Taft Commutes Sentence
Of Colonel George Cook

Col George F. Cook. U. 8. A, retired,
who was recently sentenced by court
martial to be dismissed from the army
on various charges, today received a
feiture of one-i1alf OF his retired pay
of $3.50 a year for the next ten years.
President Taft commuted the sentence
because he regarded it as too severe.
Colonel Cooke entered the military SER
vice as second lieutenant of infantry
in October 1875. He was made colonel
February g. 1910, and was retired from
active service Marsh IL, 1910, on his own
aoplication.

WASHINGTON GAS
ACTIVE AND HIGHER
Possible Reason in Denial
of Change of Officers.
Other Matters.

Washington Gas came back good and
| strong on the local board. Just what
| started the stock on the up-track did
| not develop, but it is likely that there
has been some selling for the last few
| days on the theory that there might
be change in the office of president.
This has been rumored around the
st>eet for some time, various sugges-
| tions being made as to tthe probably
| successor of resident Mclean 1t is now
generally understood that these reports
have been entirely unfounded and that
the latter will be reelected as usual.
The annual meeting of the company
will be held in a short time, and it is
expected that announcement will be
made at that time of an active cam
paign for larger business, not only the
expansion of pipe lines, but in other
ways.
Gas stock has been weak around >77h
u7l. for several days. The first sale
this morning was IN and the last at
1Sl2. with the bulk OF the transactions
at 7skg7s1z.
Railway common was in moderate re-
quest at 81, with some small lots earlier
at 3S. The preferred was nominally
strong. a small lot of Traction shares
sold at l2S%@129.
The rest of the market for stocks was
slow, and attracted little attention. A
little Second National Bank stock sold
at Isl. Washington and Virginia pre-
ferred stock brought 65, and CONNER
cial Insurance shares 5$4.
The bond market was by no means
active only two small lots being record
ed; one of Gas As at 1924, and another
of Gas SIS lat the same price.
The erection of another building on
the corner of Fifteenth and II streets
northwest is sure to attract attention
from financial interests seeking new
quarters, and to greatly enhance the
value of the locality as a business sec
tion-decidedly more so than il Mr..
Woodward has carried out his original
intention of erecting a modern hotel
on the corner.
Money is decidedly easy in Washing
ton. Bankers are looking over bond in
vestments these days. and this is a
certain indication of unemployed funds
seeking moderate return with safety.

HOUSE Of DETENTION
CHARGES ARE. DENIED
No Foundation for State.
ments at Trade Board Meet
ing, Officials Say.

Charges that white and colored chill
dren are forced to sleep and eat to-
gether at the house of detention, that
danger to health and morals is rife
because children awaiting trial are con-
fined with those, who have been con-
victed, and that the building is "a dis
, grace to the city," today brought indig-
nant denial from officials in charge of
the institution.
That there is need of a new house of
detention, erected especially for the
purpose, was admitted by Major SyI-
vester, of the Police Department, who
was responsible for the establishment
of the institution, ten years ago, and
who is in direct charge Of It, But
Major Sylvester said today that the
charges made by Walter A. Brown,
chairman of the Board of Trade COM
mittee on public order, at last nights
Board of trade meeting, are unfounded.
Sergeant Bode, who is assigned to
the house of detention as its superin-
tendent. said today that in the two
years and more that he has been in his
children have ever been made to sleep
or eat in the same rooms.
Everything Clear.
LAS to the cleanliness of the build
ing said Sergeant Bode. "a visit to
every room will answer that charge.
Whether there have been occupants or
not. the rooms are thoroughly cleaned
and aired every day. The bedding is
changed every morning II the bed has
been used the night before. All women
or children who are sent to the House
OF Detention have to battle as soon as
they are entered on the books. II they
don't do 1t themselves they are given
one And there is a separate bath
room for white and colored children"
Major Sylvester corroborated in de-
tail the refutation of the charges. He
said that many times the place was
crowded because of the old-style build
ing used, and a lack Of room, but that
al no time have white and colored
children been compelled to sleep or eat
In the same room.
A reporter for The Times was shown
over the building which is located at
the corner of Eighteenth street and
New York avenue northwest. There
were two colored boys and on white
boy held there. The colored boys were
in a separate room. and the white boy
was IN a lounging room across the hall.

One of the most embarrassing things
a country editor has to contend with
is the disposition of people to wait un-
til the last moment Of going to press
and then rush in with their items
which they "want In this week sure"
This is particularly the case with
those who wish to make announce.
ments which they expect to have in
serted gratis. People do not reflect
upon the fact that the paper is made
up during the whole week and that
Its capacity is limited to just SO much
and the matter gauged accordingly.
II the editor should await the conven-
ience of those who have something
they want published he would not get
his paper out until the next week and
then he would have to delay two or
three days until some kind friend had
made up his mind about q notice he
wants In but which he hasn't been
able to prepare just to suit him. A
great many people don't get their
notices published In consequence of
this disposition to put of to the last
minute, but those not interested never
notice the omission; the paper appears
on time and the world moves on just
the same.
