The fight for universal transfers in the
District was strongly indorsed by the
North Washington Citizens Association
at a meeting last night in the parish
hall Of the Church of the Advent, Second
and L streets northwest. The president
was authorized to appoint a delegate to
attend a conference OF representatives
of the various citizens organizations of
the city. to be held on October u, to
discuss plans for obtaining the passage
of a universal transfer bill at the next
session of Congress.
p. V. Keating. OF the Rhode Island
Avenue Suburban Citizens Association,
made a brief address In behalf of tho
universal transfer campaign and request
ed that a delegate ! @ appointed to attend
the conference. He explained the OBJ
jeCt of the conference was to unity and
concentrate efforts i'm the fight for legiS-
lation. He stated trat the conference
would not conflict with other representa-
tive Citiz"nS' bodies. The conference
probably will be held in the rooms OF the
Chamber of Commerce.
Fear of Contamination.
Fear that the proximity of Glenwood,
Prospect Hill. and St. Mary's ceme-
eteries to the Soldiers Home reservoir
and the city filtration plant might cause
contamination of the District water sup
ply was expressed by some Of the mem
hers, and the matter was referred to the
sanitation committee for thorough eX-
animation. The question was introduced
by Edwin A. Mess. who said that he had
received from c. 4. NJ. Wells, of 1901 II
street northwest. a pamphlet by DR.. John
Benjamin Nichols, OF this city, discus
sing the relation of cemeteries in the
District to public health.
1t is the idea of Mr.. Wells to have in
terments in the three cemeteries men
toned discontinued because of the al
legged danger to public health The PAM
phlet deals with all of the cemeteries
in the city. but lays especial a-Iess on
the three near the reservoir.
Prospect Hill. ST. Mary's, and Glen
wood cemeteries" reads section OF the
pamphlet besides draining toward the
adjacent houses. occupy relation to
the filtration plant and reservoir that Is
worthy Of note. This group of cemeteries
is entirely situated within a half mile
from the filtration plant, the prohibited
distance in Connecticut. and on an ele-
va ation above the latter. SO that the west
ern and northwestern drainage from the
cemeteries is toward and underneath
the filter beds The distance between
tn filter and tho graves Is less than that
which has been found requisite for the
absolute exclusion of contamination"

There is considerable speculation among
local automobile racing followers as to

next Saturday. Len Zcngle, the winner
of the event a year ago. as we'll as the
Elgin trophy race this year. and Ralph
MulfOrd. one of the most consistent of
automobile racing drivers, are the favor
ties. There are those who claim that
Zengle is not driven enough to come out
first that he does not consider his car
nor his tires enough, and there are others
who made the same statement about Null
ford, pointing to the fact that tire trou-
Bile cost him the race a year ago by
few seconds. Both of these drivers are
out for one another's scalp, and those
who journey over from this city to see
the event, of which there will be quite
humber. are promised some real sport
between these two if no other partici-
pants.
