AS WHITAKER
QUITS DC. JOB
Occoquan Workhouse, Built
During His Term, Valued
at $1,000 900.

I'VE are very glad for the sake Of

April /, IL became known yesterday.
1t Is understood he will enter business

There are pending against Mr.. Whit
taker suits filed by eight women pick
cts for $4,000 each charging cruelty
while they were confined at the penal
institution for picketing the White
House.
These suits will be pressed, It was
said.
Mr.. Whitaker has been In charge
of the workhouse at Occoquan since
1910. The institution, now valued
at approximately 100000. was
constructed practically entirely by
prison labor.
During his administration cha rges
of cruelty against prisoners have
been numerous. At one time two
negro prisoners killed q guard.
They were tried and given q light
sentence.
Demands for an investigation of
the institution have been made sew
eral times. but the Board of Chari-
ties in charge OF the institution and
the District Commissioners refused
to take action. Several months ago
an investigation was made and re-
suited in a complete exoneration of
the superintendent.
Previous to his acceptance of his
present position, Mr.. Whitaker
was engaged in prison work in Bal
timore. and was for several years
connected with the Indiana State

years to understand God and his i'm

God and about existence appeared to

CrueItIes on Canadians.

Early in the war the Germans cap
tured three Canadians. They crucified
them on the side of a barn. This was
expected so to inspire the green Can
adian troops with horror that their
morale would crack and they would
cease fighting. Instead, 1t has made
them the fercest fighters on the west
front.

a girl of IA who was a mother. One
Of her arms had been cut of above

and then mutilated-not wantonly by
a skullxing degenerate brute, but with
cold calculation, and in conformity
with the German policy Of horror-in-
spring.
Some British soldiers came upon q
church, from which the night before
they had driven the Germans. Sus-
pended on a wire they found a cat.
The wire had been drawn through its
paws. 1t was suffering terribly. A
soldier cut the wire to free the cat
As the wire was severed II set OF a

stroyed and many OF the British SOL

Spiritual Being Understood.

with the disappearance OF the ma

plete victory over mortality the dis
ciples were enabled to perceive spirit

Spirit, or Mind. Indeed, as Mrs. Eddy
has written, His resurrection was
also their resurrection (Science and

proceeded to perform the healing and
redeeming work which He had de-
clared than anyone who understood
