PERFORMANCES BARRED
IN D. c. HIGH SCHOOLS
No Audiences Can Gather Until
Fire Regulations Are Com
piled With.

All theatrical performances in high
school auditoriums will be barred un-
til the fire regulations applicable to
theaters can be complied with.
This was the statement of Commfs-
sioner Oyster today following meet
which the use of high school audi
toriums was discussed with Fire
Chief Watson.
Prior to the board meeting Com
missioner Oyster and Chief Watson
We're in conference with school OFF,
cials.
Commissioner oyster stated that the
number of children in the Central
High School auditorium would be re-
s;ricted to LOCO at a time. In addi-
ton to regulating the attendance in
these auditoriums, the Commission
erS said. the school authorities would
be requested to hold fire drills for
the pupils in the auditorium as well
as in cIaSSrooms.
Chief Watson several days ago in
quired into the building regulations
governing assembly halls and found
that all such places seating more than
l,5OO people must have the sprinkler
system and standpipes with hose at
tached. The Central High School au-
ditorium seats 1900 people. and.
therefore, would come within that
regulation. 1t also would have to
have a fire curtain to meet the re-
quirements which theaters must live
up to.

AIR AT MONROE SCHOOL
AGAIN RECEIVING TEST
Previous Examination by Chemical
Experts Failed to Disclose
Harmful Condition.

Continued complaints that coal gas
escaping from the furnace at the
Monroe School is poisoning the pupils
and teachers, caused District Health
Officer Fowler today to order a
second chemical analysis of the air
in the building.
Shortly before noon today DR..
Joseph A. Murphy. supervising med
ical inspector Of the schools, accom-
panied by DR.. T. NJ Price, District
chemist, went to the school for the
purpose of taking samples of the at
mosphere in the building for che'ni-
cal examination.
The first chemical test of the air. DR..
Fowler said, showed no excessive
quantity of carbon dioxide or ANY
bad conditions. Whether the air an
aiyzed represented the best or the
worst in the school I cannot say"
The health officer said he personally
visited the school yesterday afternoon
and found nothing alarming" How
ever, he declared, Fe sent Drs. Muir
ply and Price to the school again to-
day to see if they could detect any
evidence of coal gas.

SENATORS DISSATISFIED
WITH CUT IN CAR FARE
Movement to Bring About Merger
Of Lines Receives an
Impetus.

The movement to bring about a
merger of the street railways of the
District received an impetus among
members of the Senate from the re-
cent reduction in fares ordered by the
Public Utilities Commission.
Some of the senators said today
that they believed the reduction,
which did not affect cash fares, and
which only brought about change
so that six tokens could be pur-
chased for 40 cents. was entirely in
adequate.
Senator Ball, chairman of the Dis
trict committee. and Senators Capper
and King, also members of the Dis
trict committee. declared that some
steps should be taken with as little
delay as possible to bring about a
merger of the street railways. upon
which they believe depends reduction
in fares and increased service.
Senator Ball announced that he
would offer an amendment to the bill
authorizing merger of the street
railway companies, which has already
been reported to the Senate, which
will provide that the earnings of the
street car companies in excess of {
per cent shall be taxed so per cent.
This proposal is similar to that
contained in the bill introduced yes.
terday in the House seeking to force
merger.

COURT CONTEMPT RULE
ISSUED AGAINST HAYS
Postmaster General Declared to
Have Refused to Produce
Papers in Case.

Will II. Hays, Postmaster General,
was cited today by Justice Hifz Of
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia to show cause March 10 why
he should not be adjudged in con-
tempt of court for failing to respond
to a. subpoena of the court and for
refusing to exhibit before notary
public certain affidavits in the pos
session Of tr.. Post Office Department.
Instead of appearing before the
notary, who was acting as a commits
sioner of an Ohio court, Mr. Hays
sent letter, in which he claimed
that the papers are quasi confidential
and their exhibition might prove
prejudicial to the public interest
According to Attorney Charles V.
INLAY. counsel for Miss Alice K.
Powers, who seeks the papers, Miss
Powers was employed in post office
in Green county, Ohio, and made
complaint to the postal authorities
of certain rural delivery carrier.
This carrier and two other resi-
dents of the town made afiidaTits in
the matter to the department, and
Miss Powers sued the makers of the
afiidavits in the Ohio court for libel
charging that statements rejecting
on her were made in the aflidaYits.
Mr.. Hays in his affidavit filed with
the notary declares the papers are
executive documents. We're acquired
by the department for purpose OF ad-
ministrating its affairs, are OF q qUas
Confidential nature and are to be
considered as confidential. Miss Pow
ers complained to Justice Hitz of tbs
refusal of Postmaster General Hays
and through her attorney asserted
that the reason assigned does no
justify the refusal to obey the courts
order and asked for the contempt
rule.

BROKEN WATER PIPE
CAUSES STREET CAVE-IN
Section of g Street Collapses after
Undermining When Split Length
Starts Flow.

A cave-in. resulting from a break
in a water service pipe near the curb
in front of the Western Union Tele-
graph office, at 1407 G street, occurred
this morning. Several feet under the
surface of the street there was a large
area covered with water which had un-
derminedNhe street railway track, road
way and the sidewalk.
Two policemen from the first pre-
cinct hurried to the scene. and after
an investigation 1t was disclosed that
under a small wooden platform between
the curb and the street was a broken
water pipe. from which water was
gushing Que and which had found an
outlet under the street.
Employees of the water department
rushed to the scene in response to a
police call and found the trouble
due to split in a one-and-one-half-
inch service pipe. They planned to
plug the opening with wood. but the
split was so irregular that it was
found impossible to employ such tenn
porary method of repair.
1t became necessary to cut off the
supply of water from the main long
enough to insert a new section of
pipe. Water was pumped from the
large area beneath the roadway and
car tracks, and the water department
barricaded that portion of the stree [
to vehicular traffic until street work
can be done.
District employees who visited the
scene this afternoon say it will be-
come necessary to tear up a consid-
erabie portion Of the asphalt pave
ment to fill the hollow made by the
water. The water did not And it's way
into any cellars. SO far as the police
were able to learn, and it is believed
by employees of the water department
that it found an exit in a sewer.

WORK FOR NAVY YARDS

Work by Holiday.

A resolution directing the commit
tee on naval affairs of the Senate to
investigate the possibility of provid-
ing employment for mechanics and
skilled artisans who have been en-
ployed in the navy yard, by alloca ting
to navy yards and naval factories re-
pair work and construction of all
naval craft authorized by Congress
was introduced in the Senate today
by Senator King Of Utah.
The resolution calls attention to the
fact that the cessation of construc-
ton of battleships and battle cruis-

In many cases the discharge comes
after years of faithful service to the
government.
Senator King would have all the re-
pair work and construction work on
naval craft which may not be affect
ed by the naval limitations treaty
turned over to the navy yards and
naval factories. After the proposed
investigation has been made by the
