MILLION DOLLARS
Necessary TO Give Portland a Suf-
fcent Water Supply.
The Boosted Bull Run System Gave ou,
When II Was Most Badly
Needed.

After long article under bic scare
heads on the lnadequacy Of the BulI
Run water system, the Portland Tele-
gram or Friday evening concludes
with this paragraph:
"The only remedy for this state OF
affairs according ~ the judgment OF
the water committee officials, Is tc
spend a MILLION DOLLA RS 10 the
construction Of another water main tc
the Bull Run river or else by the use
OF meters stop the waste Of water"
This Is a tremendous confession OF
the Portland system from newspapers
that have meyer failed 70 rive Salem
Water Co. a roast, no matter how
unwarranted OF unfUunded the at
tack.
The fact now appears that
Portland has an inferior water
supply TO Salem. After It's world
vide boasting about the superiority
Of Bull Run water, ana the ISLANDERS
about the inferiOrlty aud unhealthiul
quality OF Salem water, IL appears
that the Portland water plant Is both
inadequate aud unsafe.
Confession Is good for she soul Of
even souless corporation and here is
the proof from the Telegram article:
1T 10 ascertalned at The Otlice 81
the water committee that nearly "a,
0O0,O 900 gallons Of water pass through
the Bull Run main pipes per day.
THIS quantity OF water is sufficient
70 meet every reasonable dsmaud Of
the city at all times Yet during the
recent cold snap the supply was not
sufficient, the East Side storage res
eryOlrs were drawn on % make up the
deficiency. II the cold weather had
continued few days longer the reser-
yOlrs would haYe been exhausted en-.
tirely, and many persons would have
been without water. AS II was, only
the higher portions OF tire city SUI
fcred by both the low aud high pres
sure service. Some Of the houses we're
entirely without water for short
time. Those who were without water
Thought the pressure might have been
Increased, forgetting the fact that the
water service IL based upon the gray
10y system, and that IL Is impossible
10 increase the PRESSURE. This lack
Of pressure was due entirely 10 the
waste Of water
What Is the plain meaning Of this ?
Gravity pressure Is only 80 much. II
CANNOT BE INCREASED. There
was no pressure iG the higher parts Of
the city. The pipes were al frozen.
Az Salem the pressure was Just as
GOOD la the HIGH places as
elsewhere. No families went with
Dut water during the cold spell II they
'hut on the supply at night. The
trouble about waste water IL as
great at Salem as at Portland,

WOODBURY. CHARTER.
Arguments Of Both Sides on Reheanng
Before Judge Boise.

/
Before Juoge Boise,
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock a
motion for rehearng 10 the WOodburn
charter case came before Judge Boise
10 Department No. 2, 0f the circuit
court.
j. II. McNary read the motion at
tacking the act mainly on the ground
that the terms Of the bill did not det-
niLly lix It's time Of going into effect,
and that the emergency clause did not
properly define the Emergency; also
made an argument.
In the body Of the act IL Is provided
that the election shall be held within
ten days Of the passage OF the act.
Ia the constitution the word "pas-
sage" means when II has passed both
branches Of the legislat ture, having no
reference TO It's approval by the gov
etnOr nor 10 It's time OF becoming a
law. Therefore the ten days within
which the election must be held be-
gan 10 run as soon as the bill had
passed both houses aud not from the
time Ut It's approval by the governor.
The act Of the governor Is
MT legislative. A veto is merely a
move for reconsideration by the
legislative body,
Tue contention Is that the legisla-
ture did not declare an emergency ia
this case, The intention Of the
Trainers OF the constitution undoubt-
edlY was that the legislature, Ia de-
clarlng an emergency, should set forth
what the emergency is. That had not
been done In this case. The court
could decide whether an emergency
had really been declared, within the
meaning Of the constitution.
Bingham spoke briefly, calling the
courts attention t0 "A couple OF decis.
ions Of the Oregon supreme court, nth

l2o. These decisions SHOWED that the
word passage ge"meant when all thiLgs
necessary 20 tile act becoming "A law
had been performed They also
showed tnat an emergency had been |
properly declared Ia this case by the |
legislature.
Carson showed that the bill passed |
the senate on January %, the house |
on February |, reached the governor
on Februarp 4, aud was hled with the
secretary uf state on February. 7. The
election was then called for February
10, within the ten days required. lie
asked that the motion tor rehearing
be- oyrrruled
HOLMES cOnJended that the legisla-
ture had not brought itself within
grounds ia declaring
in emergency. The mere empty
words had been used The reasons
must he explicitly stated aud made
TITS dill had not become law un.

NY ., or before the law went into
'ueet, lie argued that the
intent OF the law was defeated by its
lWn terms,
That is, the act provides that the
election should be held within ten
lays after IT'S passage, meaning its
'assage by both houses. IL passed
he house on February !; therefore
he election should have been held by
February II, But IL did not become
law until the 10Th, therefore
he election provided for could not be
'Sally called until the time for hold.

Of the Peace Conference Has Completed
 Its Labors.

The Hague, July 22.-The third committee of the international peace conference held session today under the presidency of Leon Bourgeois of the French delegation, and adopted article as modified The ar- ticle now reads:
 "In the international disputes involving neither country, honor nor essential inter- ests, arising from a divergence of opinion on points of fact the sgnatory powers deem it advisable that the parties which are unable to agree by diplomatic means shall institute, so far as circumstances will permit, an international inquiry, whose du- ty It shall be to facilitate the solution of these disputes by clearing up the question of fact by means of an impartial conscen- tious examination"
 After adopting article g and passing the second reading of the five articles dealing with commissions of Inquiry, the committee adopted, with slight verbal notifications articles S6 to 56 of the arbitration scheme. and then adopted the scheme as whole, bringing the abors of tL- committee to d successful conclusion.

has been very sensibly treated by the Ger man press. The swift punishment of the of- lenders is regarded as proof of the correct attitude of the United States towards Ger many. The Lokal Anzeiger said the Ameri- cans did their duty unhestitaingly. The Philippines campaign has been alluded to frequently this week. The Kreuz Zeitung says the Americans are making no progress in spite of exertion. The Tagleblatt says the campaign looks for the present like a farce, because the Americans have not suf- ficient troops in the Philippines to under take any serious operations. The Boersen Courier referring to the efforts made in Washington to raise new troops says: "Phe United States is apparently develop ing into a military state after the example of European countries'

ROOT ACCEPTS
 WAR PORTFOLIO President Receives a Telegram of
 Acceptance. PLATT Is IN GOOD HUMOR Pleased With the Selection, Although He
 Preferred Green.
ROOT A PROMINENT LAWYER
Secretary Alger Wrote Letter to His Successor Urging Him to Accept the Appointment-Pres
 Will Go to Mountains

Washington. July 22-Enhu Root, of New York, has accepted the war portfolio in President McKinley's cabinet.
 The telegram of acceptance was received shortly after noon today, while Secretary Long was with the president. Secretary Alger had just left.
 The tender of the war portfolio was made to MT. Root last night after the conference at the white house. As the president will leave for the Adirondacks Tuesday or Wednesday, it is not probable that MT. Root will come to Washington to confer before that time.
 It is regarded more likely that Mr. Root will meet the president at Lake Cham plain the latter part of the week.
 Mir. Root is a lawyer by profession He was born in Clinton, Oneida county, New York, on February 15, 1854 His father, Oren Root, was d professor of mathematics fn Hamilton college from IS4s till 1885. The son was graduated from there in 1874, adopted the profession Of Jaw and settled in New York city, where he has attained nigh zaputation. In 3-'S5 he was United States distldct attorney for the southern district of New York.
 1Jatt in uood Humor
 Senator Platt left Washington this morn- ing in good humor, because although he came here to press the case of General Greene for the secretaryship, he gladly ac- Quiesced in the presidents decision to ap- point MT. Root.
 Mr. Platt, who arrived here last night, called at the white house as soon as he arrived and spent some time with the pres- ident ln talking over the matter He soon learned that the presidents choice was MT. Root, and that MT. Root had been offered the place.
 Secretary Alger had confidently expected the appointment of MT. Root and was very much pleased at the presidents choice. This was evidenced in the following letter whicf Secretary Alger addressed to his successor:
 "Wasiio Fton D. C., July q, 1899. My Dear Root:-All l know is what the newspapers say that you are to succeed me as secretary of war. Should it come to you, l most urgently urge you to make the sacrifice and accept the position. With your knowledge of law and your excellent health, you can serve the country in way given to few men. Sincerely yours,
 "R. A. ALGER. "Hon. Elihu Root, New York"

INGERSOLL TO BE
 BURIED TUESDAY In Accordance With the Wishes of His
 Widow and Daughters. WILL BE SECULAR FUNERAL
Family Declined Offers of Several Or
 CheStraS to Furnish Music.
CREMATION WAS PREFERRED
By Deceased as the Most Sanitary and Satisfactory Way of Disposing of the eDead-Telegrams otSym-
 pathy to the Family.

New York, July 22.--As yet no arrange ments for the funeral of the late Robert G. Ingersoll have been made. Monday had been settled upon for the funeral by the male members of the family, but the widow and daughters wished the funeral on Tues day and that is now the date.
 It will be a secular funeral. Today there came many offers from musicians of note to bring their orchestra and play but the fam fly declined them all. There will be no mu- sic perhaps not even an address. No sing ing, no prayers, nothing but last leave taking.
 We can do nothing about the arrange ments," said MT. Terrell, until Mrs. Inger- soil says what she wishes done. The colo mel often told me he preferred cremation as the most sanitary and satisfactory way of disposing of the dead, but he has also told me that he did not believe he could bring himself to cremate one of his loved ones if he survived, thoughe he knew 1t to be the rational way.
 "He has told me, too, that for himself he cared nothing after he was dead His family, he felt, could do as they pleased For that reason l cant say now what will be done. At any rate the interment will be in Woodlawn or in Sleepy Hollow. We have done nothing about the last arrange ments, though, even the pail bearers having not been selected"
 There were many callers today and hun dreds of messages of condolence were re- ce1ved by the family. Among them are the following:
 Message of Sympathy
 Am overwhelmed with your loss. Our greatest sympathy with the family"
 (Signed.) WINFIELD s. SCHLEY."
 Am deeply pained to hear of your great loss and sorrow. Be assured you and your family have the sincere sympathy of our entire family.
 (Signed) STEPHEN B. ELKINS."
 words cannot express our sorrow and our sympathy.

 "All of our family unite in profound and loving sympathy. Millions mourn with you In your great bereavement
 (Signed) EUGENE V. DEBS"
 We tender you our most heartfelt sym pathy in this hour of great bereavement.
 (Slgned) "A M PALMER"
 IL Is With sincere regret that we learn of your husbands sudden end We all sympathize with yourself and family in your Sdu bereavement.
 (Signed) JOHN w M'KAY"
 Regarding Colonel Ingersolls estate his brother-in-law and private secretary, c. P. Farrell, said; If he left a will I don't know of it.. Colonel Ingersoll died poor He was great money earner, but a poor money saver. For years and years, per- haps thirty years, his income was immense. l can not recollect any lawyer that is his equal in earning dollars. Others have made larger fees at times, but no lawyers fees that I know of have run so high on the average.
 He has left no estate worth speaking of. Others have had the benefits of all of what he earned in the law and lecturing What he did not spend on his loved ones he gave away to charity"
