W. 1 1 ap27-tf JUDSON BRINGS BACK IDEAS HAS LOOKED OVER SCHOOLS AND PRISONS IN THE WEST. Choice of Workhouse and Reforma tory Sites Awaits Report on Soils From Experts. Engineer Commissioner "William V. Jud son returned to Washington this morning. In his trip through the middle west he inspected penal institutions and school buildings to gather ideas for betterment I of the classroom structures in Washing ton and for the new reformatory and workhouse to be erected for the District of Columbia. School buildings in Chit-ago and Indian apolis which he visited, he said, contrast two policies In construction. In the Windy city li? finds school buildings are made lireproof. In the Indiana capital f they are not fireproof, but have numer ous exits, so children can be marched out during a fire drill in 50 seconds. With the same amount of money, he estimates, twice as many buildings of the Indian apolis type can be built as of the Chi cago type. Washington school building." he said, are a compromise between the two ex tremes. While the buildings erected here in recept years are no^ fireproof, they have fireproof stairways, are fireproof around boilers and other places where a I fire would likely be started, and some of j them have fireproof corridors. During his trip Maj. Judson also look ed at the reformatory at Mansfield. Ohio, the house of correction and the John Worthy School in Chicago, and the penal institutions of Indianapolis. Sites for neither of the two new penal establishments for the District have been selected, said Maj. Judson. The Commis sioners are awaiting a report from the Department of Agriculture regarding the soil of locations favorably thought of. , The report is expected within a few days and it is thought a choice will imme diately follow. The inspection of the Maryland sites offered the Commissioners will probably take place this week. Following the visit to the Virginia sites several davs ago, it was practically decided that one of two sites on the Potomac river front, near Oc-coquan. in Virginia, will be chosen for the workhouse, and that a tract of land hi Maryland will be pickad for the re formatory site.

Accused of Xilling Mrs. Lucretia Corliss, Whom He Blamed for Alienating Wife's Affections. John P. Trilling was placed on trial this morning in Criminal Court No. 1 before Justice Gould to answer an indict ment of first degree murder, in connec tion with the killing of Mrs. Lucretia Corliss January 20 last at 612 L street southwest. The victim was the grand mother of Trilling's wife and it is said he blamed her for keeping his wife from him. Insanity May Be Pleaded. From the questions propounded to the prospective jurors by Attorneys Thomas C. Taylor and Mark Stearman, for the defense, it is regarded as probable that a plea of insanity will be interposed to save the life of the prisoner. During the examination of the talesmen Trilling sat unmoved, looking directly before him as though oblivious of his surroundings. He did not speak a. word to his coun sel during the hour's session of the court before the panel of the jurors was ex hausted. When the last talesman had been ex amined Justice Gould' took an adjourn ment until tomorrow. He ordered a spe cial venire of jurors to be summoned for ^tomorrow. Thrilling's Alleged Crime. The crime for which Trilling Is being tried occurred at the home of the elderly Mrs. Corliss, where Trilling's wife had been living after separating from him. Trilling, it is alleged, accused the grand mother of hiding his wife from him, and in a rage followed her Into the yard, whither she had tied, and hacked her with an ax. The man then went upstairs in the house and fell asleep. Later he awoke and proceeded to the home of a relative in Georgetown, where he was arrested. Naxt Meeting of U. C. T. at Tampa. ATHENS, Ga..
