for correcting these conditions. II the

explained, to determine the cause Of

It is likely that Col. Ladue will
direct the water department to make
a careful check on the amount of
water used by the street cleaning de-
partment, the fire department and
other District agencies, as well as by
the Federal Government. He believes
that large quantity of the loss may
be accounted for through such usage.
The five-year development program
IL carried out, 1t was estimated, would
necessitate an increase of about 80 per
cent in present water rates. Col. LadHe
emphasized, however, that this program
Is tentative. and many changes may
be made which would make an In

JUDGE O'TOOLE ASKS
DEATH PENALTY END
Radio Audience Told Method Is
Cruel and Ineffective as
Crime Deterrent.

A plea for abolition Of the death
penalty here was delivered last night
BY Judge Mary O'Toole Of Municipal
Court, chairman of the committee on
law and legislation Of the washington
Chamber Of Commerce, in radio ad-
dress over station WMAL.
The speaker pointed out that the
chamber had requested her committee
to investigate the subject and return
report with the idea of guiding the or
ganization in the formulation of pol
icy, either for or against bill to abol-
ish capital punishment. A debate on
the subject will be held by the chamber
Thursday night at 8 o'clock at the May
flower Hotel.
In inflicting the death penalty, she
said, I'VE are simply doing that for
which we are Furnishing the individual.
In doing so, we are infinitely more
cruel since the wretch we condemn has
the horror of 1t before him every min
ute during the hours, days. weeks,
months or years until he is annihilated;
whereas, his victims agony was prob
ably short"
Quoting crime figures from this coun-
try and abroad, Judge O'Toole said:
1T would appear that the infection of
capital punishment Is not a deterrent
Experience teaches that the certainty
of punishment is the deterrent rather
than the severity of it. We no longer
read lists Of outrages in New York since
they have laws compelling the courts
to send proven criminals to jail for life."

Under the new policy fthe zoard with

those that are in substantial condi-
ton.
Wherever 1t is possible to place

pairs before the opening Of the school
