WATER BOARD TO
SPFND A MIIIION
The Estimates of the Cost of
the Filter Are Much Too
Low
PARK WILL COVER BED OF PLANT
Engineer Davis Says That If His Com.
pany Gets the Contract to do the
Work it Will be the Best in the
Country.

In connection with the improvements
contemplated By the Water Depart
ment, the engineers have planned for
a park on top of the covering which
will be constructed over the Cool
Spring reservoir. The roof will be
supported by concrete columns resting
on the bottom of the basin and upon il
earth viii be placed to permit pretty
landscape gardening with walks and
fountains.
A Bower house and laboratory viii
also be built on the Weldon tract where
the reservoirs and hltering basins will
Ice located. The power house will fur
nish power to force the water after il
has reached that level and also to gem
crate current for electric lights. The
whole thing when completed is expected
to cost S1,OOO,0OO.
Among the prominent contractors
who are expected to bid on the con-
struction Of the plant are T. & A. Gill
lespie. of New York and Pittsburg;
Frank Gilbreth, of Boston, Mass;
Drake & Stratton. Chicago and New
York; Lorimer, Gallagher & Welsh
Chicago, and Iverson & Shaw, Provi-
dence, r. /.
Engineer Louis X, Davis, Of the y. $.
Sand Filtration Company. when inter-
viewed by a reporter yesterday, had the
following to say:
1--WE propose to make this the finest
filter plant in the country" said Mr..
Davis Not only the filter plant, but
everything has been designed to meet
the conditions. This system has been
called an experiment. 1t is not an ex-
pertinent at all. Before the contract
was made at Indianapolis (for new
water plant) the filtration company
was compelled TO put in a plant and
directly to demonstrate its efficiency
That plant was in operation little
over eight months under the superVis-
ion OF Or. Clark city bacteriologist
During the eight months the highest
number of bacteria in filtered water
was 20 Cto one cubic centimetre. Fol
q neriod Of three months the average
was seven; for a period Of five or SIX
weeks, two"
The contract for the whole plant was
awarded 10 us and since that contract
has been awarded we have got over
$3.50, 900 extra work including additiona
filter beds"
I'VE intend to get this contract" SAID
Mr.. Davis, "as we wish to have IT tt
show against any other plant in the
East. When the plant is constructed ii
is going to be the best plant in th'
country right straight through. There
are not going to be any mistakes. Th'
underdrain construction which we wll
use will effect a saving of at least Sl5''
600 an acre. The auxiliary filters en-
able a reduction in the sedimentatioi
reservoir of Just one-half: they take
out 65 per cent. of the sediment

Ring with Stone of St. Peter Lost Two
or Three Times in Its History.


The "Fisherman's Ring" which is
one OF the most highly priced official
emblems of the Roman Church. has
been lost two or three times in the
course of it's history. but has always
been recovered. It is said to have be-
longed to ST. Peter. but is known to
have been first used about the year
1865.
The stone IS of little value, but is
engraved with q representation Of st.
Peter in an ancient fishing boat. The
ring is the official ring of investiture
of the Pope and is used by him for
the signing of briefs. It is broken and
remade on the death of each Pontiff,
and when presented to the new head of
the church he declares the name under
which ne desires to rule. which name
is thereafter engraved on it.
1t was stated in the dispatches from
Rome that at the solemn declaration
before the cardinals of Pope Leo's
death Cardinal Oreglia, as Camerlengo,
duly drew off the ring from the dead
Pope's finger and broke it in pieces
with a silver mailet, the fragments Of
the gold becoming perquisites of The
prelates of the dead Pontim's house
hold.

FISHERMAN s RING
STOLEN FROM LEO
Symbol of Papal Authority
Taken From Fingerof Pom
tiff After Death
CAUSED GREAT SCANDAL IN ROME
The Disappearance Caused Sensation
and the Vatican Tried to Keep the
story From Being Made Known to
the Outside World.

Rome, July 25.-Every effort is being
made in the Vatican to prevent the
news of terrible scandal leaking out
The ring of the fisherman, which
should have been found on the hand of
the Pope, has disappeared. 1t is not
so much a question OF its material as
OF it's extrinsic value, for the ring Of
the fisherman is used to seal the papal
bulls and is the outward sign of the
authority of the Pope.
When the Cardinal Camerlingo certi-
fies the death of a Pope ne receives the
ring of the fisherman from the cham
berlain OF His Holiness. 1t is then de-
stroyed in the presence of all the car
dinals at the first meeting of the
sacred college held after the Pope's
death.
Ring Had Disappeared.
But when Cardinal Orlegia, the pres
ent Camerlingo, had certified to the
death Of Leo Kill, Mgr. Bisletti was a
prey to the deepest despair and had to
admit that the ring had disappeared.
Cardinal Oreglia, who had, as is the
custom, brought his declaration of hav-
ing received the ring from the Papal
Chamberlain. all written out, had TO
put IS back in his pocket.
Mgr. Bisletti can give no indication
as to the robber. The theft must have
taken place between the death of the
Pope and the morning Of the follow
ing day. when Cardinal Oreglia ofic-
tally certified TO his death. During this
time a large number of persns entered
the death chamber
The Theft Covered Up.
In order to prevent the scandal be
coming known outside the Vatican the
.Oservatore Romano. the official orgar
|, of the Vatican, published a statement
that Cardinal Oreglia had duly re-
ceived the ring of the fisherman in
- presence Of the cardinals and had de-
stroyed it at the first meeting of ths
Sacred College. But as Cardinal Ore
glia never received the ring, il is OF
course out of the question that tbs
Cardinal could have witnessed its de-
struction.
The disappearance OF the ring ha.
caused a tremendous sensation at tn,
Vatican where it is the sole subject o.
conversation.
In the meantime, in the certificate
of death OF Leo XIII. all allusion t
receiving the ring has been suppressed
Friends of Mgr. Bisletti hope tina
when the seals are removed from th'
cabinets of the late Pope the ring viii
confidence is felt. The ring shoul,
never have left the POpe's hand anS
every one denies having touched it.
