ESCAPES BY GIRLS
THEME OF SPEAKER
Mrs. Mussey Cites Need of
White Reform School.

The explanation OF numerous escapes
made by girls from charitable homes in
Washington lies in the fact that there
is no reform school for white girls in
the vicinity of this city said Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey, in an address before
the Womans Interdenominational Union
yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Mussey claimed that to keep the
girls occupied while inmates of the in
stitutioEs to which they are now sent is
the only way to keep them from thoughts
of escape. 1t was said the girls are idle
a Sreat part of the time, and their
thoughts turned to making plans for
escape. Mrs. Mussey declared the agi-
tation in favor Of a reform school for
white girls was the most important
movement now before the District
An appeal to have the moving picture
shows closed on Sunday was made by
Rev. F. T. \ Benson, pastor of Rhode
Island Avenue Methodist Church. Other
addresses were made by Rev. W. A
Melvin and Rev. L. f. Purdum. Mrs
Culbertson, president of the union, pre-
sided at the meeting

WITHOUT A JAIL CAPITAL
WILL HAVE DIFFICULTIES
New Law Conflicts with Old Ones that May Have to
Be Repealed Question of Executions
Is Problem

Washington, already known for many
things besides being the seat of the
government of the United States, will
have another distinction after July l, if
present plans are carried out. 1t will
be the only city in the country without
a Jail.
The cause of economy, which has been
a byword with the present administration
for years. is responsible for this state
OF affairs, for in the District appropria
ton bill passed by the last Congress the
warden of the District Jail and fifty en-
ployes are legislated out of office, and
the institution is affiliated with the
Washington Asylum Hospital.
The story in The Washington Herald
yesterday morning, giving an account
Of present conditions, was the talk of
the legal profession yesterday through
out the city. Many complications are
bound to arise, they say, unless some
old laws are repealed.
Need of Habeas Corpus.
Most prominent among the Complica-
uons, they say. is one that will affect
prisoners confined and awaiting trial
Without Jail, which is practically part
of a criminal court, the prisoners will
be confined in the Washington Asylum
Hospital. To bring the prisoners into
court to stand trial. they say. will neces-
state habeas corpus proceedings. as
they will be outside of the Jurisdiction
of the court when they are not lodged
in jail.
Another complication, which will arise
this summer, is that of executing muir
derers. At the present time there are
seven persons in the jail awaiting trial
for murder. To execute a man now
the death warrant must be signed by
the President and forwarded to the
warden of the jail and he is commits
stoned to execute the prisoner. II there
is no Jail. there will necessarily be no
warden. and If Superintendent Zinkhan
who il is said is to become superintendent
of the consolidated Jail and Washington
Asylum Hospital. does the executing.
the act, it is pointed out. will be outside
the pale of the law.
The proposition. however. does not seem
The Washington herald., 1911-03-11

to bother the Commissioners. They con-
tend they are acting within the law, and
1t Will mean facilitating the handling of
criminals. They also claim it will be a
big saving in the current expenses of
the District
Will Destroy Buildings.
The friends of Warden Mckee, who is
to be dropped from the rolls at the time
OF the consolidation, say that to ac-
complish their purpose the Commissioners
must destroy buildings that originally
cost 100000. and are in good repair, and
that new buildings must be erected that
will cost at least S1.5OOOO0. The Com
missioners. it is understood. intend to
make a park of the present site of the
Jail.
Warden Mckee probably will be given
a position in the Department of Justice.
The Attorney General recently com
mended Warden Mckee on the showing
he has made while in charge of the Jail.
and he has many warm friends in the
department.
What Warden Mckee Has Done.
DR.. d. X. Shute. the physician at the
Jail, says that while the conditions at
that institution in the past were unsatis
factory, Warden McKees management
has resulted in creditable reforms. Since
Capt. McKee's incumbency of the posi-
tiOn of warden" he says, the sanitary
condition of the institution has been rev.
Olutionized by means of new and mod
ern plumbing. by doing away with the
OverCrOWdinE, and for the first time in
years by securing an adequate supply
of medicines for the sick prisoners. The
institution is now in such a modernized
condition. and is fast nearing compile

source OF pride to the citizens of Wash

I'm the light of the vital improvements
that have been made at the United States
Jail under the able and enlightened pol

of the opinion that it will he very seri-

POSTAL CLERKS ORGANIZING.
Unions Will Be Formed in All Sec

Frank Morrison, secretary of the

in every part of the country within the
next two months.
About twenty-five local unions have
been formed already, and Mr. Morrison
considers that it IS only a question of
time before all of the clerks will be
organized.
II is thought that if the clerks or
ganize they will be able to obtain better
conditions in the service, but Mr.. Nor
rison says that it is not the purpose to
organize in order to strike when they
are not suited.

KID SHEA SPRINGS SURPRISE.
Substitutes With Dave DeshIer in Fall

so badly injured his hand in his bout

ALCER'S BOUT.
Clever Cambridge Lad
Puts Out Young AheaIn.
The New York Boxer Is Very
Much OutCIaSSed.
Ollie KalIock Wins from Young
MiIIiken Of Gardiner.

At na tim during the bout between
George Alaer of cambridge ana Young
Ahearn of SNeE York, which was the
main event "ou the card Of sports offered
by + W. Hanks at city hall Thursday
evening. did Abearn aet Il glimpse of
anything in the way of a possibility that
could land him winner or even bring
him within haiIng distance of being m
the same class with the clever Cambridge
boxer. In fact, the bout was so one
sided that il was nearly devoid Of inter-
est, and perhaps the more so because Of
the advance notices relative to the prov
ess of the New York lad.
As the two boys entered the ring they
looked to be we'll matched. although Al
ger appeared to be heavier. but otherwise
it is doubtful If odds would have been
given either way. When the first round
opened. however. things looked different.
Alger began by landing his right full in
Ahearn's face and without getting a re-
turn, and the rounds which followed were
largely continuation of the same per-
Torrance. Only once, in the third round,
did Ahearn show anything like class. and
in that he succeeded in getting in n blow
was far too clever for him and caught
him with right and left punches that
hurt In the last minute of the fourth
round Alger cut loose and as the gong
sounded had his man guessing,
The end came in the fifth. The round
had but started when Alger caught
Ahearn on the jaw with a straight right
to the jaw and he went down on the mat
like a log, rolled over on his back, and
as Referee Sears started the count
Ahearn's seconds threw up the sponge
and the bout was over. This was to have
been two six-round bouts but the jour
ney was cut short.
As a second main bout. which proved
more of fight than the chief attraction,
Ollie Kalloch of Shirley and Young Mil
liken of Gardiner went six rugged rounds
and won the approval of the large au-
dence present This bout proved to be
Kaloch's all the way through, and while
Milliken started in well he could not seen,
to get away from Kallochs drives TO the
stomach and wind. which slowed him
up before the second round was over
Kalloch nearly closed Milliken's left eye,
but came out of the bout himself with
hardly a scratch.
Young Joe Cans and Jimmie Bolduc
went four rounds as a preliminary in
which Joe proved thu much more clever
of the two. and had he put little more
steam into his wallops he might have
sent the other boy to dreamland
The event closed with a bout between
two youngsters, Young Poulin of Angus
Ia and Young Leary of Winthrop. and
