ANACOsTIA WITHOUT WATER.
The Supply Cut OFF by the Freezing of the
Main.

Providence has outdone the Commissioners,
and today Anacostia, instead of suffering from
a scarcity of liquor, is almost in despair for
water. The cry all over that section is, Water,
water; give us waterr' The reason for all
this clamor is that the big water main
which runs across the Anacostia bridge and
supplies Anacostia with the pure Potomac va
riety is frozen up and the water supply prac-
tically shut off. When Capt Lusk arrived
at the District building this morning
the telephone had been ringing necessarily
for three hours The residents Of Anacostia
wanted the water prophet" to come at
once and relieve them. The captain lost no
time In getting ready and soon he was
speeding toward the Eastern branch Efforts
were made to thaw out the big unprotected pipe
and Capt. Lusk decided that if that could not
be done he would put in a temporary main at
once. II a fire should break out in that section
the fire department would be practically help
