ROCKVILLE DOUBT
ON WATER SUPPLY
Town Without Authority to
Hook Up With District-Mass
Meeting Planned.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, September g.
Having received legal advice that the
town of Rockville is without authority
to hook up with the water mains of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission Of Maryland, as had been con-
templated to insure the community an
adequate supply of water at all times,
the mayor and council are understood
to be In something of quandary as to
what steps to take to provide additional
water for the county seat and at q
meeting Of the board last evening it
was decided to call public meeting for
q thorough discussion of the situation.
Engineer to be Present.
It is planned to have a representative
of the engineering firm Of Whitman,
Requardt & Smith of Baltimore, which
recently conducted q survey to de-
termine how the towns water supply
could best be increased, attend the
meeting and explain just what the sur
vey showed. The meeting will, Mayor
J. Roger Spates stated today, probably
be held within the next two weeks. The
citizens will be told how serious a sit
uation confronts the town because Of
the recognized inadequate supply Of
water and an effort will be made to
ascertain how they feel toward the sug-
gestionS Of the Baltimore engineers.
The mayor and council are under
stood to realize that something must
be done at once to provide sufficient
water until the Legislature so amends
the town charter as to permit the town
to become a water customer OF the
Sanitary Commission, whether 1t be to
sink additional wells or to hook up with
Watts Branch, mile away. The au-
thoritteS are expected to be guided
largely by the sentiment developed at
the public meeting.
Would Control Parking.
Chief Of Police Alvie A. Monkey ap-
peared before the board last evening
and urged that action be taken for the
control Of more vehicle parking within
the town. He characterized the exist
ing situation as serious and seemed to
think that cooperation of residents of
the town so far as parking their ma
chimes in the business sections Of town
would helpj greatly.
The mayor and council adopted an
ordinance giving them authority to
regulate parking on the streets of the
town and providing fines of from 81 to
$25 for violations. The regulations are
expected to be promulgated In the near
future

ing among the middle western and

the resultant interchange of ideas

Eastern editors found thGt the ma
iority of swine slaughtered on the
Pacific coast come from middle
western farms. AS long as such a
situation continues, there is bound
to be a trade alliance between the
two sections and it is a good idea
for the middle western pork produc-

new CHARGE OF
Murder PLACED
AGAINST WOMAN

VALPARAISO, Ind, June 3. U.P)
Cold and defiant, Mrs. Catherine
Cassler. once condemned to the gal
lows in Chicago, was back in Jail
today while the law endeavored to
weave a ring of circumstantial evi-
dence around her in connection with
the murder of Miss Cameola Soutar,
"A year old divorcee, whose body was
found last week in swamp near
Hebron, Ind.
Mrs. Cassler s chief accuser in this
murder case was her husband, Tru-
man, who said Miss Soutar and he
lived together while Mrs. Cassler
spent 2S months in Chicago jail,
part of the time under the shadow
of hangman IS moose.
Another bit of evidence against
Mrs. Cassler was announced by
Coroner Z. H. Miller who said he had
found three witnesses who declared
they saw Mrs. Cassler in the vicin-
ity of the swamp last Tuesday.
Mrs. Cassler was convicted, with
two others, of the murder of Arthur
Lindstron for his insurance, in Chi
cago several years ago. All three
were convicted and Mrs. GassleT
was sentenced to hang. Legal delays
and technicalities postponed the exc
cution and finally the supreme court
ordered a new trial. The state dis
missed the charges because one de
| fendant had died in the penitentiary
/ and the other refused to testify
/ against the woman.

AS n means of creating better
understanding among agriculturists
over the country as a whole, the
present tour of q group OF editors
of leading agricultural publications
of the United States and Canada is
~ distinct contribution particularly
t. 5the betterment oil western con
ditions. These keen, open-minded
writers have toured the agricultural
districts of the south, including the
range districts of Texas, New Mex
leo and Arizona. As this is written,
they are getting cross-scction of
California farming and stock rails
ing and they will conclude their
tour in the Inter Mountain states.
Az students of human nature, edi-
toritl writers are often slow to ac-
cept statements of farm leaders at
facd value. Thus, through personal
obsdvation and interviews with
western farmers and stockmcn, these
writer's are now able to get at the
actual facts, which should be a val
uabE aid to western agriculture, rs
thert is no doubt but what the agri-
cultural writers go a long. way to-
wards creating and shaping agricul-
tural policies and legislation.
Business men as a whole for many
years have recognized the fact that
we are all one community with com
mon interests, from one end of the
country to the other. State lines
Fare merely political boundaries. There
is little difference between the ac-
tual ideas and ideals of farmers or
other citizens just because of The
fact that we live in different states.
Through the messages which these
writers are carrying to the readers
of the various publications, the east
and middle west may have a better
idea of western crops, the surplus
problem and time and methods of
marketing. Their views will aid
greatly in shaping the agricultural
policies cf various sections in order
that there may be less conflict N
the marketing of various crops.
The west produces raw crops for
eastern manufacturers. The east is
still the market outlet for a very
large proportion of western crops
Yet the west depends to great ex-
tent upon the east for high grade
breeding stock. Eastern editors are
!. now in better position to advise
1 their following as to the sort of
animals best suited for improvement
of western flocks and herds.
The west produces great many
more lambs than the home popula
tion can, consume. California alone
is shipping about 100000 lambs to
EASTERN markets every spring. Know
ledge of California production prob
lens will create better understand.
