Must Not Pollute the Waters-On Mon
ylast JudgeB Burke filed an opinion in theease
of the Mount Hope Retreat against The West
Arlington improvement Company, in which
he intimated that an order would be passed
by the court restraining the defendant from
allowing its drainage to flow into lake on
the plaintiffs land. The case was instituted
for the purpose of procuring such restrain
ing order. -: ..tss - $50 ~l..''
In its opinion the court, after reviewing the
contention of the plaintiff that the defendant
had constructed sewerage system on its land,
which had the effect of turning quantity of
impure matter into q stream which flowed into
the lake and polluted and contaminated its
waters, saidgthat this woud,i be sufficient to
Justify the granting Of the relief sought, I'M
less the defendant advanced something to JUS
tify its action. He said that the defendant had
in its effort to meet this burden asserted that
the stream was already polluted from other
sources before it came on its land. - '''
This the court said was insufficient because
the defendant could not rely upon the fact that
others had also polluted the stream as a, de,
Tense, if it was true that it had polluted it..
The defendant had further. asserted that agreat
deal of money had been spent in the con-
straction of its sewerage system. Judge Burke
said that this was also an insufficient defense,
because the mere expenditure of money could
not render that right which was wrong.
1t was said that all of the material allega-
tons in the bill of complaint had been sup
ported by testimony, and that a perpetual in
junction restraining the defendant from pol
luting or communicating the stream from
which the lake was supplied would be passed.

pLATT oDELL AND DUNN CONFER
ONLY STEWING, SIMPLY BkE"lN1'
NOTHING DOING" SUM UP THE
RESULTS.

Senator Platt-Things are only stewing.
Governor Odell-Matters simply brewing.
Chairman Dunn-Nothing, nothing doing.
After an all day conference at the Oriental
Hotel Senator Platt, Governor Odell and Colonel
George w Dunn. chairman of the Republican
State Committee each announced that the po-
liticaI situation had not materially changed.
Stewing was the word used by the Senator,
brewing the phraseology employed by the GOV
ernor, while Colonel Dunn discovered the orgi-
nal expression of nothing doing" AT the
close of the talk. which was held on the broad
porch of the Oriental, and in the face of such
stiff ocean breeze that Senator Platt had diff
hcultv in holding his straw hat, the Governor
star+ed soon after 4 O'Clock for Newburg.
Colonel Dunn then came back TO the Fifth
Avenue Hotel with the intention of returning
10 Binghamton to-day. Senator Platt went up
stairs, and. after enjoying an hours nap en-
tertafned a little company of friends with civil
War stories in one corner of the lobby.
But despite all the reticence Of the three con-
ferrees there was considerable political gossip
about the hotel, and from good sources 1t was
learned that at least one question was positive
" settled That is that Colonel Dunn shall give
ND the Craftsmanship of the State Railroad Con-
mission and run for Congress in the NAN1th
District, to succeed George w. Ray % MO lS ,, a
candidate for a federal Judgeshlp When ne
was asked whether he had accepted the candl-
dacy, Colonel Dunn said: 49,.
Il am always ready to play ball IN pontlcs'
to do nv duty. If the party wants me to run
for Congress- all right. The party and the con-
vention have to settle that matter, ana not l.
There was also story that the Lieutenant
Governorship drifting toward Sherln NOR
man s. Dixie, of Kings. After the conference
Senator Platt called Mr.. Dixie to him, and the
two talked for some time Afterward the Sen.
ator was asked what chances Mr.. Dixie had OF
getting the nomination, and he said:
oh that Lieutenant Governorship is still IN
the air. ,,. >,
But Mr.. Dixie would make a good candidate,
said a Brooklyn man.
Mr. Dixie would make a good candidate for
ANYTHING" said the Senator, with evasive
smile.
There was a long talk about Lemuei E. Quigg
for temporary chairman of the State ConVen-
ton Senator Platt stuck TO his original opinion
that Ouigg should have the place. Colonel
Dunn took a neutral stand, while the Governor
vigorously opposed Mr.. Quigg- The conference
broke up with the Quigg question still unde-
cided.
II was learned that Colonel Joseph M. Dickey,
Of Newburg would not succeed Colonel Dunn
as Railroad Commissioner
