This improvement is one that the
| people of Fort Lee, Coytesville and
Englewood Cliffs have been anxious
to secure for some time and has been
made by the company in response to
popular demand for a through line to
! Edgewater, which, in connection with
the Riverside and Fort Lee ferry, will
give rapid and frequent service to
| New York city.
Cars on the new line will be sched-
uled at ten minute intervals between
the hours of and 9 a. m. and and
D. m. and at fifteen minute intervals
during the remainder of the day, and
the time table provides for direct con-

THIRD OF D. C. STAFF
TO GET PAY RAISES
step-Up in Salary of Classified
Workers Agreed by
Committee.

Approximately one.third OF the
classified employees of the District Gov
ernment will receive a step-up in sal
ary within the next few weeks in
accordance with the appropriation
act for the current fiscal year, the
District personnel committee an
nounced toay.
The committee also decided as a
matter of policy to give one step-up
to all employees rated IS per cent or
over in eficiency before giving more
than one step-up to any worker.
Mai. Donovan explained that in
some of the departments the number
of employees to be given increases
will have to be curtailed because
part of the money allotted to those
departments for increases has already
been absorbed by re-allocating en-
ployes to higher basic sa'aries.
Engineer Commissioner EEL, who
attended the conference of The com
mittee this morning, said it probably
would not be possible to put toe step
up increases into effect until the pay
day at the end of July.

Mercury Climbing as Upper

No Relief in Sight.

Washington is suffering from an at
tack of heat Stagnation in the upper
atmosphere that is likely to keep the
populace sweltering for some little
time to come, according to Forecaster
r. Hanson Weightman, who will do
the prognosticating at the Weather
Bureau during July.
Scan as he did the maps today. Mr..
Weightman could discover nowhere a
rifle on the horizon significant of re.
lief, and he finally had TO settle back
in his chair, turn on the electric fan
and predict mounting temperature
for today.
BY o'clock this afternoon, he be-
lieves the mercury will have hit the
general vicinity of the 94.degree mark
about points higher than yesterdays
mark OF so. There is a possibility of
local thundershowers tomorrow after.

turbance is not expected to alter the
general temperature.
Gentle southerly breeZes tonight
may aid perspiring citizens to sleep
off their discontinue, the forecaster
states. AS was the case this morning
the temperature probably will drop
to about 73 degrees early tomorrow.
"All in all, this weather is not un-
seasonable," Mr.. Weightman declared
today. Warm and sticky weather
is always prevalent at this time of
the year. and Washington is not alone
in this respect. l don't think we have
anything to complain of. 1t might be

Cool i'm Clouds.
The coolest place about Washington
today was found to be 10000 feet
above the city, according TO the
aerometeorograph which Is making
daily upper air soundings in a Navy
landplane for the information of the
Weather Bureau.
With the temperature at the ground
about 80 degrees, Lieut.. c. d. Palmer
of the Naval air station at Anacostia

plane. At 5000 feet the instrument
recorded a temperature of 63 degrees

SANITARY SURVEY
OF RIVER IS BEGUN
Steps to Make Water Safe
for Bathing to Be Taken
If Condition Permits.

Survey of the waters of the Potomac
River near Washington TO determine
what steps, If any, may be taken to
render the river safe for bathing is
now beginning by the United States
Public Health Service. The survey,
which is to be made with the CO.
operation of the District health officer,
DIR. William c. Fowler, will be in
charge of Assistant Sanitary Engineer
A. +. Allen, who has just come to
Washington to have charge of the
work, under the direction of Surg.
Gen. Cumming.
DIR. Allen, who will give his whole
time and attention to the survey of
the Potomac, has established his head
quarters at the Hygienic Laboratory
of the Public Health Service, where
the samples of the river water will
be tested for bacteria and pollution
He will confer Immediately with DIR.
Fowler, and with the District engineer
and other officials who may be of as
sistance in carrying on the survey.
viii Report to Congress.
Samples of the river water will be
taken and tested until the middle of
September. The engineering prob
lens relating to the disposal of sewage
and the minimizing of the river pol
luton also will be studied by DR..
Allen. When the survey has been
completed a report will be compiled
with recommendations. This report
will be available for Congress when 1t
tackles the problem of adequate out
door public bathing facilities for the
people of the District of Columbia.
DIR. Allen has had wide experience
during his connection with the Public
Health Service in problems of river
pollution. He was ordered back here
from Texas by the Surgeon General
to have charge of the survey here.
If it is possible to reduce the river
pollution through the better disposal
of sewage now emptying into it so
that the river may be safe for bathing
purposes from a sanitary point of
view, the problem of outdoor bath
ing would largely be solved for Wash
ington. Public bathing beaches along
the river, with proper life guards and
bath houses, could be established at
a comparatively small cost. II 1t is
found that the river cannot be used,
then Congress will have to turn to
the establishment of artificial pools,
filled with filtered water. But the pur-
pose of the survey now starting Is TO
place the fullest information in the
hands of Congress when it undertakes
to establish bathing beaches for the
people here.

Henderson to inspect Pearl Harbor,
told the correspondent after five days
of careful investigation of the naval
and military defenses of this strongly
fortified island of the Oahu, on which
Honolulu, Pearl Harbor and numerous
forts are located.

Denies Oil Tanks Ruined.
Mr.. Stephens spiked the widely
circulated reports that the Doheny-
constructed oil tanks were ruined by
corrosion. The committee visited the
tanks, which are said, with those con-
structed earlier, to provide the largest
oil reserves storage in the world, hav-
ing a capacity of 5000 900 barrels.
The tanks were tested with salt water
on completion and not all the water
was drained out, resulting in corrosion
which visiting newspaper CORE
spondent has described as ruinous.
The committee found one thirty-sec-
ondth of an inch corrosion, which is
easily removable with a hammer, dis
closing the perfect metal underneath
No material damage has been done
and closing a small aperture will
probably assure their remaining
sound, but the Congressmen believe 1t
is preferable to fill all the tanks with
oil. Mr.. Stephens favors acceptance
of the Doheny offer to fill the tanks,
but the Governments attorneys insist
their case against Doheny would thus
be prejudiced. They hope for an
agreement of counsel and court
order for filling the empty tanks, with
capacity of 100000 barrels Doheny-
built tanks of 55,000-barrel capacity
are already filled with reserve oil and
are not corroded.
Money Need Apparent.
Inspection of Pearl Harbor con-
vinced the committee of the wisdom
of authorizing the expenditure of
$6,000.000 for deepening, widening and
Strengthening the channel to permit
the largest battleships to enter the

affairs committee of the last Congress.

CORPUS CHRISTI. Tex. July g.
A political feud of long standing be-
tween two factions is believed to have
inspired the shooting here last night
which took the lives of three peace
officers and wounded two other men.
Paul McAllister, a deputy State game,
fish and oyster commissioner. and
former policeman; c. NJ. Bisbee, con-

Three Rivers, Tex, and George
Ryder of San Diego, Tex, were Sc

The five men appear to have met
by accident at the entrance to a
roadhouse near the city. and there
the shooting began. McAllister was
killed on the spot. Bledsoe and
Bisbee died several hours later.
Bledsoe or McAllister are believed
to have started the firing. They
were found lying in the road only. a
few feet from each other. McAllister
had been shot through the heart.
His revolver had been fired only
once. Bledsoe had three bullet
wounds.
