MEMORIAL RITES
HELD FOR TEACHER
Miss Edna Clark Believed
Lost in New EngIand's
Flood Waters.

! Memorial services were conducted
Friday at North Weare, N. H., for Miss
Edna A. Clark, well known retired
Central High School teacher, who was
believed lost in New England flood wa
ters, according to word received here
by Mrs. George w. Stone, 4l0 Cum
mings lane
In a letter received by Mrs. Stone
from a mutual friend, Mrs Frank T.
Wilkins Of Warner, N. H., who recently
visited North Weare, it was reported
that Miss Clark, who was living at her
summer home at North Weare, went
driving with friends Saturday, Septem-
Der "a, to view the. floods along the
Piscataqua.
Apparently hoping to gain a better
view Of the flood. Miss Clark and her
friends stopped their car and walked
onto bridge above the churning wa
tiers. While their backs were turned a
dam above the bridge suddenly gave
away, the onrushing waters causing
the bridge to buckle and Miss Clark
and her friends were swept into the
river, according to Mrs. wilkins letter.
All hope Of finding Miss Clark's body
has been reported abandoned after q
week OF intensive search. A native of
Derry, N. H., she had been Washing
ton resident As years and was believed
to be about 10 years of age.
A veteran school teacher, Miss Clark
was appointed English teacher in the
old Business High School in 1893, and
was later transferred to Central High,
from which she retired in 1928.
She was graduate of George WASH
lngton University. later studying at
Cornell University Summer School at
Ithaca, N. Y.
Surviving Miss Clark are four BROTH
ers. Harry Augustus, Robert and Otis,
A cousin, Reed Page Clark. is in the
American Consulate at Vancouver.

new interceptor will run along the
western side Of Rock Creek, from
Klingle Valley to the river. This line
is identified by the capital letter "X".
All of the dry-Weather flow will be
handled either by these new mains, or
by the existing mains, and carried
to the District treatment plant In
times OF rainfall, the overflow, while
removed from Piney Branch and Rock
Creek, will be emptied into the Poto-
mac, near the mouth of Rock Greek,
since the interceptors running across
the lower portion of the District are
not large enough to handle the entire
flow.
The large section to the west of
Rock Creek Park. identified by capital
letter B" represents the Klingle
Valley area in which a new system
of enforcement sewers will be laid
at cost of s96,855, to permit sepa-
ration of storm water and sanitary
sewage, as a means of removing from
Rock Creek one Of the principal
sources of District pollution.
New Interceptor Mapped.
The smaller area. identified by
capital letter Az, shows the section

down the Glover-Archbold and the
Foundry Branch parkways. II suffi-
cient funds are found, there will be
laid a new interceptor main down the
courses of these valleys. This is the

District interceptors run past this Fed
eral reservation, but do not solve the
problem since the land, for the most
part drains to the south. Raw sewage
therefore is emptied into the river by
Navy Yard sewers, at the foot OF which
are X marks.
Along the western side of the An

are seen four other X marks, indicat-
ing District sewer outlets which at
times constitute sources of pollution

and costly drainage tunnel would have
to be laid and officials wonder how
soon it would be necessary to replace
or duplicate such project.
However, section of the northeast
boundary sewer, indicated by capital

at cost estimated at $355, 900.
Cooperation Illustration.
Near the far southeast corner of
the District is the sewage treatment
plant, built several years ago under
a $4,000 900 loan and grant from the
p w. A. To this plant all of the
District sewage flows. except that
which runs through the numerous
escape" valves. Sewage is carried
to the plant from the sewage pump
ing station. to be seen on the map
to the right. after being pumped
through mains under the Anacostia
River. There is now but one outfall
sewer. running between these points.
The new loans and grants include
$4,000 to build duplicate main,
to make sure no break in the present
sewer would disrupt the whole sewage
disposal plan.

Rock Creek Major Problem.
At the upper left-hand corner is to
be found the interceptor sewer along
Rock Creek. which stream is polluted
from sewage dumped into the creek
above the DISTRICT line. Maryland
authorities may lay a connection to
this interceptor. The District would
have to extend its main to the District
line, at cost of about $4,000. There
has been no announcement yet that
this project is adopted.
With the possible exception of the
Anacostia River, under its present con-
dition, Rock Creek presents the maj
pollution problem. Under present
plans, more than s3,80O,OOO is to be
spent to improve conditions there. in
cluding Piney Branch Valley. A study
OF the first map shows there are about
two dozen sewer outlets which, in
times of rainfall, pour a combination
OF stormwater and raw sewage into
the valleys. These points are identi-
fled by the small x marks, at the ends
OF sewer mains leading to Piney
Branch and Rock Creek One of these
Is at the foot of Luzon avenue, in
Rock Creek Park, southwest of WAL
ter Reed Hospital. Several years ago
the District began an extensive project
to divorce sewage and stormwater sew
age in the Luzon Valley area and one
main joint of pollution rains.
One of the greatest points of pollu-
tion is the huge sewer outlet in Piney
Branch Valley, just west of Sixteenth
street at Tiger Bridge, where in times
of rainfall drains great quantities of
sewage down the valley into Rock
Creek and then into the Potomac.
Farther downstream are to be seen %
other K marks of pollution sources.
Two Interceptors Approved.
To correct all, or nearly all, of this
problem, the P. w. A. has authorized
the District to spend s3,7lO,8O0 for
the construction of two great inter-
ceptor sewers, one running generally
down the eastern side of Rock Greek,
from Piney Branch Valley near Six
teenth street, to the Potomac, which
will intercept emergency sewer out

Local LawS Face
Close Scrutiny in
Monopoly Probe
Effect of Marketing
Rules on Trade
TOBe PrObed
BY ROBERT A. McGILL

IN.SO Stepping inside State
boundary lines, the Administra-
tion today broadened the scope of
its $500,0O0 monopoly inveStiga-
ton to include the effect of local
marketing laws on interstate COM
merce.
Members of the monopoly COM
Hnittee said privately that the re-
suits of the inquiry into State
marketing laws, based on the
Miller-Tydings trade practices
act, will be turned over to them
to facilitate preview of local
business practicaS."
CHARGE PKfCE INCREASES
Critics of the Miller -Tydings act,
which permits retail price-fixing
of trademarked goods sold on a
national basis in States with
similarly modelled statutes, have
charged that it has caused retail
price increases of 20 per cent or
more in some instances, COM
mittee members said.
The investigation of operation of
Che Miller-Tydings act and similar
State statutes was authorized sew
eral weeks ago with WPA funds.
1t is estimated that it will cost
approx imately $500,0O0. The
WPA is conducting the investiga-
tion in the 43 States which have
laws similar to the act.
The only States which have not
passed laws permitting the price
fixing are Alabama, Delaware,
Missouri, Texas and Vermont.
OTHER DATA AVAILABLE
Committee members said they
also expect to have at their dis
posal the results of President
Roosevelt's inquiry into the eco
nomic conditions in the South,
and other sections of the country,
should the investigation by the
National Emergency Council be
extended.
AS the committee met today to
outline its course for investigation
OF alleged monopoliStic practices,
Senator King CD Of Utah, a
member, warned against any
action that might upset the gen.
eral business recovery trend.
AS Senator OMahoney CD Of
Wyoming, chairman of the joint
congressional and executive COM
mittee, announced that the COM
n1ittee will decide today on what
phases of industry or business
will first come under its spotlight.
William o. Douglas, SEC chair
man, announced it would deal
with problems concerning invest
ment securities, legal methods of
controlling capital, holding COM
panies, voting trusts and credit
facilities for all business, big and
little.
The general agenda for the far
reaching inquiry includes, in ad-
dition to motion pictures, oil, steel,
farm machinery. cement, cotton
seed and the various retail fields.
