CALLS JAIL NO LONGER
PLACE OF PUNISHMENT
Supt. Zinkhan Tells Reformed
Church Delegates Of Impeoved
Prison Conditions.

Declaring that a fail Is no longer con-
sidered as place Of punishment, but is
place where a man can get new start
In life, L. F. Zinkhan, superintendent OF
the Washington Asylum and jail. last
night delivered an address before the
synod OF the east and Of the Reformed
Church of the United States, now in an
nual gathering here. The sessions of the
synod are taking place at the First Re-
formed Church, 9Th and L streets north
west
Most jails are usually places of deten-
ton. Mr. Zinkhan explained. But" he
added. occupations are now furnished at
these jails. A tendency toward speedier
trials is helping the situation, by making
detention shorter. Another improvement
of great value is the attention now paid
to personal hygiene. Sometimes the only
baths man has are those given him in
jails and prisons
DR.. T. Herman of Lancaster. Pa. adj
dressed the synod on THE Essential Ele-
ments in Christian Education" He de-
clared that neither the English education.
which makes a gentleman. nor the Ger
man education, which makes a scholar.
Is adequate, and that without the teach
ings of the Bible both fail to make a
Christian man.
The business sessions Of the synod are
expected to end today. Tomorrow num-
Der Of the seventy-three visiting min
listers in the synod will occupy Washing
ton pulpits.

ice snag-pulling boat York has completed
the removal of scow which was sunk

WANTS ACTION AT ONCE.
W. D. Mackenzie Approves REFEREE
dunn on District Suffrage.

Discussing the Tavenner bill for a ref
erendum vote on questions relating to
the form of District government, Will
liam d. Mackenzie, a member of the Dis
trict Suffrage League said yesterday
that he believed such a referendum
should be held at once if at ALL in view
of the fact that before long other bills
proposing changes In the District govern
ment will be introduced in Congress.
"One of the criticisms leveled at the
Tavenner bill Is that the proposed ref
erendum would create a vast amount of
additional work for the District Com
missioners," said Mr.. Mackenzie. III
the critics will examine the bill they will
discover that the Commissioners are re-
lieved from routine work in connection
with the referendum, as the bill pro-
vides for the appointment by the Com
missioners of a board Of three referen-
dunn officers, who will make all neces-
sary arrangements for the referendum
and carry them into execution, sub1ec'
only to general supervision on the part
Of the Commissioners"

FEAR OF NICKELS NEEDLESS.
Reports of Counterfeiting Are Pour
ing in Upon Treasury.

Needless fears of supposedly counter
felt nickles. it is stated by secret service
officials, are disturbing people throughout
the country. Complaints of counterfeit
ing are pouring into the Treasury Depart
ment.
Acting Chief erman Moran says the
apprehension is due to unfamiliarity with
the fact that the department recently
made a slight change in the new coin.
In the revised design the words five
cents" are brought out in greater relief
than in the original. This difference gives
rise to reports of counterfeits.
