the brakes. He added the car rolled
over several times before stopping, pass
ing over Hellwig's body In the process
The man was pronounced dead by DR..
James I. Boyd of Forestville.

TRUSTEES SEEKING
PERMANENT CHIEF.
OF TRAINING SCHOOL
e
Board Member Declares Only
Few Minor Changes
Are Contemplated.
HUNGER STRIKE AT BOYS
INSTITUTION DENIED
Food Is Called Wholesome and
Practice of Whipping Unruly
Youths Upheld.

UNFOLDING the practice at the Ma
tional Training School for Boys, on the
Bladensourg road, of whipping recalci-
trant youths las an alternative to send
ing the boys to another institution
where they would be placed in confine-
ment behind bars" Samuel Ross, a
member of the board OF trustees, today
said the board is locking for a compe-
tent superintendent to take over the
duties of E. j. Hickey, now serving as
superintendent of the school under q
temporary appointment.
MIR. Ross said today that except for
a few minor changes contemplated at
the school, the conduct of the schools
affairs is now satisfactory. He emphat-
ically denied published reports that
there has recently been a hunger strike
at the school following some disaffec-
ton among the youths quartered there.
Visitors Can See Them.
"Any one interested" Mr.. Ross said,
may go out to the school at any time
and sit down to a meal with the boys
and observe conditions. The boys are
eating heartily Of good, wholesome
food
The trustee explained that ever since
the dismissal. some time ago, of the
schools superintendent, and the tenn
porary elevation of Hickey, the assistant
superintendent, the board has been go
ing over list of candidates for the SUI
perintendency. One of the list is eX-
pected 10 be chosen shortly.
Boys at the school WHO prove I'M
ruly, Mr.. Ross said are given whippings
because there Is no other efficacious
punishment possible. He pointed out
that there are no cells there for con-
finement and that the only alternative
to whipping is to send the boys away
from the school to some Jail or peniten-
tiary, where they would be locked be-
hind bars.
Choice Of Discipline.
ITO those who find objection to whip
ping boys" he said, II ask, Had you
rather your boy was spanked or locked
up for a long period of time?'"
Use of iron shackles on the. legs OF
boys who repeatedly tried to escape
recently was forbidden by the board OF
trustees of the school following wide
publicity of one instance where two
youths were kept in shackles for SO
days.
When the Stacking was forbidden
whipping with a length of rubber hose
was resorted to with the approval OF
the members of the board of trustees
Mr.. Ross today complained: There
are a lot Of people trying to get into
the management of the school. That
is the cause of all this stirring up OF
sentiment about conditions there. The
school is well run and is doing good
work"
The National Training School fol
Boys Is Federal institution.
