Vessel When Put Overheard.

When the lighter belonging to Warner
Stutler is put overheard from Benefits

craft. The vessel was taken from the
water in the early part of the week with
the intention Of doing some repair work
to her hull to make her tight and suita-
BILE for towing up and down the river.
1t was found, however, when an examina-
ton of her hull was made, that 1t was in
bad condition and to put 1t in good order
new decks. new planking and a number
of new timbers were necessary. Little
was left of the lighter but her framework
after the carpenters got through tearing
out the dead wood and 1t will be three
weeks or a month before she will be
ready for service.
The power boat Mary ", belonging to
Capt. George NeitZey, which has been out
on the marine railway at Regan's being
painted and Overhauled. is approaching
completion and this evening at high water
she will be put overheard and will be

ing trips on the river. The Mary n. will
be ready for service by the end Of this
week.

Cities in East and Middle West.

A tour of number of cities of the
east and middle west will be begun by
Judge Latimer Of the Juvenile Court In
about a week. The judges trip is to be
made with the object of familiarizing
himself with the methods and procedure
in the juvenile courts in other cities.
An itinerary of the trip is now being
prepared, one day being the time limit
allowed for each city. Judge Latimer
was particularly anxious to include a
trip to Denver to study the court there,
but the length of the journey and the
limited time the judge has allowed him
self will preclude that visit.
Judge Latimer had planned to make
this tour earlier in the summer. but the
illness of his small daughter who has re-
Gently recovered from an attack of scar
let fever, prevented.

SUPPORTS WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Mrs. Lockwood Gets Copy of Resolu-
ton Passed at The Hague.

Mrs. Belva Lockwood. delegate to the
recent International Peace Conference at
The Hague. yesterday received an Off
cial copy of a resolution supporting
woman suffrage which was adopted by
the conference. The resolution was in
PRODUCED by Jaakoff Preiooker. a dele
gate from the Mems International ALI
ance for Woman Suffrage. he resolu-
ton declares.
That in view of the fact that women
are not less deeply interested in the
blessings of peace than men, and are, in
deed. by their natural maternal instinct,
even more anxious for the lives, health
and happiness of their sons, but being
deprived In most states Of the parlia-
mentary vote, cannot help fully and eff
feetively the cause Of international arbi-
tration by direct influence upon parlia-
ment and governments, the Twentieth
Universal Peace Congress expresses its
conviction that the political enfranchise-
rnent of women is most desirable on this
as well as on many other moral and
economic grounds and would lead to a
speedier arbitrament of international
disputes.

ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED.
Sailor Meets Death While Trying to
Escape From Insane Asylum.

Coroner hewitt yesterday afternoon
gave a certificate of accidental death in
the case Of Clarence q. McIver, sailor
who disappeared from the Government
Hospital for the Insane Tuesday and
whose body was found floating in the
river yesterday afternoon.
McIver was from Chicago. He had
been anxious to procure his release from
the hospital and return home to see his
mother and, it is stated, his mother was
anxious for his return, thinking she could
care for him.
The young man got his belongings to-
gether, removed his shoes and strapped
them over his shoulders and started to
swim from the grounds of the institution
to a point from where he thought he
could start for home without danger Of
being apprehended.
He did not succeed in reaching the
shore opposite the institution, however,
probably becoming exhausted and going
to the bottom. 1t is probable that his
body will be inferred at Arlington.

ON DISTRICT SUFFRAGE
Course to Be Adopted by Civic

to view it from all possible angles.

off much longer by this body" said MI.
Callahan, land feeling that the subject
is one which is certain to come up In the
near future / want all members of this
body to think it over. I have been ask
ed for interviews time after time on this
subject, but have refused to commit my
self. l am certain that the other mem
bers present tonight have also been in
terviewed on this very important ques-
ton
Mr.. Callahan did not commit himself
in any way on the proposition. He was
explicit, however, in urging that the sub
ject be considered. He pointed out that
the question might limit itself to the rep
resentation of the District in Congress
by a delegate or that it might take much
wider scope.

FINES IN POLICE COURT
AUGMENT PENSION FUND
Firemen and Policemen May Benefit
by Violations Of Traffic and
Excise Laws.

With approximately $1,000 in fines
levied in the Police Court since July 1
for violations Of the new traffic and ex-
else laws. District officials are hopeful
that the increased revenue received from
these sources will mean that police and
firemen's pension payments hereafter
are to be made in full.
Action by Congress Necessary.
Although action by Congress will be
necessary before the District can make
good the amount it owes on back pay
ments. which is something like $4,000.
there is every indication, in the opinion
Of Auditor Tweedale, that the new ex-
else law, with its penalties for drunken
ton of the traffic laws. will put the pen
sion fund on a sound basis, as regards
future payments.
Since July there has been more than
$4,000 placed to the credit of the fund.
OF this sum $4,000 was derived from
dog taxes. Further additions to the fund
will depend entirely upon the Police
Court fines, as there will be no more
tax collections available until next July.
Pending Legislation.
The bill now before Congress which
would wipe out the existing pension in
debtedness Of $4,000, authorizes the COL
lectOr of taxes to place to the credit
Of the fund an amount sufficient to meet
any deficiency from the sale Of all
licenses, other than liquor licenses.
