FIRE PROTECTION HIT BY CHTIZENS Northeast Body for Prompt Installation of High- Pressure Water. Charging that due to the lack of #dequate fire-fighting japparatus the fire department of the District. of Co- lumbla s “one of the worst in the country,” Dr. L. D. Walters Intro- duced a resolution urging that a high- pressure water system be installed in the District as soon as possible, at a meeting of the Northeast Washing- ton Citizens' Assoclation, in the northeast Masohic Temple last night. ‘The resolution was approved and the committee on fire and police was authorized to take all steps possible toward obtaining results. Dr. Walters stated that about two- thirds of the fire-fighting apparatus is out of repair and that in many instances the old-fashioned horse- drawn engine still is utilized. “If hree fires happened to start at the same time the city would burn u he said. Bond Issue Opposition. A score or more of objections were raised by the association in a resolu- tion opposing a bond issue for the Dis- trict. Among them were: That the residents of the District have already paid the cost of the needed improve- ments into the Treasury time and again and that there is now an ad- mitted credit of §5,000,000 to the Dis- trict in the Treasury; second, the long-time loan would make the in- terest to be on the bonds more than double the principal; third, the pro- posed improvements would become antiquated while the coming genera- tion would still be paying the inter- 25t on the money raised to make Them Then there were other objections, such as it not being definite as to what the money thus raised would be spent for, also that it is doubi- ful as to what interest would he paid on the debt. It was pointed cut that since the residents of Washing- ton are not allowed to vote, the fod- eral government should bear the heavier part of the burden in making civic improvements. 60-40 Plan Explained. Bvan H. Tucker, president of the assoclation, told of the 60-40 plan of taxation, which, he said, was sup- posed to be the method of raising money for improvements, the federal government to pay 60 per cent and the residents 40 per cent. A resolution was indorsed protest- ing the action of the Public Utilities Commission in granting to the street railway companies the right to oper- ate bus lines. This should not be allowed upder ‘the charters granted the’companles, for a’ specific purpose, the operation of street cars, by Con- gress, the resolution’declargd. - A res- olution indorsirig the” sale .of three street car tokens for 20 cents was in- troduced by Roscoe Jenkins. The board of education was urged to have school children wear .uniforms or to hate them adopt some. simple style of clothes for school wear. Mr. Tucker was unanimously elect- ed to serve his thirtieth consecutive term as president of the assoclation. A1l of the other incumbent officers were unanimously re-elected. Addl- tlons to the executive committee were L. R. German, W. G. Lang. Bruce I. Casteel, Edward Parker and J.M Pearce. SPECIAL NOTICES. FIYMAN N.

Y., October 13. —Irene Castle’s Parisian anklets— it was rumored she wore them the last time she danced in the French capital and that they cost a “pret- ty penny”—were sold at auction here yesterday by a deputy col- lector of internal revenue at the federal building for $3.98. A la- borer in the federal building was the highest bidder. The anklets, apparently of sil- ver, set with brilliants—Broadway thought them diamonds and the dancer’s intimates whispered their value ran Into four figures—were seized in Ithaca and turned over to customs authorities here more than a year ago, following failure to de- clare them along with other jew- elry brought from abroad. NEW JEAN VALJEAN REVEALED N DEATH Mayor Rose to Riches From Jail—Killed Self When Blackmail Took All. By the Associated Press. IRVINGTON, N. J., October 13.— The tragic story of a man who erred in his wouth, paid the penalty and then set out to regain the respect he had lost, only to succeed and have his early folly once more brought to life, was unfolded yesterday when the prosecutor began an investigation into the motives that prompted the suicide on September 26 of Mayor Ed- ward R. Folsom of Irvington It . was in Hammondsport, N. Y., that the story began. Folsom's fam- ily was poor. The girl he loved was the daughter of the wealthiest man in town. Her father refused to accept the lowly youth as his son-in-law. The boy was desperate, He forged the wealthy man's name to several checks and later was caught red- handed robbing a bank. Pardoned by Roosevelt. His sentence was ten years at hard labor in Auburn prison, but the late Theodore Roosevelt, then governor, pardoned him after three ,years had been served, in response to petition of Hammondsport citizens, headed by the girl's father. Folsom and the girl were married then, but they decided to move away and start life anew. They came to Irvington, where Folsom established a business, won his way into many friendships and prospered. He was elected mayor and his work in civic and church affairs was praised by all who knew him. Then came the dark cloud that cast a shadow over the man who had erred in his youth. Some (his son says the Drosecutor has their names) who knew his past confronted him with th: facts and demanded blackmail. Pald All He Had. At his - death it was believed the | mayor had little left of the fortune he had built up through hard work. It was said he bad paid $25,000 in the past twelve months alone to keep ths secret. The blackmail began about three years ago. And on September 26 he died. At first it was belleved he had died from an accidental dose of a sedative. Then it was learned he was a suicide. The investigation unfolded the facts of his life, and his wife, who has been with him 'and_known of all his trials | since he was released from prison, de- clares she knows those who took his fortune for his secret.

' A survey to determine school play- ground needs, both as to equipment and land, and discover avallable sites for recreational purposes will be made by the recreation committee of the District Public School Association, it was decided at a meeting last night in the Wilkins building. The committee voted to back to the limit both the municipal and_ school playground items included in the Dis- trict's estimates for the next fiscal year. An_astonishing lack of space for children in the most congested sec- tions was repofted by the committee. Much school playground aparatus is in need of inspection and repair. Ben Murch, supervising principal, ~said, and the committee will consult the District engineering department and playground ~ department officials to have regular inspection of school aparatus and instruction to school janitors in the best methods of in- specting and caring for it. For Regular Inspections. Mr. Murch said last week orders went from the superintendent of schools to all school jani regular inspections of s rings and other paraphernalia. It was reported the District is now being sued by a parent of a Bruce School lad whose arm was broken when a swing chain came apart, An appeal from Dr. Ballou to the com- mitteo to get behind school budget items was indorsed. At. Mr. Murch's suggestion it was also determined to back the municipal program. Most of the school playground budget of about a half million will go for pur- chase ~ of playgrounds adjacent schools, but the municipal items will carry a big appropriation for super- vision. Report of playground activities in other cities showed the District far behind, Mrs. J. M. Bischoff said. She has made appeals to women's clubs throughout the country to urge their representatives and senators to deal justly by the District's children. J. G.

By the Associated Press. WILMINGTON, Del, October 13.— Agreement in the government's suit against the Chemical Foundation, Inc., | for the recovery of seized enemy dye | and chemical patents sold to the foun- dation by the allen property custodian was concluded last night in federal dis- trict court here, However, each side was given three additional weeks in which to file supplemental briefs. Judge Morris then will take the matter under is practically certain that the case will | be carried to the United States Su- | preme Court for a final decree. Each side regards the action as of far-reach- ing importance. Government _counsel have contended that the national faith and credit is involved, while counsel for the defense have argued that a decree for the government will result ulti- mately in the return of the patents to the Germans and a destruction of the American chemical industry. Denies Slur at Wilson. Argument today was wholly on the issues of the fact and law involved, but in opening his address Henry W. An- derson, special assistant to the Attor- ney General, disclaimed any intention on the part of government counsel tq criticize either former President Wil- | son or former Acting Secretary of State | Polk in connection with the transfer of the patents. Referring to a claim_of such criticism by defense counsel, Mr. Anderson called attention that a spe- cific disclaimer of any such intention ! was contained in the government's brief, “We intended to indicate,” he said, | “that the matter was an error of law and to explain how any error of law will arise even among men of the highest character and caution. There way no intent to reflect in any way upon the President.” 1 Mr. Anderson amended certain sec- | tions of the government's brief to correct statements claimed by the fense to be erroneous. With respect to the assertion in the brief that A. Mitchell Palmer, former Attorney | General, had “deliberately perverted to selfish ends” a trust with which he | was charged while alien property custodian, Mr. Anderson sai Mr. Palmer had imposed conditions in the eale of the patents which destro; d their value and had taken steps “to | turn to the advantage of manufac- turers. Judge Morris interrupted to inquire if Mr. Anderson found any instance in American history in which similar language was used by a successor with respect to a predecessor in office. | The brief was signed by Attorney | General Daugherty. | “I assume,” Judge .
