IMMEDIATE PROBE ORDERED.
Young Says Air Bombers Violated U. D

ny the Associated Press,

The Department of Commerce today
ordered an immediate investigation
after receiving reports that an alrplane
had been used to bomb coal mines near
Providence and Clay City in Kentucky.
Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce for Aeronautics, said
the pilot of the plane and his helpers
had violated Federal statutes, not once,
but several times.
THE transportation OF explosives
can only be done by special arrange
rnent and permission, while the drop
ping of explosives or anything else from
3 plane in flight, deliberately with IN
fention TO produce damage or by negil-
Qence is a crime" Young said. This
is the first occasion upon which any
such activity has been reported to us
and we shall do our best to determine
where responsibility lies. At the same
lime. it must be realized that very
considerable difficulty will be interposed
10 our investigation. I do not presume
that any pilot undertook such an ex-
pedition without the precautions OF re-
moving or fasifying the Identifying
marks on his plane"

SUBURBS TO GET
MORE D. C. WATER
Burnt Mills Reservoir to Be
Shut and Chevy Chase
Main Tapped Again.

It's supply sources virtually exhausted
by the prolonged drought, the Burnt
Mills Reservoir, which supplies water to
the Maryland suburban area, will be
closed tomorrow and the residents in
that district will henceforth look to the
District of Columbia for their entire
water supply, it was announced today.
To meet the demand which will be
created by the shutting down of, the
reservoir, a new connection capable OF
supplying 100000 gallons of water
daily will be made in the main at
Chevy Chase Circle, j. Donald Claggett
of the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission announced. Claggett made
public this information today after the
District Commissioners had informed
him permission had been granted for
the introduction of the new main.
Workmen have been busy day and
ngiht preparing for the new connec-
ton, Claggett said, and it is expected to
be ready for use in the immediate fu-
ture.
New Supply Believed Adequate.
This new supply, added to the ap-
lroximately 100000 gallons already
being pumped into the Maryland area
from the three other connections of the
Districts system, is expected to prove
adequate in view of the conservation
effected through the enforcement of
the sprinkling regulations recently en-
acted.
The additional water will be forced
through the main by the 100000
gallon pumping station recently in
stalled at Belt road and Fessenden
street, Claggett said.
One Branch Virtually Dry.
The Northwestern Branch, Claggett
said, is virtually dry and is supplying
such an inadequate flow ofawater that
continued operation of the reservoir is
no longer feasible.
The eventual exhaustion of the Burnt
Mills Reservoir was forSeen several
weeks ago when the prolonged drought
first began to threaten the suburban
areas water supply. Preparations were
started at that time to draw on the
Districts system,
