L|DCLAMPED
ON PUBLICITY
U. S. Departments Explain
Statements Must Be Issued
From Central Source.

The censorship on news recently
ordered by the heads of all the Gov
eminent departments, Is due to the
coming change in Administration.
IL was said this morning by officials
Of the Government departments.
Many minor officials, Of different
political faith than the. present Ad-
ministration, it is said are trying to
attract attentiin to themselves by
giving out interviews on conditions
in the Government offices, which
the heads say are purely matters Of
policy with which, they do not agree.
The experiences during the war
have shown the heads of the depart
ments that they can obtain unity of
opinion outside the working force Of
the department. IL was said. by CIV
ing out matter for publication In the
newspapers through one channel.
This channel can be supervised more
thoroughly than can several points
ut which information for the press
II issued.
Officials of several government de-
partments and bureaus today said
that II was not the policy to prohibit
the giving of any information by the
heads OF the different bureaus to
any asking for specific informa-
ton. but that when newspapeImen
so.eat out chief clerks and other
minor officials, these officials must
adhere strictly to the facts and not
give their opinion on the conduct of
certain affairs Of certain officials.
1t was also said that much OF the
Information being given out could be
construed as political activity. and az
such a direct violation OF the rules of
the civil service. This Interpretation
has not yet been put on information
given out with the idea of 1t being
made political, but several cases have
been considered from this angle. II 10
said.
1t Is also asserted that some of the
Information given out rejecting on
the ability OF bureau heads and chiefs
of divisions Is not desirable from the
standpoint OF good working condi-
tions, because the officials assailed or
criticized do not feel kindly toward
the person o. persons making the &C
cusations. and that bad feeling in the
office results.
Quite apart from the ban on talk.
ing to newspapermen for publication,
but also relating to talking by Gov
eminent employees was the order
issued yesterday to the laborers of
the State, War and Navy Depart
ments prohibiting the n from taking
while working. The order. strictly
construed, means that no employc
Is allowed to talk to another during
working hours, and II they are seen
talking the burden Of proof is on
them to prove that they were talking
on official business" The order
created q great deal Of anus, ment
in the big Government building this
morning when 1t became generally
known and was the cause OF a
great deal Of testing by the employees

! THINKS THIRD PERSON HURT.
Coroner Peter NJ. Hoffman said to-
day he believed third person was
wounded seriously in the struggle
thought to have preceded the death
Of the women. Hoffman said that
the blood near the spot in Grant
Park where the bodies were found
yesterday, was more than could have
| been lost by the two women.
The coroner also said that an au-
topsy had revealed that the young
women had died of something taken

q matter of fact. II was said. the
anti-hazing order was passed only
after a warm debate among board
members.
This subject led to remarks that
the situation has been complicated by
factionalism among the college alum
nj association. In this connection
attention was called to the meeting
of the alumni last Saturday In the
Hotel Emerson. at which Lee ]. hecht

press as having made a bitter attack

St. Johns, though nominally a pri-
vate institution. Is supported largely
through State appropriations and q
large portion Of the students have
scholarships which cover all OF q
part OF their expenses. Many of them
are absolutely dependent upon these
scholarships for a college education.
The membership Is about 200. Haz-
ing WAS the original cause OF the
contention between the students and
the college authorities. but the mat
ter has now passed to the point
where practically absolute control of
the college must be passed to the
students IL their demands are to be
met. They demand a complete change
in the board Of visitors and govern
ors. The body which controls the in
stitution. and a change in the COM
mandant designated by the United

The board OF visitors and govern
ors will meet this evening. but its
members declare that the issue Is
now one OF whether the students or
the authorities shall control the col

Senator Dial viii Urge Water
Power Development as
Municipal Adjunct.

II am vigorously opposed TO any
interest whatsoever that will stand
in the way OF the natural water
power OF Great Falls being utilized
for the benefit OF the people OF the
District OF Columbia" Senator Ma
thaniel b. Dial OF South Carolina
declared today.
OPPOSED TO DELAY.
Believing that residents OF the
District should be supplied with cleo
tric power for all purposes through
a great central plant. which wouid
cut down the cost to the consumer
Senator Dial Is one member OF the
Senate who does not see the need
If further delay in putting the
electro-hydraulic project into imme-
diate effect.
When the question comes before
Congress at the next session, Senator
Dial declared he could be counted
upon to support any feasible plan
projected by the Water Power Com
mission that would work to the ad-
vantage OF the public.
A director himself In several cleo
tro-hydraulic projects In his native
State. Senator Dial has some ideas OF
his own about constructing such q
plant In the District OF Columbia. He
cautioned against building a dam out
Of all proportions TO the size OF the
river. declaring that nature takes
care OF the seasonal flow of water.
CHEAPER THAN COAL.
ELECTRICITY Is cheaper than coal

of Washington should be heating
their homes by electricity. cooking
by II. washing by 1t and doing every
thing else by II that people are doing
In some other sections of the coun-
try. They even milk cows by cleo
tricity in Chicago" he declared.
Senator Dial believes there Is far
more water power connected with
Great Falls in the upper Potomac
than Is really needed for all the re-
Quirements OF the residents of Wash
ington and the Government as we'll
Referring to the prediction OF En-
gineer J. II. lowering that power
could be developed at Great Falls
for a cost of 500 a horsepower,
Senator Dial said that anything like
that cost would be an exceedingly
low figure.
"In our section of the country" he
said. even 5000 horse power has
proved a profitable investment I
think that of itself the demand here
and the opportunities for developing
the city require that this power be
utilized"
FIGHTS MORE SURVEYS.
Senator Dial sees no necessity for
further surveys of the Great Falls
project. THE thing to do is TO go
ahead now without any more delay
and establish a plant that will mean
certainly a cheaper rate to the people
Of the District and far better serv.

night by Governor Richie to q com

ON him at the Executive Msnsions
The students asked that the dow

mittee to investigate certain condi-
tions at the college to which the stu
dents object and which, they say,
should be eliminated. The Governor
told them that some time ago he had
requested the General Education
Board to survey all the Maryland
colleges. Only q few days ago. he
said. DR.. Abram Fiexn,r. head OF the
board. notified him that the board
,ould send representatives to Mary
land to do this work as soon as
possible. This may be. within the
next month.
OPENS THE WAY.
When these representatives come,
Governor Ritchie told the students.
an investigation will be made which
will be OF the nature the students
desire and much more thorough and
made by q committee named by the
governor. The members of the com
mittee which called on the governor
seemed to feel that this proposed
Investigation would satisfy the de-
mands OF the students and that the
prospect OF II opens way for the
graceful return OF the student body
which walked out yesterday.
The feeling OF the members of this
student committee seemed to be last
night one of certainty that the gem
show up the conditions of which they
complain, and they can now return
and be content to await the results
Of that investigation. In this case,
the board OF governors of the college
will not have to recede from It's posi-
ton, the students will return and
everything will be settled, without
the loss Of dignity by either the
governors or the students.
The optimism WAS not shared by
