her warm applause. giving her audi
ence the full benefit of the rich humor
that was interviewer in the lines of
her selections. The closing number
was intrusted to Abe Rosenfield,
whose singing of 1.-The Ragtime
Hymn" produced such a storm of ap-
plause that he was obliged to sing

music with him, he gave a little ditty

lnounced that it would be sung in
German, and if Abe did misrepresent
the style of dialect ne was to use, it

better. Following the program re-

for Actual Commission
of Crime.

The trial of Hugo Hincher for may
hem was concluded in the circuit
court yesterday afternoon and a YER
dict was returned finding him guilty
of assault with intent to commit may
hem.
To the surprise of the court, an
examination of the statutes showed
that the penalty for attempted may

commission of the crime. Udder the
former there is no escape from the
penitentiary. the sentence varying
from one to II years Under the
latter either term in the penitenti-
airy or fine and Jail sentence may be
imposed.

Ten Samples Taken.

Ten Samples Taken.
The samples, after examination,
show the river water is in normal
condition at the pre- sent time, with
low sediment. not deep color, and
rather a clear water. The river
water shows evidence of the presence
of some sewage, both by the chemical
and meteorological samples. The
water in the shut-olf reservoir con-
tains no evidence of these sawagic
forms, but all of the other samples
are very much alike and much like
the river, and suspicious forms were
taken from the water from the intake,
from the well, from the Lincoln school
and from a residence in the vicinity.

From G. nj. Witherell. superintend-
ent of the waterworks, it was learned
today that owing to the ice in tbs
filters at the reservoir it is impossible
to fully treat all the water that is
pumped into the city mains. and it is
therefore necessary to make up the
deficiency in raw" water. While
the reservoir has been operated
through the winter, the filters have
not been able to perform what they
will do under ordinary conditions
owing to the formation of ice.
May Explain the Whole Problem.
This may explain the whole prob
lem, as it will be seen by the Beloit
examination that there are no impuri-
ties in the water fully treated by the
reservoir, while there are suspicious
forms in that drawn from the mains
in the city these latter samples, APP
parently, being from the ''raw" water
supply.
Two conclusions. at least, that
would seem most naturally to be
drawn from the investigation made at
Beloit are that the city should adopt
means. if possible, of protecting
the reservoir so that the fill
tiers may be operated at all
seasons of the year. and of
looking into the feasibility. of
locating the intake pipe in the
river where the water is not subject
to the impurities that are at present
noticeable.

Forecast Is Reliable.

AS stated in last evenings ARGUS
neither Prof. George c. Albee, of the
high school, who is Withholding the
facts of the report until the next
meeting Of the council, nor Mayor Nc
Conochie, will give out any infor-
but THE ARGUS is able today, never
theless, to present a forecast of the
same that can be depended upon to be
reliable.
Ten samples were taken to Beloit
by Prof. Albee. They were collected
from the sources of supply and the
points on the service in the city. On
account of wreck on the railroad
Mr.. Albee was delayed, so that the
samples were some SO hours old when
they reached the laboratory.

The preliminary report of the tests
of Rock Island water made at Beloit,
as stated in The ARGUS heretofore,
vindicates the reservoir as a purifying
agency and brands as false the senss-
tional stories that have been circu-
lated incident 10 the prevalence of
typhoid fever that the system was a
breeding place for the germs that
were causing the spread of the di.
ease throughout the city.
Furthermore, the report shows the
presence of sewage in the water from
the river, indicating that the impuri-
ties come from up-river points, but
are removed hen The water is treated
to the full process provided at the res
ervoir system. 1t is likewise CLEANED
from the conclusions reached at Be
lott that there is no ground for the
belief that there is indication of a
leak in the intake ppe.

Steamship Company's View of Famous
Bullion Theft.

Bremen, April lin support of
their beliefs that the gold bars report
ed missing from the specie room of the
Kaiser Wilhelm Der Groose in transit
between New York and Cherbourg,
were stolen at New York, the officers
of the German-Lloyd Steamship COM
pany point out that the specie room
on the Kaiser Wilhelm Dor Crosse is
situated behind the baggage room and
that the trunks of hundreds of passen-
gers are piled up against the door of
the specie room. The officials of the
steamship company are satisfied that
the gold was distracted between the
afternoon. when the barrels containing
the 1900, 900 marks were placed in
the strong room and the following
morning when the passengers baggage
was slowed away. The officials are of
the belief that the thief allowed him
self to be locked up in the baggage
room after the gold was deposited in
the strong room and managed to take
the booty ashore in the confusion of
arriving passengers and the slowing
away of baggage.

PACKERS ALARMED
British Government Orders Ameri-
can Beef Excluded from
Army Contracts.

Washington, April 1.-THE depart
ment of agriculture has received a
dispatch from a prominent packing
company OF Chicago announcing that
it has just been advised that. The
English government has excluded all
beef, except home bred, erc1r the Erit-
ish army contracts. This it is stat
ed, is to be effective June /.
The Chicago oncer has asked the
agricultural department for any as
sistance it can render. 1t has pointed
out that the action of the British GOV
eminent is a severe blow to American
beef and cattle exporters and produc-
ers and means, not alone a loss III
government trade, but. it is feared
will serve very materially towards in
citing prejudice on the part of the
people OF Great Britain against the
beef and cattle of this country.
No official information of the report
or hi contemplated move has been
received, according to a statement of
the officials.

MANILA POSTAL AFFAIRS IN
GOOD SHAPE.
FALSE STORIES OF FRAUD
Postmaster General Denies That
Wrong Doing Has Been
Discovered There.

Washington, April LA letter from
A. L. Lawsche, auditor Of the Philip
pines, has been received at the war de-
partment. Certain portions of this
have been sent to the postmaster gen
eral for his information.
The letter relates largely to the
methods of keeping accounts, which
are not approved by Mr.. Lawsche and
which have not been in accordance
with the forms provided. Mr..
Lawsche took four expert clerks when
he went to the Philippines and these
are going over the accounts. It is said
at the department. that there is no in
timation of any fraud or wrong doing,
but that a system of bookkeeping is in
vogue which lacks the business meth
DDS necessary to secure the best results.
The transmission of this letter to
the postmaster general gave rise to
reports that Irregularities and frauds
had developed in the Philippine postal
service. Postmaster General Smith
today gave denial to these reports.

Mr.. Smith, fare certainly ample.

Cudahy ~Apprehends no Serious Re-
suits From Prohibitive Order.

Omaha, April 11.-Edward D. Cuda-
ny, head of the packing house inter-
ests of the Cudahy Packing company,
was asked tonight what he anticipat-
ed would be the effect Of the decision
OF the British government to refrain
from h use Of American meats by
that government. He said he thought
this would not be serious. He under
that the restriction affects the
nome government alone, and not the
colonies, and stated that his company
was now filling an order for 1000, 900
pounds for the English governments
use in South Africa, part of which
mas already been shipped.
he says the home consumption Of
meat by that government is small and
will have little or no consequences in
the packing business. He does not
think the people of Great Britain will

government, as American meats are
