Jail situation, in the state by r.
Eugene Brown, director of the divi-
sion of institutions and corrections
of the State Board of Charities and
Public Welfare The turnover in the
jail population is very large, so that
the average daily population of all
the county jails is not more than 1900
or 1000 day, Mr.. Brown points out.
But since many of those committed to
jail are first offenders and receive
their first impressions of prison life
from these jails, it should be import
ant to maintain these iails on as
good a basis as possible, Brown main
tains.
The inspection records show that
only Al of the 100 county jails meet
the State requirements with regard
to the buildings and that of these Al
jails, only II are rated as good. % as
fair and seven as poor. Of the SO
JallS winch do not meet the state re-
qulrements, 80 are rated as fair in
maintenance and 26 as poorly main
tanned The rating given the county
Jaiis by the Federal Bureau of Pri-
sons gives so of the jails a rating be-
low 80, 4S between so and SO and only
two a rating of between so and 50.
"Thirty-four of the 100 county tails
provide doubtful protection against
fire and seven of these "a have def
mite fire hazards" Mr.. Brown said.
Eleven of these "a have no definite
Jailors or attendants on duty. while
% OF the "a have no jailor. in The
buildings at all times. These 81 tails
are heated with either wood or coal
stoves.
While all of the jails but two have
running water and some type of toilet
facilities, the two exceptions being
the jails in Hyde and Pamlico coun-
ties, the sanitary facilities in many
are very poor. Only "a of the 100
Jails have bathing facilities accessible
to all prisoners, while % have bath
ing facilities accessible in some por-
lions of the jails. In the other 81
Jails, prisoners have to be taken from
their cells and transferred to anoth-
er part of the buildings for baths.

An eleventh-hour move to aid Rep
resentative Sisson, Democrat, Of New
York in his fight for reelection to
the House was made yesterday by
the Washington Central Labor Union
and a group Of teacher organizations
opposed to the so-called "red rider"
to the 1896 District appropriation act.
All of the organizations sent tele-
grams Of praise and appreciation to
Sisson for the battle he waged at the
last session Of Congress to repeal the
red rider" which forbids the teach
ing or advocacy of communism in the
District public schools. Sisson's OPP
ponent is fighting him chiefly on the
ground that he wanted to pave the
way for the public schools to teach
the facts of communism.
The Central Labor Unions wire,
signed by John Locher, its president,
read:
I'VE are grateful to you for your
patriotic fight to allow Washington
teachers to present the full true facts
of the blessings of q democratic gov
eminent like ours in contrast with the
horrors of dictatorship, or communism,
or fascism.
Because labor is ardently devoted
to the ideals and traditions of our
democratic government, we thank you
for your fight against Government
censorship and in support Of the high
est traditions Of our American pub
Lie school system"
Similar messages were sent by the
Teachers Union, the High School
Teachers Association and the District

ABSENTEE VOTING
SETTING RECORD.
Total of Mail Ballots From
Capital May Reach
$4,000 by Tuesday.

Washington's army of absentee
voters was establishing new records
for balloting by mail last night, with
the unofficial count nearing the $4,000
mark and with balloting still open for
four States. It was anticipated the
total absentee vote mailed from the
District will total about $4,000 before
the last ballot is notarized and mailed
on election day.
Officials at both the Democratic and
Republican Absentee Voters Bureaus
reported balloting by mail Is far
heavier than at any previous election
since mail voting became legal.
One of the amazing" features Of
the 1886 mail voting, according to Mrs.
S. Jennings Asbury, in charge of the
Democratic Absentee Voters Bureau,
1410 C street, is the number Of votes
being cast by residents of the various
States who have had their names re-
instated after missing two or three
general elections.
10000 to $4,000 G. o. p. Votes.
James c. Wilkes, director of the two
Republican Voters Bureaus, set up
under auspices of the Republican
State Committee for the District at
1413 H street and at the National
Capital Republican Club, Scott Circle,
said between 10000 and $4,000 Re-
publican absentee voters ballots have
been mailed as a result Of the activi-
ties Of the two bureaus.
Although we have not been able
to keep definite figures here on the
number Of such cases." Mrs. Asbury
said, Il believe it is not an exaggera-
ton to say that we have had votes
cast by more voters who have had
their names reinstated than we have
had from new voters"
Mrs. Asbury attributed the re-
newed activity Of the older voters,
who have missed the chance to cast
their ballots in presidential election
for 8 or IL years, both to unusual in
terest in the current campaign and
to better publicity given the absentee
voters plan.
1T appears" she said, chat thou

neglected their voting privileges, have

and re-established their right to vote"

the past two days has justified pre-
dictions of total Of $4,000 Repub-
lican mail votes. In addition to the
downtown bureau, the Republican
Bureau Is maintaining q mail voting

former United States Marshall Edgar
G. Snyder.
Although balloting by mail for
voters from most Of the States had
closed last night, when the bureaus
closed their doors for the week end,
it will be resumed tomorrow morning
for Californians. who may cast ballots
up to and including Tuesday. Mail
votes by legal residents from Colorado.
Rhode Island and Kansas may be
cast only on Tuesday and the bureaus
will be open all day for that purpose.
