BY Mechanical Means.

Owing to the high rate of filtration en-
| p!oyed, the publication obtained cannot be
| satisfactory so loTg as no other conditions
| than those occurring in ordinary filtration
| are brought into play; and consequently the
! attempt has been made to treat the water
with chemicals in such way as to allow
satisfactory publication to be attained at
| higher rates than would otherwise be pos
| sble and rs are only suited to sand fiitra-
| ton. This attempt has given rise to the
| so-called mechanical filters" of which the
| peculiar features are filtration at rates
many times as nigh as are allowed in Eu-
| ropean practice, and the Use of alum add
| ed to the water as coagulent before fill
tration.
These filters have been used for the fill
tration Of considerable number of public
water supplies i'll the United States partic-
ulariy IN the south and west but up TO the
present time no definite and unuuestiona Bile
assurance has bsen given that public wa
| ter supplies can be adequately purified in
TINS way, as has been abundantly shown
to be the case with the slow sand filtration
50 extensively used abroad The CONNER
cial interests involved have largely pre-
vented the impartial consideration of the
merits and dement's of these filters; and
up to the present time rigid and scientific
| tests OF their efficiency have not been made
ard published, although there is reason to
hope that the results of such thorough
tests viii be available at an early date.
Ihere mas been some contention as to
WHICH WAS tHe more expensive, mechanical
nlters or ordinary sand filters for
while mechanical filters operate at very
much higher rates, and consequently
require only a much smaller ffltering
area, the cost of constructing them
per unit of area is enormously great
er; and the aggregate cost of a plant
with given capacity is hot so much less
than that of ordinary sand filters as might
be at first supposed Data are also lacking
Tor determining the comparative costs of
operation, but the alum required with the
mechanical hlters is an items of consider
able Importance for which there is no
equivalent in ordinary sand filtration: and
1t is probable that sand filtration is as
cheap. or cheaper. in its operation as me-
chanical filtration; while the hygenic re-
suits from sand filtration are much better
understood and cannot in any case be ex-
ceeded, and probably cannot be equaled by
those from mechanical filters
About Sand Filters
The extent to which sand filtration is
used is well shown by list of fifty Euro
pean cities, prepared from my notes, with
an aggregate population by the census of
1880 Tor 1S9D of 1921 14S. This list does
not include innumerable small cities and
some larger ones, which would increase the
total to, probably, at least twenty millions
Filtfat1on was also employed by numerous
cities In India, China and Japan, some Of
the works being quite large; while In
America at the present time at least eight
municipalities with an aggregate popula-
ton OF 11O.509 are supplied with water fl
tered by sand filtration.
The construction of sand filters involves

FARMERS IN CONVENTION
National Congress of Agricultural
TOilers Continues in Session
at Indianapolis.
BETTER HAVE VOTED As THEY NOW TALK
General Assembly of Knights of Labor
Sovereign Denounces the Specu-
lating Classes-Knights Urged
TO Stand for Silver.

Indianaolis, Nov. 1.-THE Farmers
National congress to-day by resolution
req quested ex-President Harrison to ad-
dress the body.
The president of the congress, referring
to the bill pending in the United States
senate providing for an industrial COM
mission, said that action should be taken
y, the farmers convention looking t0
the appointment of one or perhaps two
of the five members of the commission
from the membership of this congress.
Resolutions were introduced as follows:
Suggesting s. W. Allerton, of Illinois, for
secretary of agriculture; requesting con-
gress to appointa corps of civil engineers
to examine and report as to the practica-
bility of constructing ship canal con-
Meeting the Atlantic with the great lakes
by way of the rivers and the Gulf of Mex
leo; declaring, as the sense of this con-
gress, that women should be given the
rights of suffrage; that the congress of
the United States should take active
measures to restrict undesirable immigra-
tion, to discontinue class legislation and
discourage sectionalism.
W. s. Hoffman, OF Illinois, introduced
a resolution to the effect that, inasmuch
as tine supreme court decided the tax on
incomes unconstitutional, all farm prod
ucts should be exempt from assessment
or taxation.
Stahl, of Illinois, introduced the fol-
lowing: "Resolved, That this congress
demands that the laws against trusts be
epforced and the laws now inadequate
strengthened"

TROUT MURDER TRIAL.
Attorneys for the Defendant Make a
Fruitiess Effort to Secure Con-
tinuance on Technical
Grounds.

There was somewhat more than ordi-
nary stir this morning around the dis
trict court, the occasion being the ar
raignment of Edward Trout, who is &C.
cuBed of the murder oSt Japanese girl,
Kihu Honda. A large number of wit
nesses had been summoned and we're on
hand to await the pleasure of the ,ourt,
says the Albuquerque Citizen of yester-
day. s
The prisoner, escorted by Jaier Jones,
came into the court room fresh and smil-
ing, looking none the worse for his four
months incarceration. Clean shaven
and neatly dressed, he presented an ap-
pearance much Mt variance with the grave
charge upon which he is indicted. Called
to the bar of the court and required to
plead, Trout eaid in clear, steady voice,
81 am not guilty."
The attorneys for the defense then
moved for continuance of the case, on
the ground that the present petit jury is
not legal jury, claiming that the trial
judge, N. G. Collier, arbitrarily and with
out warrant of law, discharged half Of the
venire and caused a substitution of other
names to fill the vacancies thus made.
The prosecuting attorney, having had
no previous notice of this motion, asked
the court for time in which to prepare
his argument, and O'Clock this afternoon
was set as the time for argument Of the
motion.
In the afternoon, after listening to ar
gument of counsel on either side, Judge
Collier overruled the motion and the case
will be proceeded with at 10 a. N. to-
morrow, until which time jurors and wit
nesses we're excused.

HOw TO PREVENT GROUP.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE INTER-
EsTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW TO GUARD
AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers and
to post them concerning the cause, first
symptoms and treatment is the object of
this icem. The origin of Group is COM
mon cold. Children who are sub ject to
it take cold very easily and Group is
almost sure to follow. The first symptom
is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough, which is easily
recognized and will never be forgotten
by one who has heard it. The time to act
is when the child first becomes hoarse. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon
disappear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the attack.
There is no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains nothing injurious. For
sale by all druggists.

The TOrrens Law EaiIs.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE Torrens law, the
real estate mans particular statute, is
dead. The supreme court of Illinois, sit
ting at Ottawa, has declared it unconsti
tutional. Its purpose was to make land
transfers easy by substituting for the
bulky abstracts of title certificate of
title, which could be taken from the rec
ords of the registrar of titles in a few
minutes.
The law made the county recorder the
registrar of titles, and by this made him
Judge Of the validity of titles. After his
decision had been recorded in the books
for five years, without protest, it was to
be guaranty of clear title. This vesting
of judicial power in the county recorder
is the point where the law and the consti-
tuition clashed.

VENEZUELAN ARBITRATORS
King Oscar II :, OfSweden and Norway,
Agreed Upon as the Fifth
Arbitrator.
May SUBSTITUTE HIS CHIEF JUSTlCI
Other Four Will Be Designated by Lord
Chief Justice of England and Chief
Justice of United States, Each
Naming Two.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE exclusive
information furnished by the Associated
Press that King Oscar H., of Sweden and
Norway, had been agreed on as the fifth
and final arbitrator of tie Venezuelan
question and that the. other four arbi-
traitors would be named by the judicial
authorities Of the two countries, two by
the lord chief justice of England and two
by the chisf Justice of the United States,
has been fully verified from authorita-
tive sources. An official announcement
is likely to be made at an early day.
The additional information can be
given that the agreement is that King
Oscar II. will be the fifth arbitrator with
the understanding that, if his royal func-
tions are such as to make it undesirable
to sit with the arbitrators, he will desig-
nate another, probably his chief justice.
to participate in the formal meeting.

West Bound Fast Mail Train Ditchetl
by a Broken Rail This Morning.

Ogallala, Neb., Nov. 1.-THE Union
Pacific passenger train, westbound from
Denver, struck broken rail here to-day.
A tourist car, two chair cars and one

A NEW RAILROAD.
The San Luis Valley to Get sylvester
Smiths Cripple Creek Line.

Denver, Nov. 11.--President Syl. I.
Smith, of the Florence Il Cripple Greek
railroad, returned from the east yesterday.
The Golden Circle railroad will be pushed
ahead to meet the growing demands of
the great gold camp and this work will
be done with Colorado capital
The dirt will commence to fly on the
Florence Southern railway as soon as
spring opens and this line may push on
to Alamosa, beyond the present end of
the survey. The San Luis valley crops
are increasing each year. The route over
Mosoa pass has been surveyed and 1t can
be pushed on 2 per cent grade.
1t now seems probable that the Flor
ence Southern will be broad gauge line
instead of a narrow gauge, as was at first
contemplated.

Chairman Blydenburgh, of the Demo-
cratic state committee, has issued the fol-
lowing bulletin ~
"We have complete returns from nine
counties. There are still ten precincts to
hear from outside of Big Horn county.
We have returns from five precincts in
Big Horn county. These give maj critics
for the Democratic candidate greater
than our ante. election estimates, and If
the same gain continues in the remain

IRELAND MAY Be REMOVED
Sensational RumOr That the Pope is
Displeased with the Minnesota
Archbishop.
He May SOON BIZ SUMMONED TO ROME
The Archbishop Made Light of the
Report When His Attention Was
Called to It-Not Confirmed
at Washington.

Philadelphia, Nov. 11.-From excellent
authorities, having sources of official in
formation, it is learned that the attention
of Rome has been called in an indirect
manner to the sermon delivered by Arch
bishop Ireland at Washington on the oc-
casion of the conservation of Bishop
O'Gorman.
The archbishop referred to the bishops
as the main strength of the Catholic
church. As the Jesuits and other religious
orders have no bishops, the expression
was construed to be reflection on the
orders.
It is not known that the sermon was
officially communicated to Rome, but it
certainly reached there and has been the
subject of the recent adverse comment IN
the Clvitta Catholic newspaper, organ of
the Jesuits; while from the recent pub
licity at Rome given to the Ireland ser
mon it is the judgment of those in posi-
tion to understand the facts that this is
the basis for the reports from Rome that
Archbishop Ireland will be SUNNI oned
there and removed.
1t is believed that the pope's decision
will be adverse to those seeking Ireland's
removal. Further than this there has
been nothing from Rome to indicate the
dlspleasure of the pope and others in
authority.
The archbishop's advocacy of McKin
ley's election has not figured in the mat
ter.

UNDER AN INJUNCTION.
The Kansas A., T. 4 =. f. Receiver
ship Row Must Wait several
Months.

Topeka, Kas., Nov. 1O.-Attorneys and
officials of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad company took decisive ac-
tion yesterday in the receivership pro-
ceedings begun last Thursday in the state
district court. At very early hour they
appeared at Oskaloosa, where the re-
ceivership proceedings we're instituted
before Judge Myer. After fling the
usual papers with the clerk of the dis.
trict court and taking transcript of the
receivership case they returned to To.
peka and filed the documents with the
United States circuit court, together with
a motion to transfer the case to the fed
eral court.
Charles johnson, the receiver appoint
ed by Judge Myer, was due to qualify to-
day, but the company's lawyers got into
court first, and it is limited that his bond
can no. be accepted without the consent
of the federal Judge.
Charles Blood Smith, an interested
bond. holder, appeared before United
States Judge Foster at Fort Scott, and
secured temporary injunction against
the receiver appointed in the state court
Mr.. Smith in his application for injunc.
tion maintains that the alien land law of
Kansas does not apply to railroads.
Judge Foster enjoins Mr.. johnson from
interfering in any manner with the Santa
Fe property pending hearing at To-
peka on November %.
In the motion to transfer filed at Os-
kaloosa this morning the Santa Fe
lawyers maintain that the appointing of
receiver by the state court would be an
interference with Interstate commerce,
and that the enforcement of the order
dividing the company's lands into 160-
acre tracts and selling them would de-
stroy the railway and SO be unconstitu-
tional, in that it would impair the obll-
cations of contract between the cor
poration and the state, as embodied in
the company's charter.

assembly of Knights of Labor went into
secret session Immediately after conven-

doors until p. m.
General Master Workman Sovereign's
report was read and was followed by the
report of the general secretary and treas
urer.
Mr.. Sovereign said: "After struggle
of twenty seven years against the evils of
aggregated wealth by our order, we are
confronted with more serious problems
affecting the rights and liberties of the
industrial masses than ever before. Not
only have the idle specializing classes
demonstrated their ability to dominate
productive enterprises and accumulate
the wealth of the toiliug millions, but
they have demonstrated their power to
coerce the wage earners and mortgaged
farmers with threats of discharge and
foreclosure into submission to their will.
"In the struggle just passed, the Knights
of Labor proved itself the only labor or.
ganization that stood like an iron wall
before the fire of the organized money
power of two continents. Every general
officer and every district and local as
semoly OF our organlzaSion spurnoo
