London. May 5.-The opposition to the
proposal OF the Chancellor of the ES-
chequer. Mr.. Ritchie. to abolish the duty
on grain, which has been voiced by numer-
Gus chambers of agriculture, crystallized in
a meeting of the Associated Chambers of
Agriculture In London to-day.

Mr.. Richie added, however. that he was
anxious to prevent any hardship to the

That 1t takes but 70 days hours and 3
minutes for floating object To come from
the mouth Of the Chicago River to the in
take tower at the Chain of Rocks. by way
of the Chicago Drainage Canal and the IL
linois River, was an important fact estab-
lished by the testimony of Professor John
l.. Van Orrun during a hearing of the Chi
caGo Drainage Canal investigation yester-
day.
When it is considered that the testimony.
previously given Of William c. Teichmann.
City Chemist, and Doctor Armand Ravold,
former City Baoteriologist. established the
fact that the sewage from Chicago could
not be clarified by the action of the water
in fifteen days. Professor Van Ornum's tes-
timony was very valuable.
An attempt was made by the Illinois at
torneys to mitigate the effect OF Professor
Van Ornums testimonyeby severe cross
examination.
The witness admitted that the expert
ments were conducted urtiier what might be
called abnormal conditions. but il was also
acknowledged that these conditions pre-
vailed for at least six weeks in every year.
This latter contention was not disputed
by counsel for Illinois. and the fact that St
Louis drinking water is contaminated dur
ing even small portion of the year should
be sufficient to demand remedy.
Not that the allegation that the drainage
from Chicago does not reach the intake at
the Chain of Rocks during the remainder of
the year was established. as the inference
from Professor Van Ornum's testimony
clearly pointed toward an opposite deduc
tion.

sor Van Ornum In general terms.
