PRISON FOR WOMEN
PROPOSED NEAR D. C.
Senate Passes Bill Providing for
Federal Institution
Here.

The establishment of a federal in
dustrial institution for the confine-
ment of woman prisoners convicted
in United States courts and sentenced
to Imprisonment for more than a year
is proposed in a bill passed by the
Senate today.
This institution. it is understood,
Will be located within the District of
Columbia or nearby. A committee
consisting of the Attorney General,
Secretary of Interior and Secretary of
Labor is directed by the bill to select
site for the institution, either in
connection with some existing in
Stitution or elsewhere.
The institution will be, in effect, an
industrial farm. The proposed legis-
lation has the backing of many of
the leading organizations of women
in the country.
Senator Curtis of Kansas. who in
troduced the bill, called the attention
of the Senate to the situation now
existing, which makes the establish
ment of the proposed institution nee
essary. There are approximately $50
woman prisoners, convicted of of of
fenses in the United States courts and
sentenced to Imprisonment for more
than year. There is no room for
them in a federal penitentiary and
they have been placed in state penal
institutions. But the states are now
refusing to contract further for the
keep of these women.
Only two states, California and New
Jersey, are still willing to accept
them. The records show that the
number of woman prisoners has in
creased very largely in recent years
During the last Congress it was
proposed that the institution for the
federal woman prisoners be located
at Mount Weather, in Virginia. There
were protests against the selection OF
this site, however.

RECEIVERS NAMED
FOR LOCAL HOTEL
Steinberger, Arlington Proprietor,
Alleged to Be Bank
rupt.

Joshua Evans. jr., Abner II. Fergu-
son and Milton w. King were ap-
pointed today by Justice Bailey of the
District Supreme Court as receivers
of Samuel Steinberger. who conducts
the Arlington Hotel, on Vermont ave-
nue..
The bond of the receivers was fixed
at $4,000, as the order of the court
is based on a eptition of three cred
itors of Mr.. Steinberg asking that he
be adjudged bankrupt.
The court is told that the hotel
proprietor is insolvent and that he
committed an act of bankruptcy by
writing under date of January that
he is unable to meet his obligations.
Attorneys Newmyer e. King, for
Mr.. Steinberger, consented to the ap-
pointment of receivers pending the
meeting of his creditors for the Sc
lection of a trustee in bankruptcy

son & Ellis represented the COM

were represented. at the Shoreham
Hotel, he asserted such a proposition
would inevitably be tied up with the
whole plan of governmental reor-
ganization.
Speakers at the conference, which is
meeting preliminary to the annual con-
vention of the American Engineering
Council Of the Federated American
Engineering Societies, has expressed
hope that the so-called Brown p1an,"
separating the Department of the In
terror into a division of public works
and division of public domain, would
be adopted soon.' The plan would have
grouped the engineering functions of
the government under a single head,
which has been the aim of American
engineers for years.
Secretary Hoover told his audience
that he thought the vast public works
functions of the government must be
segregated, but he added it would
have to be accompanied by similar
segregation of all other governmental
activities. 1t would be impossible to
accomplish such a task this year, he
thought. Action to reconstruct trans
portation facilities is impeTatively
needed, he declared, pointing out that
the national losses suffered through
inadequate transportation facilities
in 1920 probably would exceed bill
lion dollars

tions of George Il. b. Peddy, his op-
ponent, were made today in an an
swer filed with the Senate elections
committee by Senator Mayfield, demo-
crat, Texas, in the Texas senatorial

terms it first outlines the primary
election; his entrance into the pri-
mary elections; his actions in regard
to ii and the Texas provisions of law
on the subject; the result of the two o
primary elections, the nomination of
the republican candidate, his with
drawal and the selection of the con-
testant as the republican candida te
and the laws of Texas in the matter
and the litigation in Texas which re-
suited. as we'll as the litigation which

BONUS DEFEAT SEEN
THROUGH INSISTENCE
Representative Graham Complains
to President of Harassing
of Lobbyists.
MEASURE LOSING FRIENDS
Congress Advocates Declare Tax
Plan Is First. .s

President Coolidge was told today
by Representative w. ]. Graham of
Illinois that officers of the American
Legion and individual veterans Of
the world war themselves are rapidly
defeating the soldiers bonus by
their insistence~ that the bonus be
taken up before tax reduction Leg
iSlation.
This statement has particular sig
nlhcance because Representative
Graham himself has been an ardent
compensation, and only a few weeks
ago was at the White House advo-
eating, among other things that the
bonus legislation be given right of
way over the administration tax
reduction plan. Mr.. Graham said to-
day after seeing the President that
he has changed his position, at least
to the extent of believing that tax
reduction legislation should be dis
posed of by this Congress before any
thing else
lie asserted that there are any
number of representatives who feel
as he does now, and who were among
the most staunch supporters of the
soldiers, and who, up until a week or
so ago, were calling for the bonus
first. He intimated that the Ameri-
can Legion, through it's legislative
colnmittee and its officers and indi-
vidual veterans who have come to
Washington as self fappointed lobby
lists, should realize that by their in
cessant demand for the bonus first
they have reached point where they
are now in danger of losing consid-
cradle support among former advo-
Gates of their cause
Mr.. Graham was accompanied to
the White House by Martin r. Carl
son of Moline, Ill, a former member
of the state senate of Illinois, who
is now president of the John Erick-
son Republican League of Moline. Mr.
Carlson explained to the President
that the league is to. give an elab-
crate banquet on March in honor of
the inventor of the Monitor of civil
war fame and that he would like the
President to participate. When told
by the latter that the pressure of
business would not permit him to
leave Washington at that time Mr..
Carlson asked that some member of
his official family De sent to the cele-
bration to personally represent him.
Henry Lane Wilson of Indiana, former
ambassador to Mexico, and who is un-
derstood to have been picked by Presi-
dent Harding as ambassador to Tur-
key, was in conference with the Presi-
dent today. Senator Watson of In
diana saw the President several days
ago in the interest of Mr.. Wilson for
this diplomatic post and is to confer
with the President again late this after
