100000 SOUGHT
FOR new SEWERS
Estimates for 1924 Will Be
Largest Sum Ever Asked
of Congress.

In an effort to correct bad sewage
and drainage conditions existing In
all sections of the city, the sewer
department will ask for more than
$2,000.000 in the new book Of estf-
mates, 1t was reliably learned last
night. l
This is by far the largest sum
ever requested by the sewer depart
ment, but. officials believe they will
abe able to justify tt BY o recitation
of the prevailing situation.
A year ago the sewer department
asked Congress for Approximately
s1.5oo,e0o and got ss56.0ee for the
fiscal year. beginning today.
storm showed Needs.
A few weeks ago a. storm hit
Washington one Saturday night and.
when the rain had ceased pouring.
parts of Anacostia and Benning were
under water and two persons had
been drowned. other neighborhoods
have been less seriously affected by
heavy rains.
A desire to prevent recurrence
of the disaster is one reason for the
higher, estimate for next year An
other reason is the fact that the
lump sum for running sewer pipes
to new dwellings, has been so in
adequate in the past that there is
more work already ordered by the
Commissioners than the sewer de-
partment will be able to do during
the coming twelve months.
The current appropriation for
these house connections is $150,000.
The sewer department will ask for
approximately $450,000 for next
year. A large percentage Of this
money is returned to the Treasury
in the form of assessments levied
against the property benefited.
Rock Creek Project.
The sewer estimates also include
request for funds to complete the
Rock Creek interceptor all the way
to the District line to free Rock
Creek of pollution that now flows
into It.
There are other items in the sewer
estimates to continue work on the
interceptors being constructed to
keep sewage out of the upper Poto-
mac and Anacostia rivers.
From figures available thus far ii
Is apparent that the total estimates
submitted to the Commissioners by
all department chiefs will certainly
equal and may exceed the aggregate
of s31,500,o00 submitted last year.
Federal Items Included.
1t should be remembered, however
that the Commissioners estimates
include a number of large items that
come from federal departments
These outside items go into the Dis
trict budget because they are charge
able 60 per cent to local taxpayers
For instance. there probably will
be approximately $1.5o0.oo0 submit
ted by the War Department for con-
tinuing work on the new water con-
duit being built from Great Falls.
Other federal estimates, that help
to swell the total of the Districts
budget are: For maintenance Of the
public parks under Col Sheriff.; for
upkeep of the National Geological
Park: for the reclamation of the
Anacostia flats and for the Rock
creek and Potomac parkway COM
mission.
When these outside activities are
deducted, therefore. there is consider
ably less than sao.ooo.ao left In the
District budget for such municipal
needs as streets. sewers. water mains
and schools. ~

InSSgyw Of the fact thai Congress
had no Intention of interfering with
international commerce to the extent
of closing the Panama canal to rum
laden vessels merely because the
United States chooses to bar all in
toxicating liquors in its own terri
tory. the government officials here
feel that Congress had no inte ntion of
barring from New York harbor for
eiEn vessels having on board liquors
protected by the customs seals of
their respective countries.
Knowing the extent of the senti-
ment here in Washington in favor
Of a modification of the law to meet
nevertheless, has no choice but to
go ahead and enforce the law to the
letter. 1t is not to be wondered that
the officials are going about the
task with a lack of enthusiasm bor-
dering almost upon reluctance.
There Is no indignation in Wash
ington ofiicialdom at anything that
has been said or done by the British
thus far in the rum dispute. The
position here is that there has been
no fault on either side. The British
and French had right to test the
sentiment in this country. There is
every reason to believe that in some
manner word was conveyed to the
foreign governments that perhaps
the United States would wink at the
presence. OF sealed liquors on board

ference. The mere printing OF that
report was enough to condemn 1t.

Funds InsuMcient.

- With the wage increases going into
effect Immediately. 1t was pointed out
that the appropriations allotted for
work in the Washington navy yard
for the fiscal year beginning today
are not sufficient to- carry the yard
through the year without deficiency
at the rates Of wages ordered by the
Navy Department.
The orders to the clerical force for
two-day-leave periods with the spe-
cific information that discharges
would be made at the end of the two
week period caused much CONSERVATION
among the clerks, whom. 1t was first
believed, would not be affected by the
necessity Of cutting.
The fact that discharges will have
to be made and the information con-
veyed to the clerks will likely keep
the clerical forces considerably upset
during the next two weeks, as no one
will know just where the job-slicing
ak will fall. All Of the leave, of
course, will have to be without pay,
and the step Is taken In order that
the yard officials can assure them
selves that while working out the
number 1t will be necessary to dis
charge they will not use up funds
which will be needed later in the
year.

DEMPSEY MILLIONAIRE
 IN PROPERTY RIGHTS

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22. - Things are not like they used to be in boxing. The venerable pugilist of the old days was accustomed to retire and start a pool hall or become proprietor of a flourishing cigar stand or, possibly, engage couple of men wearing white aprons to stand behind the mahoany and pour in behalf of parched cus- toners.
 The modern pugilistic champion does things differently. Take Jack Dempsey, heavyweight title holder, for instance. The other day he went East in search of more bouts, but before de- parting this city he bought an apart ment house that cost $350,000. This accomplished one of the champions s ambitions-he became proprietor of a cool million dollars worth of Los Angeles real estate The house he purchased for his mother is said to be worth s2OO,OOO.
 Unless something decidedly unfore- seen happens they never will have to hold benefit for Dempsey in his old age.

Chicago motorists are well trained batch. Seldom do they dis obey the signals of the traffic squad, which operates in a way strange to most cities. In Chicago the traffic policeman stands on the corner or behind an elevated railway stanchion where he can see without necessarily being seen. At blast of his whistle traffic moves east and west. Another blast and 1t goes north and south All this and you never see the policeman.
 Until you disregard the whistle Then you see and hear him, too.

Then again some slicker, wise to the ways of the police, scribbles other hours on his roof or alters the figures put there. But the mounted police (they always get their man, remember) are sort ot slick themselves. They have always ways of diskuising their writing and detecting alterations.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-The small boy who draws pictures and scribbles aphorisms on dusty window panes may grow up in Chicago to be a dashing, mounted traffic policeman.
 The mounted police, who recklessly ride their spirited animals into where the whirlpools of steel and tires are thickest downtown, have devised 2 cunning scheme to catch mapping motorists who disregard the time for parking.
 Up and down Michigan Boulevard these blue centaurs ride, taking note of each motor car when it is parked. The horse leaves the officer just high enough to reach the top of an averaged automobile. With ease they scribble the time of parking to minute in the dust atop the ma, chine. It's all very easy, because the tower clock on the Wrigley Building, visible up and down the Boul' Mich, makes undressing to get at a watch unnecessary.

Female Federal prisoners haze,
IN the past, been fGTnaed out to
State penitentiGries and county
jciLs, aOhich are 1oaO closed to them
on account of the increase IN male
prisoners. The Federal peniteT-
tiuries, aVhich also are OUercTo1Od-
ed aUith male prisoners, are not
equipped to accommodate aO0men
prisoners.
A bill is pending in Congress to
proUide for the establishment OF
a United States industrial home
for Uonsen" to remedy this situG-
ton.
By Mrs. Mabel Walker WiIIebrandt,
Assistant Attorney General of the United
States.
written for Cosmopolitan News Service.
The prison problem cannot be
successfully met if men and women
are confined in the same instttu-
tons. as they are today.
Women have so much to over
come in any prison in the way OF
changing old habits and building
up new inhibitions that penologists
are coming to understand that they
should not be subjected to the emo
tional interference that comes from
the proximity of the sexes.
The Federal Government has no
place Of its own in which to place
women prisoners.
The three Federal penitentiaries,
Atlanta, Leavenworth and Mcneil
Island, are designed for men only,
and care for men only.
The Federal Government has
been obliged to farm out its women
prisoners to State penitentiaries
and county jails and reformatories.
We have, in the entire country,
a standing average OF about 300
female Federal prisoners they may
be classed as follows: Bootleggers
those who actually bootleg, those
who act as camouflages in automo-
bile transportation of liquor. and
the wives Of bootleggers who assist
their husbands; violators Of the
Mann act; violators of the Dyer
act-interstate automobile thievery;
accomplices in bank defalcations-
usually the stenographer Of the
absconding cashier; bank thieves
women accomplices or sweetheArts;
women bank cashiers who go
wrong; women postal law violatore
clerks who pilfer the mail, and
blue-sky operators who use the
mails to defraud; violators Of the
anti-narcotic law and narcotic drug
addicts who ask to be imprisoned
in order to get away from the drug.
These latter generally are of bet
ter class of women.

and counties for caring for these
