JAIL OVERCR0WDED,
FLOOR USED AS BED
377 inmates in 3OO-Bunk
BuiIding-UnIucky Sleep on
Mattresses on Board.

With the District jail filed be-
yond its capacity, many of the in
mates are being compelled to sleep on
closed today.
Three hundred and seventy-seven
prisoners are there today. with ac-
commodations originally intended for
300. And the most of the n extra
are using the improvised hunks be-
cause of the shortage Of cell hunks.
Maj. Peake, in charge Of the Jail,
today said that the cause is the
courts vacation. Judges have just
returned from vacations and the
dockets are crowded. This time of
year there is generally a peak reached
at the Jail, but for several years the
average has not been as high as dur
ing the past summer and the last few
months.
Night before last the figure Of 3s1
was reached. This was q record
breaker for recent years.
Last month alone, more than 200
"intoxication" short-timers went
through the Jail residence period.
Most of those sleeping on mattresses
on the floors come under this cate
CORY, Those who are to be fnvolun-
tary government guests for long
periods are given the best accom-
modations possible.
The peak of September's popula tion
was reached on a day when $40 were
tenants Of the jail. while the low rec
ord was 800.
6,354 Jailed Last Year.
The District Jail last year received
and discharged as many prisoners. 1t
is estimated, as both Atlanta and
Leavenworth penitentiaries COM
bined.
Some 1854 went into the jail and
came out Of 1t last year. Atlanta
and Leavenworth average between
1900 and 1,500 admissions, and the
dismissals are about the same figures
The only trouble. however, accord
ing to Maj. Peake. is about sleeping.
Eating can be handled in first-cla IS
shape, since there are two dining halls
and plenty Of service accessories
along gastronomic lines.

j. S. ENJO|NS HILL
IN HOME WINE CASE
Representative Gets Five
Days to Meet Charge of
Dry Act Violation.

BALTIMORE, Md. october ll.-At
the request of United States District
Attorney woodcock, Judge Soper in
the United States district court. to-
day signed temporary injunction
restraining Representative John
Philip Hill from continuing to manu-
facture intoxicating fruit juices at
his home. 3 Franklin street.
The Injunction comes under section
% of the national prohibition act,
which says any place in which liquor
has been manufactured may be closed.
Representative Hill may move to dis
solve this injunction on Ave days
notice, or he may appear and answer
the bill within twenty days of being
served with subpoena.
Gives Two Reasons.
District Attorney Woodcock issued
statement in which he said: THE
case of Representative Hill is unus-
ual for two reasons: First, the high
position he occupies, and second, he
freely admits the fact, as the govern
ment contends, that he Is violating the
law. The first reason entities him
to no consideration beyond that given
any other person. The second reason
inclines one to believe he may be
seeking sincerely a judicial determi-
nation Of the question whether what
he has done Is a violation Of the law
rather than that he Is deliberately
breaking the law in a hope that he
will emerge from the prosecution a
hero or martyr.
1T was my intention originally to
lay this case before the grand jury.
More mature consideration has con-
vinced me the facts are substantially
admitted and the question primarily
is one OF law. 1t would be more
proper to lay before the Judge whose
province It is to determine the Ques-
tions of fact. therefore asked for
an Injunction. as provided in section
% of the national prohibition act.
This will allow Hill his day in court
and a full opportunity to present his
case.
Crimfnn1 Action Open.
'This is the first instance in which
I have asked for an injunction until
after conviction by a jury. except
where one has been issued by con-
sent as part of the compromise in
case. To that extent Representative
Hill Is getting special consideration.
I think. however, it is justified. for
the second reason stated. above. II
my belief should prove to be wrong
and he has deliberately violated the
laws Of the land. regardless of the
motive involved. the injunction would
not necessarily prevent criminal
prosecution in the future.
IF the government views prevail
with the court no doubt a permanent
injunction will be issued closing the
premises. The court may allow the
defendant to reopen them on giving
bond that no = violation Of the ma
tional prohibition law be permitted"

LAUNCH SCHOOL
PROGRAM TONIGHT
Actual Development of s.
Year Building Plan to Open
at Conference.

Actual development of the proposed
|fve-year school building program will
be started at special conference of
the board of education and school and
District government officials tonight
at the Franklin School. administra-
tion headquarters of the school sys-
tenn. The program will be submitted
to the bureau of the budget upon its
completion.
The feasibility of drafting such a
program has been under considera-
ton for several months, and District
|eovernment authorities have aided the
school officials in collecting mass
Of statistics Indicating the probable
growth of various sections Of the city
in future years and where additional
building accommodations will be
needed: All of this information will
be given to the school board tonight
by Engineer Commissioner j. Frank
lin Bell and Assistant Engineer Com
missioner John Wood.
Will Abolish Portables.
The contemplated program, 1t is
understood, will provide for the abo-
lition of the undesirable portables
and rented structures adopted as an
emergency relief for the overcrowded
schools and the purchase of available
school sites.
1t is the belief of Engineer Commits
sioner Bell and Supt. of Schools Bal
lou that the sites now available for
future school buildings will have to
be acquired before the rapid develop
ment of certain sections of the city
| makes such procedure impossible.
Such a foresighted policy Of purchas-
ing property for school sites, in the
! opinion of these officials will result
in great economy and obviate pos
sible condemnation proceedings In
later years.
Formulated by Ballou.
A building program similar to the
one to be drafted tonight was formu-
| lated by. Dr.. Ballou soon after he be-
came superintendent, on July 1, 1920
The first program called for the ex-
penditure of $2,000,000 annually for a
period of five years, exclusively fol
new buildings and sites. and 1t has
been carried out to a certain extent.
The entire membership of the school
board is expected at the conference
| tonight, in addition to Supt. Ballou
and other school officials who will as
sist in the development Of the new
program.

Won KAHR "NEw BISMARCK" "
Nationalists See in Him Medium to
Restore Throne.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
1902

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1928.
BERLIN, October 11.-Things which
have been quietly happening in Ba-
varia make Dictator Won Kahr per-
haps the leading figure of the whole
German reactionary nationalist move
ment and bides fair to earn for him
the title already being whispered
about-"the new Bismarck"
The first results of this movement
appeared this week, when Adolf Hit
Ter, once regarded as the predestined
leader of the nationalist movement,
lost the support of his best regiments,
which went over to Won kahr. These
included the imperial flag and over
land organizations and the former
Ehrhardt brigade. now called the
Wickingbund. Hitler now possesses
only a rump section of the Flag Bri-
gade and some personal regiments
which are of little military impor-
tance.
May Back Rupprecht.
1t is possible that he intends to
place the Bavarian Wittelsbach, Prince
Rupprect, on the throne of all Ger
many. thus doing for the house of
Wittelsbach what Bismarck did for
the house of Hohenzollern. 1t is in
this connection that the appellation
of "the new Bismarck" is being
whispered in Bavaria.
Speculation assigns as one cause of
DR.. Won Kahr's success in Bavarian
internal politics the fact that Hugo
SHINES and other big industrialists
are tacitly supporting him. 1t is
known that SHINES considers the Won
Kahr dictatorship a model for all
Germany. SHINES is Indifferent
whether Germany remains republic
or becomes a monarchy under the
Wittelsbachs or the Hohenzollerns, so
long as his own interests are fur
thered. Certain hints make it prob
able that he has shifted his support
to DR.. Won Kahr in the present gath
ering of forces for general attack
on socialist Germany.
Meanwhile Dictator Won Kahr has
shown himself shrewd politician,
having permitted an increase in rents,
thus relieving the sufferings OF the
property-owning middle classes, and
forcibly reducing the price of beer, to
the delight of all hearts in Munich.

Ry the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, October 1.-The reichs-
tag this afternoon voted the nrst
paragraph of the governments au-
thorization bill by 253 to 81.
The second paragraph also was
voted, but when the bill as whole
nationalist party left the reichstag
chamber.
This left the body without quo
rum and the reichstag adjourned un-
til Saturday, when a final vote on the
bill is expected.
The authorization bill as approved
by the council of the. reich and pre-
sented to the reichstag early this
week provides:
The government Of the reich is
authorized to take, in financial, eco
nomic and social spheres, the meas
ures which it deems necessary and
urgent, regardless of the rights spec
flied in the constitution of the REICH
Cannot Affect Labor.
The authorization does not extend
to the regulations governing the
hours of labor or to decreases in pen
sions and allowances.
1t is provided that the bin shall
become law upon. its promuIgat ton
and expire with the present cabinet.
or at the latest, in any event, by
March 81, 1924.
President Ebert this afternoon in
vested Chancellor Stresemann with
authority to dissolve the reichstag in
the event the governments authoriza-
tion bill fails to command the neces-
sary two-thirds majority in that body.
The chancellor Immediately in
formed the coalition party leaders of
the alternative confronting the gov
ernment parties. The socialists there
upon called a caucus with the idea of
uniting the party in support of the
authorization law.
Minority Threatens.
A minority detection in the ranks
of the socialists was the threat which
hung over the measure, giving rise to
fears that it would be defeated when
it came up for a final vote, which was
expected before 4 pm. When the So
cialists went into caucus the majority
members began a course of persua-
sion upon the minority element.
which threatened to abstain from
voting. Such an act, 1t is figured,
would prevent the governments OBJ
tanning the two-thirds majority re-
quired.
