Governor warfeld's Position.

Great interest attaches to the posi-
tion of Governor Warfeld and his in
tentions regarding the Constitutional
Amendment. The report that he will
soon make an open declaration of war
on the amendment will not down. 1t
has even been asserted that he will
wait until the campaign is nearing its
close, when he will issue a ringing
denunciation of the measure and a call
to all good citizens TO vote against it.
The Governor has given no inkling,
personally, of the course he intends to
pursue, but many Democrats point to
the fact that his attorney general,
Mr. W. S. Bryan. has IN an open let
ter announced his opposition to the
measure, and his fixed purpose TO vote
against it, They argue that General
Bryan did not take this action without
first consulting the Governor, and
that the sentiment met with the ap-
proval of Mr.. Warfield Hence, know
ing the courageous oal:ber of the
Governor in politics, they expect TO
hear from him ere the campaign closes.

CITY WATER SUPPLY FOUL
Much Complaint Over Bad Taste
And 0dor From City's
Drinking Fluid.
COMPANY HAVING THE PRO
DUCT ANALYZED
Water Sheds And Tanks Inspected
BY City Health Officer
Wm. S. Welch.

Considerable complaint is being
heard on all sides about the condition
of the water now being supplied TO the
residents of Annapolis by the Annapo
lis Water Company. For the past few
days the water has been clouded with
sediment. and in addition 20 this has
decidedly unpleasant odor and taste
The exact cause of this seems 60 be
a matter of conjecture, although Messrs
Harry j. Hopkins. president, and Ber-
nard Wiegard and William N. Wood
ward, members of the board of direc-
tors of the company, on Saturday took
Dr. William S. Weloh, city health
officer, out to the plant beyond the
Three-Mile Oak, TO inspect the reser-
voirs and water sheds.
Tho trouble is thought to be due to
the heavy rains or an accumulation OF
grass and weeds found in one of the
empounding dams at the company's
plant. This empounding dam has
been opened and all the water restrain
cd by il released, and in addition to
this all other precautions are being
taken by the company. All of the
water mains in this city, particularly
those on side streets, which have blind
stops at the end, are being flushed out.
Further than this the company on
Saturday collected specimens of the
fluid and sent it to Baltimore for
chemical analysis.
Whatever is found to be the outcome
of this inspection and the recommen-
datlons of the chemist will be acted
upon accordingly by the water COM
pany. In the meantime. while the
taste and odor of the water is decided
Iy Objectionable and is creating most
unfavorable comment, it is not thought
to be unhealthy, nor an immediate
menace TO the city

Shaft For Dead seamen.

A movement has been started among
the officers and men of the Pacific
squadron looking to the erection of
suitable monument to the memory OF
the seamen who lost their lives in the
recent disaster on the Bennington.
Rear Admiral Goodrich, commander
ln-chief of the squadron has sent q
circular letter to the men under his
command, suggesting contributions Of

that the monument be plain granite
shaft 40 or so feet high. and that it
be erected on a commanding site at
the military cemetery on Point Iona,
in full view of the shipping entering
the harbor. The estimated expense for
the erection and subsequent mainten-
ance of the monument is 81, 600.
