Those Fined for Violations.

Among eight owners of power boats
and sailing craft against whom fines
amounting to s2,120 were assessed by
Collector Stone of the customs office at
Baltimore, in charge of this customs

owner of Potomac river schooner, on
a charge of not having sufficient life
saving equipment in a power tender to
the schooner. The fine imposed on him
was $3.50. \ Rock Hill, Md, owner was
assessed $3.50 for several infractions of
the navigation laws, and he was re-
ported to the United States district at
tcrney for Indictment. charged with
not having means aboard a power
tender for extinguishing gasoline fires.
An Annapolis steamboat company
was fined $500 for allowing a steamer
of it's line to be operated without hav-
ing fire buckets filled with water in
readiness for use in case of fire. Own
ers of two schooners were fined $500
each for running at night without
showing proper lights, and fine of
500 was imposed on schooner owner
for not having proper equipment in
his power tender. other fines of small
amounts We're also imposed.
Recently fines were imposed on sew
eral masters of Potomac schooners for

Favors Interstate Control.
Warren G. Harding, United States
senator-elect from Ohio. favored in
terstate control for the entire rail-
road service and an immediate genera
rate advance, to save the crash of the
temple of transportation"
He said, in part:
The argument has never appealed to
me that we ought to prosper our rail-
roads for the specific purpose of pro-
noting general prosperity. 1t seems
to me more important to prosper our
transportation lines as a simple mat
ter of fairness and justice to this most
important single agency in our modern
lives.
believe that the day of plundering
financing has passed. l should like to
proclaim in the same breath the pass
ing of railroad batting less inspired by
p1ollc good than by personal profits
ana political gain. 1t has been a great
stunt to hammer the railroads.
THE drift is toward sober second
thought. There has been an excess of
commissioning. The best railroad
knowledge in all the land ought to
light the way. Public service ought to
be the impelling purpose, unheeding
public clamor.
Il believe it is the opinion of ninety
nine of every hundred thinking people
that the railways of the country are
entitled to an increase of rates and
would gladly see it granted
Cites Agitation and Restriction.
Through agitation and restriction
there has come impaired credit, until
there is a threatening collapse of the
railroad edifice. These items of main
tenance and betterments have been
overlooked by the political exhorters.
I'VE ought to put the entire railway
service under interstate control. Such
a policy would save millions in public
expense and put US on broad plane.
The lawmaking industry is too often
worked overtime. The country needs
today less Legislative bills pending and
more railroad bills of lading.
1T is apparent that the interstate
commerce commission believes in the
pressing necessity for increased earn
ings, but opposes the short and direct
route. The rate increase would be
direct and immediate. Other remedial
efforts could be left to follow the slow
er process of evolved adoption.
"A general rate advance will not
bring the complete revival of American
activity, but it will save the crash of
the temple of transportation. establish
railway credit and lead to that physi-
cal rehabilitation which is of prime i'm
portance in ministering to greater
American activities"

WATER SUPPLY PROMISED
TO GARFIELD SECTION
Letter From Commissioners to Citi-
zens' Association Indicates Ex-
tension of City System.

A letter from the Commissioners was
read at the December meeting of the
Original Garfield Citizens Association
last night indicating that an extension
of the city water supply probably
would be made to that section in the
near future. The letter stated that
it was the intention of running the
trunk line from Congress Heights as
far as the Garfield School, and that
when this was completed the proposition
of extending individual service pipes
would then be considered. This letter
caused much satisfaction and the de-
sire was expressed that the work be
started at once.
A few weeks ago the Garfield sec
lion was threatened with water
famine because of the absence of this
service and because most all of the
wells in the suburb had dried up. This
condition has been relieved to some
extent, however, because of the recent
rains and sufficient drinking water is
available, but it was said last night
that another dry season would create
the same condition that existed I. few
weeks ago.

Transportation System Wanted.

A new proposition was launched last
night to inaugurate Some systeW-of
transportation between that. suburb
and Anacostia, and it was decided to
hold a special meeting the evening of
December %, when the question will
be discussed. So far only tentative
plans have been made. and these favor
the establishment of an automobile
bus line between the two points.
A letter was read from r. c. Bruce,
assistant superintendent of schools,
relative to the esta blishment of a car
penter shop in connection with the
Garfield School, and this letter indi-
Gated that the question would be
placed before the proper officials for
consideration and every effort made to
secure favorable action.

a Fair WARNING,


MANY a man goes to war without

command of detail made up of
dozen or two recruits that had just
come up from the gulf states. The
first night we were near the enemy
managed to find a deserted cabin and.
after placing my picket out in front,
we flung ourselves down to sleep. In
the middle of the night | changed the
picket, selecting for duty a young fel
low who had exhibited the most in
tense lcnging to eXterminate the en-
tire northern army.
About dawn l was awakened by the
well known Ping. ping! of bullets
against the logs of the cabin and the
expostulating voice of my picket. Go,
ing to the door. saw that a small
scouting party of federal soldiers had
discovered signs of Confederates in
tie cabin and were trying to drive us
out by firing from the opposite hill. J
turned to my picket and gave gasp

stood in the midst of the clearing while
The bullets whistled around him.
There was no sign of fear about him,
but he was tremendously excited. He
had dropped his musket and was wav-
ing his arms. trying to attract the at.
tention of the enemy. and shouting al
