TESTING THE WATER SYSTEM.
Better Pressure Developed and More
Satisfactory Showing Made Than
Any One Anticipated.
from the Daily Item May 4.

From the Daily Item May 4.
Mr.. Keen, superintendent of con-
struction of the American Pipe Man
ufacturing Company, spent yesterday
in the city and in company with one
of the engineers Of that company
made an inspection Of the plant of
the Sumter Water Company. In the
afternoon a test of the system was
made to determine the amount of
pressure to be had direct from the
mains. The test was made under the
direction Of Chief of the Fire Depart
ment Hood in the presence Of the spe-
cial committee of council and the
newly elected commissioners of pub
lie works and Mr.. Keen and large
number of citizens. The test was
made under favorable conditions, the
staudpipe being full to the top, the
pressure guage Registering 50 pounds
at the beginning of the test. A Sec
ton of hose was attached to the hy-
drant in front of the court house and
water was thrown to the roof of the
city hall. Then a section YVES attach
ed to the hydrant in front Of Chan
dler's store and another to the hy-
drant at the Dry Goods corner. All
three streams were turned on at once
and the water was thrown to the top
of the flagstaff on Chambers store.
The pressure was stronger and bet
ter streams were thrown than any one
anticipated or that any one has seen
in many months. After the test on
Main street other tests were made in
different parts of the city and at each
and every place the pressure exceed
ed expectations.
The tests were made with ga inch
nozzles and this Of course made it
possible to throw the water to greater
heights than if Ia or 1 1-2 inch
nozzles had been used as was the case
when the system was tested when
first stablished.
The only explanation that can be
suggested for the deficient pressure
at every fire that has occurred for
several years is that the standpipe
was not full of water If this be the
true explanation the blame for un-
satisfactory service should attach to
manner in which the system has been
managed and not so much to the sys-
tenn itself However, the self-register-
ing pressure grcge at police head
quarters shows that the pressure has
averaged only 40 to As pounds for the
past six months. seldom reaching SO
pounds, while it has frequently fallen
as low as 80 pounds.
Mr.. Keen left the city last night
and the result Of his inspection will
be communicated to the officers of
the American Pipe Manufacturing
Company in Philadelphia.
1t can be said that the result Of the
test was complete surprise to every
body especially to those who have
contended that the water system was
in very bad condition.
AS soon as the new wells at the
pumping station shall be completed
and the pumps put in good order,
if they are not now, the next thing in
order will be the purchase of the sys-
tenn and it's transfer to the city.

LOS ANGELES TRAGEDY
Two Lives Wiped Out and Phoenix
 Wedding FoTestalled.

F. L. Blumer has returned from Los
 Angeles, where he went in company
 with Mrs. Blumer and her sister, Miss l Weller, in response to a message an
 nouncing the suicide of Fritz Kafitz
 after the murder of his brother Lud- wig Kafitz. The Los Angeles papers
 were somewhat in error concerning the incident, especially when they stated that the fratricide was occasioned by | the jealousy of the brothers concern | ing Miss Weller, whom Ludwig Kafitz
 was to marry last week. The facts were that Fritz was the older brother and was jealous of Ludwig who had i been given charge of their fathers business, though each of the boys had ] a handsome competence in his own
 name. Their father is very wealthy
 and the elder son, Fritz, had been tra- yelling with him in Europe during the ! past summer, having recently return
 ed to Los Angeles.
 During the summer Ludwig transact
 ed all his fathers business and was
 an exceptionally bright young man of
 exemplary habits. Jealousy on the part
 of Fritz, over the fact that his young ], CT brother had been placed in charge 1 of things, undoubtedly prompted the act, though he had nursed his animos- 1 ity and made no public display of 1t. l Indeed the two boys were out riding 1 together in their fathers automobile in l the afternoon before the tragedy. That evening, at home, Ludwig had tele- graphed to Phoenix that he would be here last Tuesday, and his wedding with Miss Weller was to be celebrated
 a day or two later. The message was received here at S:30 D. m. and in less than an hou- the sender had died by his brothers hand. Fritz entered the room and shot his brother through the heart and twice through the head then killed himself.
 Miss Weller formed the acquaintance of Ludwig Kafitz last spring when she first went to Los Angeles, meeting him first at the church attended by the KafitZes. Later she was with him ire quently during the summer and the acquaintance grew into a mutual af lection that was to have been fitting ly crowned by a wedding last week, . to which the contracting parties and all relatives were looking forward with
 pleasure and satisfaction. The match
 was a pleasing one, the bride to be be- ing one of PhoeniX's most handsome
 and popular young ladies and the pros
 pective groom being a we'll to do and
 highly respected Los Angeles business man. The tragedy could not have been caused by any feeling for Miss Weller, on the part of Fritz Kafitz, for they
 had never met, he being in Europe when Miss Weller was in Los Angeles. Mrs. Blumer and her sister are still in Los Angeles.
