THE ALEXANDRIA JAIL.

The old city jail which has under
cone extensive remodeling, is now be-
Iieyed to be one of the most up-to-date
prisons in the state of Virginia. With
an expenditure Of approximately S10,.
$40 600 Of the Jail, which is nov
nearing completion, will be turne1
over to the committee on public
| lie property on Wednesday of this week.
This Improvement had its origin with
Mr.. C. B. Marshall, who was chairman
Of the public property committee, and
is now member Of the finance commit
tee. He and Mr.. E. G. Dunn, city en-,
gineer, made up and worked ont gen
eral plan for renlodeling the old city
iail, which was built many years ago.
It was considered fiue jail in its day,
but the sweep of Improvements made
it before the remodel;ng, one OF the or
binary jails in the country.
The contract for the new jail, was
executed by Mr.. F. J. Paff, mayor;
and Mr.. B F. Smith, of Washington,
D. c., proprietor of the B. T. Smith
Fire Proof Construction Company, on
the thirtieth day of August, 1910, and
in this short space of time, the jail has
been remodeled and now it is an up-to-
date jail in every respect; with the hest
ventilation, and all sanitary arrange
mentS,
The Jail is divided up in the follow
ing manner: On the first floor there
are ten steel cells. each 6 feet II inches
wide, feet deep, and { feet high, on
the inside. Five OF these cells are for
white prisoners, and five are for color
ed prisoners, having corridor SO feet
long, by feet 6 inches wide, on each
side of the cells; having shower baths
and al sanitary Improvements. The
second tier OF cells consists OF twelve
cells, consisting of detention cells for
black and white ;cells for insane; juvenile
black and white; female, black and
white; also two dungeon cells for prls-
oners, where they can he punished II
necessary, by being locked mp in these
dark cells. There is also separate from
the main prison, two cells; one for tn
berculosis, and one for infectious and
contagious diseases, IS required by the
laws of Virginia. The jail is heated by
hot water, modern plant having been
installed. There is also new system
OF plumbing throughout. and electric
lighting.
Mr.. W. ". Ballenger, chairman OF
tue public property committee. his as
sociates Messrs. Thomas Chauncey, c.
3. Swan, C. ]. ". Summers and Mr..
Z. c. Dunn, deserve credit for the ser
vices they rendered the city in this I'M
proyement, having gotten the work
completed in SO short time, and in
satisfactory manner. Mr.. Z. r.
Smith, contractor, and Mr. J A. Page,
his superintendent. were willing 10
make many changes which developed
as the work progressed, and many OF
these changes were made without cost
to the city in the forms Of extras.
The steel cells are controlled by a
system OF locking devices, whereby five
cells can be locked and unlocked at one
time, or any one Of the cells can be
locked or unlocked separately. The
jail has capacity for oyer one hundred
prisoners.

TO QUESTION V. VI. i. FACULTY

Z
General Nichols, superintendent OF
the Virginia Military Institute, says
that the fact that some OF the professors
knew OF the contemplated meetings OF
the third class and had advised against
them, but failed TO notify the authori-
ties, would be the subject Of an inTestl-
CATION later.
Thus it would seem that the trouble
OF the third class is not yet at al end,
and that new and additional facts OF
public interest may follow in the near
future, It is said that this may mean
discipline for the subprofessors who
were cogni;ant Of the meetings Of the
cadets in the expelled class. The fact
that these subproiessors had been mere
| ~ advised against the ACT is moi regard
ed as Implying the course they should
have followed

Military Institute last night unanimous
~ refused to reinstate any of the Y
members OF the third class of the insti.

Wrecked bv q Knife Blade.

A ship was once wrecked on tho
Irish coust. The captain was care
full one. Nor had the weather been of
so severe 81 kind MS to explain the
wide distance which the vessel had
swerved from her proper course. The
ship went down. but SO much interest
attached to the disaster that q diving
bell was sunk. Among other portions
of the vessel that were examined was
the compass that was swung on the
deck. and inside the compass box was
detected bit of steel. which appeared
to be the small point Of pocket
knife blade. 1t was learned that the
day before the wreck sailor who
had been set cleaning the compass
had used his pocket knife in the proc
ess and had unceremoniously broken
off the point and left 1t remaining In
the box. That bit Of knife blade ex-
erted its influence on the compass and
to n degree that detected the needle
from It's proper bent and vitiated It as
an index Of the ships direction. That
bit of knife blade wrecked the vessel.
