FRANK NELSON SPEAKS.
On Same Platform With Secretary
Wilson at Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Secretary Wilson
of the department of agriculture in an
address at a mass meeting conducted
by the Scandinavian Republican clubs
of this city at the Auditorium theater
last night accused Judge Parker, the
Democratic nominee, of making mis-
statements in his recent speeches In the
east Charles S. Dineen, Republican
candidate for governor of Illinois, and
Prof. Frank Nelson of Kansas also adj
dressed the meeting. Secretary Wilson
spoke in part as follows:
Judge Parker says the president ap-
pointed his private secretary. secretary
of the new department of commerce
and labor so that he might obtain cor
poration secrets, and then had him ap-
pointed chairman of the national Re
publican committee so that Cortelyou
might blackmail the corporations for
campaign purposes.
1.-THE creation of this department was
suggested by the national board of
trade and urged by the business men
generally throughout the country long
before the law creating it was passed.
1t was President Mckinley who first
recommended it to congress, and it was
he who selected Mr.. Cortelyou as It's
first secretary. President Mckinley
died by the hand of the assassin, and
when President Roosevelt took the oath
OF office he promised to carry out Nc

Answer-This is. practically getting
at the same point involved in questions
2, and 4. The correspondent evident
ly suspects that the water company is
pumping river water into the mains,
instead of getting its supply from dri-
ven wells. Probably there is no way
of being absolutely sure that a corpof-
alton is doing what it says it is doing
unless you own the corporation. The
city should own the waterworks AS it
is, the city must either assume that the
water company is telling the truth
when it says it has an abundant water
supply from its wells, and does not
pump in from the river: or else it must
get some proof to the contrary.
6. How it is. that east of Adams
street so pounds fire pressure cannot
be obtain on four fire streams?
Answer-The water company has no
pressure gauge east of Adams street;
neither has the fire department. The
first thing the correspondent should as
certain is whether there is any way of
measuring the pressure there, and
whether it has been done in the man
ner suggested. So far as the State
Journal is informed, there has been no
lack of fire pressure for the practical
needs in the district east of Adams
street, although it is a fact that Chief
Wilmarth has complained of the small
size of the main which extends past
the Wolff packing house to the Crosby
mills

The influence of the railroad pass
upon the legislator was described as

consumes to exceed six hundred and
fifty million gallons per year. which
latter quantity does not exceed 1900
gallons a minute. Is it posi-
clear, wholesome water that this
waterworlxs company is turning
over with this plant does not ex-
coed 1900 gallons a minute. If such
is the case, six or seven fire streams
with 100 lbs. pressure cannot be fur
niShed without pumping the filthy,
dirty Kaw river water into the mains.
Answer-This question is so worded
that the State Journal does not under
stand the exact item of Information the
writer desires. If he is assuming the
maximum pumping capacity to be 1900
gallons minute, he is mistaken. The
pumps at the Topeka station, west of
town, have a capacity of 5000, 900 gal
Ions a day, or $3.50 gallons a minute
If these pumps worked at their full ca
pacity for year they would deliver
:, 2S5, 900 gallons of water, but Pres
fdent Street estimates the present con-
sumption at goo, 900 900. If the writer
means that the wells are not adequate
to supply all the water needed for fire
service, and that the company pumps
in from the river, he is probably mis-
taken. The water company claims that
it can get all the water it needs from
it's wells. 1t would not be likely to
pump direct from the river if it could
possibly avoid it, as the sand taken in
would injure the pumps.
8. Is it not a fact that every time
the river rises a few feet that the wa
ter furnished by the waterworks COM
pany becomes discolored and unfit for
drinking purposes?
Answer-It is not q fact that a few
feet rises in the river disco1ors the wa
ter, if the testimony of people who use
water can be believed. During the high
water this summer, one of the pipes
leading to one of the driven wells broke
while under the river, and some river
water got into the mains for a few days.
As soon as the company discovered
where the trouble was, the pipe was
shut off.
4. Does not the above show that the
well water furnished is contamina ted
by the river wafer?
Answer-Not if the State Journals
answer to question No. 3 is correct. The
few feet in the river causes the water
to become discolored and unfit for
drinking is a. matter upon which no
official records are available. Testi-
mony of a large number of consumers
would have to be carefully taken to
arrive at a reliable conclusion.
5. Is it not fact that although the
waterworks company's plant, namely
its pumps, boilers, pipe lines, may be
or are in good ordinary condition and
possibly sufficient for the requirements
got sufficient supply nor can it fur
nish a sufficient supply of pure, whole
some water for the people of the city
of, Topeka to drink and that it cannot
begin to furnish a sufficient supply of
water for fire purposes without pump
ing into the mains this dirty water out

Kinley promises. He has done SO and

1.-The work of the department of COM
merce and labor had been only well be-

from the department of commerce and

rotary of that department in his place.

Pertinent Questions Concerning Pur-
chase of the plant.

Today the State Journal presents
another selection of questions which
have come in concerning the water
works situation. The questions have
been answered as briefly as possible to
give the desired information.
Those addressing questions to the
State Journals Waterworks Question
Box should be careful to have them
worded as clearly as possible, because
the State Journal is unable to ask
the correspondents for a more detailed
explanation of the exact points upon
which information is desired. The
State Journal will endeavor to make
its answers without prejudice, merely
presenting the facts as nearly as they
can be aScertained.
1. Why is it that pressure for do
mestic purposes is not furnished upon
the top floors of buildings as high as
the Columbian building.
Answer-This question assumes a
condition to exist which a little in
vestigation would show the correspon-
dent does not. a State Journal re-
porter went to the top floor of the
faucet over a washbasin, and got
so much pressure that the water flew
out of the basin and all over the floor.
H c. Bowman. superintendent of the
building, says there has been no trou-
BILE with the pressure for several
months. There have been times since
the flood. however, when the pressure
has been inadequate to reach above
the second floor. This was probably
at times when the plant was under
going the repair of the flood damages.

relative to the building of an electric
line to connect with the line proposed

encouragement possible and extended
an invitation to them to come and look
the ground over. get acquainted with
the people and satisfy themselves as
to the undertaking. Such road from

Wanted to Trade Back.

for a note for $3.50 He came to town
and tried to sell the note but could
get no one to take it unless he would
discount it a little, this he refused to
do, and became dissatisfied with his
deal and went to Droste and tried to
trade back. Droste was perfectly
satisfied with the deal and wouldn t
listen to trade Wohlzein then left,
but returned after time and handed
old Mr. Droste an envelope telling
him that it was letter. Droste is
unable to read so he took the envelope
to the house where, upon opening. the
note was.-fou1d. Wohlzein then bided
his time till he saw Croste's folks
leave home on Saturday, when he went
to the barn and took the team, wagon
and harness. On Monday Droste ap-
peared before Justice George E. Matti-
son and swore out an information
charging Wohlzein with larceny. The
case will come up before Justice Mat
