INVESTIGATION IS BEGUN
so WITNESSES EXAMINED
Coroner and His Jury Hope to Place
the Responsibility for the Terrible
Disaster on the 3. & o. at WASH
ington.
Publishers Press.1

Washington, Jan. 2.-An endeavor
to determine the cause and fix the re-
sponsibility for the Terra Gotta wreck
Sunday night on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad began at the District morgue.
The conoer's jury of six men visited
the scene OF the wreck. More than so
witnesses were summoned. Indica-
tions point TO several days of work
before the jury renders its verdict.
The principal point of contention de-
veloped is as to whether the proper
signals were displayed at Takoma. a
station in the middle of the block.
The coroner's jury of six men visited
says his signals were set red which,
IL observed by the engineer of the
dead" train, should have prevented
the collision. The engineer maintains
there were no signals at Takoma.

FAVORS MAKING
PRISONERS WORK
Ex-Sheriff Smith Gives Ideas
About Treating Those Who
Live on County.
WOULD SELL THEIR LABOR
HE THINKS THAT COUNTY COULD
GET NEARLY ENOUGH MONEY
TO MEET EXPENSES OF KEEP
ING UP THE JAIL.

Ex-Sheriff Dick Smith, who re-
tired from office Monday, is a firm be-
lever in the work house and probably,
if his wishes had been followed by
the county council and city, Wayne
county would now have an up-to-date
work house conducted on the same ba-
sis as those of the penitentiaries and
reformatories in Indiana and many
other states of the union.
In a recent interview Sheriff Smith
said, Il have been in office just long
enough to see the error of the pres.
ent day method of Imprisonment as
used in this county. Instead of max
ing the prisoners work regularly, there
are many days which they are unable
to do SO on account of tn eweather. At
the present time, prisoners confined at
the Jail cannot work in the rude shed
which has been arranged for crack
ing stone. 1t is too cold, and there
is always some delay in getting
enough stone to keep the prisoners on
the move. The laying of the heating
pipes between the court house and the
Jail was done by the prisoners and
this kept them occupied for some time
but l believe that place should be
provided where the prisoners could be
worked every day in the year and on
a systematic basis.
If regular stone pile is not arrang-
ed for it would be good thing if
some building were erected in the
rear of the Jail on Second street,
where there would be no danger of
prisoners escaping. Let the building
be erected by the county and leased
to some firm for the manufacture of
brooms, handles or some other good
selling article, the manufacturer buy
ing the labor of the prisoners from the
county at some stipulated price, just
enough to pay the running expenses of
the JAIL This work could be let to
the highest bidder. The county ought
to get at least seventy-five cents a day
for convict labor.
There might be some objection to
the plan owing to the chance it would
give the prisoners to escape, but a
warden could be placed over the men
while all the windows and doors
would have to be barred. l do not
think that there would be any great
uduSoT VI Tic COuHIy
by establishing such work house.
IF this plan were adopted the terms
of the prisoners would have to be in
creased or some industry would have
to be conducted, which the men could
learn easily and quickly. as many of
the men serving time in the county jail
would hardly be worth the price which
the county received for their work, ow-
ing to the short sentences. / believe
that many of the habitual drunkards
should receive longer terms as the
number of their misdemeanors in
This would do away to a
certain extent with those persons
who are continually getting into trou
BILE on the same old charges"
