The grand jury was in session today and
several inspectors Of the Post Office Depart
ment and other officials were at the office
Of the United States attorney for the Dis
trfct Of Columbia for two or three hours
From these facts it is assumed that some
progress was made in the matter Of prosecu-
tions in connection with the Post Office De-
partment investigation. although it Is un-
derstoOd that the grand jury did not con-
slider any phase Of the Post Office Depart
ment matter.
The officials at the city hall denied all
knowledge of any prospective additional
arrests in connection with the investga-
ton.
It is recalled that counsel in the Machen

WATERRENT SCHEDULE
Number of Complaints Re-
ceived by Commissioners
BEING CONSIDERED
SUGGESTION FOR THE INSTALLA-
TON OF METERS.
Alleged Excessive Charge Against
Designated Premises in Georgetown
General Protest Entered.

The Commissioners have been considering
today a number of complaints against the
schedule by which water rents are charged
in the District and Col. John Biddle, the
Engineer Commissioner, has stated to his
associates that the only equitable way Of
meeting all cases is through the installation
of meters He adds, however. that these in
struments expensive to put in and to
maintain, and are not desired. The rem
rdy. however. for all complainants he as
serts Is to have meters installed at their
own expense, which they may do at any
time.
The matter has been brought before the
Commissioners especially by Mr.. George w.
King of 1923 32d street Georgetown, treas
Lrer of the First Cooperative Building AS
sociation Mr.. King complained particu-
larly of the alleged excessive charge for
water rent at houses 1923 and 1925 32d
street. He also entered a general protest
against the system of measuring and fixing
water rent charges. 1t was declared that
through the system now in vogue of charg-
ing much per front foot and number of
stories gross injustice was done.
Some dwellings might be only one room
deep, and they would have to pay much
house of the same width and height,
but probably six rooms deep Mr.. King
wrote first to the Commissioners as a board
with reference to the houses specified, and
later addressed communication to Com

Neither to Be Appointed.

Commissioner Macfarland. who has super
vision of the fire department, has presented
the matter to his associates of the District
beard with the following motion, which
will probably be adopted:
Il move that neither John w. Holidge
nor his brother be admitted to any future
examination for applicants to the fire de-
partment AS Congress has not adopted
the recommendation of the Commissioners
to extend the United States civil service
act to the government of the District of
Columbia. the examinations held for the
Commissioners of the District of Column
bia by the United States civil service COM
mission are merely matter of courtesy
and do not bring the applicants under
the United States civil service law. There
fore, prosecution could not be sustained
under the present law in this case, and
the only punishment possible seems to be
to debar these men from employment un-
der the District. That end will be accom-
pished by adopting and recording this
notion

report from Mr.. F. Donnelly, chief clerk of
the department. in which he states that

ment in the department. allowed his brother
to take the mental examination. This was
done without the knowledge and naturally
without the consent of the department, and
Mr.. Donnelly declares was for the purpose.
