PLENTY Of AIR AND LIGHT
. FOR DISTRICT PRISONERS
Institution at 0ccoquan to
Be Constructed on I'M
proved Plans.

Instead Of great piles of stone and steel,
the District penal institutions at Oc-
coquan may be nothing more prison like
than a tuberculosis hospital. as the OPEN
air style Of keeping prisoners is making
great impression on the Commission
ers. Maj. Judson, Engineer Commission
err, said today that the temporary struc-
lures now being built might turn out to
be the permanent quarters for the pris-
oners.
I'VE have had such great success in
our experiment and the prisoners have
enjoyed such fine health that the new
penal quarters may be modelled along the
line of an outdoor school or camp. The
buildings will probably be made just as
the building and dormitories of tubercu-
losis camp are built.
Wide-Open Windows.
In the summer it will be possible to
remove the windows and make the build
ings practically wide open to the air.
There has been some thought of doing
away with a stockade around the quar-
tiers now under construction, but 1 think
We will have a wall. Without a wall or
stockade we would require a great many
more guards. The square in which the
quarters will stand Is practically 500
yards on each side. A great many guards
would have to be employed"
Commissioner Judson has three bricks
in his Office made from clay found at
OccoQuan. The bricks are of good quail
ity and the superstition is that brick
plant will be established on the reserva-
ton. Supt. Whitaker has been planning
one for several weeks.
Freight Vessel Employed.
The District will obtain the Gen. War
rem to tow barges back and forth from
Occoquan to Washington. The Gen. War
rem is a government boat that has been
used by the War Department in dredg-
ing projects and similar matters in this
neighborhood. 1t is taken in trade for
some old dredging material.

NO CHANGE IN RULE
Order for Vaccination of
School Children to Stand.
BOARD OF EDUCATION FIRM
No Attempt to Solve the Legal
Questions Involved.
OPPONENTS OF THE LAW HEARD
Argument Presented in Denial Of
the Right Of Compulsory
Vaccination.
OPPONENTS OF THE LAW HEARD

No change in the position of the board
Of education regarding the vaccination
Of school children will follow the hearing
Of the vaccination committee held at the
Franklin School yesterday. Although
none of the board will! express an opin-
ion for publication, there is, it is stated.
scarcely any possibility of the board of
education attempting to solve the legal
questions presented by the opponents of
compulsory vaccination. The matter will
undoubtedly be settled in court.
No further proof Of the boards posi-
ton in the matter of excluding unvac-
cinated children from school is needed,
1t is pointed out, than today's order to
unvaccinated children together SO that
those whose parents are too poor to pay
for vaccination can be vaccinated free
Of charge. A census Of the kindergarten
and Of the first and second grades of the
colored schools shows 219 unvaccinated
children. and a census Of white children
Is being undertaken SO that they will
have the same opportunity to receive
treatment.
Supervising Principals Advised.
Asst Supt. Roscoe Conkling Bruce
sent an order to supervising principals
Of the colored schools today asking them
to meet all unvaccinated children before
10 o'clock Saturday, October I. Teachers
will be detailed to conduct all pupils
unvaccinated. and whose parents wish
them to be vaccinated free of charge, to
the Simmons School or the Stevens
Medical inspectors detailed from the
health Office will do the vaccinating with
out charge.
There is nothing compulsory in this
plan. 1t simply gives the children an op-
portunity to be vaccinated.
Legal View Presented.
Darr argued before a special committee
Of the board Of education yesterday, rep
resenting the Anti-Compulsory VACCINE
ton Society and the Personal Liberty
League. Their arguments were from the
legal viewpoint only. medical argu-
ment had been prepared by Harry B.
Bradford, president Of the Anti-Compul-
sorry Vaccination Society. but was not
presented.
Mr.. Balderston said that the laws on the
subject are ambiguous and defective. and
that the board of education had no RICH,
to make any construction of some of the
ambiguous terms.
The main argument was presented by
Mr.. Darr. He said that the law which
says that children should be vaccinated
or otherwise protected" before beins
admitted to school leaves a wide-opeI
door through which children living In
healthy surroundings could go to school
He paid compliment to the sanitation
OF Washington by claiming at great
length and with vehemence that the
| splendid inspection and the quarantine
and other regulations enforced by thu
| District government were amply Suff1cien
| as protection against smallpox and thai

channel. to point a short distance be-
yond the navy yard. The matter will

the army engineers on the subject
A resolution was passed condemning the
grade crossing of the Pennsylvania
railroad at Virginia avenue and South
Capitol street southeast, and. urging the
Commissioners to enforce a federal law
prohibiting grade crossings in the Dis
trict. The crossing was pronounced a
menace to the residents in the locality.
Because of the danger in boarding and

ing the police department to station a
crossing officer permanently at that point.

going to private school A poor man,

compelled vaccination. He said that the
conditions In 1864, when the vaccination
law was passed, were different from the
conditions now. and that the old law is
antiquated and useless.
