DR.. CRAFTS DISPUTES DR.. HALL
Presents Statistics Showing Danger of
Drinking River Water.

Presents Statistics Showing Danger of
Drinking River Water.
DR.. Leo M. Crafts, of the Hamline
university college of physicians and
surgeons, takes direct issue with
Health Commissioner P. M. Hall when
the latter declares the Mississippi river
water fit to drink.
DR.. Crafts presents his views in an
elaborate paper in which the polluting
capabilities of the lower pumping sta
lions are pointed out in vigorous style.
He directs attention to the $50 cases
Of typhoid fever recorded since Nov. 1,
of which seventy resulted fatally, and
rating the deaths at the amount re-
coverable for deaths from accident, from
a financial standpoint, he gets $4,000.
To this he adds $4,000 for medicines
and professional services which must
be borne by the ago recovered cases.
And figuring their time at $1.00 day,
he adds $4,000 more. AS the average
number of deaths in the city from ty-
phoid fever is about 200 each year, he
estimates the loss at 100000, to say
nothing of the tragedy of the lost lives
and suffering.
DIR. Crafts recommends the abolition
of the present water supply and the
undertaking of a lake supply of pure
water from Mile Laos lake, seventy
seven miles distant, by means of a
steel main laid directly to the reser-
voirs. The main could be laid so as
to pump water by gravity at cost of
$500, 900, in the opinion Of compe-
tent engineers.

INCREASE IN KOREAN
ARMY OPPOSED BY ITO
Marquis, While at Seoul, Advised De-
liberation and Gradual Reform.

SEOUL, Korea, March 27.-Marquis
Ito and his suite left here today. Gen.
Ijichi, who was formerly military at
tache to the Japanese legation here,
did not accompany him. After fare
well audience of the emperor, Marquis
Ito was entertained at dinner by his
majesty. The departure of the marquis
and his party was attended by F,jfean
officials and the diplomats in Seoul.
During his stay here Marquis Ito
was shown distinguished consideration
by the emperor of Korea and the
crown prince. His visit has resulted
In reassuring the people of Korea and
in paving the way for an extension of
Japanese influence. AT state functions
Marquis Ito always advised delibera-
ton, gradual reform and that no in
crease be made in the Korean army,
and there is no question but that the
advice of Japan will be accepted.
The mission of Marquis Ito has les
sened political friction between Korea
and Japan and it will make easier the
task of the Japanese advisers who
ultimately will officiate here. Korea
will send a return mission to Japan
The official to head this mission has
not yet been chosen, but the emperor
desires that vi Chi Ying, a former
MINISTER 5Ol IoTelSn affairs, De SeieCIeu
for this post. vi Chi Ying hesitates to
undertake the mission, fearing to be-
come too much identified with the pro-
Japanese party of Korea.
According to dispatch from the
Seoul correspondent of the London
Daily Chronicle, published March "a,
Gen. Ijichi visited the Korean war
office and intimated that he had been
appointed its adviser, but the authori-
ties declined to recognize him as such.

THE WORLD OF SPORT
CORBFTT TO MEET
MOVATT IN CHICAGO
Windy City's Stock Yards Feath-
erweiqht to Face the
Denver Boy.

Young Corbett will shortly. make his
first appearance before Chicago fight
fans in genuine ring contest. His pros
pective opponent is Tommy Mowatt,
the stock yards featherweight, and the
Waverly Athletic club has scheduled
the match for next Saturday night.
Mowatt was probably as good a
choice as could have been made from
the local ranks to figure as Corbett's
opponent. He is an aggressive youth
who fights in vicious, cyclonic fashion.
keeping on top of an adversary all the
time, always ready and willing to ex-
change punch for punch. For this rea-
son he is considered the proper party
to entertain the featherweight cham
pion, rather than an elusive, slippery
boxer who would devote all of his en-
ergies to keeping away from Corbett's
deadly wa1lops and endeavoring to stay
the limit.
Whatever one may think of Mowatt's
discretion in venturing to try conclu-
sions with the Denverite, he cannot be
accused of lack of nerve. The stock
yards lad is a thoroughly game sub
ject, as his past record clearly shows,
and although trifle wild in his de-
livery, can hit with stunning force and
destructive results to the recipient Of
his blows.
And, after ALL Mowatt is wise in TAX
ing a gamblers chance. A defeat by
Corbet would not injure his reputation
in the least, while there is always the
possible "fuke punch" to be consider
ed, which has laid many a champion
low in the past. A good showing against
the all-powerful Rothwell would be a
great feather in Mowatt's cap and en-
nance his value as a drawing card in
the future even if Corbett did lose to
Britt.

flooded the engine rooms, and not a
car moved after 5 o'clock.
Hundreds of families living in the
low lands have had to abandon their
homes. Many houses were swept down
stream and dashed to pieces against
the stone bridges. It was generally
thought late Saturday night that the
greatest danger had been passed, but
the situation is much more alarming
today.
Mayor Hoffman, City Engineer Jes-

the flood disaster which threatens the

Shortly after the mayors arrival
home he was appraised that a break had

and bales of hay to be transported to
the scene at once and used in repair

cede early today, leaving behind it
much desolation. The damage done

No one has been drowned, but there
has been much suffering, and several
deaths may occur from exposure Hun

YOUNG MEN FOR WAR
Bryan Says Young Men Should Not Be
Taught Arts of Warfare.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. March H.
William ]. Bryan delivered an address
this evening before the Peoples church
in the Hyperion theater on 1.-THE Prince
of Peace" Mr.. Bryan eventually took
up the question of war and inveighed
against the present war between Japan
and Russia, and said he opined there
would be a general demand made to
find out the cause of that warfare.
Knowing the exact cause the world
would then be enabled to form a judg-
ment as to which side has justice in
its contentious He deprecated the
prevalence in this country of training
boys and young men in the arts of war
fare. The only warfare that man ought
to wage, he said, is the warfare against
evil in all its forms.

FRESHETS MENACE
MIDDLE WEST TOWNS
Continued From First Page.


A water famine is becoming more
and more imminent. With foot Of
water in the engine room the employees
of the West Washington street pump
ing station feared that the plant would
have to be shut down. Four more
inches Of water, they said, would force
a suspension.
In this event the city will be entirely
cut off from its water supply.
Realizing the seriousness of the sit
uation, the city officials late today de-
cided to appeal to the national guard
for protection. Worn out with the ex-
