tiers Of Importance to the brigade The
action of greatest interest was that fixing
the date and place for the annual en-
campment for 1913. 1t was first decided
to go into camp at Harpers Ferry July
% and remain under canvas until Au-
gust 6. Objection was raised, however.
on the ground that for business reasons
the encampment should not be in prog
ress a the end or beginning of a calendar
month. After considering the question
from all angles, Gen. Harries changed
the dates. The camp will probably be held
from Monday, August 4. to Wednesday, Au-
gust IL, inclusive. This selection has
been made known to the commanding
general of the Department of the East at
New York. 1t depends, Of course. on
that officer whether these dates will be
final. If it is found that he cannot as
sign regular troops for duty at the
Harper's ferry camp at the time 1t is
proposed to have the District National
Guard there, the dates will have to be
changed. but only in that contingency.
It is hoped to have battalion OF reg
airy at Harpers Ferry when the local
citizen soldiers are in camp there.
Most of the details were settled by
Gen. Harries, so that the command now
has plain sailing, with three full months
to prepare for the annual tour of duty in
the field. The mistakes of last year
will be avoided, and at headquarters 1T
is said the prospects are for the most
instructive and successful outing in the
history of the brigade.
Having practically completed the duties
that have required his presence in Louis

or more past, Gen. Harries now expects
to divide his time between Washington
and New York for an indefinite period
He will be in either direct or close touch
with the local situation from now on, Will
command the camp at Harpers Ferry IN
August and give his personal attention to

Rumors that Gen. Harries contemplate

the activity OF candidates for commission

0CC0QUAN SENTENCES
FARCE, COURT SAYS
Judge Pugh Comments on
Frequent Escapes From
District W0rkh0uSe.

Declaring it was "a farce to send a
man to the workhouse at Occoquan
when it was highly probable he would
escape from that institution if he felt
inclined" Judge Pugh yesterday placed
Leon Taylor on probation for a year.
following the earnest solicitation OF
Taylor's wife that this course be
adopted
Taylor was charged with commit
ting an assault his wife. She
procured warrant for his arrest, but
later repented her action and asked
the court to let him go. Just before
the hearing of this case Judge Pugh's
attention had been called to the escape
OF John Brown. a man who was SEN
fenced to serve six months at Deco
guam following his conviction on a
charge of stealing butter. Detective
Cornwell Of headquarters had applied
to Ralph Given, assistant United States
attorney at the Police Court, for a
warrant for the arrest of Brown who
was being held in Baltimore.
Say Escape Was Not Reported.
Mr.. Given asked the court to issue a
bench warrant for Brown, and in hear
ing the circumstances it developed that
Brown has escaped from the workhouse
long before his sentence had expired
No report was made to the court or to
the Washington police Of the escape. Of

With this in mind, following Mrs. Tay-
lor's plea to place her husband on pro-
baton. Judge Pugh said:
Il guess l might as well do as you
ask. 1t seems to be a farce to send
a man to Occoquan for any length of
time. If l gave you the sentence you
should have, the probabilities are you
would walk out few davS if
felt so disposed.
Mr.. Given in speaking of the matter
said he would take up the question of
escape with United States Attorney
Clarence Wilson.

man who gets away from this institu-
ton be furnished us Immediately fol-

ALLOWED to Go Anywhere"
Probation Officer C. A. Massie. who
visited the workhouse last Sunday. said
today that he was much surprised to see
one OF the prisoners whom he knows
walking along the road at least three
fourths Of a mile from the inclosure. He
stopped the man and talked to him.
asking him how 1t was he happened to
be there, and the prisoner replied that
he was allowed to go anywhere.
1t has been reported to the police and

Court that many men committed to the
workhouse are escaping. and 1t has been
