DAY WILL RECEIVE
SAME TREATMENT
AS OTHER INMATES
Duties Will Depend on Quail
fications and Circumstances,
Says Maj. Peake.
NOT EXPECTED TO START
SENTENCE FOR A MONTH
Superintendent Does Not Intend to
Discuss Day Matter
With Sinclair.

What happens to Henry Mason Day,
associate of Harry F. Sinclair, when he
starts serving his four months sentence
at the District jail. depends both on
his qualifications and circumstances In
the meantime.
Mai. William L. Peake, jail superln-
tendent. explained this morning that he
does not expect Day to start serving his
sentence for another month and in the
meantime he is not considering where
to place him. He does not intend to
discuss Day with Sinclair, but will de-
ternine his qualifications just as he
would those Of any other prisoner.
Will Not Go to Occoquan.
Day will serve his sentence at the
Jail instead of being sent to the work
house at Occoquan in accordance with
the traditional policy with contempt
cases. The theory behind this is some
what obscure, but Maj. Peake explains
that it was adopted years ago to be on
the safe side after former Superin-
tendant had been sued for damages by
q contempt prisoner sent to Occoquan.
Also it Is a traditional policy never
to make TRUSTEES" of contempt prison
ers. These are the prisoners assigned
to the ward and greenhouses of the jail
itself and to the daily detail OF As who
work in the wards and on the farm OF
Gallinger Hospital. The latter nave
no guards over them.
This. Mai. Peake said, is no reflection
on the trustworthiness of men sentenced
for contempt, but is based on the as
sumption that the sentence In such a
case means just what 1t says-that the
man shall actually serve in prison. II
a trusy in prison for some common Of
Tense escapes 1t is taken as a matter
{C
nobody notices It, But II a man OF some
prominence sentenced for contempt
should escape the jail administration
would be subjected to no end OF criti-
cism.
Stenographer Is Needed.
There is usually a place for men
with educational qualifications at the
jail outside the common labor details,
but these vary from time to time.
Just at present q stenographer Is
needed badly, and it may not be pos
sible to fill the place before Day starts
serving his sentence. In that case.

man with fair education who can
run a typewriter. sentenced for any
considerable period, is likely to get Of
fee work of some kind eventually.
Qualified typiStS are rare in the
groups of prisoners that pass through
the Jail.
Maj. Peak explained that it is
against the policy to make any in
quiries as to prisoners qualifications
before he actually has started serving
his sentence. But there are few lines
of ordinary human activity which have
not some place in jail community, If
the right sort of prisoners can fe found

TWO WOMEN SEEK
TO ADOPT FOUNDING
Baby Abandoned IN Cardboard
Box Is Named Mary
Moses by Nurses.

Two women applied at Children's
Hospital yesterday to adopt the thre:-
day-old baby who was found abar =
doued in a cardboard box in a shallow
stream near Nevada avenue and Chapel
road Sunday morning. They were told,
however, that the infant would first
have to be turned over to the Board of
Public Welfare. which could authorize
its adoption. Both women promised 10
try again at the proper time to gain
possession of the infant.
Meanwhile the child is gaining
strength and is as we'll as If 1t had never
been cruelty exposed. When found it
was entirely unclothed Nurses at the
hospital waited expectantly all day for
the arrival of l3-year-old Clyde Stevens
of 3711 Huntington street. who first
heard the wall of the infant and who
was to have the honor of naming her.
But yesterday evening, when the boy
did not appear, the nurses took mat
tiers in their own hands and decided
on the name of Mary Moses. since the
child like the Moses of the Bible, was
found on the edge of a stream.
The founding will remain at thu
Hospital for several weeks and the,i
will be turned over to the Board q
Public Welfare.

AERIAL EYE TEST
PLANE ARRIVES
Jenkins Flying TeIevision"
Laboratory Being Prepared
for Experiments.

The flying television laboratory" in
which C. Francis jenkins, local inven-
tor, plans to test his aerial eye" for
broadcasting panoramic views from a
plane to the ground. has arrived here
from the manufacturers and is being
put through preliminary practice.
The laboratory" is a Stinson Junior
cabin monoplane of special design, seat
ing four passengers and providing space
for the intricate televiSion broadcaSttng
apparatus soon to be installed by Mr..
jenkins.
Section of Floor to Be Cut Away.
A section of the floor of the cabin
will be cut away to serve as scanning
aperture for the EYE" which the in
ventor believes can be developed to rev.
olutionize aerial mapping and war
communications. With such device,
front line warfare could be made viSi-

It is known that Government officials
are watching with interest preparations
for the experiments soon to begin. The
tests will be made from the pane as it
flies over Washington, the visual scenes
below being transmitted by radio to Mr..
jenkins new 5,000-watt televiSion sta
ton, nearing completion on the Brooke
Vile pike in Maryland.
The powerful station will be known
as W3XK, the same call letters assigned
the small laboratory station now at the
inventors headquarters, at 1919 Con-
necticut avenue. Two 128-foot towers
have been erected and broadcasting
apparatus now Is being installed in a
house which has been converted into a
studio and laboratory.
Will Broadcast Pictures.
In addition to carrying on the aerial
experiments, the new station will broad
cast daily program of radio movies in
silhouette, for entertainment and edu-
cational purposes.
It is estimated that about 10000
amateur television fans are now receiv-
ing the jenkins picture broadcastS
from the present weak station, and he
expects this number to be multiplied
many times when the larger station is
opened.
Mr.. Jenkins is plotting the flying lab
oratory" himself in the practice flights
now under way, and he will handle the
plane during the actual experiments.
He was an experienced seaplane pilot.

and arms to see if there were any
broken bones. and eventually decided
that there were none. According to
DR.. Lowden, Stringer talked and
laughed a great deal while this was
going on, but If this is true, Stringer
has forgotten 1t.
After the ear had been dressed,
Stringer was taken back to the station
house charged with being drunk. and
placed in a cell. He went to sleep on
the floor. Several hours later he was
awakened by pain in his leg and Shout
der. He made inquiry Of the police and
was told he had been struck by an
automobile.
On hearing this surprising news,
Stringer examined his leg and found 1t
was swollen nearly twice its normal
size. He called the attention OF the
police to the swelling and the officers
called an ambulance from Casualty
Hospital. An examination at the hos
pital disclosed indications Of bone frac-
lures in the leg and in the shoulder,
and he was ordered to bed. X-rays will
be taken today to determine the full
extent of the injuries.
