JAIL OVERCROWDED, FLOOR USED AS BED 377 Inmates in 300-Bunk Building—Unlucky Sleep on Mattresses on Board. With the District jall filled- be- yond its capacity, many of the in- mates are being compelled to sleep on mattresses on the floor, it was dis- closed today. Three hundred and seventy-seven | prisoners are there today, with ac- commodations originally intended for 300. And the most of the 77 extra are using the improvised bunks be- cause of the shortage of cell bunks. Maj. Peake, In charge of the jail, today sald that the cause is the courts' vacation. Judges have just returned from vacations and the dockets are crowded. This time of year there is generally a peak reached at the jail, but for several years the average has not been as high as dur- ing the past summer and the last few months. Night before last the figure of 381 was reached. This was a record- breaker for recent years. Last month alone, more than 200 “intoxication” short-timers went through the jail residence period. Most_of those sleeping on mattresses on the floors come under this cate- gory. Those who are to be involun- tary government guests for long periods are given the best accom- modations possible. The peak of September’s population was reached on a day when 370 were tenants of the jail, while the low rec- ord was 320. 6,354 Jalled Last Year. The District jail last year received and discharged as many prisoners, it is estimated, Leavenworth bined. Some 6,354 went Into the jail and came out of it last year. Atlanta and Leavenworth average between 1,200 and 1,500 admissions, and the dismissals are about the same figures, The only trouble, however, accord- ing to Maj. Peake,’ is about sleeping. Eating can be handled in first-class Dpenitentiaries com- shape, since there are two dining halls and plenty of service accessories along gastronomic lines. SUSPECT PRESS AGENT.

BALTIMORE, Md., October 1l.—At the request of United States District Altorney Woodeock, Judge Soper in the United States district court, to- day signed.a temporary injunction restraining Representative John Philip Hill from continuing to manu- tacture intoxicating fruit juices at his home, 3 Franklin street. The injunction comes under section 22 of the national prohibition act, which says any place in which liquor has been manufactured may be closed. Representative Hill may move to dis- solve this injunction on five days' notice, or he may appear and answer the bill within twenty days of being served with subpoena. Gives Two Reasonms. District Attorney Woodcock issued a statement in which’ he said: “The case of Representative Hill is unus- ual for two reasons: First, the high position he occuplies, and second, he freely admits the fact, as the govern- ment contends, that he Is violating the law. The first reason entitles him to no consideration beyond that given any other person. The second reason inclines one to believe he may be seeking sincerely a judicial determi- nation of the question whether what he has done is a violation of the law rather than that he is deliberately breaking the law in a hope that he will emerge from the prosecution a hero or a martyr. “It was my intention originally to lay this case before the grand jury. More mature consideration has ‘con- vinced me the facts are substantially admitted and the question primarily is one of law. It would be more proper to lay before the judge whose province it is to determine the ques- tions of fact. I therefore asked for an injunction, -as provided in section 422 of the national prohibition act. This will allow Hill his day in court and a full opportunity to present his case. Criminal Action Open. “This is the first instance in which I have asked for an injunction until after a conviction by a jury, except where one has been issued by con- sent as a part of the compromise in a case. To that extent Representative Hill ‘{8 getting special consideration. I think, howevyer, it is justified, for the second reason stated, above, If my belief should prove to be wreng and he has deliberately violated the laws of the land, regardless of the motive involved, the injunction would | not necessarily prevent a criminal prosecution in the future. “If the government views prevail with the court no doubt a permanent injunction will be issued closing the premises. The court may allow the defendant to reopen them on giving bond that mo . violation of the na- tional prohibition law be permitted. FILIPINOS TO CARRY CAMPAIGN TO U. S. By the Associated Press.

Actual development of the proposed five-year school building program will be started at a speclal conference of the board of education and school and District government officials tonight at the Franklin School, administra- jtion headquarters of the school sys- tem. The program will be submitted to the bureau of the budget upon its completion. 2 The feasibility of drafting such a program has been under considera- tion for several months, and District government authorities have aided the school officials in collecting a mass of statistics indicating the probable growth of various sections of the city in future years and where additionai building accommodations will be needed: All of this information will be given to the school board tonight by Engineer Commissioner J. Frank- lin Bell and Assistant Engineer Com- missioner John Wood. ‘Will Abolish Portables. The contemplated program, it fis understood, will provide for the abo- lition” of - the - undesirable portables and rented structures adopted as an emergency relief for the overcrowded schools and the purchase of available school sites. 1t is the belief of Engineer Commis- sioner Bell and Supt. of Schools Bal- lou that the sites now available for future school buildings will have to | be acquirea before the rapid develop- | ment of certain sections of the city makes such a procedure impossible. Such a foresighted policy of purchas- ing property for school sites, in the | opinton of these officials, will resuit in great economy and obviate pos- sible condemnation proceedings in later years. * Formulated by Ballou. A building pregram’ similar to the one to be drafted tonight was formu- lated by. Dr. Ballou soon after he be- came superintendent, on July 1, 1920. The first program called for the ex- penditure of $2,000,000 annually for a period of five years, exclusively for new buildings and sites, and it has been carried out to a certain extent, The entire membership of the school board is expected at.the conference tonight, in addition to Supt. Ballou and other school officials who will as- sist in the.development of the new program. RAINS AID FIRE FIGHT IN MINNESOTA FORESTS By the Associated Press, ST.

Fixing of an increased speed limit for vehicles on the main arterial high- way's of the city, with a regulation re- quiring machines to come to a stop entering or crossing such arte- 1 was suggested to Commissioner Oyster today in a report on traffic problems, submitted by the Washing- ton Motor Club, which is affiliated with the National Motorists’ Association. in support of establishing such a plan: First, to enable the arteries to handle more traffic,;and, secondly, to furnish an incentive to traffic to use these ar- teries. Ald to Pedestrians, “Another distinct advantage In the system,” the report continues, “would be that it would draw considerable trafiic away from the channels mostly used by pedestrians. The plan would draw taxicabs and other fast traffic out of the congested sections and send them down Pennsylvania avenue, Massachu- setts avenue and out_16th street and other fast traffic arteries. “This traffic at present is prone to operate through F, G, H, I and 15th strcets. There are large groups of automobile users who, at present, through thoughtlessness, habit or for other unnecessary reasons, §o through the congested districts. “The purpose of the arterial system is to furnish an incentive for a large percentage of this traffic to remain out of the business districts, particu larly at rush hours. Speed Cuts Accidents. “Your committee calls attention to the fact that the present average speed of operators on an arterial road such as 16th street, for iInstance, is greater than the average speed in the downtown district, yet statistics will show that there are fewer accidents on 16th street than on other streets of smaller importance, although 16th street is now tactitly considered as an arterial roadway.” The motor .club takes the position that one-way streets in themselves are not solving any traffic problems, doing any barm. The club suggests, however. that if they are to be re- tained it would be well to use them southbound_in the morning rush pe- riod and northbound in the evening rush period. More Officers Anked. it would be more practical to extend the one-way rule farther north than the boundary of the congested sec- ; tion. The club committee recommends an increase in the number of traffic po- licemen to handle traffic under the proposed arterial or boulevard stop system. Strict. enforcement of a parking limit——preferably ome hour—on all main thoroughfares is advocated by the club. In a letter accompanying the report to the Commissioner Dr. J. Rozier Biggs, chairman of the committee, suggests that the parking problem eventually may necessitate the building of underground storage epaces. Street Repairing Urged. Improvement of a few connecting streets to make possible continuous traffic particularly from West Po- tomac Park to K street in George- town and the improvement of one or more arterial streets connecting Pennsylvanla avenue with Anacostia bridge is urged in the report. The committee told Commissioner Oyster it had the utmost confidence in the policing authorities of the city and that all recommendations and suggestions wire made in a spirit of co-operation.

STRESEMANN PLAN FOR DIGTATORSHIP DELAYED BY REICH Chancellor Authorized to Dis- solve Body Unless It Gives Approval to Bill.

By the Associated Press, BERLIN, October 11.—The reichs- tag this afternoon voted the first paragraph the government's au- thorization bill by 253 to 97. The second paragraph also was voted, but when the bill as a whole came up for a final vote the entire nationalist party left the reichstag chamber. This left the body without a quo- rum and the reichstag adjourned un- til Saturday, when a final vote on the bill §s expected.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1923. *BERLIN, October 11.—Things which have been quietly happening in Ba- ria make Dictator Von Kahr per- haps the leading figure of the whole German reactionary nationalist move- ment and bides fair to earn for.him the title already being whispered about—*the new Bismarck.” The first results of this movement appeared this week, when Adolf Hit- ler, once regarded as the predestined leader of the nationalist movement, Tost the support of his best regiments, which went over to von Kahr. These included the imperial flag and over- land organizations and the former Ehrhardt brigade, now called the Wickingbund. Hitler now possesses only a rump section of the Flag Bri- gade and some pe;sonal regiments which are of little military impor- tance. May Back Rupprecht. It is possible that he intends to place the Bavarian Wittelsbach, Prince Rupprect, on_the throne of all Ger- many, thus doing for the house of Wittelsbach _what Bismarck did for the house of Hohenzollern. It is in this connection that the appellation of “the new Bismarck” is being whispered in Bavaria. Speculation assigns as one cause of Dr. von Kahr's success in Bavarian internal politics the fact that Hugo Stinnes and other big industrialists are tacitly supporting him. It is known that Stinnes considers the von Kahr dictatorship a model for all Germany. - Stinnes is indifferent whether Germany remains a republic becomes a monarchy under the Wittelsbachs or the Hohenzollerns, so long as his own interests are fur- thered. Certain hints make it prob- able that he has shifted his support to Dr. von Kahr in the present gath- ering of forces for a general attack on_socialist Germany. Meanwhile Dictator von Kahr has shown_himseif a shrewd politician, having permitted an increase in rents, thus relteving the sufferings of the property-owning middle classes, and forcibly reducing the price of beer, to the delight of all hearts in Munich HITLER FORCES CALM.
