"Respectfully returned to tho Chief of Engi.
neers, y. $. a; There are on an average about
80 men employed daily on tho new reservoir,
or this number about fifty arc Italians. am
Informed by the contractors that these Italians
are hired In the same manner as the other
laborers. Most OF them have been at work for
several years for the parties doing the work on
The reservoir In other parts OF the country.
They are employed through no middlemen or
under no contract. They are paid Sl12t, per
Gay, Instead OF S1.25 per day, US paid to other
iaborers. The reason of this is that, as rule,
they are not as good laborers as the general
run OF white men and negroes, and spend loss
money at the contractors store.
"There have been no Italians imported from
anywhere to work on tho reservoir, and the
charge that this work is being done by Ttalian
contract labor, imported under contract is
decidedly false and utterly without iounia-
ton.
"Even II this work was being done In this
manner, this office would be powerless to pre-.
vent IT, as the contractors have the undou6 tsd
right to DO their work with such labor as 10
them seems best.

dock at the Police Court this morning for be-
Ing drunk and disorderly. When tho old man
awoke this morning out OF his drunken sleep
he imagined that he had committed somo hor.
rible crime. When he was arraigued he shut.
ied around in the dock and held up his hands
In holy horror and asked in trembling voice:
'Did kill anybody You arc not charged
with killing anybody" said the clerk. The
old man quietly pleaded guilty to tho charge
OF being drunk and dlsorderly and got fifteen
days on the farm,
