COMMISSIONERS WANT
H|cH-PRESSURE SYSTEM
Will Ask Congress for $780,.
600 to Install
Service.

Following a report Of Chief Wagner on
high-pressure water system for lighting
fires, tho Commissioners will incorporate
in their estimates this coming year re-
quest for $4,000 for installation Of a
service of this kind.
The chief returned from Syracuse. N.
T.. this morning. He has been in attend
ance at the annual convention OF the In
ternational Association OF Fire Engineers
and was elected a member OF the me-
state vice presidents Of the association.
Chief Wagner's Report.
lining his trip. he says that every fire.
man there favored the high-pressure serv-
Ice. Papers were read by many chiefs
whose cities have been fortunate enough
to obtain this modern fre-nghting asset
The fire chief had his faith In motor
apparatus strengthened.
1.-THE exhibition Of modern hre-hghtinG
apparatus and appliances" he said
(which was said to be the best ever given
at convention OF the association. was OF
great interest. After examination I car
sincerely state that the Washington fire
department. 80 far as its apparatus and
appliances are concerned. is. to say the
least, second to none In this country
with the exception Of motor propelled
apparatus.
Exhibit Of Motor Apparatus.
Among tho exhibits were five motor
propelled fire engines Each OF these
engines gave practical demonstration OIL
It's efficiency IN drawing and displacine
water.
Zone Of them was run continuously TOT
six hours, during which time 1t main
tanned 40 pounds pressure at the pumps
and ninety-six pounds at the hose nozzle
The water was then thrown through
1000 feet of 2ls-inch fire hose. with Us
inch nozzle for two hours. The maxi
mum pressure at the pumps was ~
pounds and the maximum pressure at the
hose nozzle eighty pounds.
.sThe subject Of motor propelled dre ap-
paratus was discussed at length during
the meetinRs. Those chiefs who have had
practical experience with such apparatus
spoke most highly OF its emciency' It's ou.
rability and the great reduction In the
cost OF maintenance as compared Win
horse-drawn apparatus.
The facts set forth above lead me 10
believe that the Commissioners can MAKE
no mistake In renewing to Congress their
recommendation for the installation OF
motor-propelled apparatus In the fire de-
partment OF the District OF Columbia.

Cavalry Team Rejects Camp
Perry Rifle Trophy.
SAYS MARINE CORPS WON
Entitled to Second Place in Match,
Lieut.. Clopton Declares.
BARRED ON A TECHNICALLY
Because Spectator Rooted" for Real
Winners They Were Unfairly
Disqualified, He Says.

The unusual spectacle Of a rifle team
declining a prize which had been award
ed TO II will be presented when the ma
tional board for the promotion OF rine
practice meets in. this city In few weeks
to award the prizes for the national
match. which was shot at Camp Perry,
Ohio, last month. Lieut.. w. II. Clopton.
tr., captain OF the cavalry team. In
communication to- the Judge advocate
general has protested against the de-
cision OF Col. Robert X. Evans, 18th
United States Infantry, the executive Of
ficer of the shoot, in placing the Marine
CORPS team at the bottom of the list and
giving the cavalry team second place.
Lieut.. Clopton, in effect, says: I'VE did
not win the second prize and do not want
IT, The place rightly belongs to the Ma
rine Corps, and should be awarded to
them"
Penalty Regarded as Severe.
Lieut.. Clopton and the members of the
cavalry team will introduce evidence be-
fore the national board to show why the
disqualification OF the Marine Corps team
should be removed and the cavalry team
be given the third instead Of the second
prize. When the incident occurred for
which the Marine Corps team was disquali-
fed Ii stood second in the match. 1t had
passed the cavalry team. and many sup
posed that II would be awarded the Sec
ond place. It Is insisted by some partici-
pants that the penalty imposed on the Ma
rine Corps team was too severe. ana tnat
II would be contrary to the spirit OF the
sport for the cavalry team to accept the
second prize In that position Lieut.. Clop.
ton and his team have the support or
many officers and enlisted men OF the
cavalry arm OF the service.
The action Of Col Evans In deciding
against the Marine Corps team was based
on an alleged technical violation or the
Advised by Spectator.
Lieut.. W. D. Smith. a member Of the
United States Marine Corps team. was
firing in the national team match at the
6OO-yard skirmish stage. He fired two
shots. and had arisen from the prone
position when an officer Of the Marine
Corps, who was watching his shots from
the visitors seats. In rear OF the firing
line, called out words Of advice and en-
couragement In a loud tone OF voice. The
reason Col. Evans gives for his decision
Is that he feared that otherwise he might
be charged with discriminating in favor
Of the service teams On the other hand,
It is insisted that advice from irresponsi-
be considered as coaching when such ad-
vice Is neither asked for nor accepted by
the team in question.
An effort will be made to prevent any
controversy before the national board for
the promotion of rife practice.

PANIC AS AMBULANCE
KILLS WOMAN IN Street
Driver, Roughly Handled by
Crowd After Accident, Is
Rescued by Police. |

CLEVELAND, Ohio. September &
While on its way to a man fatally IN
jured In an automobile accident. an am
bulance dashed into a crowd awaiting
cars at the rush hour In the public square
tonight. killing one person, fnJuring an
other and causing a panic. This occurred
shortly after the ambulance driver had at
great risk stopped a runaway, saving
another crowd from certain injury
The ambulance driven by Charles Car
man, was called TO make a quick run for
]. HAYES. who had been struck by an
automobile at Canal and West Sd street.
AS the driver guided his dashing white
horse toward the crowd in the square he
discovered that his gong was out OF or
der Leaning far over his horses back
he shouted q warning and endeavored To
guide the animal through the crowd be-
tween the cars.
Ferdinand Schegel, seventy-two years
of age. and his wife. Sophia. sixty-fve
years old, were directly I'm the path or
the ambulance and failed 20 hear the
warning. The man was thrown down
and knocked out OF the path OF the We
hicle. but his wife was dragged a con-
siderable distance before the ambulance
could be stopped. She was picked up
dying and, with her husband. placed In
another ambulance and hurried to hos

Women Become Hysterical.
Several women. fearing that friends o.
relatives had been crushed by the am
bulance or trampIed in the rush. became
hystericsi. and one woman collapsed.
fearing that II was her father that had
been killed She was revived and taken to
the hospital. where she learned that her
fear was unfounded.
Before Garman could leave the seat OF
his ambulance he was threatened and
roughly handled by excited members Of
the crowd. The police came to his as
sistance and he continued on his run.
AS he brought Halves to the hospital the
latter died. When Garman learned Of
the death OF Mrs. schlagel he burst into
tears. He was placed under arrest by
the police, but released In short time.
Earlier in the day Garman had dis.
tinguiehed himself by leaping from the
seat of his ambulance In returning from
q run and stopping a runaway on Euclid
avenue that threatened death and injury
to many people.

DARKNESS
SOURCE OF COMPLAINTS
Taxpayers, United and Indi-
viduaI, DeIuge Commission
ers With Protests.

Taxpayers along the roads which have
been left dark by the recent order OF the
Commissioners which extinguished 4SI
lights are framing their facts and argu-
ments for presentation to the Commits
sioners on the morning OF September y.
when the hearing on the subject will be
granted.
Protests are being received at the Dis
trict building in great quantities. Nearly
every owner OF a bit OF property on any
road affected wants to have something to
say on the subject.
What She Gets for Her Money.
One Of the principal protesting taxpay-
ers is a woman who pays 500 year In
taxes. and who claims that all she ever
received for II was the lights along one
of the roads now darkened.
Occasionally q mounted policeman
would ride along the road. I would see
him for about five minutes In every twen-
ty-four hours.
II thought the lights a small enough
service for my 500. Now l get only the
FIVE minutes Of police patrol
One of the arguments to be presented
by the southeast citizens 10 that. while
the Commissioners have taken away lights
from roads which the citizens OF the
ne1gnDOrnOOu Clalm are not 80 uHuScu as
the Commissioners believe. the lights
along the Giesboro road leading to the
Districts Home for the Aged and Infirm
have been left. It will be argued that
these lights are not nearly so necessary to
the general public as some OF those taken
away.
Organizing Army Of Protest.
MANY officers Of citizens associations
and many citizens have asked me how
trict Commissioners their objections to
putting out light said w. w. Price.

BUENOS AIRES GROWTH
MANY LARGE OFFICE BUILD
MGS RECENTLY ERECTED,
Number Of Houses insufficient to Ac.
commodate the Rapidly Increas-
ing Population.

Consul General r. NJ. Bartleman of
Buenos Aires, Argentina. in a recent re-
port. says:
"As nearly 30 per cent of the popula-
ton Of Argentina live in Incorporated
places Of over $4,000 Inhabitants. and as
fully 20 per cent Of them live within a
twentymile radius Of the federal capt.
tai. Buenos Aires. which is to a greater
extent than any other capital In the
world the concentrated center Of COM
merce. industries, manufactures, popula-
ton and wealth OF the entire country,
some account Of the growth of this. the
fourth city in the two Americas. during
the year 1909 may be OF interest.
However. 1t should never be forgotten
that Buenos Aires Is not the Argentine
republic, and that no one can have a
true idea Of that republic without a
close knowledge Of all the more impor-
tant twenty-four provinces and terrific
ries. While only 12397 buildings were
against l2.542 In 1908 and 13,14s in 1907,
many of them were very large, modern
ONCE buildings built Of structural steel
Of q type utterly unknown four years
ago.
Skyscrapers Transform City.
'The largest hotel and the largest Of
fee building In South America were COM
pleted In Buenos Aires in 1909, both built
by architects and with materials from
the United States. Buenos Aires is be-
ing transformed by the new skyscrapers
and the large, modern apartment houses
built in the semi-French style. 1t is said
that six years ago steam heat was al
most unknown in Buenos Aires, where
the winter season, though short, can
be cold and damp. while today every new
apartment house has a good system OF
steam heating. The old one-story houses
are rapidly giving way to more modern
structures. There are not enough houses
to accommodate the population Of q city
which gains some 10000 Inhabitants
year. forming an additional reason for
the constantly increasing cost Of living.
"Of the many municipal improvements
carried out or begun In 1909 under the
supervision Of NJ. Bouvard. the eminent
French landscape gardener, the new
Congress Park will provide a breathing
space the size Of the White House
grounds In Washington In the heart of
the city for all time. and the broad new
streets in the suburbs will greatly help
future trafic."

Must State Party Amliation.

While 1t is important for voters to reg
lister and vote in the congressional cleo
ton, those who are interested in the mu-
nicipal primaries next spring should also
register, for the primaries will be con-
Quoted under the new registration. There
will be no other registration prior to the
primaries. which will be held in April. In
order to vote in these primaries 1t will
also be necessary for the voters to state
their party afflliation-
The number Of voters who decline to
state their party afflliation Is gradually
becoming smaller. When the law first
went into effect a large number refused
to do so, believing that IL their political
affiliation were known II might injure
their business. The politicians say that
experience has proved that no one bothers
about the politics of any man when he
enters into business relations with him.
1t Is expected that there will be wide
spread interest next year in both the
democratic and republican primaries.

Comment at the Department.


The report from Beverly. Mass. to the
effect that President Taft Is contempla-
ting the issue OF an executive order
placing in the civil service all assistant
postmasters and permanent clerks in
money order offices was discussed with
interest at the Post ONCE Department to-
day. II the order applies to all post
fees in the country, q great number OF
employees will be affected. since there are
about 10000 post offlces OF all classes.
1t was suggested at the department
however. that the order might have to
do with the classified offices only-the Of
fees having regular city delivery. There
are about 1.5OO classified offices.
At present all the fourth-class post
masters In fourteen states-those north OF
the Ohio river and east of the Mississippi
river-are under the civil service.
The report from Beverly states that
Postmaster General Hitchcock suggested
to the President some time ago that he
issue an executive order putting all as
sistant postmasters and permanent clerks
in the money order offices under the civil
service. on the ground that II would add
greatly to the efficiency of the postal
service. Postmaster General Hitchcock
is not In the city. and 1t was impossible
to learn today just what his recommen-
dalton covers.

PROPOSED EXTENSION
OF THE CIVIL SERVICE
President Taft Contemplating
Inclusion of Assistant Post

BEVERLY. Mass. September 3.-Presi-
dent Taft is contemplating and probably
will issue soon after his return to WASH
ington from Beverly an executive order
putting all assistant postmasters and the
permanent clerks in money order post Of
fees under the civil service. Postmaster
General Hitchcock recommended this step
to the President some time ago. and he
has been considering 1t. Today the Pres
ident talked the matter over with r. H.
Dana, president OF the National Civil
Service Reform League. Mr.. Taft will
take the question up with his cabinet the
latter part OF this month and finally dis
pose OF 1t. Mr. Hitchcock thinks the Or
der will work great Improvement in the

NAMES ON POLL BOOKS
NEW REGISTRATION Is REQUIR-
ED IN MARYLAND.
None Can Vote in Congressional
Election Unless He Is Prop
erly Enrolled.

BALTIMORE. Md. September 3.-PoH-
ticians are now turning their attention to
the wholly new registration this year.
and strong efforts will be made to get q
full enrolment. Maryland democrats and
republicans will work to see that the
party vote is registered.
The congressional election will be held
under the new registration. Those who
do not have their names enrolled will not
be permitted to vote.
Under the law passed by the last legis-
lature the registration offices will be open
from noon until 10 pm. Under the old
law they were open from 0 am. to D pm.
The last day for registration will be
October Is, which Is also a
new plan.
Politicians have In previous years had
considerable trouble In getting out full
registration for congressional elections.
Apathy. as a rule. has prevailed among
the voters. Because Of the interest In the
congressional election this year II is be-
lieved that the registration will be heavier
than usual.
