gineers. this location has the advantage
that the dlution of the sewage will be
comparatively rapid and thorough at all
stages of the river and tide, causing 1t,
from a sanitary point of view, to be the
best place that can be selected for a sew
age outlet
"All discharge by this outlet will first be
passed through screens and pumps at the
pumping station in this city, where there is
also a large standardization basin for the
removal of solid materials.
1.-The discharge Is so designed that dilu-
ton will begin at the bottom of the river,
and, as stated, will be rapid and thorough.
With the arrangements for handling this
sewage, all of which will be located within
the city of Washington, the conditions
which will prevail in the vicinity of this
outlet, from sanitary point of view,
should not materially differ from the exist
ing conditions of today. So far as the city
of Alexandria, located about two miles far
Their downstream, is concerned, 1t Is be-
lieved. no apprehension whatever need be
felt, for the effect upon the river at that
city would be quite inappreciable.
ION the contrary. as the general santa
ton of the river in this regard is dependent
upon the dilution of the sewage being uni
formly rapid and thorough this construc-
ton should result in betterment in river
conditions.
ITO extend this outfall to a point below
Alexandria, where the situation would be
as favorable for that city as at the pres
ent outlet, would require more than five
miles of construction, reaching into the
state of Maryland and an additional pump
ing station, costing about $1.000,000 with
practically no resulting benefits to that
city"

NO DANGER INCURRED
ASSURANCE THAT POTOMAC WILL
NOT BE CONTAMINATED.
According to an Official Report Made
to the District Com
missioners.

The citizens of Alexandria need have no
apprehension of any contamination of the
waters of the Potomac river from the DIS
charge of sewage from the outlet OF the
outfall sewer, which it is planned viii be
al a point above the naval magazine on
the Potomac. This assurance of an alb
sencc of contamination from the Washing
ton sewage discharged into the river is con-
tanned in a statement made by Acting
Superintendent of Sewers Phillips, relative
10 protests received by the Commissioners
from officials of Alexandria against permit
ting the sewer to empty into the river at
point above the city. The protests of Mayor
Fred ]. Paf and City Attorney G.. L.
BCothe were forwarded 10 the Commission
ors by Representative Rixey of Virginia.
In their protests to Mr.. Rixey the Off
Gals of Alexandria say, among other
things, that IL would be dangerous 10 the
health of the residents of Alexandria to
have an enormous amount of sewage dis
charged into the river just north of the
city. They ask that Mr.. Rixey use every
effort to have the outlet of the sewer to
Gated threo miles below Jones Point, the
southern extremity OF Alexandria.
Acting Supcrtnte Phillips of the

ENTERS A PROTEST
MR.. EWIN OBJECTS TO OPEN BARS
MARCH 5.

The proposition to permit the bar rooms
of the city to remain open Sunday, March
5, the day following the Inauguration, has
brought forth a vigorous protest from
James L. Ewin president of the Anti-Saloon
League. The protest was presented to Com
missioner Macfarland this morning. Mr.
Ewin also asked the Commissioners for a
hearing on this subject, and Commissioner
Macfarland stated that this will be granted.
Mr.. mcfarland declared that he is op-
posed to the opening of the bar rooms of
Washington Sunday, and that he will not
consent to such a proposition. He believes
it might be advisable to have the barber
shops opened until II o'clock, but he con-
siders that there is no necessity Tor open
ing the saloons at all that day.
The protest of President Ewin, of the
Anti-Saloon League, is in part as follows:
ION behalf of more than 100 churches.
temperance societies and other Gsganiza-
lions within the District federateo in our
league, and of their members and people
of like mind, who are believed constitute a
large majority of the residents of the Dis
trict, we earnestly invoke your aid in pre-
venting the outrageous action so threat
ened.
ITO thus desecrate the Christian Sabbath;
to subject property owners, residents and
visitors to unnecessarily increased risk and
right to the peaceful enjoyment of the day,
for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of few liquor
men and the qualification of few or many
drinking among our visitors, would
disgrace all who are by action or inactlon
responsible for the backward STEP.

Probably the strongest evidence that be Of

AFTER TIE CROOKS
DETECTIVES FROM OTHER CITIES
TO AID LOCAL FORCE.

81. Rodgers veteran New York detective,
was an early caller at police headquarters
this morning. He did not come as one of
the New York contingent Of sleuths, but
merely to make friendly call. 1t is his
intention to remain here until the conclu-
sion of the inaugural ceremonies, and
everybody who knows him understands
that he. will not miss an opportunity to as
sst Major Sylvester in his efforts to get
crooks behind the bars.
While some few police officials have al
ready reached Washington, the fifty or
more detectives who are to do regular duty
in connection with Captain Boardmans de-
tectives will not begin to arrive until to-
morrow. 1t is expected that about fifteen
of them will be on hand tomorrow, and
that the others will come along from then
until Friday night, when all will be on
duty. Captain Boardman will tomorrow
make special details at the railroad sta
tions and other points where they will be
most needed.
The large gathering, it is believed, will
naturally attract all classes of thieves,
from the man who induces people to believe
he has gold bricks to the petty thief who
will pick up chicken or loaf of bread in
a store. Particular attention will be paid
to street cars and hotels, where, 1t is eX-
pected. the crowds will be thickest, and
people who are found acting suspiciously
Marshal Farnan, chief of the Baltimore
police department, and Captain Humphrey,
chief of detectives, are exerting themselves
to protect the people of their city from the
work of thieves who may stop there on
their way here. Four of the detectives
connected with the Baltimore department
will come to assist in the work here. They
are Thomas ODonnell, Joseph Coughlin,
Herman Pohler and George Armstrong.
They will be here each day during the
time the city is filled with guests, probably
returning home on the late train at night.
Grant A. Ogline, who has charge of the
Baltimore and Ohio detective service, has
already reached the city, and will remain
here until most of the inaugural visitors
have departed for their homes. He will
have large force of men on duty, and they
will conflne their work to the railroad de-
pot and to looking after the patrons of
the road. Chief Ogline has Travelled ex,
tensively in the work of the company and
has made a study of professional crooks.
He has an efficient force of men under him,
and Major Sylvester believes they will be
of great assistance to the members of his
department.

MIGHT Be WORSE
Trade Reports Are Some
what Conflicting.
Dun and Company Hazard the Asser-
ton That Taken Altogether There
is Some Improvement in
Business.
(By the Associated Press )

New York, March 3.-R. G.. Dun &,
Company's weekly review of trade will
say tomorrow:
Trade reports are still somewhat
conflicting, but on the whole improve
ment has followed more settled
weather, and the outlook is considered
favorable even in sections where cur
rent business is irregular. Mercantile
collections are not as prompt at the
East as elsewhere, but the liabilities
of commercial failures in February
were much smaller than q year ago.
Traffic blockades have been lifted re-
storing q normal distribution of mer-
chandise. and railway earnings In Feb
ruary were only 81 per cent. smaller
than last year, despite the severe
weather at the start. Commercial
failures this week are 245 against 236
the corresponding week last year.
