SCHOOL GIRLS NOT
CLINGINGLY CLAD
Charging Them with
Using Rouge Also Denied by su-
perintendent and Principal.

That Washington high school girls
wear gowns too .clingipg" for good
taste. and that they paint and power
to excess was Indignantly denied by Of
ticials Of the Capital public schools yes
terday.
The charge of overdressing among the
girls Of the local high schools was
secuted by DR.. William NJ. Davidson.
Superintendent of Schools. and Miss
Edith Westcott. principal of Western
High School enters protest against the
painting indictment. Il don't know Of
any girl who is guilty of painting or
pOwdering her face to excess" said
Miss Westcott. Il can't remember q
single case"
washington high school girls dress
sensiby." said DR.. Davidson. They
come from good homes where they are
not allowed TO run up big bills for dress.
The only time that / know Of when
the girls show any tendency toward
rivalry in dress is at commencement. and
l think we have stamped that out pret-
ty we'll"
Both educators were quick to defend
their pupils against the charge of ap-
pearing overdressed in the F Street pa
rade.
The proposal that distinctive uni
form. such as cap and gown. or some
other such outfit. did not appeal to
either DIR. Davidson or Miss Westcott.

Law Librarian Of Congress Con.
demns Action in Case Of
xrs. Epps.
on c1RcUMsrANT1AL EVIDENCE

Recommending that Congress enact
bill providing that the Federal govern
ment compensate those who. through mis-
takes In the administration Of criminal
justice have suffered wrongs. Edwin N.
Boechard. law librarian Of Congress. yes
terday gave his views on the Epps case.
which has caused a storm Of public pro-
test against convictions on circumstan-
tial evidence.
Mrs. John Epps. Of Indiana. was con-
victed twenty-three years ago Of MUIR
derins her husband. and given 2 life SEN
tenco In prison. The evidence was Of q
purely circumstant!al character. Several
days ago her husbands brother confessed
on his death bed that he was guilty Of
the crime. Upon the order Of Gov.
Marshall. Mrs. Epps was Immediately re-
leased.
There Is no provision In either State or
Federal laws which provide for restitu-
ton in a case OF this sort. Mr.. Boe-
chard. taking the case as an example.
would have Congress enact a law to deal
with such cases Of misadministration OF
Justice as this.
COmpen ensates for Injustice.
IN Europe" said Mr. Boechard yester-
day. during the last twenty-five years. a
number Of countries have enacted elab-
Orate statutes Dy WnlCn the state unQer-
takes to compensate those individuals
who through mistakes in the administra-
ton Of criminal justice have suffered
wrongs Of the kind brought out in the
Epps case. The 10th case in Pennsyl-
vania in 1910 and the Beck case in Eng
land in 1904 are still fresh in the public
mind. I am surprised that this question
his not engaged the attention OF lawyers
and those interested In social Justice in
this country.
Il propose to urge that at the next
session OF Congress a bill be introduced
to cover such injustice in the case of
prosecuted crimes against the Federal
government. and in the State legisla-
lures to cover cases within the State
Jurisdiction. which latter is, of course.
the more pressing need The uniform
law commissioners and the legislative
committee Of the Institute Of Criminal
Law soon will take the question under
discussion. I am informed. 1t seems a
poor commentary on American Justice
that such cases as these should go un-
needed
1T is true that the unfortunate wom-
ans brother-in-law. who allowed her to
suffer for a crime which he committed
for twenty-three years. made her q bens-
ficiary Under his will as a >laSt act of
reparation. but the government and
State which brought the conviction also
should make reparation."

The average business man, when

successful. In no instance, so
far as known to this office, has a
person convited on a criminal
charge Of this character attempted
to reorganize this scheme under
a new name as was often the case
where fraud orders alone were
resorted to.
Tine result of the years work
has developed the fact that these
fraud manipulators are a distinct
class Of criminals, some Of them
moving in tho highest social and
business circles but nearly all
having more or less utilization
with or m devisors of schemes of
enterprises Of Legitimate
character in which they are not

THE policy of the department"
Mr.. Sharp points out, "has been
to crush out the strong and power
full criminals who have grown rich
at the game"
This plan has served to eliminate
the small operators.
Inspector Sharp suggests sit is
essential for the protection of the
public that additional legislation
be enacted which will prevent
swindlers from carrying on their
operations in the borderland be-
tween legitimate undertakings and
criminal schemers."

in a pit in the ruins of the Santi-

old quartz mill was then set on FIRE.
There is TO clue to the identity of
the man or his murdercrs. The
matter is being investigated by
the state police and Ormsby county
