DOU MODEST MAIDENS FAM OATS § lyUnited States Academ oO THAT WATER SUPPLY How the Recommendation as to Fort Myer Came About. THE SAME EFFORT MADE LAST YEAR \Col. Elliot Says the Supply for the District is Deficient. HIS PROPOSED REMEDY The tapping of a main of the Washington aqueduct for the benefit of the soldiers at Fort Myer, Va., might appear to be a simple and insignificant matter; but it is not, and the apparently tnnocent-looking proposition to that end, made known by the publication in yesterday's Star, has already provoked a chorus of indignant protests from the citi- zens of the District. They naturally view it a serious menace to thelr present water supply, and will endeavor to defeat it on that ground. They argue that the present supply of water is barely suffictent for the needs of the people for whom the system was established, and that it can stand no additional drain, no matter how small it may be. What It Would Lead to. ‘The extension of the service to the milt- tary post on the Virginia shore of the Poto- mac, while not a specially serious drain in itself, is strenuously objected to on the ground that it will prove the opening wedge to still further extensions of the service to small towns and villages in the vicinity. A measure similar to that now before Con- gress passed the House at the last session and reached the Senate before its full sig- nificance was realized. It was in the ermy appropriation bill, and when attention was called to it, the Senate promptly struck it out, and the House concurred in its omis- ston from the bill. More Need Last Year Than Now. There was decidedly more reason for the Project at that time than there {is now. Then there was no water supply what- ever at the post, and considerable trouble was experienced in meeting the necessary wants of the garrison in that respect. The Proposition was defeated, how , on the general ground that it would tend to im- pair the water service of the District. Since then a pumping plant has been ¢: tablished at the post, and there is no long- er any lack of water there. The officers of the garrison are not satisfled with pres- ent arrangements, however, nnd it 1s due to their constant appeal for better service that the War Department recommended the tapping of the Washington main. They no longer complain of a scarcity of water. It ts now altogether a matter of quality. The pumps supply an abundance of water for all ordinary purposes,but it is alleged that it is not fit to drink. Gen. Batcbelder’s Recommendation. Acting upon these representations, Quar- termaster General Batchelder submitted the matter to Congress in his last annual report in the following words: “The estimates of last year contained an item for supplying Fort Myer with water, by making connection at George- town with the large main of the Washing- ton aqueduct. “This having fatled to receive the ap- proval of Congress, and the nec4ssity for an immediate increase in the water supply for the garrison being imperative, the hon- orable Secretary of War directed that water be taken from the Potomac river at the south end of the Aqueduct bridge, whence it is forced through six-inch iron pipes into tanks at the post. “This arrangement {s not antirely satis- factory, and it is hoped that Congress will authorize a connection with the large mein of the Washington aqueduct, tn accord- ance with the original plan, which met the full approval of the chief of engineers and was strongly urged by the surgeon general of the army. The connection can be very easily made, and at slight expense. “The daily consumption of water by the 250 officers and soldiers of the garrison - edicine and Surgery, 807-800-811 14TH ST. N.W.

Casey Would Now Use It. As stated in Gen. Batchelder’s report, “the original plan” for making connection with the main of the Washington aqueduct met the full agproval of the chief of engi- neers. The plan referred to was made over @ year ago, at a time when the post was practically without water facilities of any kind. Gen. Casey, chief of engineers, 1s now confined to his house by illness, and cannot be seen personally on the subject. In his office, however, it is stated that the matter has not been presented to his con- sideration since the establishment of the existing pumping plant near the south end of the Aqueduct bridge, and that It is ex- | | tremely doubtful if he would now indorse | the proposition to supply the post from the Washington aqueduct under existing cir- cumstances and conditions. Col. Elliot on District Defictency. As one of the strongest arguments against further drains on the water supply system of the District, a Star reporter's attention was invited to the last annual report of Col. George H. Elliot, corps of engineers, in charge of the Washington aqueduct. In a chapter showing the necessity for raising he height of the dam at Great Fails, in order to increase the water supply, he said: “During the last summer and fall the Po- tomac at Great Falls was at a lower stag than has ever before been the memory of the oldest inhabitant. On seventy-two days the e above the dam showed a depth of water on the dam of only about seven inches, and on five days it showed but six inches. The crown of the conduit arch at Great Falls is 151 feet above datum and the crest of the dam is 148 feet above datum. The conduit was therefore (in respect of Its diameter) oul; about three-fourths full at its head. flar deficiency now obtains every y ing the time of low water at Great F: and at such times, the weather b usually hot and dry and the consumption and waste in the city greatly tncreasod, I have found ever since I laid the 45-inch main that the height of the dam is not sufficient during a considerable portion of every year to enable the condutt to deliver into the distributing reservoir much water as is now consumed and he city, and at the same time kee head in the mains to 146 feet abov which is necessary for the supply by gr ity of the high northern portions of the city and of Capitol Hill.” The Remedy. a vr dur- ‘alls, 1DE “The only reme ‘ly for thi tency, which reduces pressures everywhere in the city and is annually sasing, 1s one that must be made before any further steps are taken for increasing the supply from the distrib- uting reservoir, either by the tunnel to th reservoir near Howard University, or nother matin. It is the raising the tof the dam at Great Falis. In other words, before providing additional means of supMlying to the city more water from the distributing reservoir, tt will be nec sary to be able to send more water from at Falls into reservotr, Mowin 1 estimate of the cost ng the height of the da vic yards of stone yards of riprap, ¢ Damages on acccunt of flooding land and other damages a eae Add 10 per cent for contingencle: mm $102, “This work might properly be done at once, and it will ave to be done, but there are so many things that are immediately necessary for the protection of the aque- duct and for other works herein mentioned, especially the completion of the improve- ment of the Dalecarlla (receiving) reservoir, I do not include an estimate for it in the estimates for the next fisc ies That There is a Shortage. unty Clerk M. 8. burr of Kansas City, in whose accounts an apparent shortage of $19,401 has been reported by Accountant Charles N.

Beginning of an Important Test Case This Morning. In Cireult Court, division 2, before Chief Justice Bingham yesterday, the case of John J. Johnson agt. Miss Alice Van Wyck, in- volving the title of square north of 157, on which the Chapel of the Holy Cross is lo- cated, was taken up, Mr. Johnson appear- ing in his own behalf and Mr. W. F. Mat- tingly for the defendant. The sult is to re- cover the possession, as the successor to the heirs of Samuel Blodget, who was the owner of the Jamaica tract, of 400 acres north of Rhode Island avenue, extending from Connecticut avanue, and taking in what is now Le Droit Park; and is regarded as a test case. Blodget, in January, 174, conveyed his property to Thos. Johnson and Thos. Peter, in trust, to secure the pay- ment of prizes in a lottery, and in 1801 con- veyed in fee to B. B. Celdwell his land in fifty-four squares, in trust for the Wush- ington Association and U.- 8. Insurance Company. In the lottery secured by the trust of 1704 it was drawn by R. 8. Bick- ley, who sued for it in Pennsylvanta and obtained judgment for $26,035.13, and then filed @ bill in equity here tor a foreclosure and sale under the trust, and in 1805 a de- cree for sale was made. Bickley, through agents, purchased the property and the sale was ratified, and in 1S0T conveyance was made and this included square 683 within the Capitol grounds. The sales not yiel sufficient to satisfy the judgment @ supplemental bill was filed in 1814, and further sales were decreed, and the hoiders in possession now claim that the Blodget title was extinguished sixty years ago and through conveyances from Bickley. In 1872 J. A. Britton and others, claim- ing to be children and grandchildren of Samuel Blodget of the first part and Lorin Blodget, entered into un agreement in which it was recited that Samuel Blodget died in 1814 and was selaed of certain claims against the United States and au- thorized Lorin Blodget to prosecute such Resa oo Lad pa § — one-half of the ount recovered and t!

But- ler’s law partner, and Paul Butler, the son of the deceased, had their bill up yesterday for consideration by the legislature of Mary- land. Barrett gave a history of the com- pany since its organization way back in 1839, told of the powers that iat bese dele- gated it by the state of Virginia, its control over the falls and the intentions of the present managers. Permission to introduce electric power into Montgomery, Prince George's and other counties for illuminating and other purposes was then asked. The Project is regarded by all as a very import- ant one and worthy of the deepest legisla- tive consideration. Georgetown and Wash- ington are especially interested and will be much benefited, it 1s claimed, by a favorable report on the bill. The construction of the necessary dams, power houses, etc., will cause the expenditure of an immense amount of money and the employment of gs numbers of men. The Great Falls ower Company is the successor of the old Great Falls Manufacturing Company, which flourished in the thirties or forties. Mr. Barrett made an address before the senate corporations committee last night in support of the bill to charter the com- pany. In reply to the point which has been raised that the grant of this charter might interfere with the righ of the canal Col. Barrett called attention to the clause in the bill which prohibits the grant of the charter from interfering with the existing right of any other person or cor- poration. He also gave a history of the old Great Falls Manufacturing Company, of which this company 1s a successor. —_—> —_ THE HYATTSVILLE CHARTER. Gov. Brown Will Approve It Unless Specific Charges Are Made. A large delegation of the property hold- ers of Hyattsville went to Annapolis, Md., yesterday and had an interview with Gov. Brown, before whom is the bill granting a new town charter. The governor asked the members of the delegation a number of questions as to the changes proposed in the new charter and the scope and char- acter of the changes were outlined to the governor as they have been printed in The Star. The governor further questioned the delegation in regard to the opposition to the charter, and the main facts of the con- test inaugurated by the single tax men and the various meetings held to consider the charter were detailed. The governor was informed that thore are about one hundred property holders in Hyattsville and that the charter was adopted ut a public meeting, where every property hold- er and every voter was present and thera were only eight yotes in opposition. After hearing what the delegation had to say the governor stated that finless the op- position make specitle charges against the bill that he must sign it. ‘The delegation was composed of the fol- lowing: Dr. C.

Poliey Dealers Liable to Give Each Other Away—War on Gamblers —Some Arrests. Now that the police ere once more mak- ing war against the policy firms a feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty disturbs the backers, and it is said extra precautions are taken about the headquarters of the several firms to prevent the rossibility of runners being recognized by persons in the employ of the police. The several backers, fearful of the result of the police ivestigation, will in all probability resort to their old game to keep out of jail, and to this end it is thought that some of them will make an offer to give information against others. One of the backers is already reported as saying he did not interd to shoulder the whole business; that there were others making ag much money as himself, and if he krows anything they will all have the same read to travel. In addition to Detective Lacey several of- ficers in the precu cts are engaged in the work of looking after those engaged in pro- moting the seductive game. While there are several shops just across the river, it is said that most of the bus- iness ts being done by the Alexandria firm, and this firm, it iv stated, has never been Prosecuted here. Some eviderce has been athered against the firm, however, but ¢ officers anticipate some trouble in get- ling the Virginians here for trial, even though the testimony secured is complete enctgh to muke out a case. The arrest of the toy George Gardner, son of George Gardner who is said to be a member of a Jackson City firm, caused some surprise to the policy people in gen- eral, He was driving his father’s carriage at the time of his arrest, and Lawyer Sil- lers, counsel for the film, was seated in the vehicle at the time. War Declared. Friends of Gardner and Beveridge, whose firm is now under fire, state positively that the firm will not remain quiet and stand the brunt of the police investigation with- out seeing some other firms put in the same boat. One of the parties interested in the busi- ness told a Star reporter this morning that there is a firm doing business in this city on Pennsylvania avenue, and that there are twelve books being made every day. ‘This shop, he said, is right under the eyes of the police, and he intends to see that it is broken up. Before many days the police will, in all bability, make some arrests which will lead to information against several of the firms. More Arrests. In addition to Detective Lacy, several other officers have been detailed to work in various sections of the city, and among them is Precinct Detective Barnes of the seeond precinct. He went down to the wharf of the Alexandria Ferry Company yesterday, and while there made two arrests, The persons arrested are colored men, and their names were given as John Thomas and Thomas Banks, and their cases were called in Judge Miller's court this morning. Banks demanded a jury trial, and his case went over. Thomas Plead not guilty, and stood trial. “This book,” said the officer, handing a policy book to Judge Miller, “was taken from Thomas when ne was arrested.” “How much was played on it?" ated ‘$40. “What have you to say about this?’ the judge asked the prisoner. “I was carrying the book to Alexandria for Mary Parker,” was his response. “What did she pay you?” “Twenty-five cents.” Judge Miller said that if there is any such person as Mary Parker she is a mere go- between. The prisoner satd he was from the coun- try and had only been here about three years. He said he was ignorant of the law, but his excuse was of no avall, for Judge Miller gave him sixty days in jail. Elijah Johnson, a Georgetown negro, a: rested by Policeman Bradley, was ‘also given a hearing. He had been tn the habit of taking play across the free bridge, and last week whe one of the plays made a hit for $25 Elijah spent seme of the money for liquor, and claimed that he was robbed of $20, He was also sent down for sixty days, a WHISKY AND SUGAR Found in the Tariff Bill as Well a: Bar Rooms. One of the most interesting things in the way of maneuvering in the framing of the tariff legislation is the battle between the sugar trust and the whisky trust. When the tariff bill was in the House committee, both these trusts were fighting against the income tax, which, as a revenue producer, they be- Meved would obviate the necessity of the tax on thelr products, which they desired. The income tax, however, was too strong for them, and they were defeated. When the bill got into the Senate it was found to be useless to fight the income tax there, and the efforts of both trusts were devoted to placating the friends of this tax. After a fashion both the sugar and the whisky men got into the tariff bill, the whisky men getting the increase in- ternal revenue tax which they desired, and the sugar men getting pretty nearly what they cared for. The whisky trust, however, does not like which the extension of the bonded period, 1s in the interest of legitimate produ: high-grade old whisky, and not in interest of the trust product, which does not require th me time for ageing The increase of the tax on whisk put into the bill for revenne, bur same time barring the extension at of bonded period was extremely gratifying the whisky trust.

An Important Disclosure in the Fuller Cane. | The latest development in the shooting of Miss Martha J. Fuller, the typewriter shot | in Mullen’s law office at New York on Sat- urday, is the result of the second autopsy made by Dr. O'Hare of the coroner's oflice and J. S. Phelps of the staff of Bellevue | and St. Vincent’s dospitals. lt shows that | she was shot in the right side of the bead, | not the left, as formerly reported. In several other directions skilled and pa-_ tient investigation is gradually dissipating the fog of mystery with which the shooting has been surrounded, and tne more clear it becomes the less reason there seems to be to sider it at all a suicide, tor Kiernan was the urst to respond to the cries of assistance uttered by Alagee, | and he thinks it was not more than tree minutes after the shot was ured. He de- termines the moment when the eapilosion | occurred by the noise made on the steam- | pipes, which was caused by the builet striking them, He thought at first that there Was something wrong wiih the pipes, because,he had never heard such 3 sound before. “From the bullet mark on the steam Pipe in the corner and on the wull, Ass #uller would have been compeiled to stand against the radiator within six inches of the window, when she nred the shot, In that case she could do nothing but fall over the radiator, her face toward Ue window, or backwards with her feet aguinst the radiator, her head toward the dvor. She was found by Kiernan wits her beck | against the radiator and ier feet toward the door. Her head, surmounted by a hat, hung @ little forward and vw the right side, but the strangest part of it all was that from a hole in the right side of her bead the blood at that moment was tlowimg Iree- ly. The frontal bone un the side vulged out, indicating that it had been broken, and blood on the side did not run to the floor, but trickled from the chin and was absorbed by her clothing. On the left side of her head Mr, Kiernan saw no bullet hole, detected no traces of blood, yet on that side of the body, and none of it be- neath hér clothing, was the thica pocl cf blood already rererred to, aud tuere was no other blood on the floor near the body at that time. There was ao trace of it even beneath the young woman, Mr. Kier- nan is positive, else when he passed his arms under her and raised her up, he would have detected it on the floor, or perhaps have got some of it on iis civthing. The second pool of blood came from the wound on the right of the head after Kier- | nan had straightened out the body on the floor. Even after he kad dune that ne did not know there was a v.ound in the left side of her head, because the hole there was hidden by the hat, or the hatr of the young woman. To Mr. Kiernan jt appeared as if Miss Fuller had her back to the radiator when the shot was fired, and had slid down gradually and against the radiator. Her clothing was bunched beneath her and the hem of her dress had »een drawn ubove her ankles. She had not dropped quickly, else she would bave rested on the base of the | radiator. She was a woman of good weight | and the radiator ts con atively frail. She | was, most likely, placed in that position after the bullet passed througa her acad. No Revo © Seen. Mr. Kiernan {s certain, too, that there was no revolver near the right hand of the woman when he was there, and the instinct of an old newspaper man prompted him to look about for it. It was not until he had | gone for a policeman that the revolver ap- | peared, Lawyer J. F. Riley, who had been in the rcom for some time up to that point, agrees with him, Lawyer Riley heard Magee re- proving the boy Branning for having re- moved the revolver from beside the body, but neither he nor Kiernan saw it there, and there was any amount of daylight in the room.» Another singular fact is that the blood’ spots on the wail of the office and also on the partition opposite and | across the room had escaped observation. | The district attorney’s office took up the Fuller case yesterday. Col. Fellows assigned Assistant District Attorney Hartman to it, and he began a Quiet Investisation and summoned several witnesses to give preliminary testimony. An Important Disclosure.
