INDIVIDUALS CAN
BUY ARMY FOOD
Sale of Surplus Stocks Not
Confined to Community
.Purchasing, Is Decree.
Individuals in Washington may buy
army surplus food, as well as the
municipality. Maj. E. K. Squier. In
charge of the sale of the food for
the War Department, declared last
night.
Maj. Squier's announcement dispels
all anxiety in the minds of the lead
ers in the community distribution
movement here. Heretofore an un
derstanding that War Department
regulations prohibited the sale of food
to individuals prevailed.
"I can see no obstacles to pre
vent us from going ahead with the
work.** John G. McGrath. distributor
of the first carload of food brought
here, said last night. "I was under
the impression that, owing to pres
ent circumstances, we could not ex
pect any more army food."
Not less than ten carloads will be
the next food shipment, and fifty
carloads could be handled safely, if
the District is permitted to pur
chase that much, according to state
ments made by Mr. McGrath.
Returns from the first carload of
food have not yet been completed.
Mr. McGrath said yesterday. If en
tire payments are not received by
Saturday, he must pay the amount
outstanding, which yesterday was
$1,800.
A public meeting, at which plans
for a permanent organisation will
be presented, will be held in the
board room of the District Building
at 8 o'clock tonight. Everyone in
terested in community distribution
is urged to be present.

I erfbrd B. Hartz, who started from
I Washington at 10 o'clock this morn
ing on his R.flOft-mile flight around the
borders of the United States in a
two - engined Martin bombing plane,
landed at Hazelhurst Field here at
12:47 this afternoon, and will start
for Augusta, Maine, about 7 o'clock
tomorrow morning. From there th<
next jdmp will be to Cleveland; thence
to Duluth. to Seattle, to San Diego,
to San Antonio, to Miami, and then
back to Washington.
With Col. Hartz are Ernest E. Har
mon and Lieut. Lotha A. Smith, re
serve pilots: John Harding, master
electrician, and Sergt. Jeremiah To
bias. mechanic.
Speed of lOO Mile* an Hoar.
The plane carries 300 gallons of
pasoline. sufficient for ten hours in
the air. It has twin twelve-cylin
der liberty motors of 420 horse
power each, capable of a speed of
100 miles an hour.
The proposed flight is the longest
i yet attempted by the army Air
] Service. The route lies over thirty
| one States, thirty-six mountains,
j twenty-seven railroads and eighty
j eight rivers.
It has been expected the plane
would reach Augusta this evening,
j but the plan of completing the first
leg today was abandoned after
landing here. A leak in the oil
and water tanks developed as the
plane was passing over Baltimore
and Sergt. Tobias calmly made his
way out on the eighty-flve-foot
wing, swung himself to the wires
j below and made repairs just as if j
the plane were in its hangar in- I
stead of rushing through the air at j
a ninety-mile-an-hour clip with the
j earth some .">,000 feet below.

Back Pay Fight.
| Director General Burleson, of the
j Telephone and Telegraph Administra
; tion. has ordered back pay to January
11, 1919, for telephone operators in five
i States on the Pacific Coast, it was
announced last night by Miss Julia

ference with Miss O'Connor, John J.
? Purcell, president of the International
| Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
! and the Wire Control Board. i
In granting the back pay, the Wire |
; Board recognises the claim of 12,000

for an increase dating from the ex- j
j piration of the union's former contract |
I with the companies. January 1, 1919, j

Inspectors Finally Revoke
Charters of "Lord Balti
more" and "The Penn."
MANY LIVES MENACED j
Expert Says Carriers Have
Failed to Pass Stability
Examinations.
Summary revocation of the charters
of the steamers "Lord Baltimore" and
"The Penn," by the U. S. Steamboat
Inspection Service, yesterday disclosed
that Washingtonians have been travel
ing on the Potomac to Norfolk, Va.,
on craft which have menaced the lives
I of thousands of slimmer vacationists,
i These steamers, comprising the fleet (
' of the Washington and Southern Navi
gation Company, have been popular
with those seeking coastwise recrea- i
tion on week-end trips.
Fail to Pau Testa.
George Uhler. supervising inspec
tor general of the Steamboat In-1
spection Service for the Depart
ment of Commerce, admitted last
night that both of the river ear
ners had failed \o pass "stability
test$" made on last Friday and
Sunday by his agents. |
The "Ix>rd Baltimore" was with
drawn from service about two I
weeks a^ro. ostensibly for overhaul? j
ing.
Both steamers have been in the ,
service on the Norfolk-^ ashington j
route since May 29. How they j
were passed as seaworthy and ca- j
pablc of carrying approximately 700
I excursionists on regular trips is J
something that the supervising in
i spector general will investigate, i
Since they have been in the serv
| ice both boats have encountered
? so many minor difficulties and time
j delaying breakdowns as to occasion
much unfavorable comment.
! When the "Penn" was withdrawn
from tTie service an announcement
was issued by the company that
steps were being made to replace it
with a more modern and commodl
; ous steamer.
Officer* Ape Mum.
Officials of the Washington &
I Southern Navigation Company were |
reticent last night about the future,
of the suspended steamers. It was
intimated no attempt would be |
made to remodel or repair the boats ;
to conform to government regula
tions. Instead, it was intimated the
boats removed from the river serv- (
ice would be replaced.
Supervising Inspector Uhler de
clared he was making an investiga
tion of the service and that officials (
reports detailing the result of the,
inspections would be issued today.
THIS LANDLORD
' PAYS FOR EATS
Also Refuses to Raise Rents
Of His New York
Tenants.
New Tork. July 24.?New York
I has discovered a new type of land- j
j lord. He is a real, honest to good- j
| ness landlord. He is' a human be- ,
ing. and if Nafhan Hirsch. chairman
j of the mayor's committee on rent j
profiteering, has any sayso this ex
I traordinary person will have his
I picture hung In the Hall of Fame.
He is A. Aaronson. He not only
irefused to accept increases in renti
from his tenants, some eighty-six
! in all. but he took forty of them j
out to dinner just to show them
I that he was a good fellow and that
he desired the good will and friend
ship of the tenants rather than their
hard earned dollars. J
Aaronson controls a practically
new apartment house. It is a first- |
1 class building.
I Cats Rent Inereaaej Give* Dinner.
The tenants have been enjoying
moderate rents, some of them pay
ing $9.50 and some $10 a room. Last
! year, according to Mr. Aaronson.
the house was operated at a loss,
so he decided that he would increase
| the rents $2 a month. Forty of the
tenants In the house complained to
the mayor's committee and Mr.
Aaronson was invited to appear.
The landlord learned from Chair
man Hirsch that the tenants had
complained of the increase.
"All right," Mr. Aaronson de
clared. . "If they cannot pay the in
crease I will agree that they remain
In my house at an average rental of
$9.50 to $10.50 per room."

4 OFFICERS OF PACIFIC FLEET
EN ROUTE FOR WESTERN COAST
AJJMBIAZ, WOOD ~?
Pacific Fleet
Best Jap
\
America's new Pacific fleet, now
en route to Western waters by way
of the Panama Canal; will not only
equal the strength of the Japanese
navy, but in many respects will be
superior.
When the two days required to
negotiate the canal are past, the
United States will have a Pacific
coast guard of 200 ships, under com
mand of Admiral Rodman. *
The entire Japanese navy numbers
207 ships, according to the Japanese
Embassy.
Establishment of the Pacific fleet
is only a beginning of the assertion
of power on the western oceans by
the United States.
It is in accordance with the new
"three-year program" asked by the
Navy Department i#nd granted by
Congress in 1916.
This program authorizes a total
addition to the American navy of
156 vessels of all types, and a dupli
cation of the previous program call
Matches
an Can Boast
ing for ten battleships and si* hat
tie cruisers.
By 1923, when construction is
completed, the navy will have thir
ty ships of the heavy gun type in
the Pacific and thirty-one in the
Atlantic fleet.
Three years from now. if the
Japanese government continues its
present program, the United States
will have twenty superdreaduoughts
and battle cruisers, compared with
Japan's fourteen.
At the same time both the Atlan
tic and Pacific fleets will be roiinded
out with the proper proportion of
scout cruisers, destroyers, subma
rines and auxiliary craft of all
kinds.

, mony offered in the suit brought
against the office of the Comptroller

Immediately following the separa

fered and accepted a position with
the Riggs Bank.
At the morning session. A. E. Jones,

On examination by members of the
committee. Mr. Jones admitted that he

porting his charges, but that they
were based on his personal opinion of
