HUMANE OFFICERS
ARE OPTIMISTIC
They Believe New Traffic Regula-
lions Will Help the Lot of
Abused Horses.

Officials Of the Humane Society said
last night they believed It probable that
new traffic regulations which are expect
ed to be adopted will contain a require
ment that all commercial wagons be
equipped with breaks. so that hardships
such as those to which some Of the ami
mails used in hauling material out Of the
Arlington Hotel site are alleged to be
submitted will be obviated.
These complaints incident to the re-
moval of excavated material from the
Arlington Hotel site are nothing new"
Secretary John p. Heap, of the Humane
Society stated. We have the same
trouble from excavation work of prac-
tically every large building erected in
the District.
I'VE anticipated trouble at the Airing
ton site and had men inspecting con-
ditions there from the time work was
started. We were constantly in touch
with the situation and knew Of the con-
ditions under which teams were being
worked long before there were any COM
plants from citizens.
Now, as in the past, We can do little
because there is no regulation requiring
the use of brakes. The Commissioners
are willing to do what they can. and
have investigated provisions Of their au-
thority to see II they can AFFORD any
relief. We need an ordinance requiring
brakes on commercial wagons"

place Of almost official Importance, spoke

DISCUSSES NAVAL
OFFENSE SYSTEM
Secretary of Navy DeVotes Consid-
cradle Space to Plan Which
Is Proving Successful.

The Secretary of the Nays annual re-
port devotes some space to the detention
system of punishment for naval offenses,
which was put into operation on Septem-
Der !, 1911, and has produced gratifying
results. BY means OF this system naval
prisoners are divided into two broad
classes-frst, those convicted of offenses
involving moral turritude or violation
Of general laws of the country; and, sec
ond, those convicted of purely military
offenses. Offenders Of the first class,
whose retention in the navy would be
prejudicial to the best interests of the
service, are sent to State prisons and sub
jected to the rules and discipline OF such
institutions in the same manner as per-.
sons convicted of similar offenses by a
civil court. Those guilty of military Of
fenses whose previous records give hope
OF reform are sent to what are known as
Naval Disciplinary Barracks" These
last offenders are called "detentioners"
instead of prisoners they continue to
wear naval uniform instead Of prison garb
and instead of performing hard labor"
they are put through carefully selected
course in service drills and instructions
with a view to increased efficiency when
restored to duty. These detentioners.
and pay during detention. escape the ig-
nominy which attaches to persons who
have served a term in prison.
After a detentioner has satisfactorily
served two-thirds, of the period to which
sentenced, he isOplaced on probation at
the disciplinary barracks, and, as far as
possible, given duties similar to those
performed by other enlisted men In the
navy. During this probationary period,
the detentioner is carefully observed by
the officers in charge, and II his conduct
warrants such action he is Internationally
restored to general duty in the navy.
Aside from the help given the indi-
vidual. the detention system. which oper-
ates to reform naval offenders who for
merly were dishonorably discharged, ac-
a financial saving to the gov
eminent. as it costs money to enlist
equip, transfer to one OF the coasts, and
gives first instructions TO each recruit.
The naval disciplinary barracks at
present in operation are located at Port
Royal, s. c., and at the navy yard,
Puget Sound, Bremerton. Wash.

UNIQUE CRIMINAL
ON TRIAL TO-DAY
Carl War;, Who Held Police at Bay

Puzzles Authorities.

Los Angeles. Cal. Nov. 2L-Carl War;,
alias Reidelbach. alias Davis, the most
fantastic figure in the criminal history
OF California. tomorrow will be taken
before Justice Warren Williams at uni
versity Police Court. This precaution of
removing him from the central station
for his hearing will be followed further
by excluding all persons not directly in
terested in the proceedings.
War;, who held the police depar tment
of Los Angeles az bay with a bomb at
the headquarters last Tuesday for more
than an hour and caused all traffic to be
stopped in one of the busiest centers OF
the city, later may become a Federal
prisoner. Detectives to-day learned that
he had been held in Jail a month in San
Luis Obispo. Cal, last year on a charge
Of having counterfeit coin in his pos
session. While in Jail there he attempted
TO end his life by starvation. The case
against him there was dismissed because
it could not be found how he came into
possession OF the coins.
Search for Evidence.
The police believe that the remark
able ingenuity and cunning he showed In
making the bomb was utilized earlier in
making counterfeit molds and a thorough
search is being made of the ReideIbach
home for buried evidence against him.
That War; had enough dynamite in

city was shown yesterday when two
caches were uncovered in San Bernardino
County. This dynamite. Of the 50 per

stolen from a quarry and hidden by the
man.
War is one Of the most puzzling char
acters the police ever attempted to an
alyze. His weird methods OF operation
and errstic actions first caused the DO
lice to believe that he was insane. Now
the alienists assert that the man is sane
but with an alteration that is un-
fathomable.

statements and clear logic with grotesque
reasoning. War; still clings to his story
