Air conditioning, growing ever pop
ular in Washington with the squirt
given by Uncle Sam in the public
buildings here, is causing the Water
Department of the District some con-
cern. There Is mounting consump-
ton of water. air conditioning con-
tributing TO the jump of some 5000 600
gallons average per day over last year.
It was ascertained today that the
Federal Government is using around
Is per cent more water this year than
last This situation is attributed to
the increased number of Government
workers here because Of the New Deal
and to the advance in air-conditioning
equipment. Nearly all the permanent
Government buildings have at least
some of their Offices air conditioned,
and some have whole floors.
H. Beckett, engineer in the Water
Department, said that District Off
cials realized the dIair on the water
system and that if air conditioning
continues at the preSent pace, it will

District authorities consider that Is

right to run full tests to determine
the amount really used. If this inter-
feres with the water supply Of the
adjoining territory, the quantity can
be cut down.

months of this year, compared with
those of last year, showing that the

KERN SUPPORTED
FOR H|TZV VACANCY
indianapolis Mayors Name
Added to List of Nom
Local Candidates.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

The name of John K. Kern. Demo-
cratic mayor of Indianapolis, has been
added to the list of non-residents of
the District under consideration for
appointment to the District Court of
Appeals, to fill the vacancy caused by
the recent death of Justice william
Hitz.
Another out-of-towner mentioned is
Representative Byron B. Harlan Of
Dayton, Ohio, who has the indorse-
ment of Senators Bulkley and Dona-
hey of Ohio. In addition, Attorney
General Cummings is understood to
have several non-local aspirants un-
Ger consideration for this appoint
ment He indicated this recently, but
declined to name the candidates.
Kern Son of Late Senator.
Mayor Kern, who is 35, is the son
of the late Senator John w. Kern,
vice presidential candidate in 1908 on
the ticket with William Jennings
Bryan. He has the Endorsement of
Senators Van Nuys and Minton of
Indiana and the support of number
of Indiana lawyers and political fac
tions.
Kern has served only one year of a
f1ve-year term at Indianapolis, but is
represented as being tired of the office
and having yearning to return to
judicial work. Formerly, he served on
the Indiana Superior Court.
The Indiana Senators have made
strong recommendations in Mayor
Kern's behalf, both to President Roose-
welt and the Attorney General.
Adding of Mayor Kerns name to the
out-of-town list Of candidates to re-
place the late Justice Hitz strengthens
the belief in quarters here that politics
is likely to play big part in this ap-
pointment.
Bailey Strongly Backed.
However, Associate Justice Jennings
Bailey of the District Supreme Court
is to be strongly indorsed for elevation
to the Court of Appeals and H. Win
ship Wheatley, president of the Dis
trict Bar Association, has been recon-
mended by large number of local at
torneys. United States Attorney Les
lie c. Garnett and District Corpora
ton Counsel Prettyman also are un-
derstood to have been recommended.
Indiana already is represented on
the District Supreme Court by Justice
Oscar R. Luhring and on the United
States Court of Customs and Tax
Appeals by Oscar E. Bland.
The White House is looking into
the records and qualifications of the
various candidates to be the sue
cessor to the late Justice Hitz There
is no indication that the latter Is
ready to make any immediate recon-
| mendation.

Maryland Roads Commits

BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, July 18.-Slashes to-
falling approximately $lS0,000 in the
amounts requested by the counties for
highway debt service during the cur
rent year and complete denial Of such
funds to two counties today were the
latest results in the State Roads Com
missions new policy governing use
of the gasoline tax.
DR.. Homer E. Tabler, chairman OF
the commission asserted the curtail-
ments thus effected will be utilized in
accordance with the new policy Of
devoting the gasoline tax revenues
more to construction and mainte-
nance of State roads than to county
debt service
Eight of the % counties-Allegany,
Anne Arundel, Calvert, Cecil, Garrett,
Kent, Queen Annes and Washington
will receive less than the amounts
requested, and Howard and Montgom-
cry, whose accounts are heavily over
drawn, will receive no funds at all,
Tabler said.
Two Counties Different.
Charles and Somerset Counties, ac-
cording to commission figures, require
no State allotment for debt service.
Ten counties-Baltinore, Caroline,
Carroll, Dorchester, Frederick, Prince
Georges, st. Marys, Talbot. Wicomico
and Worcester-will receive the full
amounts asked, while Hartford will re-
ceive the amount it is authorized by
the Legislature to receive each year.
At the close of the fiscal year
September 80, 1884, Howard County
was overdrawn s57,50265, but asked
for $30,825 for debt service. Mont
gomery asked for no funds, having
previously reached an agreement with
the commission whereby a two-year
debt service allotment was made to il
last year.
Allegany, Kent and Calvert, like
Hartford, receive amounts fixed by the
Legislature, but in each case, Tablel
said, the county asked for more than
its authorized allotment. Only the
funds fixed by the General Assembly
were allowed, the chairman stated.
