Fought when Challenged.
Tettinato when attacked struck out
with his fists instead Of throwing up
his hands as ordered by the thug. His
first blow struck the robber in the
eye. The hIghwayman retaliated by
cutting Tettinato across the cheek.
Despite the wound the unarmed
white man continued the fight against
odds. He endeavored to wrench the
knife away, but the highwayman,
with a deft turn of his wrist. slashed
his victim across the head.
"If you don't stop I'll cut your
throat" the man told Tettinato. Tet-
tinato lunged out with his fists. but
the knife again struck home in his
face. Weakened by the loss Of blood,
Tettinato was knocked to the ground.
He was either struck over the head

fall. The thug quickly went through
his pockets, took the money. and Ned.

sounded by the police of the Sixth
precinct for the highwayman's arrest.
Two hours after the attack Butler
was taken into custody.
According to Tettinato he was walk
ing in the back yard preparatory to
entering a stable shortly after. 8
o'clock, when the robber leaped from
behind and attacked him in the semi

WHITAKER
ASKS wider
PAROLE FOR
OCCOQUAN

Development of the water power
at the penal farm by which it is es-
timated the District would save $25,-
900 a year in coal, the enactment Of
an indeterminate sentence and parole
law, and the GENERALIZATION of au-
thority at the District reformatory,
workhouse, and female department
of the workhouse under a general
superintendent, whose salary shall
be $4,000 a year and living expenses,
are among the important recommen-
dations of W. H. Whitaker, superin-
tendent of the workhouse, in his an
nual report submitted to the Com
missioners today.
Other Officials Wanted.
Supt Whitaker recommends also
that provision be made for a ply
I.cian at the penal farm at $500 a
year and living expenses, chief en-
gineer at $1,000 and expenses, chief
electrician at 81 200 and expenses, and
superintendent OF the commissary de-
partment at 81 200 and expenses.
To provide a fund for operating the
Industrial plants Supt. Whitaker
recommends that provision be made
for a reimbursable working capital OF
$4,000 each for the reformatory and
workhouse, and that all the moneys
received from the sales of products
and manufactures be credited to these
funds.
Balance for U. 8. Treasury.
Under this plan any balances re-
naming to the credit of the funds at
the close of the fiscal year, after pro-
viding for the appropriation, would
be turned over to the United States
Treasury to the equal credit Of the
Federal and District Governments.
Superintendent Whitaker, in urg-
ing the enactment of an indetermi-
nate sentence and parole law, says 1t
Fhould be based on three things:
First. that they keep the rules of
the institution and have finished their
trade to a point where they are cap
able Of going out and maintaining
themselves by manual labor.
Second, that the parole board shall
be satisfied that there is a reasonable
probability that they will go forth
and keep their parole agreement and
afterward keep the law.
Third, that their release on parole
is not contrary to the public sense Of
the community from which they were
sentenced.
Fewer Restrictions PIease-
The number of commitments to the
workhouse during the year ended
June 80, 1917, was $3.50, and to the
workhouse rs.
sour success in handling these
prisoners along lines provided by the
penal commission, and the Commits
sioners Of the District of Columbia
without locks, cells, bars or walls
has been more than satisfactory"
says the report.
The prisoners almost to man ap-
preciate the new methods used in an
Institution where they are not con-
stantly reminded of their downfall
by old time restrictions"
