A PURE FOOD BILL
HOPE THAT ONE OF A NATIONAL
CHARACTER WILL PASS.

There is very fair prospect that this
session of Congress will see the passage of
national pure food law There have been
numerous attempts In this direction and
several of the individual states have passed
pure food bills that have worked well so
far as the states were concerned But the
trouble with them was that they were, of
course, not operative outside the state
where they were enacted. Now, however
the pure food bill of the last session, with
some amendments and corrections. will be
introduced, and the Agricultural Depart
ment, which is the department chiefly in
terested, thinks it will pass There may be
more than one bill, but the one that has the
approval of the Department of Agriculture
is known as the Hepburn bill and will be
introduced by Senator Hepburn among the
first business of the session.
The chief point in which the bill has been
strengthened is by making the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor, the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Department of Jus
tice all parties to the legislation that will
be enforced. The Secretary OF Agriculture
will, of course, have the chief interest in
the law, but he and the heads of the other
departments mentioned will form a board
that will deal with all the phases of the
law. The Secretary of the Treasury viii
have to do particularly with the importa-
tons of foreign foodstuffs, and the Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor viii deal with
rotary of Agriculture with the detection OF
violations of the law and the prosecu-
lions which the Department of Justice will
manage.
There has been enough experience with
the operation of pure food laws in the in
dividual states to show that they have not
only protected the consumer, but that they
have stimulated trade rather than restrict
ed it, But they have worked a hardship in
some cases against comparatively guiItless
agents of corporations that have manu-
featured adulterated food products outside
the state There was a case of this sort in
Philadelphia not long ago. Two men who
had been furnishing supplies to the gov
eminent were convicted, one of furnishing
oleomargarine under the name of butter,
and the other of selling sausages preserved
with borax. One of them was given six
months in Jail and heavy fine, while the
other was fined $1,000 the judge saying
that as the manufacturer who operated out
side the state was the one who really ought
to suffer he would let the agent off with
a fine 1t is pointed out by the officials of
the Department of Agriculture that this
condition of interstate trade in adulterated
foods is just the thing that the national
pure food bill will reach.
The bill is expected to get through the
Senate If not blocked by deadlock over
the rate BILL the Panama canal or some
similar legislation. II 1t goes through the
Senate there is no fear felt about its get
ting through the House by large major
fy. The Department OF Agriculture says,
too that If such law is passed. there will
be no question about it's vigorous prosecu-
ton.

Transfer of the Washington Aqueduct
and Filtration Plant to the
Commissioners.

The Commissioners strongly recommend
the transfer from the War Department to
the Board of Commissioners of the juris-
diction and control over the Washington
AqUeduct and the filtration plant. The fl
tration plant Is about completed, and the
transfer of II at the end of the present
fiscal year is recommended and will be at
tended with no difficulty. For this reason,
the present time is especially opportune. 1t
would be much better administration for
the entire water supply of the District of
Columbia to be under one control rather
than be divided as it is at present causing
work necessarily to be duplicated and addi-
tional employees to be necessary. part of the
water mains throughout the District being
under the control of the War Department
and part under the control of the Commits
sioners, the water flowing from one to the
other in supplying the government build
ings and private establishments. Manifest
ly better results would be obtained if all the
water supply were under one control and
with one responsibility. The Chief of Engi-
neers, United States Army, under whose
control the Washington Aqueduct and the
liberation plant now are, has recommended
such a transfer.

present water pressures are insufficient to

cost $4,000. This section is at present

north and east of Capitol Hill, estimated
cost $500 600
s. A gravity main. from Sixth and
streets NV. to Virginia avenue and Twen-
ty-seeond street. estimated cost $91.oOo
The total cost of the above projects is
SS2S, 500. In addition to these within few
years 1t will be necessary to erect an addi-
tona, pumping engine for the second h GIL
service system, estimated cost SS0U0.
Further minor extensions and improve
ments Will be also necessary, bringing the
cost up to about 81. 0o0GC0. exclusive Of
smaller mains laid under the assessment
system IT is expected that all of this should
be gradually completed within about ten
years and that the income from water rents
Will be sufficient to pay for the improve
ments
Existing law provides that the cost of
SUI plying water to the inhabitants of the
District of Columbia shall be paid entirely
from revenues of the water department.
These revenues are made up from water
rents and assessments for water mains.
Generally the assessments for service mains
cover the cost of the mains and do not pro-
vide for the large trunk systems pumping
plants, etc. The cost of these has to be
DOIne from the water rents. Inc WaEei
service has in late years been increasing
rapidly. In 1896 only 4.o00.000 gallons per
day were pumped. During the last fiscal
year Q905) $1,000 eco gallons per day were
pumped
The collections for water rents in the fis-
cal year 1901 amounted to $40 900, which
is about $1.o6 per capita for the entire popu-
lat!on of the District of Columbia.
IL order to meet the extraordinary ex-
perses mentioned above it will be necessary
to increase the water rates. The superin-
tendent of the water department has rec
ohm ended TO the Commissioners an increase
In the rate for furnishing metered water
from 10 cents per thousand gallons, and
a corresponding increase in the schedule
rates for the portion of the supply which is
not metered. 1t is estimated that with the
increased rates recommended the collections
for water rents would amount to $453, 600,
which would make per capita rate for
the entire population of the District of CO.
lUmbia of S1.41. This increased rate is
somewhat lower than other cities of similar
size in the United States.

Transfer of Control of Parks to tbs
Commissioners.

The Commissioners recommend that the
system of parks in the city of Washington,
exclusive of the grounds around the White
House and the government buildings, be
transferred from the Chief of Engineers to
the Commissioners. or to board of control
such as that which has charge of Rock
Creek Park and which consists of the Chief
of Engineers, United States Army, and the
Commissioners. The cost OF maintaining
these parks is borne, one-half by the citi-
zens of the District of Columbia and the
other half by the United States govern
ment and Ii would seem but proper that
the Commissioners, who are responsible for
the collection of District revenues. as well
as the recommendation of their judicious
expenditure. should have the control OF es-
timating for and the expanding of funds
on these parks. The Commissioners, In pre-
pairing their estimates to Congress, have
to take into consideration the amount OF
the District revenues and to base their rec
concentrations upon the necessities of the
case and the amount of money available.
In doing this they are very often compelled
to forego s0me necessary public improve

Rock Creek Park.

The appropriation for the care and i'm
provement of the park during the fiscal
year 1895 was $4,000. This was expended
in spriukling roads and in the general care
of the park, including the extension of pipe
lines; in the hire of labor in watering; grad
ing and matchmaking Blagden avenue; the
building of wings to the dam at Pierce
Mill; the construction of a ford across Rock
Creek at the mouth of Broad Branch; the
grading of Beach driveway north of the
Military road; the resurfacing of portions
of this driveway; in the construction of a
bridge at the north end of the park, and
in constructing walks and protecting the
banks of the creek. For the next fiscal year
$4,000 will be asked for the care and i'm
provement of the park. This sum is needed
for the proper maintenance of the park
only, and does not include estimates for
any new construction.
AS stated in the report of the Commits
sioners for the fiscal year 1904. the great
est need of the park at the present is not
so much the opening or macadamizing
many new roads as the providing of ways
of approach and the acquisition of small
parcels of land necessary for rounding out
and protecting what is already park land
There is an urgent need to improve the en-
trance to the park by opening up Six
tenth street north of Piney Branch, and
especially the purchase of the valley of this
branch from Sixteenth street to the park.
A bill for the acquisition of this land was
drafted by the Commissioners and intro
duced in Congress last year, but failed TO
pass. The acquisition of the banks of the
creek below the Geological Park is also OF
great Importance to the park development.

American Henley Today

PHILADELPHIA, May 27-Thous-
ands Of lovers of aquatic sport lined
the banks of the Schuylkill today to
witness the races Of the American
Henley regatta. Auspicious conditions
surrounded the opening Of the regatta
and everything pointed to one of the
most successful events of the kind ever
held on the famous Schuylkill course.
The representation in the regatta
this year is hardly up to the expecta-
tions of the promoters, but the contest
ants are regarded as evenly matched,
and some interesting contests are con-
sequently expected. Interest centers
chiefly in the showing of the Vesper
Boat club eight, which is going to Eng
land next month to contest in the Hen
ley races on the Thames.

DEADLY AERIAL TORPEDO
War Engine HurIs Destruction by
RocketLike Flight

NEW YORK, May 27.-Joseph H
Mcintyre, president of the American
Projectile Manufacturing company, has
demonstrated the power and efficiency
of a new weapon Of his own invention
which he declares may revolutionize
the modern methods Of warfare.
The new projectile is an aerial tor
pedo, shaped like and operated in the
manner of a huge rocket. The shells
are fired at any angle or trajectory
rapidly sailing a distance of from 1000
yards to mile. Immediately on strik-
ing any object they explode with ter
rife force, scattering a hail of chrap-
mel steel bullets over a area 40 or 500
feet in circumference.
1t is asserted by the company that
the aerial torpedoes can be easily car
ried about, so rockets being a light
load for a pack mule over a rough
country, and in case of accident all
possibility Of premature explosion has
been guarded against.
The shells are brass cylinders three
inches in diameter and about 20 inches
