SEES LAW ISSUE
IN IOWA DISPUTE
Rrookhart Counsel Asserts

If senator Hronlihart is unSeated

counsel for Brookhart. declared today
in A brief filed with the Senate cleo
tons subcommittee investigating the
Iowa sena torial contest.
1T will be sufficient To say that
the Senate can only sustain the con
testant'S position and unSeat this in
cumbent by appearing to approve a
policy Of contempt for law of SO far
reaching consequences as to be ut
terly descriptive of representative Gov

IF there is to he an acceptance OF
the official count where there is a dis
crepancy between the ballots transmit
ted and the number of votes cast as
shown by the poll books. as in the case
of Winterset. Madison County, upon
what theory shall the ballots prevail in
other precincts where there are like
diScrepa ncieS? The uniform applica
ton of this rule will result in an in.
crease of 149 votes for the incumbent
more than enough to overcome any APP
parent advantage on part Of the con
teStant under the most generous in
tepretat ion of the law.
Counsel for the contestant enlarge
Spaciously in their brief upon a the
Dry to be known as the intent of the
voter 1t is evident that they not
only confuse wholly distinct ideas. but
urge the application of this So-called
rule only when it is to their own ad-
vantage. What they contend for is
that the voters purpose if he APP

an unlawful act he invalidated his

POTOMAC HEIGHTS
SOON OE!aVE GAS
Extension of Georgetown
Company Mains From Fox
hall Heights Contemplated.

The Public Utilities Commission is
expected to formally order the George
town Gas Light Co. within the next
few weeks to extend it's gas mains
from FoXhall Heights to Potomac
Heights. Some time ago the commits
sion informally advised the company
that it would order the extension when
the weather became favorable for the
work.
According to commission officials
the extension will serve between 500
and 500 residents of a territory lying
between FoXhall Heights and the Dis
trict line. 1t is estimated that the
work will cost between $4,000 and
$500
A public hearing will be held by the
commission tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock to consider the petition of the
kenilworth and Benning citizens for
the extension of gas mains into their
community. This work, it is esti-
mated, will cost approximately $780,
900. The Washington Gas Light Co.
would be required to run the main
across the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge. as the drawbridge over Ben.
ming road makes a short cut from the
city impossible.

PNEUMONIA SPREAD
LEADS TO AIR TEST
Fowler Orders Ventilation of

More Deaths.

Steady increase i'm the number OF
pneumonia cases led District Health
Officer William &. Fowler TO-DAY To or
der the sanitary force of the Health
Department to make an exhaustive in
NeStigation of the ventilating systems
Of all moving picture theaters and in
dustrial and mercantile establishments
with n view to checking any potential
spread of the disease through impure
air.
Pneumonia has taken n toll Of AZ
victims since he birth of the new year.

day. Twenty new cases of the disea Sc
also were reported today, bringing the
total 10 If6 since January !. Some of
the deaths reported today. DR.. Fowler
explained. occurred TWO and three days
ago. lint the daily fatalities thus far
this month average exactly 3D..
Dr. Fowler fOreseeS no definite sign
of abatement in the disease. and very
peSSimistically pointed out that pneu-
monia makes its deepest inr"ads in the
District during january. Therefore.
H. is taking every prec:tutiun to pre-
cIude an unnecessary spread of the
disease through impure air in places
here large crowds gather.
Inspection of the Nentilating systems
in the motion picture theaters and
mercantile and industrial establish
mentS. DR.. Fowler is satisfied. Will
show whether the air is pure or not.
Laboratory tests of the air in these
places. he believes. is not necessary if
the Ventilating apparatus is in proper
working condition.
DR. Fowler explains that pneumo-
ma is Conta Eious. and is more likely
TO he spread in places where the air
IS not pure. J. +. Butts. assistant
chief of the sanitary force, will have
charge of the ventilation inspection
work.
While pneumonia deaths for the
current month are expected to show
an increase over January of last year.
DR.. Fowler does not believe that the
fatalities for the calendar year will be
as great as in 1923. when LOIS per
sons died from the disease. The fol-
lowing year. health records show.
pneumonia fatalities dropped to 747
and decreased further to 63S last year.
