HOME OF SCIENTISTS
NEARING COMPLETION
New Carnegie Institution Will Be Fin
ished Early in Coming Year,
Saw Contractors.

The new Carnegie Institution. at Broad
Branch Road aad Chevy Chase Drive. is
nearing completion. according TO state
ments by builders, and probably will be
finished early in 1914. Finishing touches
now are being put to the exterior of the
building, and the principal work to be
done is to install the delicate instruments
for the use of the scientists who will oc-
cupy the expensive building.
Great care has been exercised,
in the construction OF tho
edfice. Steel has been used as little as
possible. because of its magnetic quail
ties. Most OF the instruments are so
delicate that metal such as steel wouli
render them inaccurate.
Cross walls have been hung from con-
crete girders placed near the roof, in
order TO make the building nonvibratory.
Five stories will be the height OF the
building. which is situated on a forty
foot elevation. The institution at pres-
ent has headquarters at Avenue of the
Presidents and p Street.

WHIPPING POST DENOUNCED.
Montana Representative Declares
Punishment Degrading.

Because it maintained the whipping
post. the State of Delaware was given a
verbal lashing in the House yesterday by
Representative Evans of Montana, who
replied to a recent speech by Represent
ative Brockson of that State. defending
the corporal punishment or criminals:
The whlpping-post,' said Evans, de
grades not only its victims, but society
Humanity has never been reformed by a
punishment that tends to degrade the
victim OF the law, and when you manacle
man and beat him across the back,
you make him an enemy to society.
IF there is justification for the whip
ping-post today. is there not equal justi-
fication for the pillory. the rack, the
stocks, and a hundred other devices
formerly used as instruments of torture.
TN the past men were punished by
branding. mutilating, disembowling, and
every other means known to the human
mind, but as our civilization advanced,
all these cruel forms have been discarded,
and We find today only one of all these
medieval relicts of barbarism, and
that is the whipping-post in the State of
Delaware
Il am willing 20 abide by the decision
OF the Attorney General" said Evans,
but I still feei that somewhere, some
time, remedy will be found to put for
ever a stop TO the practice In Della
ware"
