Discrimination Against GEORGETOWN

Discrimination Against Georgetown.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In The Stars report of the last hearing
OF the Senate committee relative to Cheaper
gas MI Winship Of the Georgetown Gas
Light Company makes the statement that
the citizens of Georgetown are perfectly
satisi1ed, both with the price and quality
or the gas furnished by his company. OF the
quality we will say nothing But it is anus
lfs 10 near man in his sober senses make
the statement. That We of Georgetown are
perfectly satisfied to pay $1.75 per 600 feet
Tor gas, while our neighbors on the east side
OF ROCK creek are required to pay but $1.5
Tor practically the same gas 1t is most too
rlulculously absurd to consider at ALL and
yet IL should not go unchallenged. AS to his
statement relative to cost of the manufac-
lure OF the gas am not prepared to dispute
put that IL costs more to produce gas in
Georgetown than in Washington does seem
unreasonable. Granted their volume of bust
ness is less. But we are not responsible
LOT mat The green grocer at the corner is
not permitted to charge more for his wares
than the great stores on the main streets Of
city, simply because his business is less
pretentious. However, / take issue chiefly
on the first statement quoted and venture
10 assert that l voice the sense of the
Georgetown citizens when enter protest
against there being any concessions made
10 the Georgetown company to their disad-
vantage over the Washington citizen and

against any discrimina ting legislation.

The announcement that the Military In

association says:
"A most generous responseshas come from

european critics have often noted the
absence in the states of such events as
those of Aldershot, England, and the an
haai maneuVers Of the French and German
armies,and In a measure base their calcula-
fact.
nile 1t is true that the profession of
arms has not the significance 1t has in
other countries, it cannot be denied that
tne United States stands today as one of
the leading nations of the earth in a mill
tary sense This could not be demonstrated
by our small standing army or our coast
loftlllcatlons. but if one were to call the
muster roll of the citizen soldiery and the
military clubs, he would find, could all the
members answer to the call. and pass in
review That we could turn out one of the

William Colbert, alias johnson, an elderly
colored man, was sentenced Saturday by
Judge Cole to five years in the Albany peni-
tertiary at hard labor for violating the pen
sion laws.
The man claimed to have served during
the war as Johnson, and filed an application
for pension. 1t was shown during the
trial several days ago that the claim was a
false one, and he was promptly convicted.
1t was also developed during the trial that
the man served a term in the penitentiary
several years ago for similar offense.
Judge Cole, therefore, imposed the maxi
mum penalty.

More About Debtor Clerks

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Referring 10 the several notices in your
paper last week as to government employees
who do not pay their honest debts, cannot
the hoard of trade take the matter up and
use any influence it can command to try
to persuade members on the appropria-
ton committees of both houses of Congress
to insert a clause in the several bills where
money is paid out here that will protect us ?
If influence could be brought about right
away, while the legislative, naval and Dis
trict of Columbia bills are not as yet laws
maybe some of us may be saved from MAX
