Board Wants Department
Heads to Speed Up Work
of ALLEGATION.

The personnel classification board
will send out a sharp hint to all
the departments to speed up their
work Of allocating all their en-
ployes
Chairman Bailey today said that
the missionaries from the de-
partments were coming in SLOWLY.
He believed that much better speed
could be made if the various de-
partmental boards realized that it
was necessary to include the alloca-
tons in the estimates to be given
to the budget bureau not later than
September Is.
A circular already has been pre-
pared for departmental officers,
calling their attention to the delay
and asking them to get busy i'm
mediately.
Chairman Bailey also announced
today that he would confer with
Luther P. Steuart. president of the
Federation of Federal Employees, in
the near future, with regard to
postponement Of oral hearings on
the problems of reclassification
until next winter.

INTERNATIONAL NENIs RFTI

Definite steps designed to gain
possession Of the offices Of the
Recorder Of Deeds on four floors of
the Century building, 412 Fifth street
northwest, were taken today on be-
half Of owners Of the structure when
they filed suit against the three Dis
trict Commissioners through At
torney Louis Gutenberg in the
Municipal Court. The case is set
for July 10.
Attorney Gutenberg explained to"
day that the owners Of the Century
building, Louis and Isaac Cordisn.
of Baltimore. believed they would be
better satisfied with private tenants
than with the District Government.
I'VE are not anxious to Gust the
Recorder Of Deeds and his corps OF
clerks" Attorney Gutenberg ex-
planned, "but are anxious to preserve
the best interests of our clients"
Gutenberg expressed the opinion
today that the legal action against
the Commissioners will result in
Congress appropriating money for a
new building for the Recorder Of
Deeds and said that in that event his
clients would consent to renewing
the lease until the new building Is
fininshed. The original lease made
by the District Commissioners eX-
pired June 80.

The bullet entered the leftside

smaller than the bullet hole on the

Despite his declaration in a for

and narcotic ingredients smuggled
into Federal prisons, Heber H.
VotaW, superintendent Of these in
stitutions, still finds himself con-
fronted by q menacing situation.
THE drug evil" his communica-
ton said, as one OF the most alarm
ing situations that we must cope
with, and It IL a regrettable fact
that thousands Of young men and
women, too, are slaves of the habit.
If the Federal Government would
establish an institution for first
offenders, we would be able to sal
wage many incipient human wrecks.
AS the situation Is, however, these
men and women who are just begin
ming to fall victims Of the drug habit
must be herded together with old
offenders and incurable users Of
narcotics"
Officials Implicated.
The thorough investigation con-
Quoted by superintendent Votaw's
men at Atlanta penitentiary, where
conditions were very bad, and in
other Federal prisons. has revealed
that while most Of the smuggling
Of dope inside the gray walls is
attributable to eonnivance Of priso-
ners with relatives and friends out
side, prison functionaries were not
guiltless by any means.
I'm few institutions" he states,
guards and TRUSTEES were found to
be in league with the prisoners re-
curing the drugs, and in some in
stances these guilty individuals
were discharged, or arrested and
indicted. So thorough has been the
investigation that the prisons are
said to be almost entirely free OF
the element Of connivance which
made possible the importation of
the drugs.

Some Of the schemes adopted to
get dope to the prisoners are almost
beyond credence in their subtlety.

it has been tried out in Federal

chiefs saturated in a dope solution
and afterward ironed were often got
ten in to prisoners. who would "vir-
tually eat the cloth or permit it to
remain in their mouths, thereby alb
stracting the drug from the CLOTH"
Convicted persons in many cases
brought dope to the cells assigned
them in the soles or heels of their
shoes. Now they are required to
purchase a new pair from the au-
thorities upon commencing their
terms. Babies, held up between cell
bars to be caressed by fond fathers
or mothers were discovered to be
the innocent bearers of dope, secret.
ed in their garments.
But the results Of the investiga-
ton, says Superintendent votaw,
has been that the thousands Of
prisoners are now experiencing
great difficulty in securing "even
small quantities of the stuff as
1t is termed in criminal parlance."
