16 FACTORY SYSTEM AT LORTON 1S HIT Barnard Would Make Trade Training Not Volume Pro- duction Reformatory Goal. A protest against the “growing ten- dency” to make the District Reformatory at Lorton, Va., a manufacturing center is contained in the annual report of Capt. M. M. Barnard, superintendent of penal institutions, made public to- day by George Wilson, director of public welfare “It should be well to remember that primarily the reformatory is an institu- tion for correctional purposes and it is the aim of those in charge to return the inmate to society better fitted to resume his place than when he entered the institution,” said Capt. Barnard. “This we are attempting to do, in one way by teaching various trades to men who never cared ta nor had the chance to learn before coming here. Would Penalize Fugitives. “We fully appreciate the fact that those serving sentences should be eom- pelled to perform daily labor, but there is a growing tendency on the part of some to make a manufacturing center at the reformatory. We believe too much emphasis is being laid on the matter of production and too much is expected of the inmate. Capt. Barnard also recommended the adoption of a penalty in the form of an additional sentence for prisoners who escape. There is no penalty at present, he pointed out, but the adop- tion of one would aid discipline and prevent attempts to escape. However, Capt. Barnard said, the of- ficials at the penal institutions have had little difficilty in the handling and disciplining of prisoners, and dur- ing the year there were only six suc- cessful escapes. ‘The reformatory was at the height of industry during ‘the year, Capt. Bar- nard reported. The foundry produced approximately $4,000 worth of castings for the water and sewer ddepartments and the broom manufacturing plant has flourished since its inception. Ten acres of broom corn are now in cultiva- tion, he said, which will greatly reduce the cost of production as the broom corn heretofore hnd to be purchased. Cross Trmmphant Plans.

GENEVA, October 4.—A near-duel yesterday threw into wild excitement the consular corps here. Before the proposed encounter had been indefi- nitely postponed _representatives of Latin America and Europe had been dragged into the affair. Raoul Siegrist, agent for an American automobile concern and who is also consul for Bulgaria, was the storm center. He claimed he had been in- sulted during trial of his suit against a Swiss automobile agent by M. Moriaud, son of the president of the council of the Geneva Republic, an attorney who often infants. , Mrs. W. Wilkins Reed.

Siegrist sent a challenge to Moriaud, a League of Nations official acting as his second. The Rumanian Minister, M. Antoniade, ruled that Moriaud was not justified in fighting.
