WANT REFORM SCHOOL
ENLARGED FOR WHITES
Board of Trade May Appeal to
Congress for $4,000
Addition.

A recommendation that the Board Of
Trade back an appeal to Congress for an
appropriation of $50, 900 to erect an addi-
ton to the Girls Reform School for the
use of white girls will be made by the
committee on charities and corrections
of the board. At a meeting of the COM
mittee yesterday afternoon in the office
OF Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey the fact
that the District Girls Reform School
is at present used only for colored girls
and white girls are committed to private
institutions for correction was deplored
The legality OF such commitments by the
Juvenile Court was questioned also, and
in the opinion of lawyers on the commit
tee the court is not authorized to send
white girls to any institution not con-
trolled by the District government.
A subcommittee, cons. sting of Judge
!. G. Kimball William Mex. Clayton
and B. L. Janney reported to the COM
mttee recommending that the Girls Re-
form School be enlarged SO as to provide
for the accommodation of white girls
1t was explained that when the Girls
Reform School was established 1t was
tor both white and colored girls. but the
number of colored girls cared for there
has so greatly increased that the white
girls have been crowded out.
AS pointed out at present white girls
are now sent to the House of the Good
Shepherd. House of Mercy, Florence
Crittenton Home. Hope Mission and SIM
liar institutions in the District which
are private institutions.
The recent escape of Florence Carey
from the House Of the Good Shepherd
to which she had been committed by the
Juvenile Court, and her avowed determi-
nation not to remain in the institution,
has aroused still further interest in the
question.

Commitments May Be Illegal.

Walter c. C1ephane, chairman of the
committee, after the meeting yesterday
said that he had looked into the law gov
erning the commitment of girls to in
stitutions by the Juvenile Court and that
he was convinced that under the law es-
tablishing the court it was possible for
the court to commit girls only to the Re
form School for Girls or to some insti-
tuition governed by the District.
Judge De Lacy Of the Juvenile Court de-
Tended his action on the grounds of GUS
tom and eApediency. He pointed out that
there were no quarters at the Reform
School for Girls for white girls; that the
entire institution was occupied and had
been occupied for some time by colored
girls.
y report Of the subcommittee appointed
to draft a plan to centraiZe and stand
ardize the charity work of the District
was submitted and discussed at some
length. No action was taken, and the
matter was referred back to the SUBJ
committee with instructions that it con-
suit with the Associated Charities and
other organizations which have taken up
the same question.

SET HACK AND HORSE ATTIRE.
Flaming Runaway as Result, of Jcal-
Ousy Of Negro Man.
ATLANTA Journal, 5th.)

When Henry Parks, colored, learn
ed that a certain woman in whom he
was personally interested had been
taken for a ride a few nights ago in
ia Moss's public hack, the demon
of jealousy assailed him.
He followed the hack for half a
mile or more and hid behind n tree
when it stopped. This was the last
seen of Parks that night, but his al
legged handiwork was %beholden by
gods and men.
The hack driver left his vehicle
standing by the curb, and escorted
the IN up the front steps and
into the hall Of the house. Mean
while somebody entered the hack
with a big can Of kerosene, and thor
oughly saturated it, sprinkling a few
drops on the horses tail, after which
he applied a match.
The hack driver emerged from the
house just in time to see his cab,
transformed into a chariot of fire,
pursuing its fame course around a
distant corner. The horses tail was
streaming light like the misplaced
~aDpendage Of a comet.
Sure that none but the devil could
rlde IN such a perambulating volcano,
behind such a steed, people fed
shrlekfng to right and left. Nobody
dared stop 1T, for to tell the truth no
body knew whether those Tres had
been kindled on earth or in the realm
where flame is unquenchable.
So when the poor horse finally fell,
GREATNESS. almost tailless, little was
left of the hack but a twisted mass Of
hot iron and charred wood.
An accusation charging malicious
mischief has been sworn out in the
criminal court of Atlanta, and Parks
VIII be tried before Judge Andrew
Calhoun.

SOME WOULD ANNEX CANADA
Madden Advocates Reciprocity us

,tWashington Post, May q
For the second time during the de-
bate on the farmers free-list bill an
Illinois Representative yesterday,
dragged in the subject Of the annex
alton Of Canada This time it was
Mr.. Madden. Three days ago Mi.
Prince Drophesied the political union
Of Canada and the United States as
the result Of q ratification Of the
reciprocity trade agreement by Con-
gress.
Representative Madden spoke as an
advocate OF reciprocity. He referred
to the proposed reciprocal trade re-
lation as a means to the amalgama-
ton OF the two countries. 'My hope
Is that, If we can have closer COM
mercial relations with the people of
Canada" he declared, "some LAY this
relationship may blend the two peo-
pies into II harmonious whole; and
that the territory lying north of us
may become a part Of the United, as
1T should be. have always believed
that we should be one people, under
one flag, and under one form Of gov
eminent, and it will be better for us
all when such a thing happens, if it
ever does"
Raised Stars and Stripes.
Having pulled down the Union
Jack and raised the stars and
Stripes, Mr.. Maddc~ proceeded to
make a general attack on the free
list bill. He announced that, under
Democratic rule "the only sale of
property was the sheriff's sale, and
the only sound of the hammer
throughout the land was that of the
auctioneer."
According to the present plans of
the Democratic leaders, no vigorous
effort will be made to bring the free
list to a vote at any specified time.
Chairman Underwood, Of the ways
and means committee, said yesterday
that he hoped to reach a vote by Fri
day. He made 1t plain, however, that
all the time desired by members who
wish to be heard on the measure will
be given. 1t is Altogether possible
that the debate may extend into next
week.
Representative Longworth, of
Ohio, a Republican member of the
ways and means committee, attacked
the free list bill in strong terms in
the first speech yesterday from the
opposition side.
Attack Free-Iist Bill.
Messrs. Gillette, Of Massachusetts,
and Dyer, of Missouri, attacked the
free list bill because it puts jute bag
ging, used to bale cotton with, upon
the free list, thereby threatening the
bag-makiDG industry Of this country.
MI. Cox, Of Indiana, supported the
bill and attacked opponents Of the
reciprocity measure, recently passed.
Mr.. Rucker, Of Colorado, Democrat,
who voted against the Cant dian reci-
procity bill, attacked that measure in
a speech favoring the free list bill.
He said he had been criticised for
not abiding by the action of the DEM
ocratic caucus in favor of reciprocity,
but explained that he opposed the
measure because he believed 1t un-
fair to the farmer.
