WILL STUDY PLANS
FOR H|GH-PRESSURE
Commissioners to Take Up
Fire Main Proposal When
Working on Budget.

When the District Commissioners
start within the next month to pre-
pare the next annual budget they will
give careful consideration to the ad
visibility of asking Congress at the
next session for a system of high
pressure water mains to improve fire
protection in downtown Washington.
Engineer Commissioner Bell is in
favor of the project, but he has not
made up his mind whether it will be
possible to seek the initial appropri-
alton in the next estimates.
That is a project Washington
should have as soon as it can be af-
forded," Col Bell said. The only
question is whether ii can be asked
for now"
The Engineer Commissioner indi-
Gated that the amount to be sought
FOR new projects, such as the pro
posed high-pressure system viii de
pend upon what figure is decided on
as total for the entire local budget.
Urged for Years.
The question of installing high
pressure fire hydrants in the down
town section has been under discus
Sion for number OF years, but thus
far has remained among the list of
Nashington'S deferred needs.
In considering high pressure this
year the city heads will have before
them as a basis for discussion a ten
tative plan prepared several years ago
by j. s. Garland, superintendent of
the Water Department.
This report placed the estimated
cost of a high pressure system at
81 800, 900. For that sum Mr.. Garland
figured on having the high-preSsure
area extend from First to Eighteenth
and from to l streets, which would
take in practically all of the large
buildings in the center of the city.
His report provided for the estab-
lishment of a pumping station on the
river front at about the foot of
Twelfth street southwest. which
would draw water direct from the
river and distribute it through a sys-
tenn of mains covering the territory
outlined above.
Plans 300-POund Pressure.
Engineer Commissioner Bell. in dis
Cussing the project, said he felt it
would be desirable, not only for fire
protection, but as a means of flush
ing and washing the streets down
town in Summer without drawing on
filtered drinking water for such pur-
pose.
The plan outlined by Mr. Garland
contemplated a possible pressure in
these mains in the low area of the
city of 800 pounds. with 27O pounds
at the higher level. He observed in
his report that in some cities where
800 pounds of pressure existed, that
they were rarely ever called upon to
use more than 200 pounds in fighting
fire.
The amount of pressure at the
hydrants during a fire could be regu-

Security Key to Problem

problem between France and Germany

be resorted to- however, he added, "ex-
cept as a result of an agreement

cepted and adhered to.

a reasonable minimum" continued
Gen. Bliss, sufficient for the mainte-
nance of peace and order within the
state, but insufficient to tempt the
state almost without warming to at
tack similarly placed neighbor, such
armaments might play real part In
the maintenance of peace.
THE first step will be taken when
we admit, whether we like 1t or not,
that the world is an association of
states having common interests"
Admiral Rodgers warned that in Eu-
rope population has pressed more
closely upon means of support than
with us; character there has been
formed by fighting with man more
than with nature; mutual helpfulneSS
is not so characteristic as with us.
Never Adequately Prepared.
Although never adequately pre-
pared for war, he said, the American
people are both militant and senti-
mental, and 'if either our sympathies
or interests are adversely touched by
foreign power we shall commit the
country to war rather than sacrifice
sentiment" The new immigration
law should please every pacifst," he
asserted, since 1t "retards growth OF
population and in so far it hinders
the growth of an aggressive spirit in
our people" Admiral Rodgers quoted
as an appropriate parody:

quarrel just, but four times he who
puts his fist in fuSt"

RULING ON G. 8 p. TELE-
PHONE RATES

The State Public Service Commits
sion ON Monday rejected the plea
Of the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Company for increased rates
throughout Maryland and ordered
the existing rates maintained. The
Commission says the c0mpany's pro-
posed scale Of increased rates is
"unjust and unreasonable nd
would constitute an unfair burden
upon the telephone users of the
State"
The decision is based upon the
finding that the tele-
phone company is not q separate
company, but is merely an integral
part OF the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. The present
rates are continued for two years.
Dozier A. De vane, general coun-
sci of the telephone company said it
would either cut the telephone SER
vice or appeal to the Courts.

DRY INJUNCTION USED $50
TIMES IN STATE IN 1924

The Federal Government in en-
forcing the Volstead act has OBJ
tanned ESQ preliminary iniunctions
against privately owned cafes, res
taurants and dwellings in Maryland
since January l, according to the
records in the United States District
Court. Nearly all concern Balti-
more property owners.
An injunction has the effect Of
closing an establishment and has
proved an effective weapon Of the
prohibition enforcement unit In en-
forcing the Volstead act in this
State, it is asserted by oficials.
Maryland has no State enforcement
law
Injunctions were begun October
l, 1923, by Amos w. W. Woodcock,
United States District Attorney.
About SO Establishments were clos
ed by this means before January /,
1924.
OF the ESQ preliminary, or tenn
porary, injunctions which have been
granted in the United States District
Court, 119 have been followed by
permanent injunctions.s "A permanent
injunction closes an establishment
for year. Twelve temporary in
functions have been dissolved on a
hearing or on request of the District
Attorney. The remaining temporary
injunctions still are in effect. They
are awaiting final disposition by the
court.
Explaining the effect Of his
policy, Mr.. Woodcock said:
I'VE never request an injunction
unless there has been a hearing in
court before a jury on the Volstead
law charge or plea of guilty"
An injunction, he said, did not
mean that the establishment could
not be used for any purpose. On
posting of a bond, usually $1,000.
he added, the place could be opened
again on condition that the law
would be obeyed.
In most cases the injunction Is
granted with the consent Of the
owner of the property, Mr.. Wood
cock explained.

EMBARGO ON LIVE
CHICKENS

Exclusion from the State of all
live chickens from any part Of the
country has been ordered by DR..
Albert r, Woods, executive officer of
the State Board of Agriculture.
Turkeys ducks and geese are not
affected by the action.
The order follows an embargo
ordered by. Governor Richie. In
his order the Governor gave the
agricultural board power to enlarge
or change the embargo as ensuing
circumstances warranted.
The embargo against live chickens
is due to q baryard disease called
" chicken influenza. The Govern
ment has appropriated 100000 for
study of the affection.
Fear that persons will reship sick
chickens from other points into
Maryland prompted the States en-
barge, it was said by Samuel Shoe
maker. chairman of the State Board
OF Agriculture,
"The boards action Is q precau-
tionary measure he explained,
"and was taken because we antici-
pate efforts might be made to make
Maryland a dumping ground for
chickens from infected sections of
the country.
THE disease is very contagious
and might be compared to the hoof
and mouth diseases which involved
a great part Of the country a few
years ago."
