District Executions
Fall Upon Zinkhan

TIE question OF the execution of crimi-
mails in the District. apparently Is caus-
tng no concern to District officials. Ac-
cording TO the Interpretation placed
upon the law by Commissioners Judson
and others. the power to execute the
death penalty is conferred upon L. F.
Zinkhan, superintendent OF the Wash
ington Asylum and Jail.
Under the last District appropriation
act the Jail and workhouse were COM
bined under the title of the Washing
ton Asylum and Jail. The position of
the warden Of the jail was abolished
and L. F. Zinkhan, superintendent OF
the Washington Asylum. was appointed
superintendent of the new institution.
At that time the question of the legal
!ty of the execution of prisoners was
raised, the law providing that the war
den of the Jail shall he the execution-r.
BY the terms Of The District appropria-
ton act, however, ''all the duties, discre-
ton, and power vested in the warden of
the Jail were transferred to and vested
IN the superintendent of the Washington
Asylum and Jail"
The law was drawn by the Corpora
ton Counsel Of the District, gone over
der the scrutiny of lawyers on the
House and Senate District Committees" ,"
said Commissioner Judson today.
The Interpretation is that the super
intendent of the Washington Asylum
and Jail shall conduct executions, which
was one of the duties formerly imposed
upon the warden of the jail. No further
opinions ontthe subject will be requested
by the Commissioners, as in my opinion
the law is clear"
Superintendent Zinkhan said today
that he regarded the execution of the
death penalty as one Of his duties, and
will prepare to carry into effect the
sentences imposed upon Matte z. Lo-
max and Arthur johnson. who were
condemned by the court to be hanged
November 20.

Miss Rhesus is not to nave anything to

sighted railroad men Of this country.

to tax the freight-carrying capacity
of the line. and put up to the rail-
road management the problem of how
to care for the added business.
