"All right" said Anne but she didn't
move, and Ned waited some more, pa

have his innings, and was In no hurry
to take the bat. But when he spoke the
second time he said firmly:
Come, Anne
Anne tore the letter in two. threw it
into the water and came to the little
bark, where she settled herself Indian
fashion on her knees in the business

let the boat drift while she rolled up
her cerulean blue sleeves. 1t was one
of Annes peculiarities that she always
did the padding herself. 1t was not
merely that the attitude and motion
were becoming to her, though she was
aware of her good points like most
well-balanced girls. ItNwas simply that
she preferred having the men at dis
advantage, at her mercy as it were.
They always looked awkward with

Anne, elaborately surprised, held

is sent to the house of detention and there
held. Undoubtedly, the many boys who
have thus been held thankful for the
existence of such place here and the par
ents would praise it highly. This class has
numbered 800 since the house was opened
The last class is that of people who are
lost or stranded here. 1t is surprising how
many sucn people there are who come into
the hands of the police. Pending the procur-
ing of funds from friends or the location OF
friends here they kept at the house of
detention as dodgers. How many have been
helped In this way is not shown by the
figures, as families have been united, posi-
tions secured and other far-reaching bene-
fits have been bestowed by this institution.
Lost children constitute a large number
or these dodgers; and the methods en-
ployed by the officials to locate homes are
interesting and numerous. One child, who
was sent to the house, said that he lived
where the cars go around the fence"
This was the most definite direction that
could be obtained E. T. Byrne, one of the
officials Of the institution, was sent out to
locate the home He decided finally To
take the child among the Italians in the
city, as it was an Italian child. He hunted
for some time, when at last a woman in a
loud voice asked the officer what he was
doing with the child.
DO you know where he lives?" was
asked of the woman. She said she did
and the child was restored to his mother
The place was the turning point of the
cars, just above 18th street and Florida
avenue.
The house of detention IS maintained by
a special appropriation from Congress,
amounting to $4,000 a year. At first the
amount was only $4,000 year, but the
efficiency was noticed the appropriation
was raised, first to $4,000 and last year
to $4,000 That covers the salaries of
officials rent and repairs on the building,
keeping of horses and the meals for the
inmates, which are brought in from the
outside at fixed rate per meal.
The force CT officials at the institution Is

searched the woman she found jewelry.
mostly diamonds, to the value of $4,000
on the prisoner. Detective Tate Of Phfla-
delphia came for her and took her home.
Another insane woman who was
brought to the house of detention sang and
kept up a noise all night She ran the
bath tub full of water and then sat in it,
singing at the top of her voice. She then
called for something to eat, ordering a
dozen scrambled eggs. quart of ice
cream, some onions and tomatoes. She
finally got out of the tub and went to her
room, where she tore up the sheets, put
the mattress on the floor and sat up the
rest of the night.
"A woman and her little son, who came
all the way from Oklahoma to get a par
don for the head of the family from the
President. were cared for here two or three
days. Another woman and her nine chill
dren on their way from North Carolina to
Pittsburg were kept here over night.
There are young girls, who run away from
home, giving all manner of excuses for
leaving, and others who are induced to
come here by persons who represent that
they can get work here and who are res
cued from lives of degradation by the
timely intervention of the police
~.
All classes are met with in the institu-
ton, from the refined and educated to the
most ignorant and uneducated.
The privileges OF the house of detention
are sometimes abused. Cases have been
known wherein boys and girls have been
sent to the house of detention charged with
incorrigibility by their parents. Investiga-
ton has shown that the parents merely de-
sired the children kept in a safe place while
they took a trip down the river. Recently a
boy was kept several days as lost boy. 1t
was finally discovered that the boys mother
was i'll and could not take care of the child
and so she sent him to the house of deten-
ton. r.
Another boy, who told a pitiful story Of
the death of his parents, was kept about a
week. 1t developed that his parents were

| Among those who advocate a new house
Of detention is Zed H Copp, probation off,
Ger of the board OF childrens guardians He
advocates the building of a new house Of
detention, which will have all the modern
improvements of such institutions and will
also have other equipment in advance OF
others. He wants house of detention that
will have the Juvenile court room In II,
where the youthful offenders can be tried.
If 1t is good plan to detain them separate
from the old offenders why is it not Il good
plan to try them in separate courts? he
asks. If a separate court were provided the
cases could be continued until they could
be properly investigated by the probation
officers, that he could give an Intelligent
recommendation to the Judge for the dispo-
stion of the prisoner.
Also, he advocates a house of detention
large enough to allow a division of the
boys IN grades. according to the criminal
records. The boys who have committed
some serious crime, he maintains, should be
kept away from the boy who has only got
ten into a fight with another boy This is
not thoroughly practical in the present
quarters. and a new house of detention is
desired SO that 1t will be possible to en-
brace these new Ideas, as is done in New
York city.
A campaign will be made this winter for
this new house of detention. The District
Commissioners will be asked to interest
themselves in it, and other influential men
Will be asked to help, so that some definite
steps may be taken soon for the erection of
new house OF detention which would be
almost the ideal, far modern ideas go.
Those interested in the children's work
maintain that this is necessary for the
greatest good from the institution.
Another improvement that will be urged
this winter will be for an increase in the /
number of police matrons Under recent /
order of the Commissioners in all insane !
cases where the patient is violent unruly !
a matron accompanies the patient to the /
asylum, leaving at the house of de- /
tention to for any female prisoners ,
who may be sent from headquarters or from
any one of the eleven precincts during her I
absence. 1t is hoped that the next Congress
Will provide for two more matrons, so as to

WASHINGTON'S HOUSE OF
DETENTION FIVE YEARS OLD


-IVE years ago next Wednesday, Au-
gust o. 1900, there was opened in
this city the house of detention, at
II 5O5 18th street northwest, its present
location. The first five years have
clearly shown the worth OF such an in
stitution and II is seen now that It can be
used with greater success in broader lines.
That it will be developed, further is as
sured by the interest which the officials
concerned with II are showing in the mat
ter.
To the efforts OF Mai Sylvester, the head
OF the police department OF the District is
ascribed a large share OF credit for secur-
ing the house OF detention. He saw the
need for a place where youthful prisoners
could be detained under arrest and yet
where they would not be thrown with old
offenders He recognized that even tenn
porary association with thieves often led
10 the contamination of the youthful Of
fender for the rest of his life. To separate
the FIRST offenders from the hardened
criminals was the purpose in the opening
of house of detention.
An Isolated place was chosen for the loca-
ton of the institution. This was sdone in
order to keep the Juveniles away from the
public gaze The house at the corner of
New York avenue and 18th street was
equipped for the purpose. The building

basement on one side, is the stable, where
the wagons of the institution and the three
horses, are kept. Entrance IS made from
the street into the first floor by a rather
long flight Of outside steps. As one enters
the door the first door at the right leads
into the room Of the superintendent Ser
geant John Gallagher. Through hall back
of this is the Office where are the clerks
desks. etc.
On the second floor are the quarters for
the girls who are sent TO the house of
detention. At the top of the stairs Is the
room for the matrons. "A pleasant front
room. There are three other rooms. besides
a large bath room on this floor. Each of
the rooms contains three beds, in case there
are more prisoners than rooms. which often
happens The rooms are equipped with
brass beds several chairs, and usually a
table with some reading matter upon it
for the inmates 10 read. on the third floor

these restraints there is always a guard

abolished as far is possible, although
the inmates are kept in restraint.

former Russian auxiliary steamers

IOWA RAMMED LIGHTSHIP.
NEWPORT, August 26.-News that
the big battleship Iowa and the whole
North Atlantic squadron came near
piling up on the treacherous rocks Of
Brenton Reef during a dense fog last
Thursday was brought into this port
today.
The Iowa, as it was, struck the light
ship stationed at the reef and inflicted
considera bic damage, cutting down a
part of the lightship's stem to within
three feet of the water line and carry
ing away all of her headgear and part
of the forward rail.
All the other vessels of the squadron
got away without collision; but it is a
wonder that any of them avoided the
reef, so close upon it We're they led.
Captain Fogarty, who is the keeper
of the lightship, came in from Bren-
tons Reef today and the first report of
the collision was from him, as every
officer and man in the fleet has main
tanned strict silence.
