The Washington times., 1920-08-24

Washington women expect to use
the vote. and they are working TO
tear down every obstacle which might
Interfere with their plans. Clerks
and secretaries at the National Wom-
ans Party are kept busy these days
answering questions OF women who
hope to cast their first vote in the
coming Presidential election.
TAKE UP RAIL RATES.
One OF the important questions to
be settled, and which the National
Womans Party will take up at once
with the Democratic and Republican
committees, Is whether there will be
reduced railroad rates for women
who must travel to their places OF
residence to vote.
The question, according to members
of the Woman's Party, was put up
to railway officials in Tennessee
following the ratification of the suf-
frage amendment In the words OF
one member of the Woman's Party,
the railway officials 'just laughed
at the women and indicated that
there would be no reduction in rates.
The National Woman's Party feels
that inasmuch as there has formerly
been a custom OF allowing a reduced
rate for "out- -of-town' voters, the
custom certainly should continue ef
fective this year when there are in
Washington alone 10000 women who
must go to other States to vote.
TO BUY NEARBY HOMES.
Many Washington women are ne
gotiating for the purchase of prop
erty in Maryland and Virginia thai
they may establish a residence nea
Washington.

the Senate will have to confirm the
appointments.
VAN sCHAICK Is DISCUSSED.
Will John Van Schaick, who was
rejected by the Senate, be given a re-
cess appointment?
This question now springs into the
limelight. Van Schaick is now in
Cobleskill, n. Y, but can return TO
Washington within few hours.
Commissioner Brownlow, as District
Commissioner, also serves as mem
Der of the Public Utilities Commits
sion Neither the local government nor
this commission can function II the
President accepts Brownlows resigna-
ton and fails to name a successor.
During his five years in office
Commis issoner Brownlow has been
partly responsible for increases in
pay of firemen and policemen. He
has worked necessarily for higher pay
for District employees since the day
he took office.
His absence will be keenly regret
ted by statutory employees of the Dis
trict who were looking toward him
to appeal to Congress for higher pas
for them. Commissioner Brownlow
promised he would do everything H.
his power to have their pay raised.
OFFICIALS SWARM OFFICE.
Shortly after the announcement of
his resignation. District officials
swarmed his office to congratulate
him on his new position and express
regret at his leaving the District
service.
Clifford l.. Grant, chief OF detectives,
said today the police department
would keenly feel the loss of the COM
missioner from the District service.
He has been one of the most valu-
able Commissioners the District has
ever had" said Chief Grant. THE en-
tire department admired him, and
know all the men regret to see MIN
leave.
He has worked for years to get
us higher pay and he deserves credlt
for his unceasing interest in the well
fare of the men of this department
1t has always been pleasure TO
work under him.
PETERSBURG OFFICIALS HERE.
OFFICIALS from Petersburg were in
his office this morning when the res
ignation was announced. They Will
probably remain until word has been
received from the President.
The Petersburg offer was made
some days ago and Commissioner
Brownlow had it under considera-
tion until this morning when he
made his decision.
In that city there is a council gov
crnment composed OF five persons.
This government has legislative
powers Commissioner Brownlow
will be head of the council.
The work of the Commissioner In
Washington attracted the attention
of Petersburg officials sometime ago.
Commissioner Brownlow, as a result
of some of the decisions made in the
District building. has become known
all over the country.
His breaking up of the police
union which affiliated itself with the
American Federation of Labor gave
him widespread notoriety.

been besieged with inquiries from
women Government workers, who, not
foreseeing the day OF national sur
frage, registered as residents OF wash
ington when they took the civil serv-
ice examination, and now want TO
know II there is any way in which
they may be allowed to vote. Officers
of the Womsn's Party believe that In
such cases nothing can be done, and
that such women workers Will have
to forego the privilege Of the ballot
for this year at least.
There are other women who are
very much "peeved" because their
husbands have declared themselves
OF the District and their wives are
therefore deprived OF the ballot. In
this connection II is announced by
the Woman's Party that wife 8
residence Is always that OF her hus-
band, and that women who will go
to other states to vote should go TO
the house OF their husbands and not
their own former homes.
TO REGISTER IN BALTIMORE.
From Baltimore comes the news
that two former Washington women,
Mrs. Mary Reed Spicer and her
daughter. Miss Helen Dorothy Spicer,
were the first women in that city to
declare their intentions of becoming
residents for the purpose OF register
ing as voters under the suffrage
amendment.
Mr. Spices and his family moved
from Washington to Baltimore in
October, 1917. Miss Spicer. who was
not ~ years old when she moved 10

cgistering this fall. but Mrs. Spicer

.ANSELL BACKS
FALLS PLANS
Declares Future Needs OF City
Should Be Considered in
Power Project.

Costs and other present difficulties
should not limit the vision OF those
in authority involving the harnessing
OF Great Falls as a possible supply OF
water, light and power for the Dis
trict OF Columbia, in the opinion of
Gen. Samuel T. Ansell, former legal
adviser on matters covering civil
Jurisdiction for the War Department
and a leading authority on matters
touching upon navigable waters.
General Ansell. who has always
been a strong advocate OF developing
the water power of the country. and
has made a careful study OF the
Great Falls project. urges that IL
costs are taken into consideration at
this time, the plans may prove in
adequate in a short time. as he thinks
that the population will greatly in
crease here in the next generation.
FONTS To WATER SUPPLY.
1.-The present water supply OF the
District is that laid down by Lieuten-
ant Meigs more than sixty years ago,
and the fact that the plant had proved
it's adequacy for the needs OF the
Capital that has grown with unexpect-
ed rapidity shows the foresight and
wisdom of the author" said General
Ansell. For the last fifteen years,
however" he continued, "the neccs-
sity for providing for much larger
supply of water for the District has
been regarded as urgent.
THE hearing which began today by
the Federal Water Power Commission
involving Great Falls as a possible
source of supply of water light, and
power for the District, IL kept within
the scope of the law providing for it.
will cover a narrower field than it
ought to cover and may prove disap-
pointing.
BACKS LANGFITT PLAN.
THE Federal Water Power Act, in
one of its provisions which found its
way into the bill through the activ-
tiles of Senator Norris. authorizes the
Commission to investigate and report
to Congress the cost and economic
value of the power plant recommend
ed to be built in a report made by
General Langftt in February, 1913.
Some ten studies have been made of
the possibility of the use of Great
Falls as source of supply of water
and light and power, but l think the
Langfitt report is the most thorough.
The Langftt report looked forward
to a very liberal growth Of this city
and corresponding increase of water
and power needs, but the growth in
the intervening seven years has far
exceeded his liberal estimate. The
present population of the District is
nearer his estimate for 1880 than for
1920"
PREDICTS RAPID GROWTH.
General Ansell, whose efforts in the
War Department are in large meas
ure responsible for Congress eventu-
ally taking up the present water
power bill and passing it, thinks that
at the present rate of growth, Wash
ington will have passed the 100000
mark within a generation.
1T is to be hoped" he said, that
those in authority will have some
thing of the vision of Meigs, who
planned adequately for the needs of
the District for a period of more than
half a century. and that they will now
visualize this city as 1T will be forty
or fifty years hence and recommend
a plant that will prove adequate then
as well as now"

SCHOOL BOARD.
TOBARPUBL|C.
Dr.. Abram Simon Will Call
Closed Sessions for Ger
tain Problems.

Time consumed in executive ses-
sions OF the Board OF Education dur
ing the coming school year will be
reduced to a minimum, DIR. Abram
Simon, board president said today.
Every effort will be made to place
! in the hands of Superintendent Bal
lou school matters which in the past
have required the attention of the
school board in closed conference.
, "As general practice the abolish
ing OF closed sessions Is a good thing,
"Dr. Simon said. but there are GER
, tain matters which the board cannot
J discuss publicly. Among these are
matters which relate to the charac-
: ter of members of the school-teaching
I force.
CLOSED SESSIONS.
Last year there came before the
board at each meeting from ten to
twelve problems of a nature which
! could not in justice to those con-
cerned, be brought before the public
II believe that no more than TWO
questions should come before the
board in each executive session, the
other matters to be left to the de-
csion of the superintendent
DR.. Simon was Informed today OF
the action of the board of school com
mlSSlOnefS IN Baltimore, IN WHICH tHe
school heads abolished closed sessions.
He said he believed closer investi-
cation would show that the school
board in that city had two or three
matters. such as he pointed out which
they discussed in conference.
1T is my opinion and | believe the
thought of other members of the
board that we should not take up too
much time in executive session said
DIR. Simon. 1--WE will endeavor to re-
duce the length OF these meetings TO
a minimum"
SWAMP CENTRAL HIGH.
Central High School, the largest
and most modern high school in the
United States. is being swamped with
applications for admittance.
Attracted by the number facilities
offered at this school Washington
parents have becomed obsessed with
the idea that the best high school
education in Washington can be had
at this school.
School officials pointed out today
that Central High school viii be
overcrowded In September and they
are urging students to enter the
other high schools.
The classes in the other high
schools are much smaller than at
Central" said Harry O. Hine, Sec
retary to the Board of Education to-
day. and the teachers, therefore, have
more time to give students individual
attention.. '-E

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Bearish views
which leading packers had express
ed in regard to foreign trade led to
a decided setback today in the
value of corn Prices closed heavy
to 1Ne net lower, with May
$1.33% to $1.337s and July $1.305s
to $1.30A. Oats lost Be to Bc
and provisions SIC to 72c.
1t was bear day in the corn mar
ket from start to finish. Quota
tions failed to respond to bullish
WIS of any character. Even the
fact that receipts of corn in Chi
cago amounted to only eighty-seven
cars the smallest total in a long
time, did not inspire any important
luying. Instead, the pit gave at
tention chiefly to breaks in the hog
market and to weakness of foreign
exchange as confirming the opin-
ions of packers that owing to Eu-
u pean financial conditions lower
prices for meats were apparently
inevitable. The uncertain diplo-
matte outlook counted also to some
extent as a weight on the market.
Last prices were the lowest of the
session. p
Oats sympathized with corn
Y, eakness, Notwithstanding that the
seaboard was credited with pur-
chasing 100000 bushels of oats
in the west, largely for June-July
