committee for three automobiles, in

who has always been an antl?motor car

The request from the Department of
Labor includes the $5,000 car men

Blair Lee Suggests Name to
President, So Maryland Anti
Saloon League Head Says.
That Andrew J. ("Cy") Cummings of
Chevy Chase. Md.. a member of the last
Maryland legislature and well known In
Washington, has been recommended by
8tate Senator Blair Lee to the President
as a member of the District excise board
was the claim made yesterday in Balti
more by W. H. Anderson of the Maryland
Anti-Saloon League.
Senator Lee's alleged Indorsement of
Mr. Cummings was made the basis of an
attack by Mr. Anderson, who claimed
that such a recommendation' was an af
front to the temperance people of Mary
land Senator Lee Is a candidate for
United States senator, and is now in the
midst of an active campaign.
There Is no vacancy on the excise
board at present to which Mr. Cummings
could be appointed by the President
Senator Lee said this morning that he
had no comment to make on Mr. Ander
son's statement. Mr. Cummings said that
it was so plainly a political attack on
8enator Lee that he thought he had bet
ter say nothing.
Anderson Attacks Cummings.
In his statement Mr. Anderson told of
sending an attorney to Washington to
confirm a rumor that Mr. Cummings had
been indorsed, and adds that the report
was verlned and corroborated at the
White House.
"It is ?.ot necessary to say much about
Mr. Cummings, who is commonly known
as 'Cy' Cummings." said Mr. Anderson.
"By waiting for his chance, he turned
I the trie, which Anally defeated the state
wide local option bill last time, after
pretending to be for It for two preced- j
ing sessions when his vote was not need
ed. He trains with the liquor crowd. He I
is Just a practical saloon politician of
the cheaper sort?no better, no worse.
The gross impropriety of Indorsing such
a man to administer the new excise law, j
which Is the most stringent governing
any big city In the country, is apparent
to everybody who knows him.
"But. most serious of all. we charge
that Senator Lee has run the risk of
putting the President in bad with the
temperance people of the whole coun
try in thus indorsing for appointment
a man whom he himself was afraid to
try to carry through oik the legislative
ticket in Montgomery county because
of his known liquor and other connec
tions. We believe that the President
is endeavoring to do the fair and right
thing and serve the best Interests of
the public. He cannot personally know
all applications, but must rely upon the
advice of men In the various states
whom he ban a right to trust. The in
dorsement of such a man as Mr. Cum
mings for such a position, merely in
order to get rid of him as a local po
litical millstone. 1r an Inexcusable
breach of good faith on the part of

Consolation
By WALT MASON
The heat that makes us gasp and shrivel, and hand out com
ments most uncivil keeps corn and beans alive; around in sweat
a fellow sloshes, forgetting that the Hubbard
squashes need heat to make them thrive. We all
rear up and rant together, and roast the blink
blanked, ding-donged weather, and storm arourH
like loons; and yet this heat, which seldom va
ries, is helpful to the huckleberries and also to
the prunes. In arctic realms sun rays don't siz
zle, so agriculture is a fizzle, there is no corn or
wheat; the natives wish the sun were blazing foi
they are tired of always raising cheap polar
bears and sleet. Then let us, wh:le profusely
sweating, be in no danger of forgetting whats
needed by the peas, the egg plant, with its hue
of umber, the onion and the proud cucumber, and other things like |
these. And when hot weather makes you suffer, don't be a mourn
ful whining duffer?it's foolishness to chafe; just face the issue brave
ly, stoutty, and dance and sing, and say devoutly, 'Thank God, the
prime crop's safe!"

PRECAUTION IS URGED
ON VACATION JAUNTS
Health Officials Say Much of Typhoid
Fever Here Is Contracted
Outside District.
That much of the typhoid fever prevail
ing In the District of Columbia at the
present time was contracted outside the
Dlstrct Is the belief of officials of the lo
cal health department.
In a statement. Issued today, the depart
ment urges citizens who go away on va
cations to guard against the use of pol
luted water and Infected milk and avoid
places where flies are tolerated.
"Water which is clear and sparkling Is
by no means always pure," states the re
port. "Water from shallow wells situated
near outhouses or stables is frequently
polluted. Lakes and streams into which
sewage flows are quite liable to be con
taminated. and, therefore. It Is safe, when
visiting In the country or at the seashore,
to use boiled water for drinkng purposes.
Care About Bathing Places.
"Another source of danger is bathing in
lakes or Btreams near the outlets of sew
j era. The milk supply, too, another source
of danger, should receive careful atten
tion. Find out where the milk comes
from. If fit s clean and fresh, and if the
containers are clean.
! "If any doubt exists as to the sanitary
qualities of milk it is a wise precaution
to pasteurise it before using. Files, as
has often been remarked, are another
source of danger, for when flies are in evi
dence filth abounds. Procure protection
from this source of contagion with
screens, fly traps, poisons and sticky
tapes or papers. These are safety de
vices and good things to Invest In when
: contemplating a visit to the summer re
sorts or to the country."

FAIL TO GET TOGETHER
OVER VIRGINIA DEBT
Commissioners Strive Vainly to
Beach Agreement on Amount
Fixed by Supreme Court.
Commissioner* representing Virginia
and West Virginia in the controversy
over the amount of the old state debt of
the original state of Virginia which West
Virginia should pay. met again tn joint
session today, after striving vainly all
day yesterday to reach an* agreement
The meetings are being held at the New
VVI'lard Hotel.
The Virginia commissioners submitted
a proposal that West Virginia pay the
principal of $7.182,r07, fixed tentatively
by the 8upreme Court. In 1910, with in
terest amounting to about $14,000,000.
The West Virginia representatives did
not agree to this suggestion, but proposed
Instead that the entire controversy be re
opened by subcommittees representing
both states.
The Virginia commissioners took the
position that it could not consider such a
proposal, because the principal of the
debt had already been fixed by the Su
preme Court. No way of getting the two
commissions together had been sug
gested when an adjournment was taken
late last night
It was considered probable that the dis
pute will have to be taken before the Su
preme Court again, since there seemed to
be little likelihood of the two states com
ing to an agreement. It has been decided,
however, that the two commissions dis
cuss the question thoroughly In order to
attempt to discover some possible basis
of agreement.

Title to many acres of filled-ln land
along the Potomac and Anacostia rivers
In this vicinity will be determined by
litigation to follow past and prospective
improvements to those streams by army
engineers In execution of congressional
provisions. These lands were made by
extending the shore lines of the two

claiming the flats in front of lands in
some Instances owned by private parties.
Disputes already have arisen In regard
to the ownership of certain tracts of
filled land on both sides of the Anacos

to the filled-ln portions of Battery cove
at Alexandria.
A controversy also is expected to arise
over the title to that portion of the Po

fill In behind the training dike In con
