FLOOD CURBS
ON POTOMAC
DEMANDED

Harvesting Of the flood waters
of the Potomac and its tributaries
was strongly urged by representa-
tives of the various areas affected
at a hearing held here yesterday
before Army engineers studying
the problem.
Although most of the testimony,
given before Lieut.. William j..
Matteson, District engineer of the
War Department, was concerned
with the washington waterfront
and BlandenSburg area, which
periodically is ravaged by the un-
checked overflow waters Of the
Eastern Branch. Representative
Jennings Randolph DD, of West
Virginia pleaded for control OF the
entire Potomac Valley.
Opposition to Levee
AS to the Washington water
front, representatives of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission registered opposition
to the construction of the pro-
posed levee cutting through the
West Potomac golf course.
They are satisfied, they said,
with the levee already built just
behind the Munitions Building.
Numerous witnesses from the
Bladensburg area, however, ap-
pealed for some flood control prof.
ecC to prevent occurrences of the
floods which several times each
year spread over" a wide area at
the intersection of Defense High
way and the Baltimore Boulevard.
They declared that if floods in
that section could be stemmed de-
velopment of the territory would
become rapid, real estate values
would Immediately rise to that in
the surrounding areas and the
park system, which has been
worked out for Prince Georges
county by the Federal Park Com
mission, could proceed.
Boon to Traffic
Fred w. Cast, mayor of Chew
erly, Md, explained that when the
floods occur in Bladensburg some
30,668 automobiles must be re-
routed daily, and that several hun
dred homes and some two-score
business properties are damaged.
He and John S. White, of the
Maryland State legislature; Rep
resentative Stephen w. Gambrill,
who represents that district in
Congress; T. Howard Duckett, of
the washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission, and John Turne-
stead, mayor of Colmar Manor,
joined in the plea for immediate
control of the floods of Bladens-
burg.

D. IS TAGGING
IN BOY WORK

Continued from Local Page)
The provision for play Is a
means to an end-the building
of character.
"The facilities for industrial
classes, particularly popular at
the Boys Club of Washington,
are not to train the master
craftsman as much as they are
the tools through which to
model the master man.
"The Boys Club of Washing
ton is supervised by boys work
director who not only under
stands the operation of all pro-
grams that interest boys, but
who is particularly well-fitted to
exercise good judgment in the
free use Of any or all of these
programs as he sees fit.
"There are no limitations
brought about by excessive dues,
ages or creeds-it is thoroughly
democratic and nOnsectarian for
all boys of all ages"
Records maintained by local
club officials reveal that the cen
ters are not only a great benefit
to the boys of the locality it serves
but the whole city is benefited.
Depredations on private prop
erty are not usually committed by
boys in the immediate vicinity of
their homes. They go further
afield and it is just such straying
that the clubs counteract.
The primary factor in selecting
d site for a new boys club is the
incidence of delinquency in an
area. Director Fyfe pointed out:
although the boys of any sec
tiOn would be benefited by a
Boys Club, the area of need
from the city's standpoint is in.
dicated by the prevalence of de-
linquency as shown by the rec.
OrdS of the Juvenile and Police
Courts. The conditions under
which complaints against boys
are registered vary widely, for
the standard of acceptable con.
duct is higher in certain Sec
tiOnS than in others.
But whatever the standard
Of conduct may be, the prev
alence of delinquency registers
the difficulties of boys to OBJ
serve that standard and records
the need of help to boys of the
District as truly in one section
as another
In consideration of the boys club
problem, the question has often
arisen as to the advisability of ex-
panding existing social agencies to
meet the needs of some particular
district.

dog is a fine pet around children
and a good watch dog. He is,
however, a bit too fond of chick

CURRAN URGES
COURT SHIFT

Support of the American Busi-
ness Club of Washington in the
campaign of Judge Edward M.
Curran for revision of Police
Court methods was pledged today
by the clubs president, DR.. L. M.
Lucas, after the Police Court jur-
ist had outlined his proposals yes
terday before a meeting of the
club at the Hay-Adams House.
One of Judge Curran's propoS.
ais is to change the name of the
court to the City Court of Wash
ington. On that point, he de.
clared today:
'Many persons in Washing
ton believe that Police Court is
. product of the Police Depart
ment: that If they appear in
Police Court as a defendant, the
witnesses against them are pO-
licemen. Police Court is a name
too suggestive and not descrip-
tive of its functions as a court
Of petty Offenses."

THE RITTER CASE

GO far as precedent is concerned, Judge Halsted
~ L. Ritter of Florida whose impeachment trial is
in progress in the Senate has better than an even
chance to remain in office
Ten such trials have been held. In only three
have the defendants been convicted. Yet all three
of these were Federal district judges, like Ritter.
Three other such judges we're acquitted.
In impeachment trials two-thrds vote of the
Senate is required to remove man from office
One President has been tried, one Supreme Court
justice, one Senator, and one Cabinet member None
of them was convicted.
The President Andrew johnson and the SEN
ate voted IS to 10 for conviction. Samuel Chase,
Supreme Court justice, was acquitted 80 to 9.
Charges against William Blount Tennessee Senator,
were dismissed for want Of jurisdiction since the
Senate had expelled him before the impeachment
proceedings reached it. On charges against Secre-
tary of War Belknap, the vote was IS to rs for
conviction
In two of the three cases of Federal judges who
were acquitted, majority of the Senate favored
conviction
The last previous impeachment trial was held
in 1888 charges against Judge Harold Louderback
of San Francisco Forty-hve Senators voted guilty
and 81 voted not guilty
In 1925, Judge English of Illinois resigned after
impeachment had been voted by the House.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

COMETIMES the law is clown masquerading
~ with cap and bells. Sometimes it is tVant
whipping it's victims to conformity More often it is
only pompous ass.
Once again the law has said that Mrs. Anna
Laura Barnett never married to the rich and
aged Greek Indian, the late jackson Barnett be-
cause in the words of the court Barnett was wholly
incapable of understanding the nature of the mar
rage contract the obligations thereby assumed"
How many married persons do you know who
might be charged to lesser degree with the same
incompetency?
We understand what the court means, of course
But there are certain facts remaining after the
judgment is rendered which oddly confusing.
1t is charged that Mrs. Barnett kidnapped the
man. So, in sense, does every woman bent on
marriage either for love or money. When it comes
to graphing with the sinister SEX man at his wsest
is helpless. Poor old Jackson Barnett wtless as a
weanling, didn't have chance in the world. His
weakness merely served to call public attention to
his plight
But the woman who decided to take him over
did swell job at making the simpleton happy.
Lifting him out of squalor she dressed him decenty
gave him good food and amused him WELL His adj
miration for traffic cops tremendous On street
in Los Angeles several years before his death
tourists saw him going through the gesture of d.
recting the flow of traffic, his empty face alght
with joy.
Strange that such enormous wealth should have
fallen to the lot of Jackson Barnett Such trivial
things could please him. Once that wealth was his
however it was inevitable that greedy hands should
be always picking his pocket.
To have been Mrs. Jackson Barnett. legally OF
illegally, must have taken a strong stomach and a
determined mind. And let's give the woman credit
for sticking it through until death did them part
She deserves some pay for not asking divorce and
aumony.

THE AIR SEEMS SAFER

THE few spectacular accidents to passenger air.
planes have created the illusion that air travel
is the most hazardous means of getting somewhere
quickly.
Science Service dispels this with some remark
able figures showing that you're much safer flying
through the air than dashing about in your own
automobile particularly if you're dashing sort of
auto driver.
Here death figures for 1885:
The motor vehicles of America travelled 379 49,
100000 passenger miles and killed 2O,070 passen-
gers; and thus travelled 18,932725 occupant miles
per passenger fatality.
The foreign and domestic airnes of the United
States travelled 360,559,431 passenger miles and
killed is passengers The result is 24,037,2sO pas
senger miles per passenger fatality. s,
The nations railroad trains last year Travelled
900 passenger miles and killed Is passen-
gers. The result is 10000 passenger miles per
passenger fatality.
The reason for all this is plain. Railroads are
safest, because they have century of traffic ex-
perience behind them. Airpanes are next in safety
because they driven by experts under strict
regulation. Autos are driven by Tom, Dick and
Harry. And too many of these Toms, Dicks and
Harrys lack experience, common sense and ordinary
social decency.

THURSDAY. APRIL o. 1895
MAYOR HOAN

DANIEL WEBSTER HoAN, Socialist mayor of
Milwaukee for 20 years, was reelected this
week after the hardest fight Of his career.
Milwaukee does not keep on electing Mayor
Hoan because the city is Socialist controlled His
party has only about 5000 pad-up members out of a
population of $4,000. The reason for his success
and it could apply as easily to Democratic or Re-
publican mayor in other cities-s that he has made
Milwaukee one Of the best-governed cities in
America
In cities 100000, Milwaukee is second lowest
In per-capita cost of government, second lowest in
per-capta bonded indebtedness. 1t met pay rolls
through the depression, became famous for its
honest elections as for its beer cut its crime and fire
rates and rigidly enforced the merit system in city
departments.
Milwaukee, indicating conservation, Tuesday
turned down municipal ownership of the city electric
company. 1t was Mayor Hoans espousal of this
project that almost cost him his job.
The story of Milwaukee is that people want honest
efficient city government, and that they will back
such administration regardless of party.

THE CASE AGAINST SPEED

INDIANAPOLIS has rolled up tragic evidence this
year in the case against automobile speed.
Now comes Fortune Magazine with further testi-
mony. In poll of public opinion, it found more
than two-thirds of the people in the country favor
limiting speed of automobiles to SO miles an hour.
1t found the driving and walking public uncon-
WINGED by the automobile industrys case for motor
cars capable of 80 to 100 miles hour.
Fortune reports that 691 per cent of car owners
favor a curb on auto speed, and that 70 per cent
of non-car owners favor it. The magazine COM
ments that its figures afford good cause for re-
doubled filters on the part Of the manufacturing
industry"
The Automobile Manufacturers Association argues
that 80 per cent of all accidents at speeds less
than so miles hour, and that such limit on all
cars might increase accidents
