Fence Merely a "Bluff.

Supt. Whitaker says that the barbed
wire fence is but bluff" anyhow. and
that any bright prisoner who obtains a
pair of pliers will be able to get away
unless the guards. stationed one at each
corner, are handy with the rife and are
the kind of men who will allow prisoners
to take no liberties.
According to Supt. Whitaker the whole
matter resolves itself into one of guards.
He says that if he can get the right kind
of men for that work there will be no
more escapes. He does not believe that a
fence or stockade around the winter
quarters which the men are now building
will have any real effect, and he will
recommend to the Commissioners that
there be no stockade. The reason for
this is that the men will be working on
the Observation-Disclosures farm all day in
gangs Of fifteen to a guard, and the only
time they will be in their quarters will
be at night.

Force to Be Reorganized.

Although fourteen prisoners have broken
away, Supt Whitaker is not discouraged.
He says that it is almost certain that men
will break away from some of the guards
he has, and is cleaning out his force with
an iron hand. Eleven guards were sent to
him after appointment by the Commits
sioners before he had seen them and ex-
amined into their fitness to handle pris-
oners.
He has several Virginia guards in serv-
lar with rifle at 500 yards. These men
have instructions to shoot the first con-
Wet who tries to escape. The runaways,
however, do not take the risk of breaking
away in the open but drop behind bush
or a log and await their chance to worm
into the thicket.
Just how easy 1t is for a determined
man to get away can be seen when 1t is
understood that there is almost no re-
straint on the men except the moral re-
striction of guaro and rifle. The Oc-
cOquan site is observation-disclosures
woodland. The men live in tents in a stock
ade. The stockade is fenced with a dou-
BILE row of barbed wire, the strands of
which are but six inches apart. The poles
of this stockade are about five feet apart
and the fence is fourteen feet high.
One of the very first escapes was made,
however, through the stockade. A pris-
oner with an eye for liberty went through
it and swan the river. He left some of
his stripes on the barbed wire, but he
got clean away.

Fleeing Prisoners to Be Trail
ed by B|oodhounds.
OCC0QUAN LOSES WORKERS
Convicts Engaged on District Insti-
tutions Effect Escape.
|RUNAWAYS NUMBER FOURTEEN
Expert Gunners, Employed al
Guards, Given Instructions to
Shoot Detected Deserters.

Because of the frequent escapes of pris-
oners from the workhouse site at Deco
guam. Supt. Whitaker is considering. the
ACCESSIBILITY of keeping a few bloodhounds
to trail the runaways. The fourteenth
prisoner to escape made away yesterday
under the nose of guard named Rems-
burg, who was detailed to watch a small
squad of conv1cts at their work in clear
ing up a wooded patch near the site of
the "subpermanent quarters now under
construction.
The prisoners name was not given out
last night. but it is probable that, unless
he is caught today, the police of the Dis
trict will be notified. Guards beat the
bush and patrolled the roads and railroad
tracks in the vicinity of Occoquan on
both sides of the creek last night. It is
believed that the runaway stuffed himself
at dinner time, preparing for long fast.
and that he took with him all the food he
could smuggle into his clothes.

Recapture Of Three.

Three of the fourteen who have escaped
came back in handouts at various times,
and are now hobbled in leg irons and are
at hard labor. For a month they will be
ironed. One of the three has threatened
to get away again the minute the leg
irons come Off
The runaways do not let the matter OF
wearing stripes interfere with their plans
for liberty. Because of the unpopularity
of the workhOuse among some of the
country people in that neighborhood, es-
pecially among the colored farm hands, il
is believed by the guards that many are
willing to change a runaway's clothes for
him and send him along to safety.

An EDITOR AMONG MANY.

The decision Of Alfred B. Williams
to transfer his abilities and activities
to another city leaves large hole In
the life of Richmond First of all,
Mr.. Williams is an excellent citizen.
public-spirited. progressive. of wide
and quick interests. touching the busy
life about him at many points and
seeing significance and usefulness in
them all. In any capacity he is the
sort of man WHOM it helps the people
OF city to have among them. But in
his own cage .A4 ihe qualities of a
valuable citizen have been given a
high light and multiplied energy by
the sort OF work it has been his lot to

of the pen. Let him who doubts this
statement try it and see. In very
rare measure, Mr.. Williams possesses
the gift of writing to please all those
whom we mean when we speak of

that have recently been paid him. his
independence and fearlessness of judg-
