BILL PASSED IS RESULT. :.
OF SUFFRACIST PARADE
Commissioners Authorized to Clear
Washington Streets Whenever
They Deem 1t Necessary.

The Senate passed a bill yesterday
afternoon. introduced by Senator Jones
Of Washington State. authorizing the
District Commissioners to clear the
streets of Washington whenever. In
their judgment, IL becomes necessary
This legislation is the sequel of the
trouble that grew out of the sufYra.
gfs's' parade last March, when the
marchers were practically overrun by
the mob. A Senatorial investigation
followed. and much testimony was
taken for and against the contention
that the police department of Wash
ington was derelict in the matter OF
enforcing order.
Maj. Sylvester. superintendent of po-
lice. insisted there was no authority in
law for clearing the streets of traffic
in advance of the parade, and, as a
result of this defense. the bill was re-
ported and passed yesterday. This is
supposed to be the last chapter in the
story of the suffragists parade of last
year, the day before President Wilson
was inaugurated.

REPORT ON POLLUTION
In GREAT LAKES MADE
International Commission Says Cities
Using Water Must Purify
Supply.

An exhaustive investigation into the
extent to which the waters of the Great
Lakes and connecting rivers are pol
luted has been completed by the inter-
national joint commission, composed of
representatives of Canada and the Unit
ed States. 1t was found that the bulk
Of the waters of the Great Lakes are
quite pure. but that there is consid-
cradle pollution in the waters of the con-
Meeting rivers.
In the opinion of the commission. there
is not single city, American or Ga
madam, using water from the lakes or
boundary rivers, which can be said tc
possess water supply which it is safe
TO use without purifying treatment.
The commission employed DR.. A. ].
Mclaughlin, of the United States Public
Health Service, as director Of field work:
DR.. ]. W. s. Mccullough. chief health
officer of Ontario. and DR.. John A. Am
yot. of the University of Toronto, as

TAX REFORM Is URGED.
Question that Affects Every One in
District, Says b. F. Lindas.

Question that Affects Every One I'm
District, Says b. f. Lindas.
An insight into the taxation system of
the District was given by B. F. Lindas,
in an address on Tax Reform in the
District" before meeting of the Lincoln
Park Citizens Association last night in
the Chapel of the Nativity.
Referring to the recent law passed by
Congress, levying a personal property
tax on the citizens of this country, the
speaker said:
This country is one of the few in
which personal property is taxed. 1t is
a tax paid by the honest and the ignor-
ant; no others have to pay it The vast
mass of personal property is neither
visible nor taxable. and thus this tax
becomes merely an additional burden
upon those least able to pay 1t.
This question of taxation" said Mr.
Lindas in conclusion, ''is more than a
question Of dollars and cents: II is like
wise great moral question and in
timately affects every man, woman ana
child in the District. By the tudicious
exercise Of the taxing power we could re-
move the plague spots from our in
habited alleys"
An address also was made by Mrs. ST.
Clair Thompson, of North Carolina ad-
vocating woman suffrage. A. resolution
was passed by the association recom-
mending the passage by Congress of Nh.
bill recently introduced by Senator Lane
which provides that two high scbooIs
instead of one be erected with the
money appropriated for a new Central
High School.
