense, or felonies, first
offense. may be confined on the farm of
the Junior Republic, located in the state of
Maryland, where they shall be Instructed
In agriculture and manual training at an
expense Of go much per capita, the same to
be paid out Of money not otherwise appro-
priated. etc. Such prisoners to be furnish
ed with a certificate of ability and char
acter at the close Of their term Of service"
Number of Sessions.
1t is the opinion Of most Of the members
Of the police department that more than
two sessions of the court should be held
each week. Should only two sessions be
held, the house of detention, 1t Is believed,
will not be able to give accommodations at
all times to those who are awaiting trial.
