D. c. FACES LACK
Of WATER

The District Of Columbia is fac
ing a shortage in the water supply.
Iit was learned today.
In the face OF movement to re-
establish the sprinIlers at various
points throughout the city where
children might get a refreshing
shower. d. w. HoIton. assistant
superintendent Of the Water De-
partment. said that the water could
not be spared.
Holton said that more water is
being used now than at any other
time in the year and that the peak
load on the reservoirs comes at a
time when the sprinklers would be
operated.
Despite this ultimatum, George
s. Watson, chief of the Fire De
partment, was today authorized by
Commissioners Cuno III. Rudolph to
confer with the Water and Play
grounds department and lay plans
for the opening of the sprinkler
system.
Although thousands of children
took advantage Of the showers pro-
vided by the Fire Department last
year, Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes,
superintendent of Fairgrounds, said
that many complaints were traced
to the system.
She said that she was not In
favor of the sprinklers If any
other methods Of keeping children
cool could be devised. She advo-

D. c. HEAD MUST
Be CIVILIAN

While President Coolidge is still
giving full consideration to the
claims of more than half dozen
candidates for the District Com
missionership in the seelusion OF
the summer White House, OBJ
servers held to the opinion today
that Gen. Ell A. Helmick has the
best prospect Of being chosen for
the post.
Legal sharps, however, have
raised the issue Of whether General
Helmick Is eligible under a strict in
depreciation Of the law for the ap-
pointment.
Civilian Is Required
The organic act Of the District Of
Columbia requires that two Of the
District Commissioners shall be
civilians. The question now being
studied by legal experts is whether
General Helmick, as retired army
officer, will be civilian in the full
sense of the word or not.
II he resigned from the Army there
is no question that he would resume

Johnston, appointed by former Presi-
dent Taft as a District Commissioners
in 1909, was an officer who had re-
signed from the Army.
AS a retired officer, subject to call
for duty by the War Department in
the event Of an emergency. there Is
legal doubt as to whether General
Helmick Is a civilian within the
legal meaning of the word.
Wants Public Approval
The President also is receiving re-
ports as to how the various civic
organizations Of the District are
taking the suggestion Of appointing
General Helmick. He wants to
choose a Commissioner who is per-
soma grata with the local public
and who knows District affairs.
ATTORNEY General Sargent today
declined to make any statement
about the Fenning case. He was
not in a position. he said, to an.
nounce whether or not the Com.
missioner's resignation has been &C.
cepted.
From other sources it was learned
that no further action has been
taken, and that neither President
Coolidge nor the Attorney General
has sent any communication to
Fenning regarding his letter Of
resignation.

President Coolidge has not yet
been given a final report by the
legal experts OF the Department of
Justice on the eligibility of Gen.
Ell A. Helmick for the Commits.

Among lawyers generally, how
ever, there was feeling that the
