Carroll came to Csruon Falls In 1906
and had been proprietor of the MOTEL
most Of the time since. His health
began to fail last fall, and some weeks
ago he was compelled to give up ac-

Friday morning at $3.50 from the Cain

Both are we'll known young people and
have the congratulations of many

The fountain Is about twelve feet

OPPOSES DEATH FOR KIONApERS
PENALTY TOO SEVERE, Is MR..
BAKERS OPINION.
Would Be Difficult to Secure Con-
victions-Long Term Imprison-
ment, as Provided, Best.

Opposition to proposed law to make
death or imprisonment for life the pen
atty for kidnapping a person or a child in
the District, is expressed by United
States Attorney Baker in letter to the
Commissioners
Mr.. Baker was asked to give his views
OF bill introduced at the last session
of Congress by Representative Roden-
burg, providing this severe penalty for
KIDNAPPING
The section of the District of Column
b:a code relating to abduction, section
SD. seems to provide chiefly for the for
chile carrying of a person out of the Dis
trict of Columbia. and I think that an
amendment to this section which would
provide for the punishment of any one
who unlawfuly kidnaps a person or child.
even though they were confined within
the District of Columbia would be of
service in the administration of the
criminal law in this District.
I'm the first place. the punishment pro-
vided i'm section S12 of the code for an
offense of this character twenty years
Imprisonment or $1,000 fineD seems TO ME
to be adequate. and ii would interfere
considerably with the securing of con-
viction in a case OF this offense were it
possible for Judge to imprison the de-
PENDANT i'm the pententiary for life or
were it possible to sentence the defen-
dant to death. AS a practical question.
find it very difficult to secure a
viction from jury where an excessive
punishment is provided by statute
LAS to the wording of the bill itself, I
would suggest that it would probably be
wiser In amending the section to follow
more closely the wording of the original
statute. This could very readily be done
by making it an Offense to forcibly
fraudulently carry off or arrest i'm
prison any person in the District of Co
lumbia in addition to the offense of
carrying such person out Of the Dis
trict. !"

me1t Of the Indebtedness of the District of
Columbia within q reasonable time and
In such a manner as not to hamper or
curtail any of the current needs of the
District Of Columbia. 1t also provides
that the current expenses of the District
Of Columbia shall be fully met and that

1.-The plan recommended, in a compre-
hensive way, looks into the future and
provides for those extraordinary projects
which have always to be considered in a
properly managed municipal corporation.
A stated amount is set aside from the
revenues to meet these objects and, in
addition, a proportion Of the increased
revenue from year to year is added to
the sum in order to provide thoroughly
for the extraordinary projects.
Looking at the proposed plan from a
business standpoint 1t appeals to me that
it Is a thoroughly sound financial arrange

past experience 1 am sure that it will

vantage OF the District government"

gencies of the gravest character. One
Of the most serious charges upon most
municipal budgets Is for the payment of
interest 1t does not do to imagine that
a certain list of extraordinary improve
ments can be drawn up at any one time
and accomplished by means of borrow
ing money. leaving the municipality IN

embarrassment. No one list of extraor-
binary improvements is completed before
another list has been formulated. That

great amount of work that has been
done for it's Identification. and notwith-
standing the age of the city, the extraor-
binary work which is now in sight and

And this is only the ordinary story.
lone of the greatest advantages of the
plan proposed is that it provides not only
for the twenty million dollars worth of
work now in sight. but provides as we'll
for handling the extraordinary projects
+of the future on an even increasing scale
of expenditure.
Commissioner Macfarland's Views.
Congress not having adopted the Com
missioners' plan for the permanent
cost of extraordinary improvements .
said Commissioner mcfarland, Il have
agreed to the proposal of another plan
which may effect the same result, and
upon a similar principle. The apparent un-
Willingness of Congress to make further
advances at this time for extraordinary
improvements and the increase of the
revenues of the District of Columbia at
ford other reasons for proposing a DIFF
ferent plan. There has never been any
reason for increasing taxation o: any
danger of It, 1 think the additional ex-
traordinary improvements which the
Commissioners have recommended. and
which they will continue to recommend,
could be more quickly provided under the
plan heretofore recommended by the Com
missioners which, as is known, provided
for advances and for their repayment In
fixed term OF years at a minimum rate
per annum and at > per cent interest,
and which required refund of the
floating debt. but for shorter period
plan all the proposed improvements could
be begun and carried on simultaneously
and then gradual repayment be made OF

THE great projects of Improvement
which we have completed-the filtration
plant. the sewage disposal system, rail-
way terminal work. District building. the
bridges-would not have been done for
many wears to come if the advances had
not been secured from Congress for that
purpose No debt was incurred except for
these great projects. The Districts share
of their cost was about eight million dol
lars. OF that amount one-half has al
ready been paid. So that we owe only
four millions.
This Is a result of which we may all
be proud. trust that the plan now pro-
posed by the Commissioners while it may
them in the end. My desire has been to

everything but her crying need for money
and in time becomes a social outcast.
She is suffering from a trouble which
frequently throws her into spasms OF
pain. and. she says. she takes morphine
only by doctors prescription. At any
rate, the stuff has hold on her and
she cannot shake off the habit. For
tunately. the Home of the Good Shepherd
IS interested in her case, and an official
of that institution communicated with
Judge Mullownq asking that the girl
. should be sent to him. he promising to
see that she should be cured of the drug
habit and sent to her home, 100 miles
away.
She will probably go there. The case
was continued until one or two details
of receiving her at the home should be
completed. Judge Mullowny said that
she was simply one more Of the many
reasons why we should have an inebri-

he has thirst worse than any that
