WHERE GLEN ECHO PARK
GETS ITS WATER SUPPLY

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
May We request the courtsy OF your
columns TO give circulation to the real
truth Of the water supply situation at
Glen Echo in so far as 1t concerns the
amount Of water used at Glen Echo
Park, for the reason that our firm
installed the plumbing fixtures at that
resort this season? Whether uncon-
sciously or not. Mr.. A J. Houghton
whose letter you published in your is
sue Of yesterday states what is obvi-
ously not the truth when he asserts that
the water from the reservoir of the
town OF Glen Echo is being used at
ing purposes. The water used for
flushing the closets and spigots used
in the toilets is supplied from Washing
ton, as our firm installed the necessary
apparatus to permit Of the use Of the
barreled water for the purposes above
The installation of these
fixtures was completed on July Is, and
we are positive that the amusement
park has not since that time used any
other than barreled water for the toilets
the park Is using only barreled water,
for the reason that, under the system
we installed, the use of water in any
other form Is not possible. Inasmuch
as we received this contract only be-
cause the park management, unwilling
to rely on the falling water supply of
the town, wanted to protect its patrons
by the use of water delivered daily
from the city Of Washington we deem
it but just that your readers be in
formed as to the facts Of the matter,
in view of the confusion
caused by the hasty utterances of un-
informed and belligerent partisans:

ARRESTED PARTIES NOT
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES

To the Editor o. THE TIMES:
A letter from me to you on the Glen
Echo mix-up states most OF the ar
rested parties to be employees Of q
Washington railway company. The mis-
take is regretted. Said persons were
employees of the Glen Echo Amusement
Company, which, occupying railroad
property, offcered and directed by rail-
road officials, in one Of their pooh
bah" capacities. furnishing quarters,
etc, naturally gets mixed with 1t to the
ordinary public. The letter intended to
show the good sense of a business con-
Germ in barring liquor, the universal
producer of disorder and trouble, from
the field Of It's operations. We all know
that the city would have much better
police protection on Saturday nights If
il wasn't necessary to have so many
men protecting saloons. bartenders, and
neighboring property from violence at the
hands Of hquor-crazed patrons. In
most resorts selling liquor every waiter
would be a special policeman to carry
out the boss ideas for the promotion Of
order, such ideas usually embodying
the throwing out of the disturber in
more or less conscious condition, the
coroner or hospital removing the re-
mains, according to results, which, II
dead, are always victims Of thugs un-
known officially. If liquor produces
order why so many police at liquor re-
sorts? W. E. ALLEN.

HOW TAX PAYERS
MONEY is SPENT

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
At Sixteenth and Mt. Pleasant streets
an entrance is authorized by the last
Congress to be cut from there into the
Zoo Park. The survey and computa-
ton are all made, and in the Surveyors
hands. Also money Is available now to
improve Mt. Pleasant street from Co
lumbia road to Park road. The En-
gineer Department has laid a new curb
across where the entrance to the park
should start which will cost some hun
dreds OF dollars extra, and in a few
months it will have to be destroyed and
this money charged up to necessary
expense. Also, out on Colorado avenue
between Fourteenth and A road an i'm
provement that should take two weeks
has now been running three months.
Grades have been changed and crushed
stone hauled and dumped on Longfel-
low street, then shoveled and carted to
the Job. 1 simply ask the business COM
munity what business concern would
stand for this management, and 1t is
going on all the time, and taxes being
raised to encourage this incompetence
under the dignified head of the En-
gineers office. VIM. RAMSAY.

Mother Shipton had uttered It in her

And accidents fill the world with woe,
Around the world thoughts shall fly,
In the twinkling of an eye. 2
Water shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange. yet shall be true,
The world upside down shall be,
And gold found at the root of tree
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his sides
Under water men shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen
In white. In black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
AS easy as a wooden boat. s
Gold shall be found, and found
In q land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall more wonders do,

Capital of Haiti
Hemmed In By Foes

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti. July 2S.-
An attack upon the capital of the
Black Republic was expected today.
The rebels pushed their advance lines
to within three miles of the city last
night and Port au Prince was hemmed
in on the land side. But for the pres
ence of the United States cruiser Des
Moines in the harbor, there would be
panic and much disorder.
The gunboat Petrol is at Jeremie to-
day in response to urgent requests from
the American, French, and German
consuls, who represented that the rebels
were preparing to shell the town de-
spite the warning of the American Gov
ernment that the bombardment of un-
fortified places would not be permitted.
The cruiser Chester is still at Cape
Haitien and the naval tug Peoria was
sent to Gonaives, another threatened

fact is that out of twenty-one men In

THE EVERLASTING SCHOOL
MANAGEMENT QUARREL.

1t is just one more illustration of the
impossibility of a divided responsibility,
this row between the District Commits
sioners and the School Board. At the
bottom the system is all wrong. The
Commissioners have charge of the build
ings and grounds; the School Board
has control of the actual educational
processes. The condition is an impos-
sible one if efficient service and reas-
enable cost are to be regarded as de-
sirable and necessary.
It's isstrongly limited that President Taft
has himself been responsible for raising
the question of discrimination against
the colored schools. If it is true, the
President has done the District a serv-
ice, for the controversy has called at
tention anew to the essential weakness
of the present organic school act.
The Commissioners, having authority
to revise the school estimates, have
got into the habit of cutting them lib
orally, and the board, expecting the
cuts, has become accustomed to ask
with corresponding liberality so as to
leave a margin for the cuts. Neither
side has given fair consideration to the
good faith and straightforwardness of
the other.
Last year the Commissioners asked
the board, in preparing its estimates,
to place at the bottom those items es-
teemed of least Importance. The board
accordingly complied by putting the
estimates for colored schools in the
least urgent and commanding position.
The Commissioners adjusted their cuts
to this estimate of comparative impor-
tance by carving off very large part
of the estimates for colored schools,
with the result that the charge of dis
arose and is understood to
have been carried up to the President
himself
The School Board ought to have en-
tire, unrestricted charge of school af-
fairs, both property and teaching; or
else it ought to be made, as to both
these sides of its work, frankly subor-
dinate to the Commissioners. Co-ordi-
nation and the concentration of final
are very important; they
are absolutely necessary unless the
schools are to be constantly in a fer
ment.
The members of the Board of Educa-
tion are now appointed by the judges
of the Supreme Court. In other COM
munities that plan has been held vio-
lation of the constitutional right of
local self-government. That objection
may not hold here, because no right of
local self-government is guaranteed to
this District. But even so, the plan is
bad and ought not to be continued. The
whole scheme of school organization
is bad, and the people in the House of
who are valiantly
the District with some use
full reforms ought to consider this field.
The Washington times., 1911-07-28

the leader of the opposition. It is diff
cult to conceive how more solemn
warning could have been issued in the
terms of that diplomacy peculiar to
official station, and yet the German
press processes to find in the two
speeches in question satisfactory as
surances of peace. If it means peace
it is probably because Germany has
seen that rafting the saber has gone
about far enough, and, to put it very
bluntly, Great Britain is ready to fight
to maintain what she considers her
rights and the balance of power in Eu-
rope.
Chancellor Lloyd George, in his ring
ing Guildhall speech a few days ago,
sounded warning note which was clear
enough, but he is so generally known
as rather radical in his style of oratory
that it was thought his speech perhaps
should not be taken as seriously as
it sounded.
No such objection could apply to the
utterances of the premier and the lead
er of the opposition. Of the two, it
may be said that Mr.. Balfour's, per-
haps, was the more significant. He
told Germany very plainly that if that
country counted on British division at
home as furnishing an opportunity for
Germany's swing of the mailed fist,
she "bitterly' mistook "the temper of
the British people and the patriotism
of the opposition" All internal dissen-
sions would instantly be forgotten in
the face of a common danger.
If such utterances spell peace, Ger
many may make the most of it, but to
the unprejudiced observer they appear
to have placed the empire of the war
lord where it will have to fight or re-
tire as gracefully as may be from
Morocco.
