hind IL. lie said ne should not call IL up. and he
made tho prophecy that the resolution would never
be heard Of agalp. Even II the resolution had
been passed by tSe aldermen II probably would
not have been az Proved by the Mayor. A deleCa-
ton u newsmen. headed BY Thomas F. Martin
and N. L GOlde called the Mayor vest erdav
and protested against tho resolution. The Mayor
assured them that II the resolution passed the

AGAINST SMITHS WATER BILL.
William F. King Compares 1t with Burr Act
for Suffolk County.

william F King ex-president OF the Merchants
Association when informed yesterday that Assem-
blyman J. T. Smith'a water bin had passed the
Assembly. said:
The Smith bin Is in the order as tic Burr
act. which prohibited Brooklyn from taking water
from Suffolk County That county to-day Is COW
cred with options held by different persons. some
Of them old RamapO interests New-Nork City Is
the goose that lays the golden eggs. and 81 seems
that every effort is being made 10 deprive IL OF
that which means ufC-namcly It's water.
If this Smith bill becomes a law Dutchess County
viii probably be piaserrd With options Of the same
those IN Suffolk County. When You lake
into consideration that the city OF New-York has
Tafd handsomely and eXtravagantly for all dam
apes done I'm Westchester County. IL would have to
do the in Duchess County. and farming
communities and ufacturing industries would
probably gladly welcome New-YoT money IN
return for their water rights.
when tho bill comes before the Senate Committee
viii probably have committee there i0 behalf
OF the Merchants Association in regard to this
question.
New-York must have water il means not only
life. but the prevention Of diseases Of all kinds
Those who in the past have been able 10 prevent
the city from owning its supply through legis-
lative acts and otherwise, will leave stone I'M
turned TO accomplish their purpose, namely, max
ing contract with the city 10 furnish its water
supply
Controller Grout. speaking OF the BILL said Il was
hurtful TO the city TO have any limitations to the

| STRANGE ABSENCE OF
SIMONS is A MYSTERY
Well-Known Leader in Labor Cir
cleS Leaves Without Warning
May Be in Cincinnati.
SENDS LETTER TO WIFE

Harry l.. Simons, secretary Of the Central
Labor Union and business agent of the
district council of the local painters union,
who has been missing since a week ago
Friday, is said 10 be in Cincinnati. The
disappearance of Mr.. Simons has caused
considerable concern among the labor or
CARNATIONS of which he is a member. AL
though the news that he is in Cincinnati
is not absolutely confirmed. it is believed
to be correct. Mrs. Simons said yesterday
that her husband had left home suddenly
Friday a week ago. being called to Gin
cinnati on business. She says that she has
received word from him and that she ex-
poets him home any day.
Mr. Simons's disappearance from the city
was sudden and somewhat mysterious. No
one but his family were aware of his alb
sence until the meeting of the Central La
Dor Union on Monday night. when his pres
ence as secretary was missed The books
of the organization were not sent to the
meeting, has always been done hereto
fore, and this was thought to be peculiar.
When an effort was made to find Mr.. ST.
mons in order to obtain the books, his
whereabouts could not be learned. The
books of the organization were found al his
office, 10. 81 Virginia avenue, but outside
from him. He is one of the most prom
inent union men in the city, and the fact
that he has not written to any of his
fellow-workers is considered mysterious.
