sum of sS,00o000 had been filed by the

pany, the Fidelity and Deposit Company OF
Maryland and the American Bonding and
Trust Company Of Baltimore: Attorneys
for the executors named IN the Will pro-
tested against the naming Of administra-
tors at this time. and. il is said, against
the men named especially. Judge Orr then
stated that, although the appointments had
been made, their bonds had not been APP
proved and would not be until after due
consideration. 1t is stated that Mr. Ham

There Is Little of Importance Now
Before that Body.

With the administrator financial meas
ures out OF the way the Council slate is
nearly cleaned The only measure of i'm
portance likely to come before it at the
next regular meeting. Oct. s, will be the
mayors veto of the ordinance increasing
the pay of members OF the fire force. There
is no longer any doubt of the mayors ac-
ton, although he has not announced it.
He has vetoed the ordinance and will ex-
plain why in a communication to the
Council and not until then, it is under
stood His reasons are said to be the city 5
financial condition. 1t is likely he VIII
indorse an increase at time when IL Is
practical.
Friends OF the ordinance feel that the
supporters of the measure failed In diplo-
macy where the mayor succeeded. The
mayor. under the charter, Is required To
act on an ordinance within ten days after
Ii reaches him. The firemen's ordinance
was speedily sent TO his desk Ii was hoped
to have him act ii before the financial
measures were disposed of. Some of the
friends of the ordinance expressed the
report within ten days. But the charter
permits him to report his action at the
next regular meeting and as this was not
until Oct. 6, the official communication
was not announced.
The supporters, according to those push
ing the f1remen's measure, should not have
insisted on reduction of the tax levy.
In doing this they removed the last posi-
bility of getting the scheme ratified by
the mayor and controller If the surplus
revenue had been provided, the increase
ordinance could have been revived in a
few weeks and the surplus could have been
used as a good argument for its feasibil-
ity.
There is little possibility of the ordinance
being called up for passage over the
mayors veto. Its supporters in the Coun-
Gil confess their inability to muster suffi-
cient strength TO do this and they feel that
the measure will gain friends by wait
ing.

WATER COMPANY's PLANS.
The City May Oppose the Use Of Fill
tered River Water.

The city Board OF Health has asked the
Indianapolis Water Company to explain
why il is preparing to change the supply
OF city water from driven wells TO filtered
river water. This change has been an
nounced by the company, and work on Its
new sand filtration beds is in progress. The
company expects to filter water from White
river or the canal, IL Is understood. the
preparations are contiguous TO both
streams.
Mayor Bookwalter says the action OF the
health department was based largely on the
record Of the water company itself. In its
litigation with the strawboard works 1t in
troduced testimony to prove that river wa
ter so polluted was incapable of filtration.
and that 1t would menace health to attempt
st. The mayor says the present supply is
shown by constant analysis to be pure, and
this being the fact there is little reason to
attempt the use of river water when Its
purity will be doubtful at all times.
Acting on the mayors suggestion the
Board of Health has taken up the question
with the water company. City Sanitarian
Buehler sent a letter TO Vice President +.
A W. Davis. in which he said:
THE water supply, taken wholly from
deep wells, Is of recognized purity, and 1t
has the advantage of much lower tempera-
fure in hot weather over river water or ca
nal water. | have been informed by COM
petent authorities that there is little differ
ence in the mineral constituents of river or
canal water and that taken from deep
wells. and that being the case we cannot
see what advantage the city would derive
from the change OF system when the purity
of the present supply Is assured, while that
of the proposed is problematical And we
suppose that the water from the deep wells
Is unlimited in quantity and fully sufficient
for the city's needs"
Mr.. Davis says the company has need of
greater facilities, and cannot obtain them
If the deep well supply is continued. The
extensions of service have made the change
absolutely necessary. He proposed that the
Board of Health send it's sanitarian and
chemist to other cities where the sand fill
tratiOn process Is In use TO investigate the
purity OF the water, and the company would
bear all the expense. This proposal will
likely be accepted.
Variations in the quantity of chlorine in
the water are also under official scrutiny.
Analysis made during the week of Aug. q
showed an increase In this element. The
increase was not one-half the quantity
specified by the company's contract. yet it's
infusion created suspicion in the mind Of
the sanitarian that water from sources
other than the wells had been used. This,
Mr.. Davis says. is without foundation. be-
cause no source except the wells has been
used. The city chemist regards the appear
ance of increased chlorine merely a
fuctuation of the water and not at all dan

GREENCASTLE. Ind. Sept. 26.-The In
dianapolis Shortridge High Schoc' football
team lost to De Pauw University this after
noon through being outclassed in weight
rather than in training. The score was 16
TO 0. Their playing was of high grade
and full of ginger from the first, but the
best they could do against the varsity men
was to sometimes get near the goal, main
~ by line bucking by the halves and full
backs. The end work was stopped sue
cessfully by the De Pauw ends and the
younger players were put almost entirely
on the defensive from the start.
De Pauw used a new man, George Baker,
at right half, and he made some of the big
gains of his team. There were few other
changes in the line since the game with
the alumni on Monday, O'Daniel going In
at right guard and Brown at left end.
both Strengthening the team. The best
work for Shortridge was done by the full
back, Mckinney, who was in every play
made, stopping De Pauw end runs in a
hurry. He was sat down four times by
De Pauw's left guard, Coble, who weighs
260 pounds, and was retired in the middle
of the second half. De Pauws right tackle
and left half were grand stand favorites.
Juttin, Shortridges coach, was hit, but
not seriously hurt, by a stone thrown by
boy whom Juttin kicked off bus The
