until April 4, pending selection Of a
permanent new head.
The delayed retirement application
revives the problem as to selection of
Barnard's successor, which has been
agitated for nearly two years. More
than a year ago the Welfare Board
recommended to the Commissioners
that they appoint Harold E. Donnell,
superintendent of Maryland State
prisons. The Commissioners sent the
recommendation back. and Allen re-
marked at the time, I'VE have a gen.
eral superintendent Of penal institu-
tions, the best in the country. He can
have the job as long as he wants to
hold it."
Friends Of Col. William L. Peak,
superintendent of the Lorton Re-
formatory and formerly head of the
District Jail, campaigned actively for
his promotion. Later the name of
Capt. Thomas M. Rives, head of the
District Jail, was advanced. The
Commissioners let the matter stand
there.
Capt. Barnard is credited with hav-
ing developed a model reformatory
institution at Lorton. He entered
District service more than 20 years
ago as head of Lorton, later being
promoted to general superintendent.
1t was under his direction that the
institution was developed as an "honor
system" reformatory without walls.
In recent years, however. Barnard,
his assistants and members of the
Welfare Board have had difficulty
in preserving the model reformatory
features. Due to the increasing num-
ber of prisoners at the institution, it
became necessary to permit a mixture
of hardened criminals and youthful
first offenders. As a matter of safety,
a protecting wall was built around the
institution and the number Of cell
blocks was increased.
In his letter applying for retire.
ment, Capt. Barnard referred to this
problem. He said:
"I feel at this time that should call
your attention to the fact that fol-
several years I have been advocating
a hospital for inebriates at the Work
House, and a well regulated probation
system for the young first offenders
who are sent to the Reformatory, and
I hope that the community will gel
behind Judge Edward Curran (an ad-
vocate of such changes), as I think
he is right in what he is trying to do
II feel sure that with these two
propositions, the population of the in.
stitutions would be reduced from 2S
to so per cent, and 1t will be better
for the inmate and society will not be
injured by the same"
During December the Reformatory
had a prison population Of 1909, OF
200 more than were there in Decem.

SUES
FOR DIVORCE

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May IS.
The romance for which Natalie
Carr abandoned a convent in
Canada Was revealed today as an
other illusion in the life Of the
society heireSs.
In divorce papers filed in Fair.
field county superior court, the
former VaSSar girl accuses Walter
Burke Coll. son Of wealthy Mrs.
Arthur P. Coll, Of Stamford, Conn.,,
of 'intolerable cruelty"
Disillusionment In her married
life began April /. 1885, II days
after she became the bride of Coll,
according to the wife's complaint.
She requests custody Of their 11a'
month-old son, Joseph P. C. Coll.
Mrs. Coll said her husbands
abuse finally forced her to leave
him last March 80, shortly before
the birth of the baby. She re-
turned to New York, and Coll re-
NAMED in Stamford.
Natalie alarmed her mother,
Mrs. Emily Elliott Carr, when she
abruptly dropped out Of sight in
the summer Of 1888. Several

tional search by police, she was
found at Quebec, where she had
applied for admission to the Con-
vent of st. Hyacinthe, and brought
