NO ACTION YET

Difference Of Opinion As To
Which System To

SLOW SAND METHOD

Slow sand filtration or mechanical

which the people Of Wilmington are
awaiting a decision from the Water
Commissioners. In the meantime let
ters are being received by the Board
from leading merchants advocating one
plan or the other. offers are being made.

aid in erecting experimental stations
to test the efficiency Of mechanical
filtration. experts are presenting an ar
ray of advantages In favor Of the adop-

and the Water Department is continu-

After a visit to various cities where
mechanical or slow sand filters were
In operation the Board OF Water Com
misloners returned with the majority
In favor Of the slow sand filtration
method. But they have found many
protests from prominent citizens who
believe that the city's water supply can
be purified at less expense and with

The president OF the Board has ex-
pressed himself decidedly IN favor OF

adopt mechanical filtration with his
consent and IN case Il does he would
resign Dr. Robin. the city Bactereolo-

The opponents Of the slow sand hltra-

EINKATDLAW ACTS ASREFUCE
New Statute on Homestsaaing Enables
Land Fsnosrs to Secure PostpOnement
INDICTMENTS MUST Be READWsTED
such H. the Assertion of Assistant
District Attorney Lane in Re-
ferrinE 20 Further
Prosecution.

Assistant United States District Attorney
Lane said Tuesday morning in reference
to the further trial of the land fencing
cases at this term of the federal court
1T is probable there may be no further
trials Of these cases during the May term.
The reasons for this are that most of the
indictments were brought prior to the en-
actment of the Kinkaid law, and as vast
tracts Of land hitherto under illegal fence
have been formally entered under that law,
the indictments would have to be readjusted
to meet the new conditions. We could
hardly afford to go to trial without some
assurance of conviction. The indicted
parties might say, it was true they did
have lands under fence that were a part
of the public domain, but since then they
had acquired the land under the Kinkaid
law, and 1t is extremely doubtful whether
a jury could convict under those circum-
stances Consequently, this very
ground was a continuance secured in the
Bartlett Richards cases.
Must Make New Surveys.
New surveys will have to be made in
order that the Department OF Justice can
make absolutely sure of its premises. The
three special agents of the land depart
ment DeFrees, Nixon and Chambers, are
now in the field looking after these sur
veys and securing new evidence. 1t will
be largely from this new evidence that the
grand jury of November will be called
upon to act Yet we propose to go right
along with the work and will bring civil
action against the parties illegally enclos-
ing public lands. and If the fences are not
taken down within the time prescribed
criminal action will be brought. The civil
processes will be in the nature of injunc-
tion proceedings and we will not have to
await the action of the grand jury in such
cases. The instructions from the Depart
ment of Justice are to proceed with the
work and require the removal of the fences
at the earliest practicable moment, either
by legal proceedings or by force II neces-

TEDDY JUNIOR
MAY BE MADE PRESIDENT OR
SECRETARY OF HARyARD's
FRESHMAN. CLASS.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Nov. 20
Overcome by the unstinted congratu-
lations of his friends over his plucky
fight in then iHarsariY aieg freshman
football game Theodore, Roosevelt,
Jr.. found Harvard square intolerable
yesterday anu so spent Sunday with
his grandmother in Brooklyn.
Each year about this time the fresh.
men hold their first class elections,
and usually the men become a class
of men who have distinguished them
selves upon the grfdiron! This being
the fact, 1t is not at all unlikely that
Roosevelt win come up as a candi-
date for office. and If he does, his
election is assured. To-day the pros,
pect OF having a Presidents son as
President or at least Secretary of
1903 was openly discussed. The only
possible reason Harvard could see
against it, was that Roosevelt might
decline. feeling that the criticism
might be made that his influence gave
him the place.
