WICKERSHAM'S AID INVOKED
Commissioners in Doubt Regarding
New Penal Institutions.
May Not Be Allowed to Exercise
Police Jurisdiction Over Prison
ers in Virginia and Maryland.

The Attorney General OF the United
States has been asked by the Commission
ers 10 decide a legal question raised IN
connection with the District maintaining
a workhouss IN Virginia and a reforma-
tory in Maryland. A site for the work
house has been selected in Virginia. and
Il IS practically settled the refOrmatory
will be located in Maryland.
The questions giving the officials deep
concern are Can the District government
as municipality maintain a workhouse
and exercise police jurisdiction over It's
prisoners in the Jurisdiction Of Virginia
and the inmates OF a reformatory IN Mary
land? Would the District officials have
the right 70 hold prisoners in these two
States without special powers granted
oy Congress or the States IN which the
penal institutions are located Would
the authority to maintain penal institu-
lions and detain prisoners IN The District
extend 20 Virginia and Maryland?
Eminent JUrists, IL Is said. hold 20 the
contrary, and say that II the District
builds the penal institutions, they would
have no authority 10 hold prisoners in
those States without special legislation
from Congress or the consent OF the
States. and that prisoners so detained
could obtain their liberty under a habeas
corpus act
AS a solution OF the matter. il has
been suggested that Congress pass an
act extending the authority Of the Dis
trict officials 70 maintain these prisons IN
the States OF Virginia and Maryland. II
IS doubtful whether Congress would at
tempt 10 do this. as IL is believed by the
Commissioners 10 be taking from the
States their constitutional rights
One suggestion is that the District gov
ernment exercise police authority over the
penal institutions outside the District ju-
risdiction BY having the title 20 both
vested in the United States government
This would require special legislation.
Auditor AlOnZO TWeedale. who has
given the matter study. says al the de-
cisions OF the courts are 20 the effect
that although the District IS a creature
OF the United States Il Is a municipality
and corporation. and while the COmmis-
siOners are appointed by the President
they are only officers Of the municipal
corporation. and are not IN any way 20
be considered es agents of the United
States.
