Thousands See Spectacle
Several thousand spectators were
attracted by the blaze, which rose
high in the air after burning
through the roof of the laundry,
showering sparks on adjoining
buildings.
The first alarm was turned in
at 1858 o'clock this morning. When
the first apparatus arriver, how

rapid Roadway that a. second and
soon afterward a third alarm was
sounded.
The laundry, with wooden floors
and roof timbers, proved a finder

through the roof and windows.
Laundry machinery on the first
floor was but little damaged.
THE loss is entirely covered by
insurance" declared Joseph B. Glib

Coal Merchants Secretary
Expects Attorney General
to o. K. System

Attorney General Sargent will
give detailed consideration to. pro-
posed plans for dealing with a
possible anthracite emergency in
Washington upon his return to
the city next Friday.
Decision Kept Secret
The decision of the Department
of JUSTICE with regard to the legal
ity Of the plan proposed by the
Washington Coal Merchants Board
OF Trade for dealing with the sit
uation already has been reached,
but will not be announced until
approved by Attorney General Sar-
gent, it was learned today.
The plan proposed by the Coal
Board of Trade involves a restric-
ton of quantity in sale or distrfbu
ton and in some respects involves
possible restraint of trade and yio-
1ation Of the Clayton antitrust law.
For this reason the coal merchants
distributing committee thought it
advisable to lay the matter before
the Department of Justice in adj
vance of its adoption or publica-
ton.
Jesse C. Suter, secretary of the
Coal Merchants Board Of Trade.
today expressed confidence that At
torney General Sargent would
approve the plan that has been
developed, but said he had re-
ceived no information on the
subject.

WATERWAY
PLANNED
MARYLAND Financiers interest
ed in Canal to Cut Distance
Between Cities

Construction of a fortyfoot canal
from Washington to the Severn
river and Chesapeake bay, as
means of cutting down the water
distance between Washington and
Baltimore, is under consideration
by a group of Maryland financiers,
it was learned today.
The office Of the CHIEF OF engi-
neers Of the army will be asked
to survey the proposed route and
to furnish an opinion as to the
feasibility Of the plan, 1t Is stated.
The canal. which would follow,
in a general direction, the course
of the Defense highway FROM
Washington to Annapolis, would re.
suit in a reduction of from 200
miles to less than so miles of the
distance by water from Washing
ton to Baltimore and would mate.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1925-09-01

is through low. marshy country,
which could be utilized with min
imum of dredging. This treatment
would also result in reclamation OF
large areas of valuable farming
land, it is said.
The canal distance to the Sew
ern river, it is estimated, will be
about twenty-five miles and the
distance to Annapolis about thirty
miles. The canal would open a
market for many miles of farming
country and would result in re-
duction of shipping costs to Wash
ington of products shipped into
the harbor OF Baltimore Il ID

Although Haney has refused to
resign, it was pointed out today
that the President can readily re-
move him from the board by ne
glecting to nominate MIN for the
position he now holds when recess
appointments are sent to the SEN
ate for confirmation in December.
Row In Congress
This move, however, would mean
that the whole, shipping row. would
be thrown directly into Congress,
where there already has been some
discussion of suggestions for the
abolition Of both the Shipping
Board and the Fleet Corporation.
Haney's first appointment to the
Shipping Board was made during
the Harding administration and he
was given a recess appointment last
June by President Coolidge He
has several times moved in meet
ings of the Shipping Board for the
resignation of Admiral Palmer, but
Is understood to have received no
active support.
Palmer Supported
Mr.. Coolidge has steadfastly
backed up Palmer in his battles
with Chairman O-Connor of the
Shipping Board and has indicated
that he will continue this policy
even to the extent Of eliminating
those who oppose Palmer's views.
Haney charges that the American
merchant fleet has decreased in
size and that the service has de-
Perforated under Palmer's direction.

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, Sept. l.
President Coolidge does not look
with favor upon the proposal that
the minimum wage for Govern
ment employees be increased to
$1,000, it was indicated here today.
$500, it was indicated here today.
He sees no justification for IN
creasing wages of those now re-
ceiving the minimum of $72O
annually by more than 100 per
cent.
He feels that very generous in
creases already have been MADE
where they were warranted.

FIRST LINK.
The Anacostia river would form
the first link of the waterway,
according to the plans. The canal
would cross the Patuxent river at
Priest bridge and would enter the
North river valley and cross to
Little Round Bay creek and Little
Round bay, an arm of the Severn
river six miles above Annapolis and
i'm the Herald Harbor area.
Crossing the Severn, the water
way would be carried through Sui

land less than a mile wild" into
Cypress creek and the Magothy
river, just below the mouth of the
Patapsco, on which Baltimore Is
located.
The names of the hackers of the
plans could not be learned today,
but it is understood that a fairly
thorough private survey of the
proposed site has been made and
that efforts will be made soon to
enlist the support of sufficient cap
ital to finance the plan.
