MOYER SOON TO TAKE CHARGE
OF D. C.. PENAL INSTITUTIONS
Expresses Approval of Re-
forms Accomplished in
!, Prison Management.
Visits City in Advance OF Date
for Accepting Post Con-
fers With Mr.. Rudolph.

William Ii. Meyer, new superin-
tendent of Washington's penal insti-
tutions, upon his arrival in the city
today indicated his Endorsement Of
the many reforms that have been
made in prison management in the
United States in recent years in the
hope of lifting the unfortunates to
a higher plane Of living.
The state has two objects in view
in sending man to prison, the new
superintendent said. The first Is to
protect society; the second, to re-
form the individual with. view to
making him better citizen when
his time is up.
Mr.. Meyer comes to Washington
after years Of experience as warden
of the federal penitentiary at At
lanta, Ga. ut Sing Sing, n. Y, and
as superintendent of the State Re-
formatory of Kentucky.
InauEurntes Reforms.
While at the head of the Atlanta
'penitentiary Mr.. Meyer introduced
several reform steps which are now
being followed in many penal insti-
tutions.
One of the first of these innova-
tions was to permit conversations be-
tween the prisoners at meals. The
ban on talking in the mess hall was
difficult to enforce, Mr.. Meyer said,
and accomplished no real result.
Another step which he took was
to abolish the striped uniform. SO
often protrayed in book and drama.
and to substitute therefor single
colored working garment.
Here are number of other in
Nr-t,i ,iOh hsa pv~tc han
inaugurated last year while in charge
of the Kentucky reformatory:
Organized base ball teams. created
a mutual welfare league among the
prisoners, installed a motion picture
machine, established a store under
the welfare league. in which prisoners
may buy any article permitted in the
prison. made provision for entertain
ments. organized a prison orchestra
and disarmed guards.
Confers With Mr. Rudolph.
Mr. Meyer. accompanied by George
s. Wilson, secretary of the board OF
charities. conferred this morning
with Commissioner Rudolph. He will
leave the city again. returning to as
sumo his new duties on July 20.
For the present Mr.. Meyer will be
in general charge of the District Jail.
as well as Of Occoquan and the Lorton

rangement Of having separate SUI

making the warden of Occoquan gen.

stitutions.
Mr. Meyer is not a stranger to

thirteen years from 1890 to 1903. dur

BRANCH P. 0. OPEN
FROM 8 TO 8 DAILY
Chief Clerk Mooney Gives
Service Hours at Station in
Department Building.

Chief Clerk Mooney of the Post
Office Department announced today
that the branch postal station-opened
yesterday in the department build
ing will be open from am. to 8
pm. each day.
These hours will apply for holders
of lock box keys, it having been
decided to allow access to the boxes
only during the hours named, instead
Of during the full twenty-four hours
of each day.
1t was decided that it would not be
for the best interest of all concerned
that the department building be kept
open twenty-four hours a day. and
lock-box renters are asked to make
arrangements to collect from their
boxes during TIE hours named.
Protest Regarding Facilities.
Some protest already has been
lodged with the Washington city post
office against the distance which
separates the stamp window and the
letter box drop at the departmental
station.
When a stamp is purchased at the
window directly in front OF the steps
forced to walk along the corridor to
the west corridor then down that cor
'ridor south to the center Of the build
ing. where the letter drop Is located.
Omcials Investigate.
Officials Of the city post office today
went over the situation to see il a
more convenient place could be Sc
lected for the letter drop. 1t was point
ed out that the same condition used to
prevail when the city post office was
located in the building, only then pa
irons walked around and down the
east corridor to mail their letters. No
protests were ever offered against the
practice at that time. it was pointed
out today.

BERLIN Germany, July 6.-Yester-
day being the last day, according to
the agreement, for the evacuation OF
Upper Silesia. the Polish insurgents
and German protective militia with
drew beyond the frontiers-that is to
say, the regular formations with their
heavy equipment of tanks. artillery
and armored trains, have crossed the
borders. taking hostages along. In
the retirement neither organization
was any too gentle with the civilian
population, the cause being, as the
writer saw in Ratibor before leaving
the plebiscite area, a too liberal in.
dulgence in Upper Silesian "hootch.
Both sides were celebrating the end
Of the hoStilities. although the contest
was terminated without a decision by
the interallied referee. who stopped
the fight.
Combatants Vent Resentment.
The combatants are venting their
resentment upon the referee. as was
shown on July 4 in Beuthen, when
British and French troops entered the
city after the insurgents had left the
suburbs At the sight of the French,
German civilians INDUCED in catcalls
and then sang Deutschland Cbe:

are still looked upon as deliverers.
Somebody started d riot, shots were
fired and a French major was shot.
The French tried to clear the streets
with their rife butts. but were
Obliged to retreat to their barracks.
With the crowd becoming more and
more menacing, machine guns were
trained upon the streets by the
French, and it is reported that sew
eral persons were wounded.
British Force Quiet.
Finally the British formed patrols
with a Gordon around,the barracks
and brought calm. The insurgent
bands that remain in many villages
have arms and munitions stored in
the forests and are preventing the
resumption of train service in a few
districts. When the insurgents left.
their leaders exclaimed: "Au revoir
until the fourth insurrection" Many
believe that Il fourth revolution Will
develop when the decision as to the
partition of Upper Silcsia is an
nounced.
1t has been confirmed that the
British did not take part in the fight
ing al Beuthen between the French
and Germans.
