According to a dispatch printed
in the London Evening News, the
Cunard Line is not going to make
any mistake about the comfort
ableness of the Staterooms on the
superliner which will slide down
the ways when the Queen OF
England chriStens her next fall.
Sixteen full-Size cabins, replicas
of those on board, will be built

of comfort-loving people who will
be invited to try them by the
steamship company.
Each of the high-clasS state
rooms will have hot and cold
water, a bath room. electric heat
erS and electric fans. These and
the lower-priced rooms will be
fitted exactly like the rooms
planned for the new ship.
Every type Of accommodation
from the super-luxury suite to the
third-class rooms for 2, 3 and 4,
will be built and thoroughly tested.
Not a detail will be omitted. Even
the walls will slope to the degree
that the Super-Gner's sides will

Fruit and coffee will be served in
the evening and the usual sea
breakfast will be ready in the

AS We came alongside, her

stood at the rail to greet us. After
coming aboard, we learned, to our
great delight, that the boat was
about to take off on a test run,
and that we could 60 along. This
was an unexpected pleasure, and
gave us ample opportunity to study
the boat in action.
We got under way, Immediately,
with no fuss or flutter, and started
smoothly down for the Point. The
6-cylinder, 100-horsepower Sterling
engine functioned perfectly. Com,

With all this ballyhoo about

1t might be we'll for police
to see that these persons are
forced to cross streets at inter
sections, where regular lanes
are made for this purpose.
A second step would be to
make pedestrians cross streets
with the lights, waiting at the
curb during the time cars are
allowed to move on. other cities
have tried this and found 1t
very effective.
I remember starting to violate
such a law in a mid.WeStern

D. C. Schools in Bad Shape
TO the Editor of The Times:
The condition of some Of the
schools in Washington is a
disgrace to the National Capt.
cal.
I had occasion recently to
visit some of the older school
buildings here and I was
amazed at the conditions under
which children are forced to
spend their mornings and
afternoons.
I have particular reference
to the Force School, on MaSSa.
chusetts Avenue near Seven
teenth Street Northwest. This
school is one of the oldest in
the city and, considering its
age, it is remarkably we'll pre-
served.
The building, however, is To-
Gated at such close proximity
to residences on either side that
the light and air in the building
Is very bad.
Such conditions should not be
allowed to exist in any city,
particularly in the Nations Cap
1tal, which other cities take as
O model.

TREES TO BE
REPLACED ON
CITY STREETS

plans are now underway for a
project which will permit $50 trees
to be planted on Ell Centre streets
to replace those dead ones now
being removed by SERA workers" j"
Phil w. knights, city engineer
stated today.
Removal of many trees which
died during the summer has been
going on for the past several days
and has led to numerous inquiries
by citizens, who, while recognizing
the necessity of doing away with
trees which are a menace to life
and property, were not aware that
any plan for replacing them had
been adopted.
On the whole citizens have CO.
operated well in the removal of
trees, the city engineer said, though
there were some remonstrances
when trees which showed a live
growth near the base were removed.
knights explained that these trees
could not be expected to come
back" and their removal was the
only practical solution of the
matter.
Practically all trees which will be
removed will be replaced, the city
engineer advised The Press, and the
result should eventually add con-
siderable to the appearance of the
city.

Delving into the grand jury's Sec
ret records, a day-to-day account
of the inside story of the long in
vestigation of District Attorney
Buron Fits today poured into the
record of the hearing on Fits mo-
ton to set aside the perjury in
dictment against him and his Sis
ter, Berthal Gregory.
With R. S Martin, secretary to
the grand jury, again on the wit
ness stand, Defense Attorney Roll
and Swaffield- kept up "a fire -ot
questions into the doings of the
grand jury-who was present each
day, what witnesses appeared, and
what part in the proceedings was
taken by Special Prosecutor Clyde
Shoemaker.
After yesterdays sensational
testimony, offered by the first wit
nesses on the stand, the opening
questions today were largely rou-
tine. The grand jury secretary
detailed the employment of investi-
gators, requests upon the supervis-
ors to set schedules of wages for
them, and the study of records.
1t was indicated that Martin
would be on the witness stand most
of the day.

ASSOCIATION
TURNS DOWN
ATEN'S PLAN

After due consideration, the ex-
ecutive council of the Irrigation
Districts Association of California
has declined to approve a proposed
amendment to the state irrigation
district law offered at a recent
meeting of the local district board
by Director Ira Aten. News of this
action was contained in commun-
ication received at district head
quarters today.
The letter states: "The proposed
amendment to the law submitted
by Mr.. Aten which provides that
the district attorney of a county
must, when requested to do so by
an irrigation district, act as attor-
ney for that district, was presented
to the executive committee and
thoroughly discussed from all an
giles. 1t was the unanimous opin-
ion of the committee that said
amendment should not be adopt
ed
Reasons given by the committee
for this refusal are that the pro-
posal would probably be held un-
constitutional insofar as these ex-
ira duties could not legally be
forced on district attorney. Fur
thermore, the letter states, such a
procedure would be unwise and in
most instances unavoidable. 1t was
also felt that even though the pro-
posal might be constitutional the
district attorney could not receive
this extra compensation during the
term of his office.

individual to order drinks in an
eating place, with or without a

There are practically no restric-

Charles E. Farrell, in charge of
the state board of equalization
office here, stated this afternoon
that no official notification of the
law had been received by him but
it was his understanding that the
new law would become effective on
December 20 and presumably the

He called attention to the neces-
sity of having license before

PASSED
To ARIZONA

1t will be the responsibility of
Arizona to take the initiative in
further negotiations concerning the
proposed contract for the diversion
of the Colorado river water, ac-
cording to a telegram received at

morning from Phil D. Swing, special
representative of the district now

In his telegram Swing states
ga conference of representatives
of protesting states today decided
to let Arizona assume the initiative
in drafting a new contract but it
was agreed to comply with the
secretary's expressed wish for an
agreement by expressing to Arizona
willingness to confer with her if
she desired to draft a contract
within the limitations laid down by
the secretary's oral pronouncement
