CALL WATER FRONT
CAPITAL DISGRACE
Committee Says No Other
Large City Has Such Un-
siqhtIy Conditions.

THE condition OF the water front
along the Washington channel Is ad-
mittedly disgrace to the National
Capital" the wharf committee told
the Commissioners. in its annual re-
port submitted to them today.
1T is believed that no other large
city in tn world. having comparable
water facilities. has such an insight
the report coptinues. With the ex-
ception Of the new municipal fish
market, the sand and gravel wharf,
the Norfolk and Washington steam
boat wharf and wharf No. s, prac-
tically all of the existing bulkhead
walls. wharves and buildings used for
commercial purposes were built IN a
haphazard manner by private indfvtd-
uals or corporations, with no regard
whatever to uniformttE.---...-.-----.-.--.-,,-- --.,,-
Slip Space Reduced.
1.-The existing arrangement OF the
wharves and slips reduces to great
extent the spaces that would have
been available had the water front
been developed systematically and In
accordance with a well defined plan.
"Unsightly structures should be re-
moved from time to time as leases ex-
pire, and such Objectionable uses as
coal and wood yards. lumber. boiler
and machinery stotages discontinued.
A careful inspection was recently
street between the Washington bar
racks and 14th- street, a report OF
which is on file in this Office. AS a re-
suit of this inspection 1t was found
that there are some buildings which
can now be removed, and steps are
being taken in that direction. In any
contemplated scheme Of Improvement
of the water front adequate frontage
should be reserved for steamboat
passenger and freight traffic.
I'm October, 1920, the wharf at the
foot of N street was condemned and
removed, without cost to- the District.
A fence has been constructed at this
point to protect traffic.
Opportunity is here taken to call
attention to the dila pidated, and un-
slightly. buildings now housing the
harbor police precinct and 1t is earn
estly hoped that funds may be Sc
cured to provide suitable quarters for
this police precinct as well as for the
fireboat at the new wharf under con-
struction."

The report states that buildings on
the wharf occupied by the J. Maury
Dove Company will be demolished and
the wharf site cleared as soon as
lit is vacated. This Is the only wharf
on which the lease was not renewed
this year. %,

mittee who signed the report are

Says President May
Be Lenient
DAUGHERTY AGAINST IT
His Speech PrecludeS
Possibility of Full
Pardon
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Sept. 3.-The posi-
bility that President Harding, after
the formal conclusion of peace with
Germany, may, through extension of
executive clemency, open the doors
of the Atlanta penitentiary to Eu-
gene V. Debs, the Socialist leader,
was suggested today by administra-
ton officials.
Speculation as to disposition Of
the Debs case has been widespread
in Washington for several weeks. Re-
ports were general, until a'few days
ago, although without official con-
firmation, that Attorney General
Daugherty would recommend that the
Socialist leader be pardoned, This
belief, however, was lessened and,
in some quarters, entirely dissipated
by the emphatic stand taken by Mr.,
Daugherty in his American Bar AS
sociation address on last Wednesday
against release of what be called
political offenders"
Difference In Release
Several officers on having their
attention called today to the stanc
taken by the attorney general i'm
mediately pointed out that distinc,
ton existed between a pardon anC
an extension of executive clemency
A pardon, it was explained, woulC
operate to restore Debs to the full
rights and privileges of citizenship
in addition to freeing him from pri
son, while the extension of clemency
merely would allow him his freedom

opinion that in view of the Social
list leaders advanced age and be
cause his otfenses have been held t.

question of clemenccy might be con
sidered by the attorney general anc
the President.
Assertions also were made by thes'
officials that the approximately 2Ot
offenders against the war laws nov
serving prison terms might be treat
ed apart from Debs on the question
of amnesty, many of these offend
ers, officials maintained, were con
wcted of infraction of statutes en-
acted years before the war.

Charleston, W. Va, Sept. 3.-Five

received at army headquarters here
as to the fate of the men. They were
Lieutenants Steck, pilot, and Fitz-

ed men.
Their machine was seen to go into
spin and crash to the ground by
army fiers in two other bombers.

located the scene of the accident and
found the bomber in flames with its
tail pointing upward. Several auto
mobiles were observed in the vicini
ty. The exact place where the acci-
dent occurred is not known here. The
flyers who witnessed the fall judged
from their maps that it occurred
near Poe.
The three planes started from the
landing place here for a flight to
Langley Field, Va. East of here they
ran into a thunder storm and few
minutes later one machine fell. An
other continued on and landed at
Seebert, W. Va, about 100 miles
east while the third bomber return

Army officers tonight were making
every effort to find out what hap
pened to the five missing men. They

the burned plane. The two planes
that landed safely will resume their
