ferred with Randolph Ortman, direc-
tor Of the territorial, insular and

ficials of the division the necessity =
of ampifying the field of the Philip
pine branch Of the Red Cross, in view

THREE CAPTURED C0NVICTS
RECEIVE HEAVY SENTENCES

Three men, all escaped convicts
from the reformatory at Lorton, Va,
were returned to that institution to
serve longer periods for offenses COM
mitted while they were fugitives from
justice.
In resentencing William Preston.
colored professional housebreaker and
robber, Justice Stafford remarked: Il
hope that when you get back to Lor-
ton they won't put you in the front
yard again. In sentencing you there
l feel that am sending you to serve
your sentence in the open air."
Preston must serve all told twenty
eight years. Eight years of this time
he had yet to serve when he escaped
from Lorton last fall; twenty years
was added yesterday by Justice STAFF
ford for two offenses of housebreak-
ing and. larceny committed while he
was at large.
When Preston was caught he Jump
ed out Of the police patrol with Po-
liceman Gallagher right behind him.
In the fracas that followed both men
were run over by a passing auto.
Stsnord's Talk.
THE law is not soft" said Justice
Stafford in sentencing Darrell Ban.
croft, a 19-year old white boy to 10
years in prison. when you were
here BEFORE" continued the court.
you received the impression doubt
less that the law had a habit OF
coddling offenders. The time you
served for your first offense had very
little effect on you, 1t seems"
Bancroft was the second of the
three fugitives to be re-sentenced. He
escaped from Lorton last spring.
Joined the navy, deserted that, and
returned to his old tricks again IN this
city.
Isaiah Butler. colored, a third fugi-
tive, received 16 years on two charges
Of housebreaking and larceny. While
serving q 4-year sentence at Lorton he
walked away. "Housebreaking Is q
very serious offense," the court told
Butler. land I am going to give you
a long enough sentence to realize it.
Going to jail don't seem to do you
very much good"
Buffers two offenses were also COM
mitted while he was at large.
Clarence Wese. colored, professional
razor artist, also got q heavy-sen-
tence. He was sentenced to serve 10
years for vicious assault on Victoria
Lester, also colored. The wound
made by West on Jhe woman required

122 stitches to close it up. The man
has long record of similar offenses.
Lie Gets Him Sentence.
Lillian Wrenn. a 17-year-old colored
maid with a taste for fine wearing ap-
parel, received a two-year sentence
for stealing several hundred dollars
worth Of clothing from her employ
ers.
Anthony Ford, a 17-year-old colored
boy, received a six months sentence
for stealing the auto Of Miss Ruth E.
Postley when she left 1t standing at
the corner Of Eighteenth street and
Kalorama road northwest on October
81 last.
Anthony L. Lee, another 17-year-old
auto thief, secured him a year in Jail
instead Of a possible parole under sus-
pended sentence.
Justice Stafford reminded Lee that IL
he had been open and frank with the
probation officer in regard to his past
record he stood a chance of being
paroled. But by lying he lost all claim
to clemency by the court.

MUST HARNESS
NIAGARA FOR
MORE POWER
United States May Turn to
Might of Falls for Her
Munitions.

The United States must marshal the
might OF Niagara for her munitions
II the nation continues at war for two
or three years more.
Congress will be asked during the
present session to obtain more Of Ma
gara's power and to pass laws that
will make 1t possible to harness the
whirlpool rapids.
Millions of horsepower are running
to waste over the great plunge. This
country Is dependent upon Niagara
for all the eelctro-chemical products
for munitions and steel. She must
have more of'this power Immediate
additional power cannot be obtained;
but Senator James w. Wadsworth, OF
New York. who has studied the prob
lem thoroughly. believes the country
should look to the development for fu-
ture war purposes, IL there Is indica-
ton that the war will last several
years more.
With efforts being resumed for de-
velopment Of the waterways and
water-power of the country, attention
Is now being focused on the falls. To
obtain more water from the Niagara
to generate the power, this country
must amend her treaty with Great
Britain regarding the diversion Of
water and then pass laws to obtain,
with Canada, her proportionate share
of the great water force.
VIII Take Time.
"If the war Is to last two or three
years more" said Senator Wadsworth
yesterday, "then this country should
Of the power of the falls, for she is
nh
for all the electro-chemical products
necessary for munitions and steel.
But 1t will take time. 1t will take
plants, probably. Our opportunities
have been neglected so far.
Niagara Falls as a source OF enor-
nous power for war purposes has been
sadly neglected by this country. When
you consider that the Nation is de-
pendent upon 1t now for all its steels
and munitions the Importance OF the
development becomes apparent. To do
so we must first amend the treaty
with Great Britain and then pass leg
islation that will permit US to divert
more OF the water.
There Is a movement afoot to di-
vert the water power Of the whirlpool
rapids. At that point the river makes
sharp angle toward the American
side. By tunneling under this angle
the water could be turned to enor-
nous power, even after 1t has been
already used once"
Senator Wadsworth has strong sup
port, Senator Newlands being an
other member who sees the vast posi-
bilities in the development OF water
power and the utilization Of water
ways to their full capacity.
