Complaints About Potomac Water.
A SCARCITY SINCE THE STREET MAIN WAS
REPAIRKD-THE NEW DAM NEARLY CON-
PLErED-A GRowL FROM RIGGS STREET.
Residents on the higher levels, especially in
that portion of the city supplied by the K street
main, as well as others, complain that since 1t
was repaired they do not get the same supplyof
water with which they were favored before
the accident. Then, they had q fair supply in the
second stories during the day, but now not drop
or pm. Those who have investigated the cause
OF this md several reasons for 1t. One Is, that
the pressure on the cross mains has not been
restored, tnat, in fact, full supply has not
another is that the pressure is lessened
Dy the constant flowing fountains In Iowa circle
and franklin park. A water official, in q con-
yersation with o STAR reporter to-day, said:
larger, than II was before the accident TO the K
street main, for the force of water at the mouth
OF the aQueduct Is certainly greater. The Po-
t0mac Is full Of water. The dam across the river
at the Great Falls is so nearly completed that
there is an Increased supply already flowing
into the aqueduct In the course Of two or three
weeks, when the dam will be finished, the rise
will be at least fifteen inches and that increase
will be found in the receiving reservoir and
ought to be sent into the distributing reservoir
for the benefit OF the CITY,"
"Then Washington ought to derive q partial
benefit from the new system, by the completion
OF the dam, this fall?"
"Yes, sir; If the increase Is intelligently dis
tributed through the mains.''
1t Is believed that the new aQueduct and res
ervotr will be completed within o year, but
since the breaking OF the X street main the
question has been raised as to whether the old
mains in the city that have been laid for q
quarter Of century can stand the increased
pressure from the Soldiers Home reservoir.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR:


1 have lived and paid water taxes on Riggs
street for two years; during that time there has
been no water above the first floor except for an
hour or two just before midnight each day, and
now the supply ON the first floor is scarcely
sufficient to fill the boiler attached to the range
1t is absurd to pretend that there Is not an
abundant supply of water. Why is it with
held? And why should tenants be taxed for
water they cannot get? Bath tubs under the
circumstances, are useless, and water closets
are likely 70 become sources of disease. The
District Commissioners pay no heed whatever
sible that they enjoy the tiendish satisfaction
Of withholding the water supply which they

STUDENTS ART LEAGUE.--A number of ladies
and gentlemen assembled at the residence of
Mr.. Burnett, 1915 / street, yesterday evening,
and took the first steps towards the Organiza-
ton of a students Art League in Washington.
The league is to be conducted on a plan similar
to that which has been SO successful in New
York city. 1t is the opinion of resident artists
that such an association of art students, man.
aged by themselves and for their benefit, should
be in existence here. A second meeting will be
held at the same place on Wednesday evening
next at o clock.

BOLD BURGLARS.

Burglars appear to have been on the war
path night before last. Between 10 and IL
they hooked a pair of pants by means Of a
ten-foot pole out of the bedroom of Sir. T.
J. Brook, South Market street. About the
hour named Mr.. Foster Brook propped up
the window with a stick and went up town.
When he returned he saw board laid
across a mud hole near the window, and
upon Investigation the pants were found to
be gone. Fortunately they contained moth
ing but knife They were found next
morning in Mr.. James Blacks yard on Law
renee avenue, where the thief or thieves did
a better paying business. Mr.. Black and
wife went on. to spend the evening with
friends, locking the doors and barring the
windows, all except one, in room
which the girl and child slept
This window they left raised about
six inches. The thief entered the
room By this window and ransacked the
bureau, taking several trinke,s of no great
value, principal among which was neck
lace, which Mr.. Black says he
is willing to buy of him if he returns it. So
noiselessly did the thief proceed that he did
not wake the girl. From this room he made
his way to another room which young
man rents of Mr.. Black, and there he APP
pears to have liz q lamp, as Mr. and Mrs.
Black returned while he was in
there and saw light The young
man who occupies the room was out
al n party, and Mr. Black WAS surprised that
he had returnen so soon, it being then about
ii O'Clock. When the thief heard them
coming he extinguished the lamp, or to
draw more heavily on classic lingo, he
"doused the glim." The folks We're some
what surprised AZ this, and Mrs. Black
knocked at the door to ascertain if ANYTHING
Was the matter with the young man. but re-
ceived no response Going into the girls
room she saw that some one had been ran
sacking the bureau, and SO informed her
husband, who, suspecting something wrong,
went to the young mans door and knocked,
and again no response came. On going out
side to the window, he found it open, and
showed the thief had been in |
here and made his exit by the window after |
Mr.. and Mrs. Black had gone into the |
house. having previously locked the door.
About this time Capt. Murray Myers came |
llong. the room Was entered, and il was |
ound the young mans revolver and suit |
If clothes were taken. These thieves are |
letting altogether too familiar of late, and |
he marshal and his force should make it |
lot for them As they did last fall, which
night induce them TO give Us rest for
while.
