Daring Birdman to Be Re-
Warded for Flights.

Glory will not be the only crop that
Harry n. Atwood will reap as the re-
suit of his New York Washington flight,
if plans of the Washington Aero Club
are carried out. A purse of $500 is now
being raised.
number of prominent Washington
ians are interested, and it is probable
the money will be obtained in the next
day or two and presented to the aviator
Atwood is maintaining a passive and re-
ceptive attitude at present, but makes no
concealment of his disappointment over
the failure of the Chamber of Commerce
TO provide a purse for him in recogni-
tion of his cross-crountry and over-city
flights.
Atwood will remain in Washington for
some little time, probably until arrange
ments are made for his New York to
Chicago flight He is dolefully engaged
in counting up his actual money loss in

vestment and subsequent extensions and
improvements. In one item alone this
would be interest on $20000,0oo. the ap-
proximate cost Of the first plant. This
amount was expended by the United
States government for the first system,
and the system. subsequently,. was turned
over to the District. free Of charge. ac-
cording to the understanding Of members
OF the committee. On this investment or
capitalization. no interest is paid by the
District, and the contention Of those who
advocate an increase in the water rates
is that in figuring the water department
as a self-sustaining branch of the Dis
trict government, allowance for the pay
ment Of interest on this and similarly in
vested capital should be included. BY
including this. they say. the water de-
partment at the present rate would run
into an annual deficit of approximately
s17o, 900.
Mayes Ready to Report.
This contention is liable to meet with
the appreciation Of Chairman johnson
and the majority Of the subcommittee
of the House Committee on the Dis
trict, which is going to probe the Dis
trict administration and corporation in
terests. Already Mr.. Mayes, the expert
accountant Of the committee, after sew
eral weeks spent in going through the
records in the Municipal Building and
musty papers in the Treasury Depart
ment, back almost to the middle Of the
last century. is ready to offer a report
on this phase Of the investigation that
probably will answer the Chamber Of
Commerce committee as far as the
financial status Of the water department
is concerned.
1t was the statement that a large
amount Of money. which had been ex-
pended for the District government by
Congress and never repaid, had not been
drawing interest that caused Chairman
Johnson and Representative Oldfleld. also
member of the District Committee, to
Institute the Congressional investigation
The Washington herald., 1911-07-20

The first step in what will be Z
determined fight to prevent an in.
crease in the present water tax OF
residents of the District was taker
yesterday, when the committee on
municipal legislation of the Cham
Der of Commerce took up the con-
sideration of the proposed increase
in rates.
Rejecting the attitude of the ma
jority of the members of the
Chamber, the committee is dis
tinctly in the "show me" class
when it comes to believing in a ne
cessity for raising the water tax, as
proposed by Commissioner Judson.
INFORMATION WANTED.
Resolutions were passed at the meet
ing authorizing the chairman Of the COM
mittee. Chaplin Brown, to ask the Com
tempt to raise the rates. Mr.. Brown is
further authorized, in case an affirma-
tive or noncommittal answer is returned
by the Commissioners, to request any
information from the District admins
tration he may think helpful to the COM
mittee in the work II will undertake in
investigating conditions in and asso-
ciated with the water department.
Except as the attitude of the commit
tee was shown in the informal discus
sion, little was accomplished beyond the
passage Of these resolutions. The COM
mittee is determined to go to the bottom
of the affair, and is not willing to rush
into the fight without thorough prepara-
tion.
This is big. serious question" said
one of the members. "One that should
be gone into carefully, with due consid-
GRAFTON for the interests of both sides.
The people Of Washington are greatly
aroused over the proposed increase in
the water tax, and If they are to pay
more they should have the figures at
hand to show the necessity for the in
crease"
The First Question.
the committee will be the necessity for
such a move. In order to arrive at their
conclusions in this phase of the investi-
cation the members will have to go into
the financial status of the department,
past and present. This will include an
analysis of present conditions and the
statement, recently made by an official
Of the engineer department, that If the
water department were a private cor
poration doing business with the same
revenue as It now commands, and had
started out as a private corporation, 1t
about $4,000
This statement is based upon several
considerations, 1t is understood. One of
these is the interest private company
would have to pay on the original in

A meeting Of the Brotherhood Of the

closing of their stores on Sunday. After
the locality has been thoroughly can

and the violation Of the pharmacy law
Is the only way in which would-be suicides
can be punished.
The Dorsey woman yesterday pleaded
not guilty, and at first denied taking the
poison. Policeman w. o. Embrey, who
saw her fall to the ground after drink
ing the acid, testified to seeing the bottle
and her burned mouth.
After the story Of her removal to
Emergency and then to Columbia Hos
pital had been told. the Dorsey woman
said she took the poison because "her
fellow had gone back on her.
The druggist of whom she bought the
poison. Walter c. Simmons. negro. said
she told him she wanted 1t for a dis
infectant. The law forbids the purchase
Of poison under false pretenses.
The Washington herald., 1911-07-20

For buying carbolic acid under false
pretenses, and then drinking the poison
with suicidal intent, Lucy Dorsey, negro.
will be arraigned in the Police Court
July 25 on the charge OF violating the
pharmacy law. She was taken sick
while on trial yesterday and was re-
moved to the Washington Asylum Hos
pital She has not recovered from the
effects Of the burns she received when
she drank the poison. June is.
The action of Pharmacy Inspector
Sanders in bringing the case to court is
believed to be a step toward putting a
ban on suicide in the District. In his
report to Maj. Sylvester, Inspector Sand
ers refers to suicide as a crime against
society, and asks for a law to prevent
persons from obtaining poison.
In speaking of suicides, the report
says: "A law making 1t felony for
person to attempt or feign to attempt
suicide would cause persons susceptible
to suggestion Of suicide and persons

DISTRICT ENFORCES
AUTO TAG LAW
No Longer Will Maryland
Motorists Escape.

The enforcement of the law requiring
Maryland motorists to obtain District
licenses before they enter Washington
win continue, according to Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Gus A. Schuldt. He
said yesterday that the law should be
strictly enforced because Of the heavy
fines which have been imposed by Mary
land authorities when District automo-
bilists have violated the law.
This, however, is not the real reason
for the enforcement of the regulation In
the District" he said Maryland au-
toists have been violating the law
The Washington herald., 1911-07-20

We intend to make 1t known that auto

Marylanders who have been arrested
have complained Of the stringent law.
The maximum penalty is $40, and i9 no
case tried SO far has the fine imposed
been more than S. When five District
autoists were arrested in Maryland some
time ago they paid in fines or forfeitures
more than 500. or nearly $50 apiece.
