BUSY ABOUT BoATHoUsEs.
Weather of Past Week Has Stimu.
lated River Traffic.

The hot weather has caused pleasure
craft owners to again turn to the
water for pleasure and instead of
thinking about laying their boats up.
most of them are contemplating trips
on the river as long as possible. Yes
terday afternoon was a busy time
about the lighthouses and pleasure
craft berthing places, as the owners
made their vessels ready for runs down
the river. Some few left yesterday aft
ernoon for over Sunday-visits to points
along the river, but the majority of the
boats will not leave here until this
morning and will make short runs
down the river to return tonight. Only
the owners of the larger craft, that
are equipped with means for heating
their boats, are prepared to stay down
river these nights. which on the water
are often too cool for comfort.
The steamer Southland, which left
here yesterday evening for Old Point
and Norfolk, and the steamer North
land, which sailed at pm. yesterday
for landings in the lower river and
Baltimore, both had large passenger
lists for over Sunday trips. Those who
went on the Baltimore boat will reach
that city in time to return home to-
morrow morning early and those who
went to Old Point and Norfolk can re-
turn home on the steamer leaving those
points this evening and arriving here
tomorrow morning.

of Mines.

The government has withdrawn from
it's contract with the Aetna Explosives
Company to furnish not less than $780,

Joseph Johnston, British Wis.,
itor, Has Been Studying
Municipal Governments.
LACK OF FRANCHISE HERE
A CAUSE OF AMAZEMENT
Cannot Understand Why People Of
Capital Submit to Loss
of Vote.

Joseph Johnston, a distinguished Eng
lishman, who has been visiting in
Washington the last week, as a guest
and who has been making a study of
American governmental organization,
said to a representative of The Star,
with whom he discussed his studies,
that he is highly impressed with the
new city manager" form OF govern
ment, recently successfully organized
and administered at Dayton and
Springfield, Ohio, and number of other
American cities.
Mr.. Johnston will make a report to
that effect to Dublin University and the
University of London. He is fellow
of Dublin University and he is the pres
ent holder of what Is called the trav-
cling fellowship of the University of
London. He left Washington yester-
day for home, by way of New York,
marked that he has been especially i'm
pressed with the efficiency and dis
patch with which big questions are
handled in the administrative depart
ments of the United States govern
ment."
Best Suited to Democracy.
Speaking of the city manager" form
of government in the United States, as
compared with communal systems in
Latin countries, especially with the
.prefectorial form Of government in
France, Mr.. Johnston thinks the 'city
manager" form not only more efficient.
but best suited to American institu-
tions and conceptions of democracy.
Mr.. Johnston said he was greatly In
terested in what he called the enigma
of government in Washington"
He said he was unable to understand
how it was possible for Americans to
permit themselves to be deprived of the
right of suffrage simply because they
had elected to become residents of the
nations capital.
He said in this connection: while
the government of Washington is pos
sibly very efficient under the District
Commissioners, I cannot comprehend.
however, why the President and the
Congress of the United States should
be vested with the right to constitute
the municipal government, and deny
the taxpayer all right of participation.
Even in France, republic under a
very much more highly centralized ma
tional control, the voters of Paris have
the power of electing the municipal
council-the national government only
interfering by the appointment of the
two national projects, or central may
ors,' as they are sometimes called in
Paris"
Comparison Of Systems.
When asked how he thought the gov
ernment of great American cities, like
New York and Chicago, compared with
that of London, Mr.. Johnston said,
There is room for improvement in
both.
