BRIDGEMAN FALLS
80 FEET; MAY DIE
Albert Canter, 81, Victim of Acct
dent at Arlington Memorial
Span, in Hospital.

While workmen looked on helplessly,
Albert Canter, 31-year-old apprentice
bridgeman, was injured, probably ia
tally, at 1890 o'clock this morning
when he lost his balance while being
hoisted by a derrick to the draw section
of the Arlington Memorial Bridge and
took 3o-foot plunge to barge below.
AS his body struck the barge, on the
west side of the draw, his head came
in contact with projection that pierced
the back of his skull.

pad the injured man removed TO Cas-
Ialty, where it was said his recovery
was doubtful
According to fellow workmen, Canter
was standing in the big scoop with
which iron ore was being hoisted for
mixing concrete on the draw, when the
scoop suddenly tilted. Canter was I'M
able to clutch the chain in time and
was thrown out. The derrick was on
the draw section of the bridge, and
Canter had been directing the removal
of iron ore from the barge
The man came here from New Hamp-
shire to work on the bridge. He resides

HIGH FLIGHT RULING
Is HELD AIR MENACE
Aviation Threatened by Decree
Ordering Planes to Stay Above
500 Feet Near Field, Leader Says.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, July 11.-A Federal
Court ruling setting 500 feet as the
minimum at which airplanes may fly
over property adjacent to airports was
described today by Maj Louis @.
MeiSter, Cleveland manager of the
Curtiss-Wright Flying Service, as
menace to aviation" The ruling was
given by Federal Judge George P. Hahn
at Toledo.
Maj Meister asserted that more than
$500 feet of ground space are needed
for pilots to bring their planes down
from an altitude of 500 feet and that
very few airports in the country are
large enough for this.
Judge Hahn's ruling was in connec-
ton with the suit brought by Raymond
l.. and Frederick H. SHETLAND seeking
TO have the airport at Richmond
Heights Village, adjoining their estate,
be declared q nuisance. Judge Hahn
refused to declare the airport a
nuisance. but stipulated that planes
must not fly over the SHETLAND property
at less than 500 feet altitude.
Maj. MeiSter announced that the air.
port would be closed August as a
result of the ruling and his company's
activities removed to another base.

BROWN TO SEEK
HIGHER POSTAGE
Officials Are Convinced In
crease Is Only Way to
Avoid Continued Deficit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Convinced that an increase in postage
rates is the only feasible way of lifting
the worlds biggest public utility "out of
the red,' postal officials are preparing
to press their advocacy of a higher
charge for carrying first-class mail.
When Postmaster General Brown
submits his annual report to Congress
in December, the enactment of legisld-
ton authorizing the increase is to be mis-
most urgent recommendation. The
Postmaster believes a rate of 21k cents
an ounce on f1rst-class mail would bal
ance the departments budget for the
present.
Assistant Postmaster General Tilton,
generally regarded as the financial ex-
pert of the department, said today an
increase in the rate on letter mail is the
only solution of the deficit problem.
we see no other way out" Tilton said
If the public or Congress sees one, we
shall be glad to have them point it out"
Last years postal deflcit amounted to
S50000,000. Tilton estimates it will run
over $50 ,00C, 900 this year. The present
loss in handling the mails is now a
charge against the general funds of the
Treasury Brown and Tilton are of the
opinion the Post Once Department, as
public utility should be self-Support-
ing, the cost of operation to be borne
by those 1t serves rather than the tax
paying public.
The present rate on flrst-claSs mail
has been in effect since 1885, a situation
without parallel, Tilton said, in any
other line of business. If postage rates
had been increased to the average level
Of commodities, Brown explained, the
first-class rate today would be 315 cents
an ounce. If the increase were in the
same ratio as wages, the letter rate
today would be cents, he said.
Meanwhile, the worlds biggest single
business is growing at a tremendous
rate. Last year it handled more than
$4,000, 000, 900 articles, and the increase
in the number of articles every year is
more than billion.

INCREASED WATER
RATES ANNOUNCED
Department viii Launch
FiVe-Year Improvement
Program.

New increased water rates to be
charged District consumers were an
nounced in an order issued by the Dis
trict Commissioners today.
The increased rates were authorized
in the appropriation act for the current
fiscal year in order to allow the Water
Department to launch five-year pro-
gram of major improvements in the
distributor system to be financed en-
tirely out of water rates. The increases
are all in the neighborhood of So per
cent over the present rates. The de-
tailed statement of the new rates fol-
lows:
S8.75 Is Minimum.
The minimum rate for all consum-
ers will be $875 per annum, payable in
advance. This will entitle them to
$500 cubic feet of water. Any adj
ditional consumption will cost 7 cents
per 100 cubic feet. The old rate was
$685. minimum and 6 cents per 100
cubic feet extra.
For unmetered service the rate is
charged according to the number of
stories in the building and the number
of front feet in the lot. On all tene-
ments two stories high or less, with a
front width of 16 feet or less, the rate
is $685. per annum in advance. For
each additional front foot or fraction
thereof 81 cents is added and for each
additional story or fraction one-third of
the charges as computed above is added
Unmetered Construction Rates.
Water supplied for building construc-
ton purposes unmetered will be cents
per 1000 brick and cents per cubic
yard of concrete, with a minimum
charge of 81 for each separate building
project.
The assessment per front foot for
connecting houses with water is in
creased from So to So.
Rates for metered commercial services
are increased proportionately with the
domestic increases.

M'CLENNY SUSPECT
IS GIVEN FREEDOM
Young Woman Found Not to
Be Missing Debutante
of Richmond.

A fair-haired young woman, at first
believed to have been Mary Frances
McClenny, was released by the police
this afternoon after an investigation
satisfied them that she was not the
missing debutante of Richmond, Va.
The woman, who bore a general
resemblance to the Richmond debutante,
was taken into custody earlier in the
day with male companion. Both were
held on the technical charge of in
veStigation, while the police made a
careful check on their identities. The
woman was detained at the House of
Detention and her companion was held
at the first precinct station. He also
was released when it was definitely
established that the woman was not
Miss McClenny.
The two were taken this morning by
Detective Sergts William Messer and
companion were circling Potomac Park
in an automobile. The detectives acted
on tip that girl answering the de-
scription of the Richmond girl was in
the habit of breakfasting with a man
each morning in a lunch room near the
Navy Department.
On visiting the lunch room the officers
learned that the couple had just left.
They began search of the vicinity and
came upon the two in car bearing Vir-
ginia tags and a Richmond license
plate. Both prisoners denied any con-
nection with the McClenny case.
Clothing Is Similar.
The woman, who said she was single
and %, gave an address on Pennsylvania
avenue, where detectives learned she
had rented a room about a week ago
The officers said they saw in her room
several articles of clothing somewhat
like those described in police circulars.
The man did not answer the descrip-
ton of a man sought by Richmond
police in connection with the alleged
abduction.
At the House of Detention the girl
was questioned by Mrs. Nina c. Van
Wrinkle and a private detective en-
ployed by parents of the McClenny girl.
Both indicated their conviction that the
prisoner was not Miss McClenny.
1t was pointed out that the weight
of the young woman does not cor
respond with that given by the Virginia
authorities and there is a marked diff
ference in the appearance of the growth
of hair over the prisoners forehead.
Other discrepancies also were noted. In
certain other respects. however, the

HUSTON CONTINUES
AS HEAD OF PARTY
Foes of G. O. P. Chairman
Interpret Statement Mean
ing He Plans to Resign.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Despite the threatened move on
Capitol Hill to bring about the elimina-
ton of Claudius H Huston as chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee, Mr.. Huston today continues as
head of the G. o. P. organization.
At the conclusion of a meeting yes
terday of Mr. Huston with other officers
of the national committee, and with
the chairmen of the Republican Con-
greSsional and Senatorial Campaign
Committees, Mr.. Huston issued the
following statement in regard to the
craftsmanship:
Certainly the matter of chairman
ship was discussed but what I have to
say on that subject will be withheld
until after the adjournment of the
Senate"
And as far as can be learned TODAY.
that is just as far as Mr.. Huston went
to the other officers of the committee
in the matter of pledge to get out of
Office.
Resignation Expected.
The impression left upon those who
wish Mr.. Huston to resign as chairman
is that he will resign. Why should he
say that he will discuss the matter of
the Craftsmanship after the adjourn
ment of the Senate" unless he intends
to resign, they point out today Perhaps
the wish that Mr.. Huston will resign is
father to the impression that he will
do so.
There are others who do not wish
Mr.. Huston to resign who admit that
Mr.. Huston's statement leaves them
with no impression that he is any way
pledged to resign or planning to resign.
Mr.. Huston himself said following the
meeting at national headquarters in the
Barr Building yesterday that he had
made no promise to resign. He also de-
clared that no demand had been made
upon him for his resignation, and he
added that he had brought up himself
at the meeting the question of the
Craftsmanship.
intended to resign was carried to the
White House and to the Capitol. That
much was learned today
Foes Remain Quiet.
There seems to be little doubt that
Mr.. Huston dominated the meeting yes
terday and that If other Republican
leaders went there with blood in their
eye, they were quiet enough at the
meeting. The truth of the matter IS
that many of the Republicans who are
anxious to have Mr.. Huston resign rs
chairman of the National Committee
because they believe that his availability
as national leader has been impaired
also desire to make the manner of his
going out of Office as easy as possible.
Many of them believe that he has been
unfairly treated by the Senate Lobby
Committee and by the press. In some
quarters today it was declared that Mr..
huston was taking advantage of this
softness. on their part In other quar-
tiers. however, It was declared Mr.. Hus-
ton had his fighting clothes or and if
any effort were actually made D throw
MIN out of Office he would make things
hot.
Mr.. Huston, whatever else may be
said, has apparently postponed the date
of his going out of Office, If he goes,
until after the Senate adjourns, which

John Alt, SIS years old, a carpenter.
was stabbed to death by his l5-year-old
SON Henry at his home, Ala K street,
shortly after noon today.
The boy, who remained calmly in the

called the police, declared that he
killed his father with a carving knife
as he walked out of their home with
a revolver, saying that he intended to

Apparently Drinking.
From Henry and his sister Frieda,
a bookkeeper for the Central Auto
Works, who several months ago aided
the police in plant" to capture two
men who were accused of plot to steal
the auto works pay roll, the police
learned that the elder Ait apparently
had been drinking all day and had
threatened members of his family.
The mother told police that her hrS-
band had abused Henry and herself
early this morning and had accused
the boy of loaflng and making no eff
husband was driking and threatened 70
kill both her and the boy. Shortly
afterward, she said, she left home to
visit neighbor.
At this point the boy picked up the
thread of the story and calmly told
the police that he saw his father about
to leave the house with q revolver in
his pocket, shouting that he intended
to kill his mother.
Grabbing up small carving knife
from the kitchen table, he rushed out
the front door just as his father was
going down the steps and plunged the
knife into his throat, he said.
Waited for Police.
The elder Alt fell in the doorway and
the boy walked back inside. Neighbors
telephoned Freida, who worked several
blocks away, and she rushed home ilst
as her father died. The boy, mean
while, sat inside the home and awaited
the arrival of the police.
Detectives @. E. Mansfield and Van

boy under arrest and brought him to
