WASHINGTON - WASHINGTON, 1Ly C., SUND he Sundiy Star AY MORNING, JULY GENERAL NEWS 20, 1930. TENTATIVE SITE PICKED FORWALLED PRISON AT LORTON Committee to Submit Loca- tion at Welfare Board Meeting in Near Future. WILL PROVIDE PLACE FOR D. C. LONG-TERMERS $150,000 in Current Appropria- tion for Beginning of Con- struction. Fust definite steps toward the estab- Bshment of a walled-in prison at Lor- ton, Va., for incarceration of the Dis- trict's long-term prisoners, were taken yesterday by the committee on penal institutions of the Board of Public Welfare when it tentatively selected a site for the new institution. The committee, composed of Judge Michael Doyle, John Joy Edson, R. W. McReynolds and George S. Wilson, di- rector of public welfare. decided on the site after inspecting the grounds at Lorton. where the District’s reforma- | tory is now located. The board will be ‘asked to approve the location at a | special meeting to be held in the near future. $150,000 to Start Work. The current District appropriation act carries $150.000 to begin construc- tion of the new prison, but fixes no | limit on jts total cost. The initial | unit of the building probably will be | & dormitory or cell block, to which will be added later a dining room and ! kitchen. Pending the addition of the dining room and kitchen the prisoners would be fed in the dining room of the reformatory. Erection of the new prison will make | 1t possible for the District to take care | of all classes of prisoners. Long-term | prisoners are now sent to the Federal | penitentiaries at Leavenworth and At- lanta. At present there are about 400 | District prisoners in ‘these two insti- tutions. A prison of the type to be erected was recommended last year by the commitiee of the House which investi~ gated Federal prisons. In its report the committee said, “the District of | Columbia should be required to provide | adequate facilities to take care of all classes of its prisoners.” Other Buildings Not Walled. No other building, either at Lorton or Occoquan, where the work house is located, is surrounded by walls, the prisoners there having more liberties than at any other penal institution. | The system of detention at Lorton and | Occoquan is unique in this respect, and | has been commended by authorities on penal institutions in all sections of the | country who have made special trips to Washington to observe conditions | &t the work house and reformatory. Capt. M. M. Barnard, superintendent of penal institutions of the District, claims that despite the liberties granted | prisoners at Occoquan and Lorton the | percentage of escapes is smaller than | at other penal institutions surrounded | by high walls. A wall will be built around the new prison, however, be- cause it will house dangerous and long- term prisoners, some of whom are now serving life sentences.

Murphy, after performing the operation, spent the first night | watching over the girl. { In the morning she awoke and asked for her family. And with their ar- rival her strength se>med to double.

Two pints of blocd were t-ken from the father and injected into her veins. . The next day the girl showed signs of improvement. Dociors expressed surprise that a patient so seriously in- Jured should rally so rapidly. | Yesterday the girl was in the best | of spirits. She smiled wanly when | doctors told her to “look pretty for the news photographers.” | Grimace Conquered by Pluck.

It was made known yesterday also | | that when the raiding squads searched the Perry Co. offices on the fifth floor of the Washington Building, they found that the main records of the concern had been destroyed before their ar- rival.

UPALASKAN RNER Dr. Hrdlicka Seeks Artifacts Left by Indians of 20,000 Years ago. ETHNOLOGY ASSISTANT EXCAVATING ON ISLAND Henry Collins Approaches Hrdlicka Problem From Opposite End in Ivory Culture Studies. Beeking the route of human migration into the North American continent, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of physical an- thropology at the National Museum, now is pushing his way up the practically unexplored Kuskokwim River in Alaska, according to letters received by muse- um associates. ‘The Kuskokwim runs practically par- allel to the Yukon along nearly half its course, but ends in the foothills of Mount McKinley. At its headquarters are the mysterious “far-away people” of early Russian explorers, believed to be a small Indian tribe which may have entirely disappeared. Dr. Hrdlicka in three other expedi- tions has explored the banks of the Yukon from mouth to source in search of skeletal remains and artifacts, in the belief that this was the natural path southward of the “ivory age’ people who crossed Bering Strait from Kame chatka from 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, gradually worked their way west and south, and became the ancestors of the Eskimos and the Indians. Many Migrations Confuse Trail. His explorations have tended to con- firm this view, since physical measure= { ments of both races and observations of their culture show that they shade into each other. The Yukon trail the- ory has not proved »ntirely satisfactory, artly because wave after wave of mi- ation have passed this way, each cov= ering up the records of the one pre= vious. An alternate route was along the Kuskokwim, Alaska’s second largest river, which is difficult of access, runs through much unexplored territory and has never been studied by archeologists. Dr. Hrdlicka was able to reach the Kus- kokwim by portage about 100 miles from the Yukon. As he goes up ihe river, the Wash- ington scientist is attracting the Indi- ans and Eskimos in large numbers by holding free medical clinics. They are combing the surrounding country for buried artifacts for him. He finds him- self still.in the land of the “painted graveyards,” where the dead are placed 1n elaborately painted wooded boxes and left above ground. The native population along this route was almost depopulated by the 1918 infiuenga epidemic. The Indians belong to the Stkmiut and Kuskwogamiut tribes, both little known to ethnologists. There may be other surviving people in the vast interior watered by the Kus- kokwim which will yield valuable infor- mation on the Indian-Eskimo transition. Ivory Culture Hghly Developed. Meanwhile, Henry B. Collins, assistant curator of ethnology at the Museum, is making another effort to solve the mys= tery of the highly developed ivory cul- ture found on St. Lawrence Island, where he already has excavated for two Summers. On his way there, Mr. Col~ lins writes, he stopped at one of the Aleutian islands and dug up 40 human skeletons, which will be brought to Washington. The excavation work is especially difficult, because of the short season in which it is possible to dig and because of the difficulties of transpor- tation. Hundreds of miles apart, both Dr. Hrdlicka and Mr. Collins are working on two ends of the same puzzle. The ivory carvers were very ancient and ap- parently had reached a high degree of artistic and mechanical development, bu’ aside from the St. Lawrence Island graves very few of their artifacts have been recovered. Stirling Leaves for West. Mathew W. Stirling, chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology, left Washington this week for an archeo= logical reconnoisance in Texas and Ne- vada. He hopes to locate old village sites for future excavation. Both States have remained practically untouched by scientists, but some sensational accounts of buried cultures have been received from local archeologists. Frank H. Roberts, jr., of the Bureau of Ethnology, according to reports he has sent here. has started excavations of a basketmaker village in New Mexico which is expected to lllustrate the rural life of these people. Sites excavated hitherto have been those of large set; ments, analogous to cities, where Indians had come together for prc3 tion. They were essentlally an agrici tural people and probably develo) most of their cultures in very smi, framing villages. J. N. B. Hewitt is making anot! study this Summer on the 56,000-a reservation of the Six Nations near Brantford, Canada, where he is sepe- cially interested in collecting texts in Onondago, Mohawk and Cayuga dia- lects concerning the sixteenth century “league of nations” of the Iroquois, which was, according to some authori= ties, the origin of the American Cons stitution. There were no written records, so0 that Mr. Hewitt must obtain every- thing from the few old men and women who still remember the tribal histories. A. B.
