It was not announced what had

speedy action in various engineering
offices. The assumption was that as
fast as project data were completed
they were forwarded-or will be for
warded-to the P. w. A. Concerned
ofncials would not explain what had
been done.
Instructions rather obviously had
gone down the line at the District

Secretary Ickes. Before the situa-
ton developed, it had been UNDER
stood in some quarters that while the
detailed information required to meet

the time the Commissioners sent their
first communication to the P. w. A.,
the information was to be sent along

TRAVEL INCREASE SEEN
REFLECTING CONFIDENCE
80 Per Cent Gain in Inquiries for
First Half of 1888 Is Shown
by Auto Club,

More travel inquiries and a large
increase in its own membership were
interpreted today by the District of
Columbia Motor Club of the American
Automobile Association as indications
OF new business confidence and i'm
proved conditions in the National
Capital.
The club reported 80 per cent
gain in travel inquiries for the first
half Of 1898 and June gains in mem
bership greater than for any month
in the last eight years.
Vacation travel" said Russell E.
Singer, general manager Of the ma
tional motoring body, has become an
excellent barometer OF business and
industrial trends. When the curve Is
downward, fewer people take vaca-
tions. but those who are playbound
make longer trips. As conditions i'm
prove, more people are on the move
but stick closer to their business and
jobs. The latter situation is in evi-
dence this year. I'LL.
inquiries at che Washington A. A.
A. Travel Bureau numbered 3O,654
during the first half of 1898, as COM
pared with $4,000 during the first six
months Of 1887. The greater ma
jority Of these routings were to points
in nearby Virginia, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and the Carolinas."

Firen'en Help
Police Officer
Get His Man

A Maryland policeman who under
took . bit Of volunteer arresting in
the District last night turned to the
Fire Department for aid when his
prisoner proved little too hot" to
handle.
According to eighth precinct police
Omcer Harvey Bell, colored. of Fair
mont Heights was standing on the
corner Of Forty-first street and West
ern avenue NV. when . drunken
wayfarer. also colored. began whoopins
things up.
The thing to do, Oficer Bell de-
cided, was to hold the whooper-upper
long enough for District police to
catch up with him. Only trouble was
however, that the whooper-upper OBJ
jected to being held-objected sc
strenuously. In fact, that the Mary
land policeman soon found himself
backed against pole.
As the two men struggled around
the pole, Omcer Bells hand came into
contact with familiar object-a fire
alarm box. He smashed the glass,
pulled the alarm and-presto-five
pieces OF fire apparatus, q battalion
chief and . police scout car were
there.
The prisoner was taken to the eighth
precinct, where he identified himself
as Jesse Davis. 5000 block of Utah
avenue NV, and was charged with
drunkenness, assault and carrying a
concealed weapon-namely, an old
fashioned straight" razor.

MRS. ROOSEVELT
HITS RIGID WAGES
Freezing at Statutory Minimum
Should Be Avoided, She Says
in Democratic Digest.

Terming 1t the most important &C.
complishment of the recent Congress,
Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt writes in
the July issue of the Democratic Di-
gest that the wage-hour law should
not result in freezing wages at the
statutory minimum.
Further, she says, the measure will
at least make it possible for we'll
tntentioned employers to know that
they will not have to compete with
wages below . certain level"
Discussing the unemployment prob
lem, Mrs. Roosevelt remarks that the
cooperation of industry and govern
ment Is essential. but that the former
will eventually, I believe, have to
accept it as its own problem and find
the means Of coping with IT.
The Democratic Digest ts published
monthly by the Democratic National
Committee and contains . question
and answer page conducted BY Mrs.
Roosevelt. ~.,...
