Under typical Western front sky,

yesterday swept the field at Camp
Meade, crashing through enemy
positions, followed by twenty baby
tanks of six tons and by infantry
men, keeping UP a steady fire. The
objective was the srest OF a hill, and
the tactical problem. involving the
mopping up of supposed machine
gun nests, was laid out by Colonel
Eskeridge, of the tank school.
All the maneuvers were directed
by sergeant posted in a baby tank
with wireless communications with
headquarters. The demonstration
was witnessed by students at the
camp and by an interested group OF
officials and visitors from Washing.

FINED FOR HITTING DRIVER
HE DOES NOT RECALL

1t may be a novel scheme to save
money to punch your taxi driver
in the jaw when he asks for the
fare, but Judge Mattingly, of the
Police Court, does not approve it,
and William Mcpherson, colored,
who used this method on James
w. Carr, a white taxicab chauffeur,
will spend thirty days in jail.
Carr testified that the colored
man with the Scotch cognomen en-.
ragged his taxi to drive him around
a number of places and that when
he asked him for his fare after
depositing him on the doorstep of
his home MACPHERSON gave him a
lusty punch in the jaw.
The accused said the whole thing
was news to him; that he had
never ridden in the taxi and that
Il must have been someone else
who tried to palm off on Carr a
jawbreaker for a dollar, the amount
of the fare.

chanan to Alaska and Georgia ave
nues II the Commission thought such

s. r. Bowen, vice president of the

clared that II the service on Georgia
avenue was insufficient, the Com.
mission had the power to order more
cars run and that in the event the
Commission should see fit to do so
the company was ready and willing
to comply with such orders.
Bowen requested that IL an exten.

D. c. SUPPLY
Of WATER IS
OVERTAXED
Capacity Of District Has
Been Misused for Three
Years.

That the safe capacity Of the Dis
trict of Columbia's water supply sys-
tenn has been overtaxed for the last
three years was shown in figures sub
mitted by Max C. Tyler. United
States engineer officer in charge Of
the Districts water supply, to the
War Department for the fiscal year
ended June 80 last.
The District of Columbia, he point
ed out, was dependent upon its water
on a single line of supply which, on
account of the amount of water It is
carrying, cannot be maintained prop
erly. This condition could not be I'M
proved until additional facilities were
provided. He is preparing a supple
mental report in regard to a project
for increasing the water supply, CIV
ing revised estimates of cost, etc, for
next session OF Congress.
The daily average consumption Of
water in 1922 was shown to be a
little less than that of the preceding
three years. Figures showed that
in 1922, 63,710,000 gallons were used
daily; In 1921, 64,490 900 gallons; in
1920, It was 66,750,000 gallons, and
in 1873 an average of 65,260 900
gallons Of water was maintained.
Major Tyler said the total ex-
penditure on the entire system
from Great Falls to the filtration
plant near Soldiers Home, to June
80. last, was $14,S2S,0S7 S11, ,493, 100
of which was expended for construc.
ton and the remainder for main
tenance and operation.

Ernest Hitaffe and William +.
Washington, two young men, roomed
together, and the latter needed some
ready cash to buy medicine. He
gave his friend Hitaffe his watch
and told him to pawn 1t and bring

Washington today testified in the
Police Court that Hitaffe never came
back with the money or the watch.
Hitaffe said he forgot all about the
watch. which he said he had taken

When arrested, the police found
the watch In Hitaffe's possession.

days In jail, which will teach you

FOR
s TREETS .
HARD HIT.
Commissioners viii Strive to
Retain Items for Repair
of Highways.

The pairing knife of the District
Commissioners, being. used to
slash several million dollars from
the District estimates, will strike
every District government de-
partment a hard blow.
Particularly will the. item for
new streets be affected, for Gen.
H. M. Lord, director of the
budget, is understood to have or
dered that this item be cut Sc
verely.
The Commissioners are finding
It difficult to pare down the esti-
mates by eliminating improve
ments which could possibly wait
. year or two, probably more.
May Retain These Items.
The Commissioners are especially
desirous Of retaining such items as
these:
Repairs of streets.
New equipment for the District
Fire Department.
Increase in force and equipment
Of the police department.
Increase in pay Of statutory en-
ployes of the District, which en-
ployes have not received q pay
raise in more than thirty years.
The conditions of the streets in
Washington are such that the Com
missioners believe II would be crimi-
nal to neglect them further.
. The lack Of equipment in the fire
department is daily threatening to
, become so serious as to interfere
with the proper operation of the de-
partment. The department is not
completely motorized and has no
reserve equipment. A breakdown
of any great number of motor ap-
paratus would seriously interfere
with the fire fighting force. At the
time of the Knickerbocker disaster
. seven pieces of motor apparatus be.
: came disabled. The Commissioners
: point out that such a condition may
I come at any moment and they are
practically unprepared to meet 1t.
To Cut On Schools.
The Commissioners feel that the
District statutory employees have suf-
fered long enough with low pay,
most Of them receiving less than ST.
. 900 a year. Every effort will be
made to retain the $500. 900 providing
pay increases for these employees.
The public school estimates, 1t is
said, will be slashed considerably.
This probably will be done by elimi-
mating the provisions for new
schools.
The Commissioners have been in
structed to pare the estimates about
100000, bringing them down to
. S24. 500, 900.
A conference by the Commission
ers will be held this afternoon to go
over the estimates.
Other conferences with department
heads are being held for the pur-
pose of eliminating items from the
! budget.
Items for parks probably will be
eliminated entirely.
