Today he returned-we wish we might say, arrived back homeland goes Westward on his second bear hunt. With the capable field men in charge of the large expedition, it is fOregone con- cIusion the entire trip will be wonderful success.

8 o'clock last night when the biplane
he was flying came out Of the spin

JURY RECOMMENDS
NEW JAIL BUILDING
Present Facilities Described
as Inadequate in Report
to Mccoy.

A new jail building is recommended
in report of the District grand Jury
submitted today to Chief Justice MCCOY.
The present facilities are described in
the report as inadequate, impossible
of sufficient ventilation and proper sani-
tation and not in keeping with modern
prisons"
The management of the jail, as well
as Of the other District penal institu-
tions, is commended by the grand
jurors as the result Of recent visits by
that body.
The report reads: During the month
OF June the grand jury visited the
House OF Detention, the reformatcry at
Lorton, the workhouse at Occoquan and
the District jail
Commendation Offered.
Upon the occasion of our visit to
the House of Detention we were shown
through the rooms of this institution
by Mrs. Van Wrinkle, the superintendent.
and her corps Of capable assistants. It
Is evident that Mrs. Van Wrinkle is
laoor1ng with inadequate facilities and
cellent manner in which this bureau is
being conducted. While it is apparent
that many things are necessary, that
most needed Is some facility for heating
water, and 1t is recommended that a
gas water-heater be provided as quickly
as possible.
"At the reformatory we found all of
the inmates housed in modern brick
buildings and 1t Is evident when the
building program Is completed this in
stitution will be the most modern Of its
KIND In the country. It Is to be noted
that no walls or armed guards are
necessary. It Is understood that other
grand jurtes have recommended new
laundry equipment for the reformatory
as there Is practically none at the pres
ent time, but nothing has been done
to this time. It Is earnestly recon-
mended that this much needed equip
ment be supplied as quickly as possible.
Treatment Of Prisoners Praised.
utmost commendation Is offered
Capt. Barnard and Mr.. Tawse for their
treatment Of the prisoners and for the
work being done with them, apparently
giving them excellent opportunity to At
themselves for life when they are re-
leased from the reformatory.
"At Occoquan brick buildings are be-
ing constructed as quickly as possible to
replace the old frames.
Upon our visit to the jail we were
conducted upon tour of inspection by
Maj. Peak. The apparent successful ad-
ministration Of the institution by Mai.
Peak is highly commended. However,
the grand jury feels that 1t is not too
soon to recommend new building, for,
while apparently supervised, conducted
and maintained as well as circum-
stances permit, the present facilities are
inadequate, impossible Of suficient ven
tilation and proper sanitation, and
otherwise not IN keeping with modern
prisons"

MINISTER TO REWARD
FINDER OF LOST WATCH
Dropped From Auto Along With
Coat He Left on Tire Rack
on Running Board.

Rev. J. Phelps Hand, District super
intendent Or the Methodist Episcopal
Church, can write another sermon, but
the watch he lost along with his SER
mon notes when he forgot to take his
coat from the spare tire on his auto
mobile yesterday is Of such sentimental
value that he has posted reward for
its return.
Rev. Mr.. Hand, Tightening gadgets
on his car like the true motorist, hoped
in and set out for Anacostia, forgetting
he had left his coat on the tire rack
on the running board. Recollection
struck him ct Anacostia, and he hoped
out, but the coat was gone. He retraccd
his way from his home, but did not find
the coat. Then he went to the police.
A report got out that the watch was
stolen from Rev. Mr.. Hand few mo-
ments after 1t was presented to him,
but the report was slightly inaccurate.
The watch was presented to him eight
years ago by the men of Trinity Meth
odist Episcopal Church upon the COM
pletion of his pastorate.
Rev. Mr.. Hand said nothing to police
about his sermon notes, which were in
an inside pocket of the coat. But If
the finder will return the coat and
watch, he said he had liberal reward
ready for presentation.
