INCREASED WATER
PRESSURE SOUGHT
FOR HIGH BUILDINGS
Business Men of Downtown.
Section to Discuss Sub
iect Wednesday.

: When business men Of the down
town section meet in the Harrington
Hotel Wednesday night to discuss the
question of asking the Commissioners
to increase the water pressure in the
business area, attention will be called
to more than score of high build
ings in which the water has to be
forced to the top floors by pumps in
the cellars.
ton the city is divided into areas ac-
cording to the height Of the various
sections above sea level. The bust
ness district south of H street Is in
what is called the gravity area.
The contention of some of the men
instrumental in calling. the meeting
is that the pressure in this gravity
area is not sufficient to force the wa
ter further than the third or fourth
floors Of many of the high buildings
downtown.
Pump and Tank Necessary.
To send the water to the floors
above these buildings have to install
pumps in the cellar and drive the wa
ter up into tanks near the roofs. From
there it is distributed to the floors not
reached by the pressure in the street
mains
At the meeting stress will be laid
upon the need for sufficient pressure
to reach the tops of the high build
ings in this downtown area for fire
protection.
Another argument advanced by
hotel man is that il the District author
ICES the construction OF an eight or nine
story building it should provide water
service for that height building.
1t is likely that the conferees
Wednesday night will consider ask
ing the Commissioners to connect the
mains in the downtown business sec
ton with the pumping station, which
pumps the water into the higher areas
of the city
Cost Would Be Considerable.
It was said at the District building
yesterday that there would be a con-
siderable cost to the water depart
ment in connecting the, gravity area,
or downtown section, with the pump
ing station to increase the pressure.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz said
one advantage Of the proposal to build
the new conduit which, the city needs
from the Patuxent river instead of
from Great Falls, is that the water
could be brought in from the Patuxent
at a higher level and therefore with
more pressure.
One man connected with a down.
town building expressed the belief
last night that the District could
provide enough pressure from it's
pumping station to supply the high
structures in the business area for
much less than it costs these build
ings to pump individually with small
apparatus.
Discussing tho advisability Of hav-
ing more pressure downtown for fre
protection. District official recalled
yesterday that a plan at one time
suggested was to construct a number
of mains from the river and pump I'M
filtered water through them for fire
hydrants only.

HUNT FOR FRATS
Principal Cook Suspects Forbid
der Organization in School
Greek Letters Painted on Steps
Are Only Clue.

Ten high school boys have been on
the carpet in the last few days in an
investigation conducted by the school
authorities to discover who painted
the embiems of Phi Sigma Delta" on
the front steps OF the high school
building last week.
Principal r. r. Cook of the high
school refused to divulge much infor-
nation on the investigation today say
ing that It would spoil some Of the
clues which the school authorities are
working on. II came out. however.
that four of the six boys implicated in
the scandal sheet investigation at
the school last spring we're among the
ten called upon the carpet IN connec-
ton with the recent painting OF the
high school steps.
Principal Cook said today that 50
far he has been unable to connect any
OF the boys under investigation with
the painting episode.
1t is the opinion OF the school au-
thorities that the painting of the steps
was one of the first activities OF a sort
OF sub-rosa fraternity organization
among some of the boys In the school.
High school fraternities are forbidden
by law in Kansas. and II II is discov-
cred that such an organization exists
in Topeka high school the members
will either be expelled or forced to
sever all connection with the fraternity.

A STATE OF War
D'AnnVnEiO Considers Relations
With Jugo-Slavs Broken.
Serbs Give Up Plan of Expedi-
ton Against Fiume.

Rome, Sept. 30.-Gabriele dan
nunzio considers that a state of war
exists between Jugo-SIavia and the
Italian forces under his command, It
was revealed today in reports of
negotiations between the poet COM
mander and the head of the French
mission at .F1ume.
D'Annunzio' had ordered a severance
of telegraphic communication between
Fiume and -Agram, the capital of
Croatia and Slavonia. The French
representative protested, insisting
communications be resumed. In re-
fusing to grant the request, dan
nunzio replied that in his opinion a
state of war existed with the Jugo-
Slavs
A dispatch from Berne to the Idea
Nazionale declares the Serbian gov
eminent was planning a military ex-
petition against d'Annunzio but at the
last moment the cabinet ministers de-
cided to hear the opinion of the chief
of staff. The latter is said to have
pointed out that Serbia was practical
ly- in a state of war With every bor-
dering people, especially Rumania,
which had mobilfzed her forces on the
Banate border. The chief Of staff also
asserted that the situation within the
new Jugo-Slav state was alarming. as
the Croatians and Slavonians were
still conducting energetic anti-Serbian
agitation. After this explanation, the
cabinet abandoned the proposed expe-
ditiOn against Fiume
