Water Committee Unable
to Do Much This Week.
TO Be FURTHER INVESTIGATION
They Will Make Another Visit t.
Thomas Springs-Extreme Meas
ures Will Be Employed.

For the reason that Water Superin-
tendent knight has been otherwise en-
gagged during the past week, the water
committee from the Walla Waila Com
complish much work this week. 1t had
been the intention of the committee to
visit the Thomas springs Tuesday to
make further investiga tons. but as
Mr.. Knight was unable to accompany
them, it was deemed advisable to delay
the trip for several days. The COM
mittee may go tomorrow or Monday.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing Chairman Paine said that the COM
what information it desired relative to
the amount of water that could be de-
veloped on the north pipe line. 1t will
be necessary to turn off all the water
in this line and take more definite
measurements. before the data can be
obtained. The committee is very anN-
ious to carry on the work as rapidly
as possible SO that it can have some
thing to work on in Il more intelligent
manner.
To get the desired information the
committee will go to the extreme
measure of having lumber conveyed
to the Thomas ranch and Tuning every
irrgating ditch to eliminate any posi-
BILE seepage of water from these
streams into the main pipe lines. This
will entail Il considerable outlay, but
by SO doing every possible doubt as TO
the actual amount of pure spring water
developed would be settled.

Train Service.
CONSTRUCTION men IN THE FIELD

A report from Seattle indicates that
the Northern Pacific seems inclined to
Wash. and Ellensburg. Wash. 1t is
said that men doing construction work
are now in the field and are having
some trouble in their work owing to
the destructive tendency of large bands
Of range stock to remove the survey
marks.
The cutoff will reduce the distance
between Spokane and Seattle about 100
miles and as it is to be constructed
largely for the purpose of reducing
long haul. it is presumed that a radical
change Will be made in the present
train service, both passenger and
freight.
The North Coast Limited and the
Burlington cars will be sent over the
cutoff. To take the place of the latter.
it is almost certain that an accOmmo-
daton train will be put on between
Spokane and Ellensburg. via Pasco.
Extra switch yards coal bunkerS, etc.
will be maintained at Lind. and all
freight intended for Sound points will
be diverated there. Passenger crews
will be sent through from Spokane to-
Seattle.
The fate of PaScO as a freight diViS-
ion is also hanging in the balance. The
place will not be abandoned altOgeth-
er. but the present force will be re-
the Washington & Columbia River
branch lines.

SUNDAY BASEBALL.
Playing of Games in Greater New York
 to be Tested.


 New York. April 24-Whether the playing of baseball games in Greater New York on Sunday is illegal is to be decided on a test case, the first step in which was taken to-day, when actitng under instructions issued by Police Commissioner McAdoo, the police arr rested three players and three sellers os score cards on the grounds of the Brooklyn Baseball club Washington Park, Brooklyn. Last Friday Commis- sioner McAdoos stated that he would not permit the playing of games in Manhattan. but that he would allow such contests at Washington Park, Brooklyn, and Ridgewood Park in the borough of Queens. The Washington Park and Rijgewood Park grounds are situated in sparsely Inhabited districts and MT. McAdoo contended that the playing on Sunday games there did not interfere with the inhabitants of those localities. To-day, however, the conn missioner issued instructions to the po- lice officers in Brooklyn and Queens to arrest any persons offering score cards or programmes for sale on the play ing grounds, which he had previously exempted, and also to arrest the per- sons whom the police deemed to be the most conspicuous actors in the playing of games. so that the law might be tested.

STRUGGLE WITH 4 MANIAC.
New York Firemen Impern Their Lives
 to Save Him.

New York. April 24.-Captain Clark of the New York fire department and two fremen engaged in desperate strug- gle with maniac before daylight to- day on twelve inch ledge which forms the, base of the Mansard roof of the Manhattan Eye and Ear hospital in this city. The ledge is 80 feet above the ground and the man they risked their lives to subdue and rescue from his perilous position was powerful and fought viciously, but he was finally forced through window into the hos pital, where several policemen took up the struggle and secured him.
 The man whom the firemen were call ed upon to rescue was Robert Hind man. who had been admitted to the hos pital to be prepared for an operation to remove a swelling in the ear cavity. Not long after midnight he escaped from his room to the narrow ledge, car rying with him a heavy pitcher with which he threatened the nurses and po- licemen who appeared at the window to induce him to return. As it was im- possible to get behind the desperate man from inside the hospital, the fire department was at last appealed to- A 76-foot extension ladder was cau- tiously ,ra!esd and in the dark Hind mans attention was not attracted by it.. Captain Clark refused to assign any of his men to so dangerous and unusual a task and went up himself, followed by Bremen Jeremiah Scanlon and Hen " W. Kimley.
 Hindman had just thrown the pitcher through the window where the police men were holding his attention, when Clark crept up behind, seized the man by the throat and cheked him, while his companions grasped his legs. Hind man was slightly cut by broken glass when his captors finally dragged him to the window and thrust him through. He was taken in straight jacket to Bellevue hospital, where the operation on his ear. will be performed as soon as possible in the hope that it may cause him to recover his reason.
