HOMES IN SUBURBS
FACE FIRE HAZARD
Broken Main Cuts Supply of
Water in Chevy Chase and
Other Districts.

Scores of homes in the vicinity Of
Alta Vista and Chevy Chase, Md, are
facing a temporary hazard today in
addition to a thin flow of water for
household purposes as result of the
breaking of a main in Jones Mill road
some time during the night.
The Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission. which controls the water
supply of nearby Maryland. dispatched
an emergency gang to the scene as
soon as the breach in the main was
discovered and repair work is being
pushed in an effort TO have the pres
sure In the pipes back to normal by
evening.
Officials of the commission an
nounced at noon that the pressure
was gradually increasing, but that
there were few high points, such as
Battery Park, where there is still no
water In the communities that are
on a lower level the pressure was
steadily improving. Engineers OF the
commission explained there was no in.
terruption in the pumping Of water
into the distribution pipes at any time,
but that naturally it would take a
number of hours to get the pressure
water lost at the break during the
night.
The commissions engineer pointed
out that the District Fire Department
would cooperate by sending engines
to fires just across the line in Mary
land. He said that If a fire should
occur today the engines would be able
to get some water from the hydrants,
except at very high places, where the
pressure has not yet begun to climb
back to the normal level.
Bucket Brigade Lines Up.
Meanwhile. residents who were
within reasonable distance of existing
wells emulated their ancestors and
1ourneyed forth with buckets.
r. B. Morse, chief engineer of the
commission, explained that the
break occurred on an unfrequented
stretch of Jones Mill road which ex-
tends westward from North Chevy
Chase towards Wisconsin avenue.
The loss of water at the break did
not register Immediately on the
gauges at the Burnt Mills pumping
station, Mr.. Morse said, because the
standpipes of Alta Vista and Chevy
Chase were full at the time and the
opening In the 10inch main caused
the supply to drain out of the stand
pipes, Mr.. Morse emphasized that 1t
was only local break and that there
was no trouble at the pumping sta
ton.
The Chevy Chase Club was only
partly affected, since it maintains an
auxiliary supply Of its own. The
club uses the suburban commission
water for its boilers and for that
reason was without hot water this
morning.

ARTICLE III.
BY BEN MckELWAY.

STAN Correspondent of The star.
TORONTO, Ontario.--1t is an inter.
esting, If unhappy, reflection on the
efhcaciousness of prohibition TO pro-
hibit that the natural question to ask
here in dry Toronto is this If you
are dry, where do you get your
liquor?"
1t has not vet come to pass that
prohibition Is synonymous with an alb
sence of liquor. There is as much
liquor available in Toronto as there
is in Washington, and no honest ad-
advocate of prohibition will deny it..
But first let it be clearly understood
that the fact is not set down here as
a criticism Of a condition, but as one
OF its best known and most discussed
ompaniments. The information
concerning the accessibility of liquor
of all kinds was given to me by gov
ernment officials charged with enforc-
ing the law, and who are making an
honest effort to enforce 1t. and from
personal observation.
One of the prime difficulties en-
countered by advocates of prohibition
in Toronto and by those who enforce
the law is that to the east and the
west the province of Ontario is
bounded by wet territory. while with
in the province itself there are dis
tilleries and breweries turning out
their gallons every day and finding
as ready a market as ever before.
The result is easy to- understand.
Bootleggers run their wet goods into

VOLP| MAY SEEK
MELONS ADVICE
Italian Finance Chief Wants
Information on Means to
Steady Lira.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
ROME, July 27.-When Secretary
Mellon arrives in Rome he will find
an interesting welcome.
In the first place, the correspond
ent learns officially, Finance Minis
ter volpi will request a meeting with
him for the purpose of discussing
strictly limited efforts to stabilize the
Ira"
Naturally In view of the repeated
declarations of Mr.. Mellon that he Is
here only on vacation to see his
daughter, Mrs. Bruce, 1t is not known
whether he will accept Signor Nolpi g
Invitation. But 1t is generally thought
that Mr.. Mellon cannot avoid at least
a courtesy call on the Italian finance
minister. who was his official guest
last Spring in the United States
In the same way, 1t is considered
that any conversation beginning with
the question of stabilization of the Ira
must lead inevitably to larger dis
cussions of international finance and
American participation in Europe
wide economic reform.
The second item in Mr.. Melons re-
ception here will be the attitude of the
press In general, the o11clally IN
spired newspapers are wary Of deroga-
tory comment on United States debt
collection. At least, no such storm OF
protest has arisen here as the Rother-
mere. Beaverbrook campaign in Eng
land or the recent march OF wounded
French soldiers in Paris.
The italians know full we'll that they
rot off pretty easy. Nevertheless.
a distinct undercurrent Of protest
against the existing debt agreement
nav be felt in many divisions of the
Italian press, especially the extreme
wing Of fascists, who would be per-
fectly willing to take part in any Eu'
ropean campaign for general inter.
allied debt cancellation, provided some
other country makes the first official
move.

PARIS RED WRECKS
AMERICAN STATUE
Protest Against impending
Execution of Sacco and Van
zetti Results in Vandalism.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, July 27.-The first overt
Communist act in Paris against the
impending execution Of the italian
radicals, Sacca and Vanzetti. for MUIR
der in Massachusetts occurred today.
Nicolas Jarovenko, armed with a
stonemason's hammer. smashed the
figures of a French poflu and an
American soldier at the foot OF the
Alan Seeger statute, in the Place des
Etats Unis, erected in honor OF the
American volunteers who served In
the French army during the World
War.
The flood of communications regard
ing Sacco and Vanzetti. which Myron
7. Herrick, the United States Ambas-
sador, has been receiving since the two
were convicted has been increasing in
volume.
Several of the letters have con-
tained vague threats of reprisals If
the men are executed. The latest of
these communications is an unsigned
telegram from Venice, Italy. in which
the sender said that life will be taken
for life."
The Ambassador has paid little at
tention to the threats. considering
them as coming from harmless
cranks.
