TURP|N DELAYS
WORK WITH GIRLS
New Overseer for Industrial
Home Will Wait Several Days
Before Assuming Duties.

w. H. Turpin. who was appointed
ovcrscer at the Virginia Home and In
dustrial School for Girls, near Bon Air,
TO succeed Beverly Banks. the negro
who was recently dismissed, arrived in
Richmond yesterday to take up his
duties but in view of several recent
outbreaks on the part of inmates OF
the home, it was decided by the board
of directors to have him wait several
days before going to work
There has been no. further disturb
ance at the home since Saturday" said
S. p. Waddiil. Il member of the board,
last night. But as the girls apparent
~ do not like the dismissal Of Banks.
we thought it best to wait few days
before allowing Turpin to take up his
duties. IT cannot be said just when
he will go to work. Banks has left
the place"
This action, 1t was said, was to give
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Light, the matron. time to
talk with the girls and explain to
them the cause of the change from
the negro to the white man, that any
trouble might be avoided when he re-
ports.
The general sentiment has been that
the girls would not like the change
and might give further trouble. it Is
to avoid this that Turpin will wait n
short while before going to the home.
