AQUEDUCTENGINEERNVOLVED
NO CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST THE
COMMISSIONERS.
HUT the District Attorneys Inquiry Has
Brought Out FACTS That Might
Morally Convict" Men Higher Up
-~t;rand Jury May Get After Engineer.

Assistant District Attorney Train said
yesterday that he had practically COM
pleted his investigation into the charges
made by the Merchants Associate against
the Aqueduct Commissit ners and that
he would have his report ready for District
Attorney jerome before tonight. He
practically admitted that the charges had
not been sustained 30 far as the AQueduct
CommissiC ners were concerned. While he
believes that the Jerome Park reservoir
has not been constructed in accordance
with the terms o the co ntracts let for itscon-
struction M thing Of a criminal nature was
brought out against the Commissio ners.
Mr.. Train is Of the opinio n. no viewer, that
an actio taken against a certain member
OF the engineer corps would result in getting
higher UP. There is sufficient evidence
against this man, he thinks, en- which to
base a complaint and ask for warrant,
but it is safe to say that this will net be
the procedure and that the entire matter
will probably be laid before the Grand
Jury.
Among the facts brought out was the
mysterious disappearance OF quantity
of material purchased by the city. For
stealing of load Of pipe with the knowledge
of an official connected with the building OF
the reservoir
If there is some way by which the t"si-
monyAmay be made public it would be
highly Ndt sirable, Mr.. Train 8 lid yesterday.
The facts proved are such that the public
have a right to them. But the facts on
which an application for a warrant in a
single case would be founded were clearly
not within the knowledge of the Com
missioners. Such application would not
have been In any way directly a charge
against the Commissioners. But II is the
eviderce of the officials which has been de.
veloped without regard to the technical
charge against the Commissioners them
selves. which. the. public has right to be
acquainted with"
BILL FOR ABNORMAL TYPEwRITrNG.
The Aqueduct Commissioners have sent
to Comptroller Grout bill for 5000 for the
services Of additional typewrters. They
have explained TO the Comptroller that
they had to employ extra operators be-.
cause Of the demands of the Merchants
Association for copies Of almost every
contract relating 10 the work on the Croton
dam and the Jerome Park reservoir.
An official Of the Finance Department
said that IL was possible that suggestion
would be made to the Merchants Asso-
citation that they might with propriety
offer to pay tho bill themselves. -

SOME SIMPLE "CURES. D

We read that Naaman, captain of the
 host of the king of Syria, was a great
 man with his master. and honorable, be- cause by him the Lord had given deliv- erance unto Syria; he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a. leper. Being a leper he naturally wanted to be cured. The prophet Elisha undertook to cure him and sent messenger to him say ing: "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times and thy flesh shall come again to thee and thou shalt be clean" This di~ ! rection sor cure didn't suit Naaman. It seemed to him too easy and too cheap ! for great man like himself. So he was wroth. But his sensible servants. who didn't feel as big as he did, came near
 and soake unto him and said: My fa-
 ther, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done i it? How much rather then when he saith to thee Wash and be clean?" Being thus recalled to common sense Namaan washed and was clean.
 Of course there was more in this cure of Naaman than it's simplicity, but we. are reminded of it when we read about some of the simple cures of the present l day. For instance, the molasses cure
 for cancer. Some might think that such
 a dreadful and powerful disease as can
 cer could not be cured by such a com | mon and simple thing as moIasses, but
 g. big medical prophet says it can be, ! and he is inviting folks to try it. Another simple cure is put before those ! who need it by the Shawnee (Oklaho-
 ma) News, which announces that the | drink habit can be cured by ice water ] sucked through raw potato. Peel the potato and cut down one end of it un- 1 til it can be easily inserted in the
 mouth. Dip the potato in the ice water and suck it every time a craving for l strong drink comes on. It is claimed that this treatment will effect an ab- solute cure.
 And there are other simple cures go- l ing the rounds. Probably they will
 not be rejected on, account of their simplicity. but it is sadly probable
 that most of them will be rejected on ! account of their failure. The prophets who announce and push them are not
 Elishas and have not the power back of them which Elisha had.

GREAT SHIPS, GREAT GUNS.

The bosOms of the strenuous will swell with pride and confidence as they contemplate the fact that contracts are about to be awarded for the three most powerful ships ever planned for the American navy. They are to be named the Minnesota, the Vermont and the Kansas. Each Of them will displace about 16.0O0 tons and will be required to make minimum of eighteen knots per hour when under full steam. They will carry turret batteries os four twelve-inch rifles, supplemented. by eight eight-inch, twelve seven-inch and fifty-one smaller weapons. While they will be half knot or more slower than the great Commonwealth recently launched for the English navy on the Clyde and while their displacement is somewhat less they will greatly excel vessels of that class in gun power.
 With the most and best guns and the best gunners we can afford to throw off half a knot or so in speed, especial ly as we don't want to run away.

out any serious outbreak. Greater pre- cautions than ever before were taken in all the industrial centres. One feature of the revolutionary pamphlets and leaflets that has caused great anxiety is the fact that they were nearly all signed by The Executive Committee of the Social Democratic Revolutionaries, % which is regarded as proof of wide spread organization. It is noted, too, that these documents are written in a much graver and more sober tone than has been observable heretofore in liter ature of the kind They dwell upon the political disabilities of the masses, their miserable and degraded condition, and the grinding police despotism to which they are subjected. What es- pecially alarms the authorities is the certainty that the so-called Artels. or trades corporations, are gradually as- suming the character of political or ganizations. By their aid the ramifi- cations of the revolutionary propa- ganda are every day becoming more widely and deeply rooted. In the guise of unemployed artisans, etc., the emis- saries of the district revolutionary com mittees find little or no difficulty in propagating their subversive principles in all parts of the Empire. There is. moreover, good reason for suspecting that the revolutiOnists are. not with out influential allies and assistants in the police force itself.

MY FRIEND THE CoTToNrAlL.

Among the Wood-folk with whom l feel on pretty good terms, there is a little cotton-tail rabbit who has her permanent residence in clump of s,,eenbrier-covered bushes not quarter of a mile from my house. l first made her acquaintance last winter, while tracking a ruffed grouse through the snow. I was pushing my way through the snow-laden undergrowth, when l caught sight of little bright spot in a shadow just ahead of me. It was the eye of a rabbit, and as l moved cautiously forward I could see Bunny" herself, crouching, so still and quiet that, if it had not been for one bright spot which attracted my attention. doubt if I should have seen her at all. Nor did she move as I advanced; the eye itself even did not wink until l was within ten feet. and then the whole furry body, with one movement, leaped away through the bushes ands over the snow-covered ground, leaving the usual triangular track, with two points in front and one behind. Coming past the same spot about week later. l peeped into the the bushes. and there was the little cottontail again, sitting just where I saw her the first time. After that 1 looked for her often and scarcely ever failed to find her. She soon ceased to be afraid of me, and would let me come within six feet with out moving from her form. Now and then I would take & slice of bread or carrot in my pocket for my furry friend, but it was several days before I could coax her to eat in my presence. One night heard pack of dogs scour- ing the woods near by, and going over to Bunny's house I found her away from home. I was a little alarmed for her safety until the next morning when, on going into the woods, saw her sit- ting calmly in her old place.
 Toward the end of April I went to make call on my rabbit, but to my surprise she popped out of the bushes before I could get anywhere near her. Thinking there might have been some other cause for alarm, I walked into the bushes as usual, and there sat Bun ny, stolid as ever. Then I knew that (Coutin1Ied m Fifth paoel

MIR. BRYAN ON WICK ED MONEY.

MT. Bryan knows how to keep him this weeks issue he devotes nearly page to an attack on the custom of uni versailles, churches and benevolent in- stitutions accepting gifts from monopo- lists. He specifies John D. Rockefeller, and says of him: He has forced rivals to sell to him by cutting off their mar ket or source of supply, or both. He has bankrupted men who refused to sanction his business methods. He has violated the laws of State and Nation. Does it lessen his sins that he has giv- en liberally to churches and colleges? Nay, it exaggerates them, for he at tempts to make others share with him the odium that his conduct merits" MT. Bryan further says that it is high time that we should have a moral awakening which will condemn both the giver and the gift where the money is accumulated by methods which are repugnant to the conscience.
 There doesn't seem to be any sign of the awakening which MT Bryan thinks is so desirable. Perhaps if there is such an awakening he may find it diff1- cult to give away his own money if he wants to do it. Many think that his money has come to him through the ad- vocacy of pernicious theories, and that he has done much harm to State and Nation. He doesn't think so, and per- haps MT. Rockefeller doesn't think that he has been very wicked in his pursuit and capture of money It would be in- teresting to know how much wicked money" was contributed and used to support the Bryan campaign and how conscientiously and earnestly MT. Bry- an protested against it's use.
