ARGUE FOR NEW JAIL
Organized Voters Appear Before
Supervisors With Plea-Plumb-

CLARENDON, Va, March Fol
lowing resolution advocating a new
jail, presented to the board of supervis-
ors at its meeting February Is, COM
mittee of the Organized Women Voters
OF Arlington County yesterday appeared
before the supervisors to further press
their point.
Mrs. Crandal Mackey headed the
committee, which also included Mrs
Florence E. Cannon, Mrs. Claude S.
Semones and Mrs Julian Simpson,
president of the Women Voters.
After pointing to the "disgraceful
conditions" existing in and out of the
present structure, the women told the
board that their organization was not
insisting on a 100000 plant, as has
been reported If one with all of the
conveniences of modern jail could be
constructed cheaper.
Members of the committee told the
board that they merely wanted a
building that would allow for the Segre-
CATION of prisoners and with modern
sanitation, all of which is lacking in
the present structure, they said. They
contended that there should be separate
places for confinement of juveniles, sick,
mental detectives and a detention room.
While all of the members of the board
agreed with the committee that new
Jail is needed, they expressed them
selves as being at loss as to where the
necessary funds are to come from
Members of the committee advised the
board that they would continue their
fight until something definite comes
of it.
Contact for installation of plumbing
fixtures in the new health center for
Jefferson district was awarded by the
board to Joseph D. Mcdonnell of Clar-
endon.
Sheriff Howard B. Fields was au-
thorized by the board to purchase new
Spring uniforms for members of his
force
The board adjourned until Monday
morning at 10 o'clock, when it will take
under consideration the proposed coming
ordinance for ARLINGTON County

executive to include an appropriation
for books in the next biennial budget,
step in which the Senate yesterday
refused TO join.
Against Hall Bill.
Gov Pollard said he did not favor
the Hall bill which would have appro-
priated 100000 a year during the
coming biennium for free books for the
reason that $3.50, 1000 of the amount was
to be taken from the rural elementary
school fund,
when full term of nine months for
all the schools is assured, it will be time
enough to talk about free books said
the governor, free text books would be
useless when the doors of the schools
are closed
Gov. Pollard said he regarded the
equalization school fund as the greatest
forward movement in Virginia educa-
ton in the last decade, and that he
would favor no bill which interfered
with its proper use. Passage of the
Hall bill at the present session of the
General Assembly, he said, would have
necessitated abandonment of the chief
plank of his PLATFORM full length
term for the public schools.

sanctuaries have resulted in inbreedinr.
which has been more detrimental to
the survival of wild life than the dam
age done during the hunting season.

FURTHER CLASHES
 IN MEXICO SEEN
Chihuahua Trouble Believed
 Likely to Be Resumed

Fl Paso, Tex, June 2S (P) - A correspondent for the Fl Paso Times returning from Chihuahua City, Mexico, today predicted the tense political feeling existing in the state of Chihuahua would lead to further clashes.
 Trouble was imminent, observers there informed him, regardless of whether Francisco Armada or Man uel Jesus Estrada was recognized by the federal authorities as governor.
 Armada was deposed by the cham Der of deputies during session Wednesday in which Gabriel Jimin- ez, chief of state police was slain. He fled to Juarez but later returned to the governors palace. Estrada. partisan of Manuel Prieto, suber- material candidate whose followers brought impeachment charges against Armada, was made provis- ional governor.
 The Times correspondent said both Armada and Estrada claimed to be serving in the states executive chair. One had his offices across the nall from the other in the governors s palace and both were transacting official business, awaiting the de- cision of Mexico City federal author ities as to who should be recognized.
 The Times representative learned before leaving the city that neither governor had been recognized by the government at Mexico City.
 Armada was reported as strong in rural districts, while Chihuahua cit izens appeared to favor Estrada the correspondent said. He questioned many Chihuahua business men, who claimed that Armada, the governor busted by the chamber of deputies. had handled his office in irregular fashion. They favored retention of Estrada until the July 20 election, when new governor would be reg ularly chosen.
