HALE PEACH RIVALS THE
ELBERTA

A NEW peach that bids fair
to be a strong rival of the
famous Elberta, both as a ship
per and Gamer, has entered
the markets for popular appro-
val. 1t is called the Hale, and
is being featured by r. B. Will
son of the Gem Nursery COM
pany.
Points of superiority claimed
for the Hale are: More highly
colored, firmer meat, uniform
size and therefore a better and
more attractive shipper. In
flavor it is delicious.
Further than that, there are
practically no culls and the
peach ripens evenly. The Gem
Nursery Company is featuring
this peach in their nursery this
year because of the qualities
mentioned above,

PASTORS NDORSE MOVERS
STAND AGAINST HANGING
Outworn and Barbarous Custom, Is Consensus
Of Their Opinion.

Washington clergymen generally
indorse the report Of william H.
Meyer, superintendent of penal in
stitutions OF the District, in which
punishment OF crime by hanging is
denounced and the efficiency of
capital punishment is questioned. A
canvas of leading ministers last
night revealed that Mr.. Moyer will
have the support of churchmen in
any effort he may make to have
the law changed in this respect.
Rev. John c. Palmer, president of
the Pastors Federation. in COM
menting upon the report, said: 1T
appears that there has been a
growing feeling that death by
hanging is a failure as punishment
for crime. Certainly II has not ac-
complished the expected ends,
namely, prevention of crime"
Rev. Mr.. Palmer laid particular
emphasis upon that part of the re-
port which deplored the lapse Of
time between sentencing a Grim
inal and execution of the sentence.
Delays in the form of reprieves
nullify whatever positive effect n
punishment might have, Mr.. Meyer
contended

But two persons responded to the
calling of their names at the open
ing of court when the collateral list
of seventy-hve names was read.
These two saved the forfeiture OF

stations only to lose more than this
sum when two $40 fines were -im-
posed. The seventy-three that failed
to answer left the District richer by

WOMEN LOSE POINT
In HOTELS REPORT
Investigators Give Manage
ment Clean Bill of
Health.

The next move in the long g-drawn-
ment of Labor and the women liv-
ing in the government hotels near
Union Station is up to the women.
Several months ago the women
petitioned the Labor Department to
remove the general manager of the
hotels, Mrs. Sarah Sumner. The
petition led to an investigation by
Mary Anderson. head of the Labor
Departments Women's Bureau.
This investigation. according to
announcement yesterday by Assist
ant Secretary of Labor Henning.
gives the hotel management a clean
Lill of health"
Some time ago Henning threat
ened to close the hotels unless
criticism of the management ceased.
and at the same time scored the
Plaza Council. organized to look
after interests of the guests. Yes
terday he again took a slap at the
council.
Its criticisms and activities" he
says. have from the beginning
aroused strong prejudice. Appar-
emily il has thus been a failure, and
those who ought to know best be-
lieve il always must be a failure"
Besides asking the removal of the
general manager, the petition re-
quested abolition of the position of
superintendent of residence halls.
The report of the investigators rec
commended instead that the duties of
the superintendent be extended, or
that two superintendent be ap-
pointed. These would act as repre-
sentatives for the guests in con-
sultations with the management.
The Washington herald., 1922-08-04

lie yesterday. After casting doubt
on the deterring quality of death
penalties in general, he declared
that hanging was a relic of the
days when punishment was made
horrible in the hope of putting fear
into the hearts of those not yet
guilty of crime.
Under the present condition of
public sentiment, If dog were
killed by hanging. the public would
promptly show righteous indigna-
tion at the wanton and unneces-
sary cruelty. but when the victim
is human being the public winks
at It," he said.
AS evidence of the success of the
honor system in vogue in the jaiis.
the superintendent points to the
marked decrease in Jail escapes.
The number of prisoners escaping
totaled ninety-eight in 1921, as
compared with forty-eight for 1922.
In spite of the increase in prfs-
oners. Meyer reports a decrease in
expenses of $16.671.27 over the pre-
vious year. The daily average
number of prisoners for 1921 was
610, while in 1922 the average in
creased to 73S.
Meyer recommends the urgency
of replacing the buildings at Oc-
coquan by permanent structures
similar to those at Lorton. The old
buildings are temporary, and have
been occupied for more than ten
years. Estimates for new build
ings have been submitted to the
Commissioners A water filtration
system is also recommended for
Occoquan.
