A move to enlist public support for Phe proposals for creation of a board of | Fore Tor Washington and _institution ere of a system of indeterminate sen- nces for prisoners, except those con- wicted of certain major crimes, was Started yesterday, when the matter was lald before the committee of the Wash- | ington Chamber of Commerce on police | #nd fire protection and public safety. The proposed measures have been in- orsed in_principle by n.embers of the d of Public Welfare of the District | #nd by the local Federation of Women's Clubs, and were brought to the atten- tion of the chamber for consideration by Miss M.

Stockman, chairman of the a;lbllc safety committee, was empowered | appoint a special subcommittee to, make a study of these proposals and ! the penal system here, and to make an | early report for consideration. The need for the indeterminate sen- tence plan was urged by George S. Wil- | son, director of public welfare; Miss McCall and Michael M. Doyle, former Sudge of Police Court here, Lieut. Mina Van Winkle, head of the ‘woman's bureau of the Police Depart- sent, and Capt. M. M. Barnard, super- intendent of penal institutions of the District, also discussed the matter. Judge Doyle told the committee he believed a system of indeterminate sen- tences would work for the good of so- giety, as well as for prisoners. Explains Sentence Plan. Miss McCall brought out that under | n indeterminate sentence there is a aximum and minimum length of term, @nd parole might be granted after pervice of six months, provided that a risoner had served at least one-fifth ©f the maximum sentence. It was brought out also that the pro- ed new system would provide for the ployment of a psychiatrist, who would make an analysis of the mental status of prisoners as a basis for deter- mining what kind of work they shou]di be given or what other treatment was best for the rehabilitation of the pris- oner.

Yester- day's commission didn’t have a prac- tical man on it. Every one was a college professor. It is to find out “what has brought changes in our lives here latel Knowing college professors, he gave them three vears to agree on an answer.

Showalter’s Ac- tion Names Gladys Jenkins Co-respondent. John B. Showalter, president of the Showalter Realty Co., was sued today for an absolute divorce by his wife, Madeline E. Showalter, 1203 Sixlh( street. Gladys Jenkins is named as co-respondent. The suit is filed as an aftermath of the arraignment of Showalter, the Jenkins girl, Robert W. Karla and Vir- ginia Gann in Police Court some days ago on a statutory-charge and threats preferred by Mrs. Catherine M. Karla, who later filed suit for an absolute divorce from Robert W. Karla. The four defendants asked for & jury trial in Police Court. According to the petition of Mrs. Sho- walter for the absolute divorce, she was married at Alexandria, Va. November 1, 1921, and separated June 30 last. She says Showalter was a former prehibition agent and when he left the service of the Government was worth $50,000, while she is in ill health and unless her husband is required to pay her alimony she will be thrown on the generosity of her family. She declares the separa- tion resulted from cruelty of the de- fendant and from information that he was keeping company with the core- spondent. She also tells the court of the arrest of Showalter and the other three defendants in the Police Court THE - EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, NATIVES PROTEST | VOTELESS DISTRIGT Society of Natives Hears Head Urge Granting of Fran- chise to Local Citizens. An address by Fred A. Emery, presi- dent of the Society of Natives, lavding the advancement made by the National Capital over the past century and a quarter and advocating national repre- sentation for the District; a resolution indorsing Judge Gus A. Schuldt for re- election as Police Court magistrate, and a colorful musical program featured the pre-Christmas meeting of the Society of Natives last night at the Washington Club, 1701 K street. Sketching briefly the advancement of ‘Washington since Maryland ratified its cession of the present District of Co- lumbia to the Federal Government, 138 years ago, and pointing out the growth in population from 3,000 then to almost 600,000 now, with a prospective census of 1,000,000 by 1950. Mr. Emery stressed that of all the political rights or duties inherent to a free people that of en- franchisement and representation in national assembly is the most sacred, comprehensive and fundamental. | “A century and a half back,” he said, “‘our forefathers protested against taxa- tion without representation. Today we have the same issue here, the fight ulti- mately to be crowned with success, for national representation for the District of Columbia.” Exceeds Five States. Washington exceeds in population five States in the Union—namely, Vermont, Utah, New Hampshire, Delaware and Nevada—all of which have representa+ tion in both houses of Congress, Mr. Emery continued, while millions of dol- lars of taxes from local citizens are levied, collected and expended without a scintilla of representation or even a “hummingbird’s” voice in the halls of the Congress that levies and disburses these funds in the District of Columbia. Within the past fortnight,- he add, Senator Capper, chairman of the Senate District committee, has expressed the hope the present Congress may accord full justice to the District with respect to national representation. ““The distinguished leader of this civic movement,” said Mr. Emery, “backed by the pronounced support of organized Washington, is a member of this so- ciety, the foremost native Washing- tonian of his age—Theodore W. Noyes." In indorsing Judge Schuldt for re-| election to the bench i Police Court the assoclation commended him for his splendid record. case.

The staid halls of the Franklin Ad- ministration Building resounded yester- day with the tunes of traditional Christmas carols when 50 boy and girl pupils of the Columbia Junior High School serenaded the school system offi- cers in their annual Yuletide greeting. Accompanied by Miss Hannah Bon- nell, teacher of music at Columbia, the children walked slowly through the corridors on the three floors of the building, halting momentarily at the door of the office of Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, and other heads of the school system. It was the fifth year that Columbia pupils had sere- naded the administrators, and following their visit they went to the McKinley High School Building and the Langley Junior High School Buildings, where they extended a similar greeting to the pupils and faculties. The custom of serenading the school officers was instituted by the late Miss Alice Deal, then principal of Columbia.
