HOUSE APPROVES
JAIL ADDITION PLAN
Committee of Whole Acts as
Budget Bureau Gives
Its Assent.

A bill authorizing the erection of a
new wing at the District Jail to relieve
the congestion and insanitary condi
tions exposed two weeks ago in The
Star by Pete Martin" was approved
by the House in committee of the
whole today.
The Bureau of the Budget earlier
today had approved the expenditure of
100000 for the proposed two-story
dormftory addition to the District jail,
and the Commissioners subsequently
sent to Chairman Zhlman of the
House District committee a fayora BILE
report on the Mcleod bill providing
for the increased facilities.
The movement for the jail addi-
ton was started recently following
an expose of conditions.
Tentative plans for the addition call
for a wing In the rear of the present
iail building. which will house 200
prisoners. 100 on each floor. The Com
missioners have virtually decided that
it shall be used exclusively for women.
1t also will contain a kitchen. which
will be shifted from the present
building.
Addition Held Necessary.
The Commissioners report to Rep
resentative Zihlman on the Mcleod
bill follows:
The object of this bill Is to provide
additional housing facilities at the
District Jail which have long been
needed, due 10 overcrowded condition
of the present building. The bill con-
templates an expenditure of s125,000.
but an investigation made by the
municipal architect indicates that in
order to provide. adequately for the
needs of the situation. the sum of
$4,000 will be necessary.
The Commissioners believe that
the proposed legislation should be
favorably considered when amended.
so as to provide for the authorization
of an appropriation of not exceeding
5000, 900. 10 be payable in like manner
as other appropriations for the Dis
trict of Columbia. They suggest the
bill he amended by striking out all
the matter after the enacting clause,
and inserting in lieu thereof the fol-
lowing:
Budget Bureau Approves.
. That the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia be. and they
an additional building at the District
Jail at cost not to exceed $500. 900.
to be payable in like manner as
other appropriations for the District
of Columbia
The proposed legislation was sub
mitted to the director of the budget
who advises as follows:
THE purpose of this proposed
legislation is to provide adequate
additional housing facilities at the
District Jail. Such expenditure as
may be necessary to accomplish this
purpose would not be in conflict with
the financial program of the Presi-
dent.
The Citizens Advisory Council at
it's meeting last week. went on record
as approving the proposed addition
with the proviso that the Federal
Government should pay for it's
prisoners quartered there awaiting
trial.

Again. neither Of the colleges in

have any interest whatever in relative

the scheme of relinquishing the ball
before scores were made was employed
just as at Annapolis this Spring.

SUZANNE NOT LIKELY

NEW YORK. April 15.-Efforts on
the part of the United States Lawn

Lenglen to come to the United States

Lenglen. he says. has a grievance
against the American lawn tennis
authorities in general and she de-
tests In particular a certain American
who was concerned in handling details
of her visit to this country I'm 1921.
This man. according to Lenglen,
lured her into match with Mrs.
Mallory two days after she had la nd
ed and when she was not in good
health. Suzanne has never forgotten
this and she Is just az venomous now
as she was when she received her
public humiliation by the dynamic
Molla on the afternoon Of August
16. 1921.
She has no intention of pla yinG In

informant. But she does. he adds.
intend to tear things wide open at st.
Cloud and Wimbledon.
She has not been without those
warnings OF an Impending oecnne In
ability which eventually come to all
star athletes who have been supreme
in their specialties over a period Of
years.
Her game slumped at times on the
Rivera, and not always were the
LESSONS due to physical ailment. She
was not In first class condition when
Helen Wills played her at Cannes. but
experts believe her nervous condition
was due to knowledge that her form
was failing rather than 10 Ill health.
However that may he, the fact re-
mains that the French girl is now de-
voting herself TO the task of prepar'
ing mentally and physically for
tourney play In France and Eng
land. and il this really is TO be her
last season as an amateur she will
