Special Correspondence of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, September 25.-
Property owners and residents in the
vicinity of Cameron and Royal streets
are anxious to have the public drinking
fountain in the center of that square
moved to some other point. To that end
petition. signed by number of prop
erty owners living in this section. will
be presented to city council.
The fountain since it's erection more
than four years ago has almost con-
tinuously leaked, and. as result, the
street often is covered with water 1t
also is held to be a dangerous place for
pedestrians in winter when the water
around the fountain freezes.
Owing to the great amount of space
taken by the fountain il is difficult for fire
engines to make the turn in responding
to alarms, and it is predicted that some
serious accident is likely to occur at this
corner unless conditions are remedied.
Only a few nigths ago an automobile
collided with the fountain. The fountain
fortunately escaped injury, although the
machine was damaged
This fountain was erected April u, 1912,
and unveiled May of that year, being
a gift of the Mount Vernon Chapter,

TALLY destroyed the wooden trestle in
the Washington and Ohio railway
yards. the property of the Southern
Railway Company, which concern now
is operated on lease by the Washing
tton and Old Dominion Railway Com
pany.
The new chemical was the only en-
gine to work on the fire because of the
great distance of the treslte from a fire
plug. After working forty-fve min
utes the fire was extinguished. Hot
cinders from a passing locomotive are
thought to have been responsible for
the blaze.
At the Office of the Washington and
Old Dominion today it was stated that
traffic will not be delayed as a result
of the fire, arrangements having been
made for the use of another track for
both passenger and freight business.
The trestle will have to be practically

VAUGHAN MAY
Be QUALIFIED
Immediately
New Federal Judge May Not
Wait for Arrival of Com
mission From Capital

Unless he receives special cabled
instructions from the department Of
justice, Horace w. Vaughan will not
qualify as local United States judge
until the arrival of his commission
says that the department may wish
him to qualify at once without wait
ing for the necessary papers.
A cablegram to the StarBulletin
yesterday afternoon from its Wash
ington correspondent announced the
confirmation by the senate judiciary
committee OF the nominations of Mr.
Vaughan, Clement K. Quinn, Chief
Justice A. q. NJ. Robertson and Circuit
Judge William l.. Whitney. The NOM
ination Of J. Wesley Thompson, who
Is slated to succeed Circuit Judge
John A. Matthewman of Hawaii, has
been deferred by the senate commit
tee pending the arrival of communi-
cation from these islands.
Judge Quinn said today that no date
has been set for his qualification be-
fore the local supreme court, and
consequently he has set no date for
his departure to the Big Island. 1t
is understood that the delay in the
Thompson appointment was due to a
request by citizens of the Big Island,
who stated that they desired Judge
Matthewman to be continued in office
until he decided the Waimea water
case. This case was decided last Sat
urday, Judge Matthewman finding for
the territory.
