This is an exceedingly worthy

a fitting testimonial to the admi-

PROPOSE SEPARATE
D. c. JAIL ADDITION
Commissioners Modify Plans
and Would Provide for
Woman Prisoners.

Amendment Of the bill providing
for an addition TO the District Jail, so
that q separate building, instead OF
the originally proposed dormitory
wing, can be erected, was urged by
the District Commissioners yesterday
In a letter to Senator Capper, chair
man of the Senate District committee.
The problem Of enlarging the Jail
In the most effective and economical
manner has been carefully studied by
the Board Of Charities and Municipal
Architect Albert L. Harris, since the
bill was first introduced, the Commis-
sioners pointed out, and several ad-
vantages are to be gained by making
the enlargement Of the process Of re-
arranging the present east wing of
the building and making a separate
building instead of the erection Of q
dormitory wing to the old building.
The advantages in favor Of this plan
were outlined as follows:
81. The women prisoners would be
housed in the new addition, entirely
separated from the main jail building.
Now the woman prisoners, housed in
the east wing Of the jail, must go
through the main jail corridor in
order to reach their quarters. The
proposed arrangement will be a great
advantage over the present and super
vision will be much easier when the
women prisoners are in a separate
building
"2. A larger number OF additional
prisoners can be accommodated for
the same expenditure, for the reason
that the proposed new wing for
women need not be of so expensive
construction as the present Jail build
ing, as 1t has been the experience OF
the Jail authorities that women pris-
oners seldom, If ever, try to break
Jail.
'3. BY removing the old cells in the
main building now occupied by
women, and removing the kitchen to
the new wing, the present east wing
can be renodelled into dormitories at
a lower cost than cell construction
and will accommodate a larger mum.
Der of prisoners, because there will
be better opportunity for ventilation
in dormitory construction. The east
wing can thus be made to accommo-
date from 200 to go additional pris-
oners In dormitories.
Provisions for III Prisoners.
"a. With additional facilities fur
nished as thus planned, it will be pos
sible, at most times. when the jail is
not usually crowded, to keep the sick
prisoners in the east dormitiory of
the wing which can be used for a
hospital ward and thus avoid the very
objectional proctice Of sending sick
prisoners to mingle with the other
sick in Gallinger Municipal Hospital
The amendment urged by the Com
missioners reads as follows: THAT the
commissioners of the District of Co
lunbia be, and they are hereby author
ICED to construct an additional build
ing at the District jail. and to re.
arrange the interior construction OF
the east wing Of the present Jail
building so as to provide accommoda-
tions for not less than 200 additional
prisoners. at a cost Of $SOO.0OO:
The bill providing the additional
facilities at the Jail was drafted by
the Commissioners following The

BUTLER TESTIMONY
ATTACKED At TRIAL
Col. Williams Defense Seeks
to Impeach Testimony of
His ACcuSer.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MARINE BASE, SAN DIEGO.
Calf, April 17.-Defense efforts to
impeach a brigadier generals testi-
mony by probing the recollection of
a second lieutenant brought to
desultory c.ose today the presenta-
ton OF evidence in the cocktail
court martial Of Col. Alexander $.
Williams.
The second lieutenant, Francis
Wulburn. known to followers OF Ma
rine Corps athletics last year AS a
foot ball player of promise, recalled
hearing q rumor that Brig. Gen.
Smed:ey d. Butler said something to
some one about "Col. Williams being
in Tijuana on March 9Th" But he
did not remember having told any
one, as reported by previous wit
nesses, that Gen. Butler has called
us all n bunch of lars
Inability of the lieutenant to re-
call exactly anything he might have
heard the general say discouraged
defense counsel to such an extent
that the tapering trial of testimony
was allowed to dwindle away IN
Tijuana, leaving court and spectators
to Imagine for themselves what that
Mexican border resort just south or
here had to do with the charge OF
intoxication against Col. W1liiarnS.
The court adjourned with the an
nouncement that argument or coun-
sci would be heard Monday.
When court convened today the
nresident. Rear Admiral Thomas
Washington, announced he and his
colleagues desired to call no more
witnesses, but the defense was given
permission to recall to the stand Capt.
G. Stokes, adjutant general of the
4th Regiment of Marines, which Col.
Williams commanded until Gen. But
ler ordered his arrest.
Through the testimony of Stokes
the defense began its efforts TO I'M
peach the testimony OF Gen. Butter.
The general denied during cross-ex'
animation several days ago that he
had called statements submitted to
him by officers on the condition of
Col, williams 80 pack of lies"
Stokes said he heard Capt. Clifton
3, Gates, when warned by Col. e. b.
Miller. that Gen. Butler would put
you all under oath If you don't watch
out" make the reply. What differ
ence will that make, Gen. Butler has
already told one officer that we are
all a bunch of liars"
Stokes said the officer referred to
was Second Lieut.. Wulburn, and that
Wulburn's words on the matter were:
you fellers are in for hot ses-
sion. The general already has called
us q bunch of liars"

Gated that his campaign would be
based largely upon his record in the

merous issues, particularly those Of
Importance to the farmers, would be
contrasted with the stand taken by

spected the rights OF his State in cleo

out his stand on the opposite side to
that taken by Senator Cummins on
the World Court and aluminium trust
investigation proposals and on the
McNary- -Haugen farm relief bill, and
attacked the Cummins railroad con-
solidation bill and the Esch Cummins

clared, had placed an annual tax Of
