AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT.
The Use of Levers to Open Fire
Hydrants Forbidden.

The Employees of Contractors for
SprinIsIing streets Injure the
PIuEx-High Water Service in An
acostin-Disorder in Clicks Alley
w. a Mcfarland, Superintendent Of the
Water Department recently called the at
tention of the Commissioners to an abuse
of the fire hydrants by the employees OF
the contractor for sprinkling streets. Mr.
Mcfarland submitted reports from his
superintendent of construction, who stated
that he saw the drivers Of the sprinklins
carts operating the valves of the ny
drants with an iron bar.
In calling the matter to the attention of
the Commissioners Mr. Mcfarland sub
mitted statement from the contractors.
and from several inspectors of the depart
ment The former stated that the valves
could not be worked without the aid of
the iron bar in question, and the inspec-
tors stated that in their visits to the
plugs in all parts Of the city they invar-
iably worked them 10y hand. Mr.. McFdr-
land stated that the fiushers of the de-
partmcnt went to all plugs and found no
difficulty in operating them by hand. Mr.
Mcfarland recommended that the drivers
of the sprinkling carts be absolutely Tor
hidden to use levers in working the plugs
and that the Police Department be re
quested 10 cooperate with the Water De
parIment in enforcing the prohibition
The safety of the fire hydrant service,
remarked Mr.. Mcfarland, lis of far too
much importance to be subordindted to
the convenience of a watering cart
driver"
Capt. Chester Harding, assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner in forwarding
the papers in the case, stated that the use
Of levers as described was unnecessary,
and that he concurred in the recomm enda-
ton OF the Superintendent, Mr.. McFar-
land But in order to prev ent all possible
Injustice to the contractors, Captain
Harding suggested that they be informed
that their proper course will be to report
to the Superintendent of the Water De
partment the location of any hydrant they
find it impossible to operate by hand.
The Engineer COMMISSIONS in placing
the matter before his associates urged
that the recommendations of his sub
ordinatcs be concurred in and that the
contractors be informed that further Of
Tending Will not only make them liable
TO arrest and fine in the Police Court but
that il Will entail the expense OF man
from the Water Department to turn on
the water for them. COMMISSIONER Beach
also suggested that the Street Cleaning
Department be requested to give all as
sistance in its power to the Water De
partment.

hearing to representatives of the German
Orphan Asylum and of the Rupert Home,
near Auacostia, who appeared to discuss
the feasibility of increasing the capacity
of the Anacostia Pumping Station so as
to furnish water to the institutions
named The parties present were Simon
Wolf, C A Didden, W. f. GUIDE and
William f. Myers
Simon Wolf presented the case for the
two institutions, stating, in substance,
that they are now without water except
in the lower stories OF the orphan asylum.
He said that it would be a matter Of
great convenience If the water privilege
could be afforded as requested. Mr..
Wolf said that these two institutions were
a good deal hampered in their work be
cause OF the necessity of pumping 1t to
the second stories.
William A Mcfarland, Superintendent
Of the Water Department, was present
and stated to the Board that there We're
difficulties in the way of doing what
was asked. which made it practically i'm
possible He stated that the elevation
above tide of the German Orphan Asylum
is 1872 feet. The Anacostia pumping sta
ton. he said, is now delivering water at
an elevation Of 100 feet above tide. He
told the Commissioners lnat 10 increase
the pressure sufficient to carry the water
into the second story of the orphan asy-
lum would require an additional thirty
five pounds.
Mr. Mcfarland called the attention of
those present to the effect Of such pres
sure upon the pipes in the lower parts Of
Anacostia. He said that even now there
are many complaints of excessive pres
sure in many of these pipes. Should the
thirty-fve pounds be added, Mr. Nc
Farland expressed the belief that it would
be attended by disastrous effects upon
the piping along the river and in the
lower parts of the suburb Mr.. McFar-
land stated that il would be impossible
TO carry out the wishes Of the repre-
sentatives Of the institutions before the
installation Of a new pumping station TO
supply the region around GaOd Hope and
Congress Heights. The cost Of such an
Improvement would be great, and Nr.
Mcfarland admitted that 1t might be
several years before it was realized,
though there is already much call for
Potomac water at Good Hope.
Mr.. Mcfarland stated that the plan
pursued at the German Orphan Asylum
is the best under the circumstances.
There he explained. the lower parts Of
the building are furnished from the
pumping station. and tank in the yard
is filled in the same way. From this
water is pumped to the upper fixtures by
a pump operated by the authorities of the
institution.

CZOLGOSZ TALKS.

superintendent Collins spent several
hours with the assassin in an endcavor
10 ascertain IL Czolgosz's shooting OF
the president was the result of a plot
laid by n band Of anarchists who had
chosen Czolgosz as the instrument to
execute the plot. Superintendent Col
Inns told Czolgosz that he must fully
realize that he had to die and said that
he might be able TO help himself should
Czolgosz desire to avail himself of the
opportunity TO turn states evidence, as
1t were, in case he had acted as the re-
suit of a conspiracy of anarchists in
killing the president.

This was the substance OF Czolgosz's
replies TO Superintendent Collins re-
peated efforts TO have him unbosom
himself. Czolgosz refused To admit any
mountaineering with prominent an
archists and the only time that he
apparently showed any interest in his
talk with the superintendent was when
the latter remarked:

some money once"
"Did she say that?' said Czolgosz.

"Well, she never did" replied Czol.

Armstrong and OrIIng system Com
pared with Marconrs.
The greatest interest has been awak-
ened by the results Of the experiments
of the Armstrong and Orling system
for the wireless transmission of elec-
trical energy, says the London CORE
spondent of the New York Evening
Post. The Marconi system works
through the air. The English inventors
work through the ground. A CORE
spondent of the Manchester Guardian
who was present at recent experiments
says that he went TO small wooden
house where a spike bearing the tele-
phoning apparatus was driven into the
ground. In a field 400 yards away was
similar apparatus unconnected. He
pressed the button four times, and
| there were sounded four taps as an an
swer. He pressed the button seven
| times, and seven taps were sounded.
Through the same apparatus he heard
the human voice, but the apparatus
| certainly was not working well, the
ground being sodden with rain, but aft
er preliminary and unintelligible NUT
tering and buzzlng came the words, re-
peatod again and again. "Is it all
rightT Mr.. Armstrong has a plan for
varying the pitch or tone in which the
radiations are sent There are 10000
pitches or tones. Different tones pass
harmlessly by one another. Thus the
chances of one tone meeting or nulllfy
ing another tone are 10000 to /. Other
experiments gave wireless control TO
torpedoes from land 500 yards away A
new development of this invention
might render obsolete the finest FORTH
cations, and the new submarines, need
ing no crew, would be converted into
torpedoes. Again Mr.. Armstrong press
es a button in the house. and an un.
connected lamp two miles and n half
away instantly lights. When he press
es the button again, the light is eXtln-
guished. Unlike Tesla's experiments

with very low voltage.
