suit SO far is not known.
The government gunboat General
Pinzon left her anchorage, close to the
other warships, Sunday night and is
now reported to be landing troops ON
the north end of Colon.
There is much commotion in the
streets.
People are seeking refuge on board
the United States guDboats Marietta
and Machias, along the railroad and
on the piers.
Transit across the isthmus has been
stopped. Marines from the United
States battleship Iowa, at Panama,
have been landed to protect the rail
road and are now ON the line where
the fighting is going on.
The commotion in the streets as this
dispatch is sent is ended and calm now
reigns..' There is no jubilation, which

A Basis.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Can you, OF anybody else, tell
me why the City Water Board should
make the rental value OF property the
basis for the fixing OF water rents? IL
appears to me that there is no posi-
BILE relationship between the rept a
man pays and the amount Of water he
or his family may consume. The basis
of payment ought, as a matter OF
right, rest upon consumption, and not
upon rent paid. Take two lessees or
houses. One might pay a high rental
in a fashionable or choice neighbor-
hood, and as a matter of fact, consume
little water, while his friend might
have a comparatively low rental. yet
use twice as much water, yet the high
priced renter would pay more than his
friend, simply because his landlord de-
manded or received more rent, and for
no other reason under the sun. The
basis is all wrong. and does not fit in
with the practice in other cities. There
is no conceivable relationship between
rent and water rates. CONSUMER.

Concerning HouIs of work For Let

H. WASHINGTON, April 13.-The as
sistant attorney general for the Post
Office Department has ruled that the
amendment attached To the current ap-
preparation act limiting the hours OF
work for letter carriers throughout the
country to forty-eight hours a week.
expires with the act itself on June 80
next After hat date, therefore, the
P~ostofice Department will re-enact the
rules of the eight hour law of March.
1888. The amendment at the time Of
its consideration in Congress. was
fought by the Association OF Letter
Carriers, and the department found II
expensive to enforce it. The eight
hour law specifically provides for eight
hours a day. while the amendment al
lowed the averaging of this amount OF
work so as to keep within the limit OF
foFty-eight hours in the six days Of
labor.
The postmaster general has decided

To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir:-The Register states that the
public building officials and attorneys
are to have their annual struggle or
the base ball diamond on Decoration
Day. What | want to know is wheth-
er the old or new officials, who are in
volved in the litigation in the Circuit
Court, are to be recognized on the
public building team. / am with Sher-
if Irwin in his fight against Nick
Young, but If he is allowed TO pick the
officials team, 1 won't %patronize the
game. I'll admit that / am an ncom-
promising Republican, but independent
of that fact, | think this is a very
weighty question, and should be pond
cred carefully. Ii rank outsiders play
on the officials team, and the team
wins. there will be more rag chewing
in the public building than business.
The seasons championship will be un-
settled. and the dispute will never be
ended.

ball VINO won't witness the game il
Ross Chew takes John Shenhase's
place at short. | would advise the
Republican officials TO refuse to drink
between innings, if Bill Paul carries
the water instead of Bill Hornish. 1t
adds insult to injury to propose John
r. Butts as one OF the umpires. And
when it comes to making Sam Boyce
play with the lawyers. with John Con-
if twirling for the officials-well, that
is simply the limit. We don't want

To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir.-While everybody is decrying
the fake hotels, it is strange that some
attention is not devoted to the evil OF
the public ball. Affairs of this nature
have been very numerous since Easter.
Beer and other intoxieants are sold
and drank at these dances, and many a
young girl takes her first downward
step when she attends a public bali.
They are ~patronized by the lower
class of society, in so far as the fe-
males are concerned. and very fire.
quently by young bloods who like 10
be classed with Upper Tendon" and
who would blush with shame il their
parents knew of their attendance.
The question OF wholesome amuse-
ment for working girls is a social pro-
blem, for which l will not undertake TO
suggest a solution. | do know, howey-
er. that the public ball, as conducted in
Wheeling, is not a proper place for a
v~irtuous young girl. There are excep-
tions, as a matter OF course, but they
only prove the rule. Ii parents, who
have been assured that these balls are
"al right" will just drop in upon one
of them after midnight, it is a safe
guess that their daughters will never
attend another with their consent.
By the way, | think the city ordi-
nances require a license tax to be paid
for a public ball. Is this ever en-
forced? If 1t is a dead letter. why?

How to stamp a Letter.

To the Editor OF the Register.
Sir:-Yesterday while writing at the
~postofiee a sudden bumm, bumml
bumm, irritated my pen and ink in a
pitiful manner l looked up into the
innocent and calm countenance OF a
young maiden, who had just put the
stamp on her letter with a dose of ex-
ira energy. With a slight excus she
disappeared. The incident amused me
rather. However, | continued my writ
ing and was deeply engaged with 1t
when another and still more energetic
bumm, bumm, bumm, brought all be-
fore me into a s~piritualistic effort TO
put beside It's gravity.
This time it was a young man with a
parcel who in his turn looked also quite
innocent and contented. having done
his duty with a will. The comical part
OF the situation still possessed me while
walking in that beautiful sunshine that
brightens up even Market street. Some
other thoughts though made me wish
to communicate this little incident
through your valued letter box; not
everybody looks at the bright side OF
things. and a hurried business man. for
instance. might find my little amusing
experience rather bothers3me If not
hurtful. There are different ways to
put on stamps, extra safe and noiseless.
i. e., turn the envelope with the moist
ened stamp on the blotting paper and
press down with your fiat hand or press
a piece OF blotting paper or your hand
kerchief once more over the stamp on
the envelope or parcel. But IL a bar
barrie effort with those thin little
stamps cannot be avoided It might be
better to choose a place for those
bumm, bumms where one does not dts
turb any one, especially not those writ

water Meters Denounced.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Two communications in your
issue of last Sunday upon the water
question interested the undersigned
very much. The one which gave reas-
ons why the landlord should collect
the water rent | approve Of heartily.
1t is the only way in which the water
taxes should be assessed and collected;
but the article advocating the general
use OF water meters, | believe has little
merit for the reason that IL meters
were used in private families the COM
fort and health OF this community
would drop at least 50 per cent. If the
writer would stop to think, / am sure
he would eliminate the measurement
OF water used in the bath tub, the wat
er closet and the kitchen.
Cleanliness is mex to goodness. Be-
sides promoting health it also promotes
comfort. Yet. il meters were used
how many families there are who
would sacrifice cleanliness and health
TO economy. Indeed there are times
when many families would have {.
Now | do not deny that a waste Of
water is wrong and some means ought
to be adopted to prevent il. Meters
might be used to good purpose on ele-
vators. hose plugs and in manufactor-
les, but do not stint the water used in
the kitchen. water closet and bath
Such a step would be a r~etrogression
so unwise as to Justly deserve 20 be
dubbed the height Of folly.

Players.
During the past week quite q number
Of local golfers have taken advantage
of the pleasant weather to their
play. The Woodsdale links ave al
most assumed their old time animation.
Players of both sexes, old and young.
were very numerous. The condition OF
the links is being rapidly improved.
Two men and two rollers have been
busy smoothing both the putting
greens and the fair green. The two
horse roller on the fair green is doing
especially good work.
Mr.. J.. w. Ewing, who is at Old
Point Comfort, Va, took part in a goif
match last Saturday week between
some Princeton boys and members OF
the local club. Mr.. Ewing's play and
form were spoken of as very creditable.
Rev. Mr.. Howard is quite fond OF golf,
and whenever opportunity affords ne
has two or three rounds on either OF the
local links. He is developing remark-
able aptitude for the game. The rever-
end gentleman recommends 1t In glow
ing terms as the most rational outdoor
sport for both sexes and all ages.
The Highland links are being rapidly
put in condition for good play.
One of the coming local goi1ers Is
Dewey Culbertson. He loves the game,
has a fine athletic form. has had some
practice at school, and still in his teens
can drive a long ball and has a good
eve and good Judgment. 1t is reported
that he made the round on the lower
links in 80 one day last week, n0twith-
standing the crude condition of the
greens.
A London dispatch under date OF
April 18th, says:
Jack White to-day defeated Harry
Vardon on the Seaford links, by 6 up

and Vardon's IS. The men contested
for a purse Of ELS. The wind was
blowing a gale over the course Many
spectators watched the match, includ-
ing Speaker Gully of the House of
Commons.
White has been the professional at
Seaford for some years, although he
leaves in October to take charge at
Sunningdale, also an English links. He
is with Braid regarded as an open
champion of the near future. In the
open championship last year the leaders
were: Taylor, 800; Vardon, BIZ; Braid,
1922, and White, 1923. At Sandwich, in
the open championship of 1899, White
was second to Vardon on the last
round, cutting the record to IS. 1t has
stood at 70 since 1894.
