Water Cleared
Of PtOmdine
Blame

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, March 6.-RumorS that slight
attacks of ptomaine poison among
residents of Arlington county had
been caused by infection in the
county water supply we're dis
counted today by DR.. P. M. Chi
chester, county health officer.
Admitting that there is a slight
change in the taste and odor of
the water, DR.. Chichester declared
that the county supply has tested
slightly purer than the District
supply, even though it comes from
the same reservoir.
FLOOD AFFECTS WATER
The change has been caused,
the doctor pointed out, by recent
thaws and flood water, when a
small amount of vegetation has
got into the supply. This follows
each flood period.
DR.. Chichester explained that
he had taken a test of the county
water each day since the thaw be.
gan and it has tested as high as
it ever did.
Explaining that no alarm need
be felt for the purity of the water
supply, DR.. Chichester said:
"The slight unpleaSantness in
taste and Odor of the water dur
ing the past few days has been
caused by a small amount Of
vegetation which always gets
into the supply during flood
periods.
81 have made several tests
during the period and have
found the supply to test higher
than the District supply from
the same reservoir.
NO PTOMAINE FOUND
$50 far as ptOmaine poison is
concerned, 1 have heard nothing
of it and am sure 1t could not
have come from the water sup
ply"
Several members of the county
board had received telephone calls
from users of the county water
supply inquiring as to why the
water tasted bad. These requests
were transferred to the health of.
ficer.

HIT ELECTION
LAWCHANGE

ALEXANDRIA, March 6.-Bit-
ter opposition to a proposed leg
islative bill that would make Alex
andria's city attorney and city
collector elective offices rather
than appointive was voiced in
Richmond yesterday before a
State Senate committee by a del
egation from here.
Representing the City Council,
which has voted unanimous oppo-
sition to the proposed measure,
were three members who were ap-
pointed by council as a commit
tee to oppose the bill. They were
Henry O'Bannon Cooper, A. Slater
Lamond and Charles L. Burgess.
Others from here appearing be-
fore the Senate committee to op-
pose the bill included Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard r. Baker, James
Colasanto, Austin Golf and Col.
and Mrs. Charles B. Moore.
Doom Predicted
Having already passed in the
House of Delegates, the measure
is doomed to be killed in the Sen
ate. according to State Senator
John w. Rust, who is reported to
be against the proposal.
Senator Rust said that he did
not think the measure would come
to a vote before the Senate. In
event it does come to a vote, how
ever, his opposition is expected to
be successful in defeating it.
Another bill affecting Alexan-
dria's public offices, which was
also introduced and sponsored Oy
Delegate Maurice Rosenberg, If
Alexandria, has already passed
both the House ard Senate.
This measure will require that
vacancies occurring in the office
of civil and police court judge
ship be filled by election rather
than by appointment. The issue
was brought up here recently
when Judge James Reese Duncan
was appointed to fill the chair
of the late Judge Frederick
Duvall.
The appointment of Judge
Duncan was made by Judge
William P. Woods, { the Corpora
ton court. Although city Off
cials protested the appointment
and carried the fight to higher
court, the action was upheld by
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy, Of
the circuit court
Special Election
Other provisions of the bill now
being argued in the Senate
would provide that the city at
torney and city collector shall
be elected at the regular mu-
nicipal election to be held in
June. Persons seeking the office
of city attorney would be re-
quired to have practiced in
Alexandria for at least five years.
and the salary would be fixed at
not less than $2.400 a 2ar. The
collector would be paid $4,000.
A special election would pe
called March 81 to give the
people of Alexandria a referen-
dunn on the issue and an oppor-
tunity to either ratify the meas
ure or to kill it.
Passage of the bill affecting the
judgeship was made by Senate
earlier this week.

COMMITTEES
OF MD. HOUSE
SHAKEN UP

: ANNAPOLIS, Md, March GA
shakeup of committees to lessen
the control of Baltimore city poll
ticians was effected here yesterday
in the House of Delegates Of the
General Assembly.
Majority Floor Leader Kent R.
Mullikin CD of Prince Georges,
who previously had led a revolt to
unseat the speaker, Emanuel Cor
fine CD of Baltimore, forced the
Eealignment of the committees in
return for his abandonment OF the
fight against Gorfine.
The powerful ways and means
judiciary and the committee on
insurance. and loans were in
creased in size, with Mullikin die
tating appointment of the addi'
tional members.
Two Bills in Senate
The death of the consumers S
sales tax in the Senate leaves the
legislature with no extensive pro
gram for raising money for relief.
The Senate has before 1t two tax
bills, one on beer and the other a
floor tax on whiSkey, which are
capable of raising $4,000 900 an
nually, their sponsors say.
There is no tax bill before the
House at this time, except the ad-
ministration sponsored consumer S
tax. The action of the Senate in
putting a legislative clincher on
this bill stopped any further con-
sideration of it, however.
A resolution was introduced IN
the Senate calling on the State
Survey Commission to furnish a
list of it's employees and expendl-
lures to the Senate. This was in
troduced by Senator Olin R. Hig-
gins. Dorchester County, and was
adopted.
Gov. Nice Out of 1t
Prior to the meeting of the
senate, Gov. Harry w. Nice
washed his hands of any further
efforts to suggest a plan for rails
ing relief money. He had spon-
sored the consumer tax bill.
Senators from the various coun-
ties appeared to have taken an
adamant stand against offering
any relief tax plan. They took
the attitude that the counties
did not want State-financed re-
lief and that any suggestions
should come from the members
from Baltimore where relief is
needed worse.
In the house of delegates the
Montgomery county delegation in
troduced two bills. One would pro-
hibit the use of traps to snare
birds or animals except that any
householder can trap predatory
animals and birds.
Offer Library Bill
Another bill would repeal the
legislative act of 1880 pertaining
to the Bethesda Newcomb Library
Delegate George F. Lehnert, of
Baltimore, introduced a bill legal
izing the numbers game in the
State and putting a tax of 10 per
cent on the takes. 1t was referred
to the ways and means committee.
The proceeds would go to the State
relief funds.
Miss Ruth Shoemaker CD of
Prince Georges county offered a
bill prohibiting members of the
general assembly from holding
any other State office with COM

BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Traffic conditions in Washing
ton, which are worst in the down.
town shopping area, can well be
judged from the placement OF
traffic lights in the city.
A map of the District, with a
dot for each traffic light, looks
like q swarm of bees issuing
from q hive. The hive is the
section roughly bounded by
Seventeenth Street. Constitution
Avenue, Seventh Street and K
Street, and from it issue long lines
of bees.
The map clearly illustrates the
flow Of traffic within the city
several radiating lines converging
on . crowded center, where chaos

# it were not for an over.
abundance of street cars, auto
mobiles and pedestrians in the
central area, so many traffic
lights would not be necessary.
" Street Car Problem
To clear away many of these
lights, permitting surface traffic
to proceed in a safer and more
orderly fashion, subways for street
cars and underground walks for
pedestrians are necessary.
The paramount consideration is
the presence Of street cars on
most important downtown thor.
oughfareS and the leading arteries
to the suburbs.
Most Of these lines in the CEN
trail area, including those on F.
Street, G Street, lower Fourteenth
Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, E
Street and lower Connecticut Ave
nue., could be eliminated by the
construction of only three subway
lines, totaltng about six miles in
length.
Numerous placements for these
lines have been suggested, but
most observers agree that there
should be one running east and
west, one on Connecticut Avenue
acting as q feeder, and another
teeder on Fourteenth Street.
Salient xOute
If Washington is ever to have
Subways, the east-west route is of
salient Importance, because it
would be the meeting ground of
all feeders, existing and contem-
plated. It's placement should be
q matter of intense study, inVolV-
ing not only the present transpor-
tation route but routes to be de-
veloped in the future because of
population changes, new Federal
buildings, and the like.

John johnson, aged about IS
years, for many years residing OIL

in his bed at his home, last Sun
day afternoon. His hired man

went about his work on the
ranch until noon, when he called
johnson to dinner, and again re-

away during the night before.
Johnson had not been in good
health for some time, though he
was up and around and visited
Hardin only a few days before his
death. He had one of the best
hay and livestock ranches in that
section and a couple of months
