Washington trade organizations plannirg to support completely movement started recently by the District Commissloners toward ob- talning a system of high pressure water mains for the business sections of the city, it was disclosed today. The Washington Board of Trade, the Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation all have gone on record in favor of such a system, and éach has 4 standing committee whose duty it is to promote every affort looking to this goal. Tlese organizations will take whatever steps may be neces- sary, it s sald. to assist in obtaining for’ Washington an adequate high- pressure water system for the down- town congested district Action By Board of Trade. The Board of Trade, in its bulletin just issued. calls attention to the fact that g back as 1903 it has ad- vocated such a system and that each succeeding year the dire need of its installation has been stressed. “We have not Leard of any real concrete reasons why this nuch-need- are the ed addition to our fre 'department should not be made.” the bulletin points out, “but. on the other hand, there are numerous facts and reasons to show that a public improvement of this character will prove of ines- timable benefit and service to the en- tire community.” Secretary E. Seymour of the Chamber of Commerce today stated that that organization has long been seeking to obtain a high pressure system, and will continue to work for it until something s accomplish- ed. Charles J. Columbus announced that the Merchants and Manufac- turers’ Association is not letting up in its determination to see the busi- ness section adequately supplied in this connection. The area mapped out for this sytem would include all territory from Ist to 18th streets and from B to I streets northwest. ‘Water Supply in Critical State. A pressing argument for the pres- sure system is the fact that the Dis- trict of Columbla I8 facing a critical situation with regard to its water supply. and that tlie additional filter- ed water now required for fire-fight- ing purposes puts a great strain on the already perilously-ioaded system. The high pressure mains will draw their water from the Potomac directly. The bulletin of the board of trade states that the outlying sections of the city will be benefited by the downtown pressure supply, as fire equipment now in use in the down- town district may be reassigned to duty in sections needing fire pro- tection.

June 7.—Mrs. Daniel Hon is wondering today if she made 2 mistake and gave “the cause” of equal rights for women a sctback in the south by begging off from being made foreman of a grand jury empanelled to investi- gate vice conditions in this dis- trict. Mrs. Hon gavq as a reason that men know 8o much more about v than gers and women—about violators of the law in general. the theory that it takes a thief to catch a thief she thought that a mere man should direct the grand jury probe. Two women are on the grand jury for the first time here. Mrs. Hon having as a companion Mrs, L. C. Packard, president of the Federated Clubs of Forth Smith. Wife of Former Judge. It was Judge John Brizzolara of the Sebastian circult court who of- fered the foremanship to Mrs. Hon, wife of a former judge. Mrs. Hon balked at the job. The court at first was firm, but after a lengthy parley named one of the male members, and Mrs. Hon lost the opportunity of making history for this state if not the nation. This followed instructions by the court that every bootlegger in the district must be put out of business within thirty days. In making his charge, Judge Briz- zolara said it was the first time he had had the privilege of addressing bootleg- a grand jury as “ladies and gentle- men.” He said he thoroughly ap- proved the idea of women serving on inquisitorial bodies, believing it would give a higher moral tone to the courts. As to Mrs. Hon's quail- floations to serve as foreman, the court said it appeared to him as if women wers better qualified than men to lend their assistance in up- lifting the morals of young people. He believed they were also better qualified than men to “put a damper’” on social drinking and gambling. Mrs. Hon admitted all this might be true, but she thought the leadership at this time should rest with a man. When the judge finally excused her, he did it with a parting shot that “women always want to have a clean-up, but balk when given a chance at the job." Many a “hard- botled” man lawyer in the courtroom nodded assent to this. Censured and Commend Club women are divided in their opinion as to whether Mrs. Hon did the wise thing in declining the fore- manship. Some think she gave “the cause” a black eye, while others say that she gave the men a “good jolt™ when she said it was they who know all about vice and such things. Judge Brizzolara is determined, however, that the next woman drawn on a grand jury shail be named as foreman. Some of the prominent women who- today are saying taat they would gladly” have accepted the job may yet have a chance to make good their boast. The court is keep- ing a particular eve on ther.

In epeaking today of the attack on Prohibtion Agent J. W. Barton—the attack being the latest of a serieg of such attacks on government agents working in_this city—Commissioner Gaither declared that the police de- partment neither seeks nor wishes to be a confidant of the prohibition de- partment in the matter of proposed raids. Liable to Suspicions. He said that if such information vere given to the ce depar nt and the subsequent raid proved fruit- less the department would be in an unenviable position—in that it might be suspected of having furnished a tip giving violators of the law an op- portunity of “covering up.” ‘Agents of the government, on the other hand, say that they cannot fur- nish the police department with in- formation as to their investigations that if they went around with a num ber of policemen with them their work would be hindered. They also declared that they did not always know just where their work would take them. As against the latter argument Commissioner Gaither pointed out that raids cannot be made until a warrant for the search of the prem- ises of the alleged violator has been sworn out before a United States commissioner, and then only on the oath of some one who must swear to having knowledge that the iaw is be- ing_violated Under a ruling of the attorney gen- eral of Maryland the police hive no authority to make arrests or raids for violation of the Volstead act,but are sert along, when requested by prohibition agents, to see that there is no disorder as weil as to protect the government agents in the dis- charge of their duty.
