Washington has made q big start at
Occoquan toward the establishment Of
penal farm that should revolutionize
the prison methods Of the civilized
world. according to Henry Wolfer, for
many years warden OF the saltwater
prison in Minnesota and an interna-
tional expert in prison administration,
who is in the capital on important
work for the food administration.
Mr.. Wolfer, who rescued the Still
water institution from the throes OF
the old contract system and placed 1t
on a basis where it now remunerates
the state more than quarter of
million dollars annually, after paying
all expenses, recently spent day at
Occoquan. inspecting the operation of
the workhouSe, where from 500 to 700
prisoners are handled without the aid
of cells or bars, and of the reforma-
tory for long-term prisoners on an
adjoining tract, at Lorton, which also
is being developed under the open-air
plan.
Washington Blazing the Way.

the most constructive prison work that
is being carried on anywhere at the

Minnesota official. who returned full of
trict farm. From what I saw at Oc-
coquan. it is only necessary to continue
the development along the lines PLAN
ned by Superintendent Whitaker and
the District authorities will give
Washington the greatest penal system

That Occoquan will become more
than self-supporting; that an indeter-
be passed by Congress as soon as pos
sible. and that the Commissioners
acted wisely in removing the picket
prisoners to the Jail lin Washington
menace to the building UP of proper
disciplinary conditions at a crucial
| time in the development of the honor
system at the workhouse, were obser-
yations made by Mr.. Wolfer growing
out of his inspection of the institution.
Declaring that both the workhouse
and reformatory are Ideally located.
Mr.. Wolfer amended the plan of
lodging responsibility for their admin
istration in a single head, but added
that the greatest responsibility always
would rest upon the Commissioners in
seeing to 1t that the right man filled
confidence that long-term prisoners in
the reformatory could be handled under
the open-air plan as successfully as
those serving shorter sentences in the
workhouse, though here again, he OBJ
served, the ultimate success of the ex-
pertinent would depend in large meas
ure upon the judgment shown in the
selection of subordinate officials and
their ability to understand the men
placed under their control.
In this connection, he expressed the
opinion that 80 per cent Of life pris-
oners can be trusted and that there
would be no trouble in making the
honor system success as far as this
class of inmates is concerned. For the
reformatory, he estimated there should
be disciplinary department with cor
rective facilities for not more than
not more than 5 per cent of the work

vided for in this respect, he stated.

4uuGICInludLc Sentence,
An 1ndeterminate sentence and parole
law. which Supt. Whitaker and the
Commissioners several times have
recommended and which Is to be urged
upon Congress at the coming session,
is required, in the opinion of Mr.. Wolf
er. if the penal farm is to accomplish

mind that Occoquan is to be self-sup-
porting. Rapid strides in this direc-
tion already have been made under Mr..
Whittaker's management and big op-
portunities are yet to be developed,
he said. He found particularly inter-
estlng the hog plant. chicken farm.
canning factory and orchard and
thought that the raising of hogs and
canning of fruits and vegetables on a
big scale could be made particularly
profitable. In this connection, he sug-'I
gested that the District could well
afford to send its entire garbage col
lections to the workhouse, where a
portion of the material could be ster-
1llzed and fed to the hogs and the re-
mainder manufactured into fertilizer
for use on the farm and commercial
purposes ,I'o @ Such RECOMMENDATION al
ready has been made by Mr.. Whitaker.
That the Commissioners will give
consideration to any suggestions of
this character emanating from Mr..
Wolfer is assured in view of the re-
markable business sagacity displayed
by the former saltwater official when
he was placing that institution on a
paying basis. When he went to Still
water, in 1892. Minnesota was leasing
its convict labor at the rate of 45
cents per man per day. and the prison
was showing deficit annually of
about 100000: Mr.: Wolfer soon changed
this state of affairs. He established
the manufacture of farming machinery
dustries, and it was not long until the
accounts began to show something in
favor of the state. In inaugurating
this industrial activity he was pro-
ton Of s15o.00o, and he never had oc-
casion to ask for more. When he re-
tired from prison work a short time
ago saltwater prison was showing q
| meeting all costs. Of from 100000 to
100000 annually. this in addition to
| about 100000 annually that the con-
v1cts themselves earned as a reward
| for their diligence and activity.
| Mr.. Wolfer expressed surprise at the
rapid development of the Occoquan plant,
| in view of the fact that the site until
Few years ago was wilderness and
| that prison labor almost exclusively
has been utilized in developing it to a
point where it now has a value of
| three-quarters Of million dollars and
Is almost self-supporting.
"Occoquan is great tribute to the
sightedness Of the officials who have
| stood back Of him." declared Mr..
Wolfer. "His heart is in this work. or
he never could have accomplished what
something to be proud Of and some-
thing that is going to be for the better
mont Of humanity the world over"

Red Line Company Will Put
Down at Least 3 Holes.
TO MAKE A new SURVEY
Negotiations Being Closed With
Big Drilling Companies.
Illuminating Project Is Now
Showing New Prospects.

Extensive plans for development of
Overlook territory for oil began to
take definite form today when it was
announced by NJ. F. Cosgrove, secre-
tary for the Red Line Oil and Gas
company, a Topeka corporation, that
his concern will begin drilling in the
vicinity of the Indian Territory Hum
mating well early this summer.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1917-04-23

The Indian Territory Illuminating
(DOherty) well at Overlook which
has attracted the attention of the
mid-continent oil fields by produc-
ing IL showing of oil, having pene-
trated, 1t is believed, the asphaltum
base of a pool. The drill is today in
a stratum of limestone.
The Red Line company is now clos
ing negotiations with one of the
largest drilling companies in the west
to do the work. Cosgrove asserted, in
making that announcement, that not
less than three wells will be drilled
on Red Line leases. Standard rigs, of
the largest dimensions obtainable, will
be used, the work will be rushed and
the bore will be sent down to Missis-
sippi limestone, he said. Before drill
ing another geological survey will be
made of the territory. This, how
ever. will not delay matters as it will
be completed before the rig or rigs
arrive.
Interest in the Overlook territory
was stimulated today by the Red Line
announcement and by the belief of
drillers at the Illuminating we'll that
the limestone wherein the bit is now
working is not the Mississippan
stratum. The drillers say they are
hoping to strike another oil sand
under the stratum. Twenty-six feet
of live sand, wherein the recent show
ing was OBTAINED, has already been
penetrated.
Leases in Demand.
Drillers today based their belief
that the limestone now being bored is
not in the Mississippan stratum on
the fact that it is not porous and con-
tairs, so far as they can ascertain,
but little water.
Long distance calls today disclosed
the fact that the "Overbrook woods
are full of oil men investigating the
illuminating well. Practically every
available acre of land has been leased.
The location of the planned Red
Line wells it was announced today,
will depend upon what the new geo.
logical survey shows. Officers of the
company said they expected to place
the largest rigs possible in the field
so that work would not be delayed be-
cause of inefficient machinery. The
corporation they are now negotiating
with is known to be able to furnish a
large amount of casing. This COM
modify has been a stumbling block in
the way of oil development in the last
year because of it's scarcity, due to the
fact that the war is demanding such
an enormous supply of metal. The
Red Line Drilling company has bored
several wells in Kansas and was able
to unload trainloads of casing where
other companies had trouble in get
ting 1t in carload lots.

Thirty German Planes Brought
Down by q. S. AviatOrs.

Paris, April 23.-Sergeant William
Dugan, one of he American aviators
with the French army, is reported
missing. Lieut.. William Thaw says it
is feared Sergeant Dugan was one of
the two aviators seen to fall during a
battle over the German lines. Dr. Ed
mund eros, one OF the organizers of
the American escadrille, thinks, how
ever, there is a possibility that the
sergeant was taken prisoner or even
landed in the British lines. Sergeant
Dugan was 81 years old and was born
at Patchogue. Long Island. but lived |
in Rochester, n. Y. He enlisted in the
foreign legion in September, 1914, and
was transferred into the aviation serv-
ice in October. 1915. He was known
as an exceptionally skilled aviator.

Since its formation last year, the
escadrille, whose official designation is
the "N-124," has undergone some
changes of personnel. The new men,
however, are living up we'll to the ira
ditions of those who have passed thru
its ranks, some of whom have made
the great sacrifice for France in re-
turn for the help she gave to America
during the Revolution, while others
have had to retire owning to wounds

the young Americans have won not
only the admiration of their French
comrades. but also the wholesome re-
spect of the German airmen opposed
to them.
