witnesses and administer oaths. deem it proper
to turn the whole matter over to the Post Office
department Accordingly they submit to that
department the afidavits taken. The only
affidavit affecting Mr.. Blair is that of McCon-
vile. which is explicitly contradicted by the
aifidavits of both Mr.. Blair and Mr. Hud,on;
but in the case of Mr.. Hudson all seven aifida-

poses from government employees in the gov

FREE BATHS BADLY NEEDED.
What the District Com rnissioners Say on
the Subject.

A good many people around town are talking
quite vigorously about the pressing local neces-
sity for free baths and are suggesting that the
District Commissioners should take some action
in the matter. A number Of youthful lives have
been lost during the past two or three weeks
because the boys bathed in the Potomac. where
the water was too deep for them Free baths
would. very probably. have saved these boys
lives for a while, at least
Il am very emphatically In favor Of free
baths, said Commissioner Douglass, but the
Commissioners can do nothing officially toward
establishing them because there is no appro-
pridtion available. | speak feelingly on the
subject of free baths, for the city has not sent
a drop OF water INTO the second story OF my
house for fourteen years"
Commissioner Hine said he would be de-
lighted to see Washington provided with suit
ale baths where the puilc could soak itself
free of expense. He hoped the day was not far
distant when there would be no necessity for
the rapldIy-movlng sight so often seen on the
river frout-a fully uni, ormed policeman III hot
pursuit OF small boy, whose Uniform Was hid
den in some lumber pile or III u hole in the bank
of the river.
Major Raymond is an enthusiast on free baths,
but his enthusiasm Ii dampened. 50 to speak,
because he have free bath at home as
often as he wants one. Personally, therefore.
he Is not Interested in the scheme, but he il
unseif-h, and consequently is wiling to see
others enjoy themselves
The Commissioners can be counted on as
solid when 1t comes to asking Congress to aid
In the establishment OF free baths along the
Potomac front
