He said as to the urexpended balances
that 1t was not his policy to turn money

BARRED USE OF WATER
FROM DISTRICT CONDUIT
Connection With Cabin John
Bridge Hotel Cut by
Army Engineers.

BY direction of the Secretary of War
capt Hannurn. chief assistant to Col
l.anghst. the engineer officer in charge OF
the District water supply system today
cut on the connection between the Wash
ihgton aqueduct and the Cabin John
bridge Hotel in Maryland few miles
| west OF Georgetown That action was
taken on the ground that the operation of
this water service was in violation of the
act of Congress of March :. 1889. which
prohibits the diversion of any portion of
the District water supply for the use OF
any building establishment located
outside Of the limits of the District
The original permit for the connection
at the Cabin John Bridge Hotel was is
sued in the early sixties when the District
water supply system was under the juris-
diction of the Interior Department, and
the motel has been supplied with water
from the Washington aqueduct ever since
The matter was brought to the attention
OF the War Department last summer dur
ing the alleged water famine at Glen
Echo. when the case was cited as a pre-
cedent for tapping the aqueduct for the
benefit of that Maryland village
Declared Violation of Law.
An investigation of the matter resulted
in decision by the Secretary of War
that the Cabin John Bridge Hotel con
nection was violation of the law OF ls.c,
The proprietors OF the hotel were then
notified that they must remove the con-
nection by November l. 1911, otherwise
it would be done by the army engineers
in charge of the aqueduct. In the alb
Sence or action by the hotel people it
became necessary for the aqueduct force
today to plug up the outlet from the
aqueiuct, which was not a very difficult
or expensive operation
Mrs. w. III. Bobinger, wife OF the man
ager of the hotel, said today that water
from artesian We'll on the grounds
can be pumped into the hotel. and the
machinery is ready for pumping In case

Anonymous Letters Circulated.

Further evidence of the growing feeling
between the fraternity and fraternity
boys is furnished by the circulation Of
anonymous communications stating that
there is bitter frat war going on at
the Mckinley SOhool' and naming several
members of the fourth year class as being
boys willing to give out informat ton
against the secret organizations
II Is also regarded extremely prob
able that anti-f. aternity boys Of the sew
eral high schools may combine forces and
work for the extinction of the high school
secret societies. The feeling which has
deve. oped this year. they say, will not
abate until the fraternity and sorority
question has been settled for once and
for ALL
