Speaking Of his new Job as president of

pay their money and see how good and
rotten we are. If they do, the Louisville

cannot possibly be OF any earthly use to
New York or any other team.

WASTING POTOMAC WATER.
Judge Kimball Wants the Law Re-
gardtng 1t Changed.

In a recent communication to the Com
missioners Judge Kfmball, Of the police
court, suggested that in the consideration
of cases where the wasting OF Potomac
water is an issue there is great difficulty
in enforcing the ordinance by reason OF the
presence of the word permitting" in Sec
ton 32, affecting liability, since it holds
owners responsible for the acts of their
servants He wanted the word stricken out.
The matter was sent to Attorney Thomas
with the request for his opinion, and yes
terday the attorney responded, in which
he dissepted from the views OF the judge.
Mr.. Thomas is of the opinion that the
owner or occupant OF a house is properly
responsible for the conduct of his servants,
and that it is 10 defense for such owner
or occupant in proceeding before the
police court to say that the servant per-
mitted the water to run in his or her alb
sence.
In order to amend the regulation to
meet the objection of Judge Kimban," the
attorney says, lit will be necessary to re-
form the entire section" and he accord
ingly submits an amendment to the sec
ton which he thinks will cover the defects.
