SPECIAL JULY TERM ORDERED
District Jailer Says Some Prisoners Have Been
Waiting Twenty Months for Trial.

with the dockets of the courts
bulging with untried cases and the
District jail affording standing
room only" announcement was
made Monday that a special term
of the criminal court would be con-
vened in July to expidite the dis
pensing of justice.
IF 1t were not for the relief af-
forded last week by the transfer
of batch OF prisoners to the At

mates" said Capt. w. L. Peake.
yesterday. The continuance of
court during the summer means a
great deal for the jail and will help
to relieve us of our congestion"
There are at present, in the jail.
Capt. Peake said, 267 prisoners
Some of them have been waiting
for trial for as long a period as
twenty months. Awaiting trial are
twenty murderers and a number of
others helds for major .offenses. This
enumeration does not include the

said the desk sergeant at the Jail

declared. There Is an unusually

which are being committed. The

Criminals are much younger than
was formerly the case--they. now are
mostly young men. from II to 2l
years of age. and the crimes possess
boldness that was not character
istic Of former times. They are not
committed under cover OF darkness
at present, but in the heart of the
city and In the broad. daylight.
It's a question whether prisons
are accomplishing their purposes"
capt. Peake continued. There is
developing a repeater type. which

many have served several terms.
We had one man here some time
ago who had been arrested sixty

prisoned repeatedly. one necessarily
wonders IL the prison is accomplish
ing its objects, whether It is really
reforming the prisoner. or whether

Public Is Blamed.
Part of the responsibility for this
condition, Capt. Peake lays on the
pubic, who, he asserts, have allowed
jails to be run without properly
considering their needs. Many OF
the 'repeaters' are the result of po-
lice persecution" Capt Peake de-
clared.
Capt. Peake said there had been
tremendous slump in the number
OF drunks brought in as a result Of
prohibition. but on the other side.
the number OF bootleggers and vio-
lators of the prohibition law was
climbing. The number of drug ad-
diets in the Jail had increased. II

FIRE AND POLICE
HEADS ASK MORE
LEAVE FOR FORCE
Say Men Are Entitled to
Same Vacation as U.S..
Workers.

District policemen and firemen
will be given 80 days leave each
year instead OF 20 days as is the
present custom. and the working
week will be reduced from seven
days to six, providing the plans Of
the heads OF these departments
receive the approval of the District
commissioners.
Both Maj. Harry L. Gessford, su-
perintendent Of the metropolitan
police department, and George s.
watson, chief engineer of the Dis
trict fire department Monday night
indicated that recommendation for
these changes would be included in
their annual reports, which will be
made at the close OF the fiscal year,
June 80.
Action Approved.
Immediate action regarding this
matter as well as the payment Of
overdue pensions to retired District
policemen and fremen. was urged
yesterday afternoon during a meet
ing of the fire and police committee
OF the Washington chamber of
commerce, held at the chamber of
commerce ONCE in the Homer
building
The amount due retired policemen
and firemen is approximately $780,
900, according to members of the
chamber committee. This deficit has
been permitted to accrue for
number of years, starting about six
years ago. when. owing to INSULT
Client funds. the pensioners were
only paid about 50 per cent of the
amount due them.
Every other government and
District employe is given 30 days
leave and beside that receives So
Sundays and all holidays on" said
Maj. Harry l. Gessford. head of the
police department, land l can see
no reason why the policemen should
not be given the same considera-
ton.
Urged for F1remen.
Il intend to recommend the ex-
tension of the leave time in my an
nual report. and plan to request
that the policemen be given one day
OF rest each week: however, this
would necessitate an increase in the
police force"
Il intend to be able to bring
about an extension of the leave time
for the firemen, from 20 to 30 days
year" said George S. Watson.
head of the FIRE department, for l
believe that the men who fight the
city's fires are as deserving of this
consideration as any other en-
ployes."
