PLANS TO EXPAND - PRISON AT LORTON Welfare Board May Commit District Federal Prisoners to Reformatory. Plans to care for Federal prisoners of the District of the type now being sent to the Atlanta and Fort Leaven- worth Penitentiaries and at the District Reformatory at Lorton, Va., by erection of a special building with a high con- crete wall are nearing completion, it ‘was learned today. The purpose is to relieve congestion at the Federal peni- tentiaries. The Department of Justice recently suggested the expansion to the Board of Public Welfare of the District. This body turned the matter over to the MUSEUM EXPEDITION DfiPARTS FOR HUNT FOR SAIGA ANTELOPE Party, Equipped With 9,000 Feet of Movie Film and Other Paraphernalia, Sail for the Wilds of Turkestan.

After consulting’ Capt. Barnard, superintendent of penal institutiws, and other officials, the committee decided to récommend the proposed change. To Go on Record. + | ‘The committee will go on record as strongly favoring the proposal at the next meeting of the board. The lar meeting is due to be held early in Octo- ber. There is & possibility, however, that a special session will be called to con- sider the report. Officials familiar with the situation explained today that the plan would call for housing of approximately 200 prisoners in the new inclosure at Lor- ton. Armed guards would patrol the walls at all times. The present “open eystem” would remain in effect among other Lorton prisoners. ‘While the details remain to be work- ed out, present plans call for construc- tion of the necessary new buildings and walls by men now imprisoned at Lor- ton. This, it was pointed out, would en- able the District to save a great deal in labor costs. E Bar Desperate Prisoners. ‘Under the present policy, only those Federal prisoners from the District who are belleved to be desperate are sent to the Atlanta and Fort Leavenworth prisons. A large number of Federal . prisoners, some of them serving life terms, already are being sent to Lorton. However, these men as a rule either have short sentences or are first of- fenders. ‘There is no wall around Lorton at present. While the inmates of the in- stitution are under the supervision of guards, they are not watched so closely as is deemed necessary with more hard- | ened criminals, The present prisoners | at Lorton !leer in dormitories and en- | joy other privileges denied prisoners in Atlanta and Fort Leavenworth peniten- tiaries. To Transfer Prisoners. The present plans call for the trans- fer of all Federal prisoners from the District now serving terms in Atlanta and Fort Leavenworth to the new in- closure at Lorton., In addition, more than 30 prisoners of this class now being held in the District Jail, because there is no room for them in Atianta and Fort | Leavenworth, would be sent to Lorton. Officials announced special precau- tions would be taken to keep the hard- ened criminals segregated from,the nov- ices at Lorfon at all times, This is one of the reasons for the proposed wall. Only men will be sent to the new di- vision at Lorton. Women, as at present, will be incarcerated in the Federal peni- tentiary at Anderson, W. V: CARDINAL DU BOIS, PARIS PRELATE, DIES Famous Cleric Had Just Passed Fif- tieth Anniversary of Priesthood. Noted for Broad Ideas, By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 23 —Louis Ernest Du Bois, Cardinal Archbishop of Paris, died today, aged 73. Cardinal Du Bois, who was born at Bt. Calals, had just passed the fiftieth an- niversary of his priesthood, September 21, when he received supreme unction. He had been ill for several days and little hope had been held out for him. The cardinal was Bishop of Verdun before*he became Archbishop of ‘Paris. He was noted for the broadness of his ideas and was instrumental in bringing about the reconciliation between the Vatican and the French Republic.. He became widely known when he took & position against the royal organ- i ization, L'Action Prarcaise, in France. In 1927 Cardinal Du Bois revided the old_custom of saying mass on the eve of Parliamentary sessions and was gen- erally recognized as an advocate of the complete reconciliation of the church with France. Cardinal Du Bois left an extensive li- brary, consisting of works on history, archaeology and art. WRECKED AUTO FOUND * LADEN WITH WHISKY M. M.

MELVILLE BIGAMY CHARGES DROPPED But Alleged Aviator.Is Later Arraigned on Two Perjury TAccusations. Charges of bigamy against Edwin‘A. Melville, alias Albert B. Carson, who was at one time said to have been an English aviator during the World War, were nolle prossed at Police Court to- day by Assistant United States Attor- ney Hobart Newman, owing to lack of evidence regarding an alleged second marriage. . Melville was later arraigned on two charges of perjury, one being that he gave the wrong name when securing a license to marry, the other that he gave the age of 33 years, when it was really INATIONALISTS DENY CHINESE VL WAR Declare Reports of Activity Against Nanking by Reac- tionaries Groundiess. By the Assoclated Pr ' SHANGHAI, September 23.— N: tionalist government leaders are em- phatic in denials that civil war hn] started again in China, They say nu- merous conflicfing rumors of the last few days that reactionary groups have taken the fleld against the central gov- ernment at Nanking are groundless. Meanwhile China faces another flare-up on the Manchurfan border, both Chinese and white Russians being involved in fighting with Soviet troops, according to reporty from Russian points. A clash between red and white Russians, resulting in 11 whites being killed and 10 horses and a quantity of supplies heing captured, while only 1 Soviet trooper was wounded, occurred in the Vomosov district. This fight oc- curred more than 150 miles from the Chinese border, judgéd by reports from | Chita. Russian sources also clalm Chinese lauriched . attacks in the Pabigugutur, Michinsky and Amazar districts, along the Transbaikalla section of the front- tier, while another clash was reported from the trouble center of Pogranich- naya, on the extreme eastern bordej of | Manchuria, i As yet nothing fs available from Chi- nese sources regarding these incidents, Interest here centering in the internal Chinese situation. Reports that the fa- ‘mous Cantenese 4th Division, known as “the Ironsides,” is "showing reaction- ary tendencies preparatory to over- throwing the Canton government, which is favorable to the Nanking regime, were quickly followed by word from Nanking that Gen. Chang Fah-Kwei, commander of “the Ironsides,” was ousted yesterday for attemptipg to util- ize his military command to“the, detri- ment of public peace and order. In other words, it is understood the Nan- king authorities learned the general was acting independently of the authority of the central government. It is stated the former commander of “the Iron- sides” has been ordered north for gare rison duty along the Lunghal Railway. Unofficial circles here anticipate changes in high circles of the National- ist government soon, including possible retirement of President Chiang Kal- 23 years. He was held in $5,000 bond for a hearing later. At the same time it has been disclosed that Melville at- tended a graded school in Hyattsville, Md., during the war and that at one time he was employed as an elevator boy in a local office building and on another occasion as a salesman in a Fourteenth radio shop.

OUTSTANDING WORLD EVENTS By the Assoclated Press. ‘The movement for disarmament is be- ginning in earnest, and Prime Minister MacDonald, sailing from England on September 28 to visit President Hoover in Washington, may find that the road to international reduction of armaments is longer and rougher than the journey across the Atlantic. &Ei With Great Britain and the United States séparated by a small margin on agreement on their ve naval forces, France made plain last week that the work of the five-power con- ference which is at the back of the minds of the statesmen at Washing- ton will not be easy.
