SPENDS BIRTHDAY IN JAIL.
Stephen A. D. Ginslinger to Answer
Charge of Theft,

Stephen A. D. Ginslinger celebrated his
seventeenth birthday in the local Jail to-
day. There was some doubt as to the
right Of the Jail officials to hold the boy
in Jail because he was not seventeen
years old, but his present age relieves
them Of the necessity of appealing to
United States Attorney Wilson to have
the law construed.
Ginslinger is awaiting the action OF the
grand jury to answer the charge Of theft

HAS NOT INVESTIGATED
WATER RATE MATTER
Commissioner Rudolph Does
Not Yet Know What His
Attitude Will Be.

Commissioner Rudolph says he has
not sufficiently studied the. proposed
water rate increase to know whether
he will be in favor of it..
At the time the increase in rates was
suggested Mr.. Rudolph was in Ger
many. He said that, prior to leaving
on his European trip, he had discussed
the matter in general way with En-
gineer Commissioner Judson. but that
he did not investigate 1t to any ex-
tent.
Mr.. Dudolph said that, in his opinion.
Washington's water service should be
metered. although he has not decided
whether he would be in favor Of in
creasing the rates or employing other
methods for securing the money nee
essary to make the Improvement.
Maj. Judson Studying Matter.
Engineer Commissioner Judson is
devoting a part. of his vacation, which
ne is spending at Warm Springs. Va.
to a study of the latest financial
statement of the condition Of the
water department. This statement was
completed recently by supt. of the
Water Department Mcfarland and
forwarded to Maj. Judson.
Supt. Mcfarland is. at present, away
from the city on a vacation. 1t is his
intention. as soon as he returns, to
compile a report dealing with the
methods for metering the water serv-
ice.
1t is expected the report will be
finished by the middle or the latter
part of September. and that the Com
missioners will take the matter up
Immediately with the object Of arriy-
ing at a decision as early as possible
Committee to Investigate.
The committee Of the Chamber of
Commerce. headed by Chaplin Brown,
which was appointed to investigate
the proposed water rates increase. has
not taken UP the work yet. but prob
ably will do SO in a couple Of weeks.
Mr.. Brown is now in Boston, attend
ing the meeting Of the American Bar
Association.
Just before leaving Mr.. Brown said
that he would get his committee to-
gether as soon as he returned The
committee, he said, would make a
thorough investigation and report its
findings and recommendations to the
chamber.
1t is understood that the committee
has been held up in it's work because
1t has been unable to get hold of the
latest financial report on the condi-
tion OF the water department.

WILL HONOR MEMORY
OF WAWASET VICTIMS
Survivors of Steamer Fire
Plan to Erect Monument to
Seventy Who Perished.

That the memory of the seventy Wash
ingtonians who perished in the burning
of the steamer Wawaset, August Z,
1873. be perpetuated by a suitable monu-
ment at the place where they were
buried is the object of a movement that
has been inaugurated in the District and
has received the support of Commissioner
Cuno II. Rudolph and other ofhcials.
Although at various times the survivors
OF the disaster. which was the most ter
nble that has ever occurred on the Poto-
mac river, have started a movement in
this direction. they have decided now TO
ask the aid of the Association OF Oldest
1nha bitants. which will take the matter
up at its fall meeting.
j. w. Reed, a merchant of 9th and d
streets northwest, whose wife. three chill
dren, aunt and a cousin perished in the
fire. is one of the strongest supporters OF
the plan. and Commissioner Rudolph has
promised to support the movement.
Story Should Be Perpetuated.
"A spot like this" he said, should be
sacred to the memory of other genera
tons. Washingtonians should not allow
the passing Of the years to efface the
memory of such calamity as this.
Something should be done to keep alive
the story Of the Wawaset."
Others who are interested in the move
ment are Thomas Herndon of 1915 Har-
ward street and Cyrus Sheafe, who lives
in Virginia. Both had relatives. and
were themselves. on the ill-fated steamer
at the time of the calamity.
No trace can now be found OF the
graves The fire broke out on the boat
just as 1t passed Smiths Point wharf.

lighthouse, at 3 o'clock In the afternoon

officer, and succeeded in saving fifteen

CAT PROBLEM WORRIES
CITY HEALTH OFFICERS
No Money With Which to Con-
duct Crusade Against
Homeless FeIineS.

"Tell me if Job ever had affiictions
like these"
Commissioner Rudolph. after reading
this request at the bottom of a letter
addressed to him by Mrs C. e. Mat
thews of Lamont street complaining
Of the annoyance caused by cats in that
neighborhood, decided that Job, after
all, had something to be thankful for.
The cats in her neighborhood, accord
ing to Mrs. Matthews. have done every
thing that we'll behaved cats should not
do Besides making the night hideous
with their cries, she declares, they rob
birds nests early in the morning and
make themselves general nuisance dur
ing the day.
Starved and Crippled.
..The cats are starved and crippled and
sickenins to look upon" the letter states
"They scratch open the garbage cans and
string the garbage around. The cans re-
main open for the flies and the rain, and
the odor is distributed far and wide.
"People don't complain, because they
say it is no use.' but ] am going to ven
ture, in the belief that eventually you
will do something to bring relief, the
writer concludes.
which begins with the statement, Won't
YOU please do something with the cats?'
were a number Of newspaper clippings
relating to the subject The letter and
the clippings will be turned over to the
health department.
Worried by Problem.
The problem of what TO do with the
stray members of the city's feline popu-
Iation is one that has been worrying the
health department for a long time. Com
plaints similar to Mrs. Matthews have
been received before.
1.-The department has no crusade against
cats under way at present said Health
Officer Woodward, for the reason that 1t
has no appropriation for conducting war
fare of that nature. In order to impound
cats an appropriation would he necessary
Ito buy traps with which to capture them.
Catching cats Is a difficult problem from
any standpoint, and ] can't say what the
department may eventually recommend
