SAFETY SOUGHT
FOR INVESTOR

Legislation to further protect
investors in real estate securities
was recommended to the District
Commissioners today by Corpora
ton Counsel William w. Bride in
his annual report for the 1881
fiscal year. The report said:'
"We have been shocked dur
ing the past year or more by
our utter inability to cope with
such cases prior to the actual
damage being done. 1t seems
to me that if foreclosure OF
mortgage could occur only pur-
suant to q decree of the Su-
preme Court of the District Of
Columbia and then only after
six months have elapsed during
which time the interests of both
the borrower and the lender
could be protected, much OF the
difficulty would be overcome"
Recommendation was made for
an amendment to the condemna-
ton laws so as to give the District
the same authority now vested IN
the Federal Government partlcu-
larly with reference to taxing
title pursuant to a declaration OF
taking.

z WAR MOTHER
HEADS IN ROW

Friction between factions of the
American War Mothers of the
District caused violent contro'
versy last night at a meeting of
the organization in the Hamilton
Hotel, when Mrs. w. w. Morrison,
president, claimed her election by
the national advisory board had
been revoked and attempted to
preside.
Mrs. Lucy Cash, acting preSi,
dent since Mrs. MorriSon'S oust.
ing, objected to her claim, with
the result that, after vigorous dis.
putes. both women presided. Mrs
Cash sat at the presidents table
while Mrs. Morrison was seated
In front of the table.
Mrs. MorriSOn's custer followed
action of the advisory board at a
meeting in Chicago, June II. The
board, in a letter to the Local
chapter, said:
"As a result of very
thorough review of the evidence
of Mrs. MOrriSOn'S letters to the
national president, Mrs. Virgil
Mcclure, which were most in.
sulting and showed an attitude
of inSubOrdinatiOn, we, the ad.
visOry board, declare the office
Of president of the District of
Columbia chapter is vacant and
must be filled according to the
bylaws of the national Organi-
ZatiOn.'

Women Praised for Work
In Canning of Food
DIR. MCDONALD
conducted the inquest.

The volunteer services of Wash
ington women in the mass con-
servation of food for relief Of the
unemployed this winter was
highly commended today by Mrs.
Harvey w. Wiley, chairman of the
surplus food conservation COM
mittee of the District of Columbia.
During the week, 100 women
volunteered their services in pre-
serving fruits and vegetables in
the various community kitchens.
More than $500 jars of pre-
served peaches, tomatoes and
string beams and peach marina
lade, made by these women, were
removed from the community
kitchens today to the committee
headquarters in the st. James
Hotel.
The work was supervised by

FOWLER URGES
D, c, HOSPITAL

The pressing need of a munich
pal hospital for treatment Of
minor contagious disease cases
was stressed by DR.. William c.
Fowler, health officer, in his an
nual report for the 1881 fiscal
year, submitted today to the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Arrangements for treatment Of
such cases in isolation wards at
Garfield and Providence HOspi-
tails, the report stated, have
proven unsatisfactory. Not only
are the isolation buildings not
modern, but difficulty has been
experienced in getting the two
hospitals to enter into contracts
each year for treatment Of such
cases.
Providence Refuses
This year, DIR. Fowler pointed
out, Providence Hospital has re
fused to become a party to new
contract and the District is haV
ing difficulty inducing Garfield
Hospital to sign a contract. Or
Fowler said the need for such a
hospital is the most outstanding
in the District. and expressed
hope no effort would be spared tc
obtain the necessary funds in the
next budget for the purpose.

Such Language!

Seven students at a language
school in the De Sales building,
Ills Connecticut Ave. N. W..

ways stop at the desired place.
The seven were trapped for

from the fourth floor and had
jammed between the first floor
and basement.
Members Of the Fire Depart.

PUG. TO PROBE
PARENTAGE Of
GAS UTILITY
Hearings Begin Monday Into
Pressure and Ownership;
Pierce Is Summoned Here

The stage was set today for the
opening of one of the most i'm
portant hearings ever held by the
Public Utilities Commission, an
inquiry into gas preSSures and
ownership of the Washington Gas
Light Company. The hearing will
begin at 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing in the commissions chambers.
Gas Pressure First
First stages Of the hearing will
be devoted exclusively to gas pres
SureS, charges, and kindred sub
jects. In this connection, the gas
company will battle to have the
commission increase the maxi
mum pressure limit from the
present 8-inch standard to 10
inches.
The strongest weapon which
the gas company has to use in
this connection Is an opinion
from Bureau of Standards ex-
pertS. This opinion is to the
effect that the best service can
be given by operation on a 10
inch pressure. The company con-
tends that unless the pressure is
increased, extension of the dis
tributing system will be necessary
and in five.year period will cost
approximately $5OO,O which will
ultimately be borne by the GUS
toner.
Pierce Summoned
Second phase of the investiga-
ton will deal with ownership of
the local company. Investigation
by Assistant Corporation Counsel
William A. Roberts and Depart.
ment of Justice agents has dis.
closed that 81 per cent of the
local company stock passed by
various stages into the hands of
Central Public Service Corpora
tion, gigantic Chicago utility. Al
bert E. Peirce, president of the
Chicago company is under sub
penae to appear at the hearing
and to bring certain records of
his corporation.

TRAFFIC SCHOOL
APPROVED BY
D. c. HEAD
Glasses Would Be Open to All
Drivers, Including Those
Learning, and vioIators

Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby,
District Commissioner. in an in
formal discussion today with In.
spector E. w. Brown, in charge
of the traffic division of the Po-
lice Department. gave his ap-
proval to the plan to establish q
school Of instruction for the bene.
fit of operators and drivers of mo.
tor vehicles in Washington.
Details were discussed and it
was made clear that, while GER
tain offenders against traffic regu-
lations would be sentenced to the
school in the discretion of the pre-
siding judges in the Traffic
Court, the classes would be open
to all vehicle operators who
wished to learn rules and regula.
tions, whether licensed drivers or
preparing to take drivers exami.
nations.
Held In Evening
Glasses Of the school, according
to plans of the Traffic Bureau,
will be held in the evening hours
of certain days.
Vehicle operators convicted in
Traffic Court and given SuS-
pended sentences on condition
that they attend the school must
report for the instruction or be
faced with forfeiture Of their per.
mitS.
The instruction and work of
the school will be under the di.
rection of Assistant Superinten-
dent Brown. The instructors will
include police officials of the
Traffic Bureau. assistants in the
Corporation CounSelS office IA
miliar with traffic procedure and
regulation, and possibly other in
dividuals who are acquainted with
safety methods, accident preven-
ton and careful driving on the
streets and highways.
School Not Penal
Assistant Superintendent Brown
made it clear in his conference
with General Crosby that the pro-
posed school is not penal in its
aspects, but is intended to in
form the vehicle operators of
Washington as to the meaning
and intent of traffic regulations
and proper use of the. streets. rs
well as ways and means of acct
dent prevention and careful driv.
ing.
General Crosby expressed the
belief that the school will meet
a great need. It was pointed
out that only about S per cent
of the licensed drivers in Wash
ington have more than two
marks on their records at the
Traffic Bureau, and that ap
proximately 76 per cent Of the
licensed drivers have no marks
on their record, except for over
time parking.
The view was expressed = thai
those statistics indicate that 9
large part of the vehicle opera
tors of the city. wish to obey the
rules and regulations and thai
many of the offenSes are due
either to insufficient knowledge
of them or confusion as to theil
meaning.
