Parole Board Planned.

In connection with the plan it is pro-
posed to establish a parole board whose
duty it will be to determine when pris-
oners are ready for release and to en-
deavor to find positions for them after
they have been discharged. The pro-
posed law will establish maximum limit
of two years upon the time prisoner
may be retained at the workhouse.
The charity boards report will. 1t Is I'M
derstood, recommend other changes in the
penal system Of the District Of Columbia.
1t is not considered likely that the Com
missioners will take up the matter with
Congress at the short session, although
it probably will be one of the first sub
jects to be given attention in the event
of an extra session.

NEW BUILDING TOPIC
Moving of Forest Service Is
Discussed.
NO DECISION is REACHED
Committee Of the Department of
Agriculture Takes Up Matter
at Meeting.

Moving the forest service from it's rent
ed quarters on F street to a special build
ing erected in or near the Agricultural
Department grounds. was the most i'm
portant thing discussed at the session OF
the building committee of the Depart
| ment of Agriculture at it's session yester-
day. The committee has not had time to
make a formal report to Secretary Will
son. but the meeting discussed plans for
the coming year and outlined in gen.
eral way what was desirable.
There was no definite conclusion
reached about the new forest service
building but it has been considered for a
long time and probably will be one of
the next important matters presented to
Congress. 1t is known that Secretary
Wilson is in favor Of the move and that
it has the approval of the higher officers
of the forest service.
Officials of the department point out
that the F. street building now occupied
by the forest service is very expensive,
costing about $4,000 a year. and is not
particularly well adapted to the use of
the service. For little more than the
rental, they assert, a building better
and more conveniently located for admin
istrative purposes could be built on
ground now owned by the government,
either in the Mall or in some of the new
property bought south of Pennsylvania
avenue.
Want Substantial Structure.
If Congress is asked for an appropria-
| ton 1t probably will be enough for sub
stantial structure, in keeping with the
general character Of the two new wings
built by the department. 1t is hardly ex-
pected, however, that the coming short
session of Congress will feel disposed to
go in for extensive departmental build
| ing, SO the prospect of a move is by no
means imminent.
One thing practically settled in the De-
partment is that no effort will be made
to get an appropriation for finishing the
new main building the Department now
occupies. This now consists of an east
and west wing, with a big space between
the two that eventually will be filled in
| with rotunda and such administration
| offices as can be located in it.
| 1t is claimed that what is needed is adj
ditional floor and Office space and as the
central building. If erected. would be
! largely ornamental. it is not likely to be
commended in the near future.

Bill Being Prepared.

A committee Of the Federation Of Citi-
zens' Associations has been instructed to
make a. study of the matter and is now
engaged in preparing bill. with the OBJ
iect of bringing about the legislation de-
sired.
1t is understood that the board OF char
tiles report will treat OF the subject ex-
haustively, and it is believed that the
Commissioners will send to Congress q
bill carrying out the recommendation to
be made by the board.
The principal reason urged Tor an moe,

make possible the retention Of prisoners
at the workhouse until they have been
conditioned for returning to society. IL
is pointed out by Supt Whitaker that
sentences of from fifteen to sixty days
often are insufficient for bringing about
satisfactory changes In either the phys
ical or moral condition of the prisoners.
