DIR. HOFFMAN ON WELLS.
Des Moines Patholosist Writes About
Infected Water Supply From Surface

DR.. Charles II. Hoffman, the eminent
Des Moines pathologist and bacteriolo-
gist, who recently completed a thorough
investigation of sanitary conditions in
this city has written for the Times
Republican the first of Il series of arti-
cles along the general subject of sani-
tation. The article treats on the sub
ject Of wells, and how some infected
wells may be rendered safe as source
of drinking water supply. DR.. Hoffman
writes as follows:
"a large part of the population OF
your city depends, upon the shallow
wells for it's water supply. and much Of
the sanitary oversight occurring In
your city centers about this point. A
great many epidemics have been traced
to such source of water supply. a
striking case Of well water Infection,
which occurred at Gerlachsheim, Ger
many, has recently been reported by
volz. There, in three weeks, fifty-two
persons were attacked with typhoid
fever On investigation 1T was found
that these had all got their water from
certain we'll. which had been polluted
by the discharges of the first patient.
1.-The source Of infection in these
shallow wells Is Of course the infected
ground water, which, in Its turn, has
been poisoned by some leaking cesspool
or privy, Or surface washing. In this
connection 1t must not be forgotten
that the discharges from single case
Of typhoid may be the source of danger.
"The distance from we'll at which
source Of infection becomes danger
Gus cannot be readily expressed in fig
ures without the most careful study.
for 1t depends entirely on the character
Of the strata and the direction and the
velocity of the groundwater currents.
recall to mind a very good Illustration
of this, in which a WE'LL situated hardly
fifty feet from a privy, shows almost
absolutely no pollution, while the other
two hundred feet from the nearest privy
or other means of pollution, shows
thirty times the normal chlorine of the
region. In the first instance the we'll
in bed of compact impermeable clay.
and in the second a stratum OF loose
clay. 1t is perhaps needless to state that
mere pollution Of we'll by sewage is
likely of no danger whatsoever unless
the germs Of disease find an entrance,
but when a we'll is exposed to leakage
from human waste, it is easy for germs
to follow and so easy for them to grow
in water laden with organic material,
that there is always an element of
danger in using water which is at all
subject to priyy leakage. The danger
may not be very extraordinarily 1t Is
not--but 1t exists, nevertheless.
There are wells in every town which,
though undoubtedly polluted by leakage
from adjoining privies, have furnished
drinking water for many years and
have never yet been accused of convey
ing disease. This, however, is no argu-
ment against the case only proof that
none. or, but very few germs, have en-
tered the well.
"a point of much importance, as in
Dictated before, Is the geologic charac.
ter of the strata which are pierced by
the well, yet this rarely receives much

Des Moines Men by Score of to 4.
Nine employees of the local postoflioe
demonstrated Saturday afternoon at
Finkle's park that they could do other
things than properly handle Uncle

team from the Des Moincs postotfice
by a score of 8 to 4. Although in the

bali more than half>a dozen times
since he 'twirled in the Pacific Coast
League, was on his mettle, and served
such 9. mess of Blenders to the. visitors
that they were only able to get five
safe hits. He secured seven strikeouts,
and kept what few hits We're made so
scattered that but two eliminated in
scores. Diley, who relieved him in the
eighth inning got two strikeouts, but
on account of an error, two of the four
runs of the Des Moines' team were Sc
cured then. Saints men started the
game from the jump and before the
third out in the first inning had put
Scott over home for the first run. They
added another in the fourth, due to
errors, and took two more in the Sixth,
because of a wild throw. A base on
balls, two safe hits and an error, Melted
them three more In the seventh, and
Sheets two-bagger, and an error gave
them two more in the ninth. making
the total of 8. For time during the
first inning 1t looked as tho Des Moines
intended to pile them and cinch the
thing from the start. The first two
men up made the circuit, but there the
run getting of the visitors stopped, and
was not resumed again until Dlley haa
been put in the box for the locals, When
they took two more, making the four.

MERCURY SAILS UPWARD.
Hot Wave Visits the City, Causing
Population to Swelter.

After almost two weeks OF COM
paratively cool weather old Sol turned
loose his rays on Saturday, and as a
result the mercury went higher than
it has gone since July 8, when the
top notch Of the summer. 96 degrees,
was reached. The mercury crawled up
to 80 during Saturday afternoon, while
the lowest point reached during the
night was 65. Sunday was another hot
day. and seemed great deal warmer
than the thermometer indicated, which
was 81. This was due to the vast
amount of moisture in the air. which
made the heat most oppressive The
shower of Sunday evening tended to
cool things off, however, and made the
night more comfortable.

EIlen Terry,s noe.

When Ellen Terry was little girl
about ten years old she played Puck in
"a Midsummer Nights Dream" and
had to make her appearance through
the stage floor on trapdoor. The trap
door was shut too soon. and one of the
child's feet was caught. She screamed
with pain, and Mrs. Charles hean
whispered to her: "Be a brave girl,
Nellie. Finish your part, and you shall
play Arthur in King john" The
trapdoor by this time was opened, but
the child's toe was broken. She, how
ever, pluckily pulled herself together
and finished her speech.

WIDENING SCOPE
OF INVESTIGATION
GRAND JURY GETTING CLOSE TO SOME VERY
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS IN IT'S INVESTIGA
TION OF JAPANESE CRIME-PERJURY ALLEGED IN
TRYING TO IMPORT A JAPANESE WOMAN.

Kinzo Ueda is alleged to have sworn
falsely on October 6 that his name was
IsOjiro Nakagawa and that he was the
husband of one Yoki Nakagawa, a wo-
man who was attempting to enter the
islands from Japan. The indictment al
leges that Ueda told quite a detailed
story of his marriage to the woman,
stating that it took place nine years
ago in Japan, that she had been here
with him before and he had sent to
Japan for her, and that he had two
children All of this, according to the
grand jury, was deliberate perjury, for
the purpose of getting the immigration
officers to pass the woman as his wife.
She is said to have been brought here
in the usual japanese way and Ueda is
alleged to have impersonated Isojiro
Nakagawa for the purpose of getting
her in.
Bench warrants were issued in the
cases of the other two indictments.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1903-10-19

The Federal grand jury this morning
continued it's investigations into the
japanese procuring business and re-
turned three more indictments, one of
them against KinEo Ueda, for perjury
in trying to get a Japanese woman
past the Board of immigration. The
inquiry begun by the jury is constantly
widening and promises to lead to even
more sensational developments than
have come so far. The existence of a
well organized association of pimps is
now thoroughly established by the
testimony that has been given, and it
is reported that there may be a white
man or two involved before the inves-
tigation is closed.
The matter into which the jurors are
now inquiring is largely the disposal of
the fund raised by the Japanese asso-
citation. In one month the fund was
over 5000 and an effort is being made
to ascertain where it went.
