D. C. Outclassed in Water Pressure System
ditafor
26 CITIES
GIVEN
Communities One-sixth Size of
Washington Surpass in
• Fire Requirements.
Washington ia outclassed in
the matter of water supply for
fire fighting purposes by Ameri
can cities one-sixth of its size, it
was revealed today in returns of
the Board of Trade questionnaire
on high pressure water supply
systems in other cities in the
country.
Data Before Officials.
The data collected in this survey
la being tabulated by Richard L.
Conner, assistant secretary of the
board, and will be presented to the
District Commissioners and to Con
gress in the fight for a high pres
sure system in the next appropria
tion bill.
David M. Lea, president of the
rating board of the District fire un
derwriters, who haa stated that the
Installation of a high pressure sys
tem would reduce Washington’s fire
insurance rates materially, will con
fer with Francis R. Weller, chair
man of the Board of Trade commit
tee on water supply, upon the lat
ter’a return to Washington tomor
row, preparatory to a conference
this week with the District Commis
sioners.
Returns to his questionnaires
from twenty-six representative
American cities are being tabulated
today by Conner. Os these twenty
six cities, eleven have pressure sys
tems which deliver water at 300
pounds pressure per square inch at
the nozzle, and of these eleven cities
three are as large as Washington
snd three smaller, two having less
than 200,000 population.
Fifteen of the twenty-six cities
have pressures of more than 200
pounds and twenty-four more than
150 pounds. All of the twenty-six
replying, one of which has a popu
lation of but 76,000, have higher
pressure for fire fighting than the
National Capital,
Can Throw 700 Feet.
Providence, R. 1., with a present
population of 254,960, has had a
high pressure system for twenty-six
years and Rochester, N. Y. with a
population of 256.417, has had a
splendid high pressure system for
fifty years.
San Francisco, with a population
of almost exactly the size of this
city, has had a system for eleven
years, comprising two steam pump
ing stations driving turbine pumps.
A 10.000,000 gallon oil reservoir is
provided to furnish fuel for the
system.* The pumps deliver 32,000
gallons of water a minute at a
pressure of 300 pounds at the
nozzle. This permits the batter
ing down of light wooden walls so
the heart of a fire may be reached.
Nearly ten miles of ten to twenty
inch pipe deliver the high pressure
water to 5,300 acres in the San
Francisco territory, the largest such
area in the country.
Cuno H. Rudolph, president of the
Board of District Commissioners,
•aid today;
‘‘We are going to take up the
matter of the high water pressure
gt our first opportunity.”
Costs High Now.
Figures prepared by the Water
Department for the Commissioners
•how that the installation of this
modern water system would costs
In the neighborhood of 51,563 000
Twelve years ago when it was first
under consideration the estimated
cost was $750,000.
The high cost of the new water
Bystem is the principal reason wny
the Commissioners have not yet
decided to recommend it for next
year. It was pointed out today that
the Commissioners may postpone
action for a few years in the hone j
of reducing the cost of the system
The need of additional fire -jp i
paratus is also pointed out as one
reason why the new system should
be postponed. However, it was
•aid today that with the installa
tion of the high pressure system
many steam engines now used in
downtown Washington could
transferred to the outlying sections
where motor apparatus is needed.
With the high pressure system, it
would not be necessary to bring
•team engines downtown for fires.
Announcement by Insurance
underwriters that the cost of insur
ance would be reduced, it is said,
has encouraged District
and may result In their asking tor
the new water system.
All of the Commissioners favor
high water pressure. They are he*!,
♦atinr only because of the cost of
Installation which might result in
a reduction in appropriations of
other departments if Congress
should approve it.

Baptist Church, declared at the
weekly divine service of the Grand
Lodge of Masons on Temple
Heights, yesterday.
The Rev. John C. Palmer, grand
chaplain of the grand lodge, pre
sided. He praised Davenport's fa
mous "Titanic” cartoon in the New
York Journal, following the disaster,
showing the hand of God holding
the vessel | n its palm.
‘‘That is typical of God's power,”
said Dr. Palmer,” and is another
reason why we should lead the

CHARGE HE
BEAT OLD
MAN
George E. Plaster, In Several
Rows Here, Accused at
Bluemont, Va.
A warrant was sworn out in
Bluemont, Va., Saturday, for the
arrest of George E. Plaster of that
place and well known in Washing
ton, where he and his wealthy
wife spend their winters, charging
him with assault upon Albert
Ashby, aged seventy-six, also of
Bluemont. Deputy Sheriff Fulton
Lake, when about to serve the
warrant, was ordered by Magis
trate Tyler of Purcellville to de
fer the arrest owing to the fact
that Mr.- Plaster had suffered a
complete breakdown at his moun
tainside home.
Cause of Excitement.
The assault upon Ashby by Plas
ter, who is only about fifty years
old and an athlete, has Intensely
inflamed Loudoun county. Rumors
of serious trouble in Bluemont
spread like wildfire yesterday, and
long-distanqp telephone messages to
Washington told of the shooting of
Sheriff Lake by Plaster, when at
tempt was made to serve the war
rant. Mrs. Lake, over the tele
phone, says that while her husband
is not at home, she is satisfied that
the story is without foundation.
Plaster has a record as an ag
gressive man, and on several occa
sions has been arrested for assault.
On May 17, 1921, he and his wife,
Daisy Turner Plaster, the latter
a daughter of Former Admiral
Turner, were arrested in Washing
ton, and fined for assault and bat
tery upon Joseph H. Foster, chief
clerk of Hotel Roosevelt, formerly
the Hadleigh. Mr. Plaster, dis
pleased with a breakfast charge,
transferred his argument from head
waiter to hotel desk, and, infuriated
by the clerk’s assertion that prices
were plainly stated on the menu,
attacked Foster. On another occa
sion, finding her husband under ar
rest in tthe Bluemont postoffice,
Mrs. Plaster weilded a horsewhip to
such advantage that the men who
had her husband in custody fled.
Two years later Plaster built an
elaborate dance and moving picture
pavilion at Bluemont, which is very
popular with vacationists in the
hotels and boarding houses of up
per Loudoun. His father, who is
ninety-nine years old, was recently
given the position of surgeon gen
eral on the staff command of the
United Confederate Veterans.
SERVICE MEN TO TALK .

attempt to commit suicide in a
Baltimore Hotel two weeks ago
when detectives of the Monumental

have to answer several charges of
having passed worthless checks in
Maryland before he will be turned
over to the District authorities. In
spector Clifford L. Grant, chief of
detectives said today.
Keating, whose home is at 1204
Kennedy street northwest, shot him
self in the head when the Baltimore
police officers placed him under ar
rest. He was treated at the Mercy
Hospital, and when he was well
enough to leave that institution he
was given a preliminary hearing.
Magistrate Stanford, in central
court, ordered that he be held ten
days, and then given a hearing,
thus permitting the police time in
which to work out their case
against him. The ex-Government
official will probably face the
charges tomorrow or Wednesday of
this week.
After dissipating a small fortune
that he had inherited Keating is
said to have issued several bad
checks. When the police of this
city got too close to his trail he
went to Baltimore. He is said to

POSTOFFICE DECLARES
NATION IS PROSPEROUS
The country is in the firm grip
of a real wave of prosperity, it was
announced today by the Postoffice
Department, in releasing the annual
postal returns from the fifty leading
industrial cities of the country.
These figures show a 10.61 per cent
increase over the returns for the fis
cal year of 1922. The total returns
during the fiscal year ending June
30 were $29.2€1.919.18, an increase of
$2,805,416.07 over the previous year.
The bulk of this increase is from
the sale of 2-cent stamps, it is esti
mated, the increase in the number
of stamps of this denomination sob!
having increased during the year
from 75.000,000 to 100,000,000, it is
thought.

Defense Takes Up Its Side and
Submits Photos of Virginia
Plant in Evidence.
'Justice Stafford, in Criminal
Court No. 1 today, overruled the
motions to dismiss the indictments
against Charles W. Morse, his three
sons, and four other co-defendants
on trial on charges of conspiracy
to defraud the Emergency Fleet
Corporation in wartime shipping
contracts. Following Justice Staf
ford’s reading of his opinion, the
defense took up its side of the
case.
Reading his decision, Justice Staf
ford analyzed the two indictments,
count by count and after reviewing
the charges, suggested that they
sre in somewhat general terms, but
must be read "having in mind the
contracts referred to, the Acts of
Congress and executive orders; the
purpose of the same; the state of
war and the defendants* connection
with the contracts through their
relation to the various corporations
which were parties to the con
tracts.”
Opinion of Stafford.
The indictment, according to the
court, charges an unlawful conspir
acy and says that it is not neces
sary that the means of carrying it
out should be unlawful in themselves
The court held that any number of
the defendants, not less than two,
may be convicted under it "pro
vided the evidence shows them to
have been parties to the general
conspiracy charged, although Igno
rant of some of the means that
were used and ignorant of any in
tention on the part of their con
spirators to use them.”
The court admits an embarrass
ment regarding tthe other indict
ment, which charges a conspiracy
to defraud the United States through
fraudulent and false representation
to the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion.
There the indictment sets out the
nature and character of the state
ments and representations in six
ways, lettered from A to F.
The court held that all the de
fendants must be found guilty of
making one of the six false state
ment regarding the other indict
the jury cannot hold them guilty
of a general conspiracy if some'
made only one of the alleged false
statements and others made two or
more of the other statements.
“It would not be permissible,”
says the court, /‘to find all guilty
by finding that some conspired with
respect to A and others with re
spect to B or some other of the
six misrepresentations.
"The jury would have to take
up the charge as defined by each
of the six divisions of misrepresen
tations in connection with the gen
eral charge of conspiracy, and con
sider as to each which ones, if anv,
of the defendants were guilty with
respect to that misrepresentation,
and to find a verdict of guilty
against all of those defendants who
were found to have conspired touch
ing any one of the misrepresenta
tions, but beyond that the Jury could
not go.” ’
The first evidence offered by the
defense was the placing before the
jury by Attorney Nash Rockwood
of a large number of photographs
taken by Fred H. Schutz, a com
mercial photographer, showing the
plant of the Virginia Shipbuilding
yard at Alexandria, in its various
stages of building progress. Photo
graphs taken from January 19, 1918,
merely picturing the site of the
place, up to June 6, 1918, showing
the complete plant with buildings,
ways for the ships, etc., were intro
duced.
COAL HOD IS LATEST
CORN LIQUOR CONTAINER
Unique methods of transporting
liquor are always coming to the
attention of the police, but the one
they found yesterday beats them
all, police say.
Policemen Berry and Suthard, of
the Sixth precinct, were touring
around in an automobile when they
saw a colored man riding a bicycle
and carrying a coal hod. When
the officers hailed him he jumped
from the wheel, dropped the hod
and fled. In the hod was a half
gallon of corn whisky.
