corporal punishment.

victs first received six lashes each
with CATO -nine-tails made of
knotted rope. If their behavior does
not improve, they will be logged
periodically until the thirty lashes
are administered.

ceedings to enjoin prison authori
ties.

COST OF ANNEX
INVESTIGATED

At the request of President
Roosevelt, Commissioner Melvin C..
Hazen today commissioned Dis
trict engineers and utility experts
to determine what the cost will
be to the District and public utili-
ties if the Pan American Union
annex is built on Eighteenth st.
N. W., just north Of Constitution
Ave.
President Roosevelt made the
request in an effort to break a
year-old deadlock over site for
the annex. Hazen instructed the
engineers to compile estimates on
the costs of tearing out and re-
placing underground electric and
telephone wires, water mains and
sewer connections to conform with
a plan whereby Eighteenth st.
would be DETECTED westward below
C St., to permit construction of
the annex at the foot of the street.
Hazen said he believed the cost
would be between 100000 and
$150,000, and that approximately
$4,000 of this would be needed
for repaving and would be shoul-
dered by the taxpayers.
