water, with which the city of Benwood is
being supplied, was submitted and read

favorably with river water as far as its
use for various purposes is concerned.
Abount one hundred and twenty families
are now using the water and there are
fed with it's qualities. The report of the
analysis is as follows:
Nitrogen as nitrates. nine parts per
million; chlorine as odium chloride,
80. parts per Million; required oxygen, Il
part Fer million; total hardhess5 equal to
les. parts of calcium carbonate per mil
lion; permanent hardness, equal to 81 parts
of calcium carbonate per million; tempo
rary hardness, equal to 60 parts OF cal
cium c~arbonates per million. Compared
to river water at its present stage, viz:
Total hardness, equal to 40 parts of cal
cium carbonate per million. Total solids
$40. parts per million; loss on ignition. 20
parts per million, with little or no char
coal; color, clear. and odorless; water
quite free from organic contamination"

derer of Mrs. Kate j, Adams.

CINCINNATI, O., January G.-What
may be an important clew in the murder
case of Mrs. Kate j. Adams, CT New York,
has been found in the fact that before
the murder of Mrs. Adams, Won Mohl &
Co, of Cincinnati, dealers in medicines,
received a letter from H. Cornish, 1920
Broadway, New York. asking for a sam
pie of medicine advertised in a New York
newspaper. The letter was written on
stationery of the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club. Mr.. Brewster, of Won Mohl & Co,
after reading of the murder and of the
connection with the case of Corn sh, turn
ed the letter over to the police. 1t is now
in New York, where the handwriting can
be compared with that of Cornish.

He Receives Sentence of Four
Months in Jail.
In the Police Court yesterday morning
Roy H. NJ. Englis, who was arrested
Thursday by Detectives Boyd and Helan,
was arraigned, charged with being a sus-
picious character, and sentenced to serve
four months in Jail Englis was accused of
representing himself as the private secre-
tary Of Senator J. c. Burrows of Michi-
gan and was said by such misrepresenta-
ton TO have swindIed clearinghouse keep
ers. Three of them, Mrs, Barker, OF 100
B Street northwest: Mrs. Fair OF POI North
Capitol Street, and Mrs. RainsfoTd, Of 72l
East Capital Street, testified that they had
been defrauded by the prisoner. and stated
that he had to them made the misrepresen-
tation alleged.
Detective Helan testified as to the arrest
of the prisoner on several occasions for
various alleged offences. and also informed
the court that Englis had been under ar
rest in Trenton as a hotel sneakthief. His
picture, stated the detective, now adorns
the rogues gallery at that city.
After hearing the evidence Judge Kim
ball asked Englis if he had any statement
10 make, and, receiving a negative answer,
said that the prisoner had been before him
on three occasions. and though the evi-
dence presented in the former cases had
not been sufficient to secure a conviction,
il was evident that Englis was not behay-
ing in a proper and honorable manner.
The court then imposed a fine Of $40, with
the alternative Of four months in jail.
