Judge StaffOrd'S Engagements.

Midsummer brings little rest to Judge
Wendell P. Stafford because of his nn-
merous engagements. Thursday evening
he delivers the address at Rutland at the
midsummer meeting of the Vermont Bar
Association. From there he goes to
Boston TO meet the commission recently
appointed by the President to examine
the leading prisons of the country and
recommend to the next Congress a new
Jail for the District of Columbia. The
present building is overcrowded and has
long outlived its day. The commission,
of which Judge Stafford is chairman,
consists besides of Washington banker
and a government architect and they
win first visit the Concord reformatory.
While Judge Stafford may not be able to
visit many prisons, the other members
of the commission hope to 60 as far
as Leavenworth, Kansas, in their tour.
The President is deeply interested in the
prospect Of a new jail in Washington
and will make the commissions report
a part of his message to the next Con-
gress.
Judge Stafford returns to Vermont the
last of next month and is booked for
Sept. p at Barre, where he will deliver
the address at the dedication of that
city's new library.
