MILLER ExONERATED
Not Particle of Ividsnce Asainst
 Him h Court.

Clyde Miller, n mOt0rman and gradu- ate of the High school, was arrested early this morning by Officer Donahue on suspicion of being the cause of the numerous fires that have stirred up the west end of late. In the city court to- day Miller was charged with arson, but no particular fire was mentioned, Tn fact the complaint was very incOm- pete, and the case was nolled. In making this disposition of it Prose cutor Melgs said there was no evidence against the young man.
 Miller and his motorman. Henry Coleman, were returning from the car barns at about 12:3O o'clock this morn Ing when they saw d red glare in the sky and knew that fire was in prog ress somewhere. They ran east along West Main street and found that the fre came from barn on Edward Me Graths property near Mattatuck street. Miller ran to where the blaze was breaking through the wood and told Coleman to look up an officer. Coleman ran away and while he was absent Officer Donahue, who had been on the alert for work of this kind, ap- peared upon the scene and took Miller into custody on suspicion. He haled him before Chief Snagg, told the chief the circumstances under which he caught Miller and upon the chiefs lad- vice Miller was held in the police sta tlon. Such are the facts, the official circumstances of the matter. Hence Miller's release this morning without trial.
 Miler's friends were dumbfounded when they read of his arrest in a morning paper, and those who know him feel confident that great injus- tice was done in giving the affair such H sensational framing up. The young man is preparing for his future life by aklng a course in college and even now is putting in his vacation days by rying to earn enough to pay for his tuition. The young man feels that he would have been better off had he all owed the fire to burn and continued bis journey homeward
 In the opinion of Prosecutor Meigs Rnd others Officer Donahue was fully uSliHeut uItucT tHe circumstances III hrresting Miller, and at the same time he remarked that but for Miller being with Coleman only few minutes be- ore, very strong circumstantial .ase would be charged against him. Miller was seen in the act of remov- ng barrel of blazing paper from the building, so it seemed to the officer hat he had seen the man in the seem ngly incendiary act

POLITICAL POINTERS.
"Clif" 1lls b iA the 1snninf for the
 City Clsrkshlp.

Clifford Els is a candidate for the
 republican nomination for the office of
 city clerk. He said so today to a
 Democrat reporter and spoke as If he had reason to believe that the boys
 will rally to his standard and keep him in the lead until he gets there with both feet Mir Els acted as as- sistant clerk under Richard F. Grady, winning his way to the position after fierce battle against Harry Vorhis, then a popular newspaper man, and one or two others who pulled quite a stroke. The candidates up to date are w. J. Sandland, Carl French and Mir Els. all pretty good fellows, but none of them is likely to win out provided the democrats play their cards right. The nabobs of the republican party are trife bolder to-day than ever be- fore regarding the mention of John F. Elton as candidate to succeed himself. Hell run," said one of them, bub- bling over with glee, land he'll do any man that you fellows can trot out" Nothing definite has yet been an- nounced regarding MT Elton's decision on this matter, but it appears to be pretty generally believed that If the democrats get into snarl about candi- dates, Elton will lead the cohorts again. John Elton will be away dur ing the present month and nothing of an authoritative source will be given out until he returns. The lieutenants have. their work marked out for them, but none of them is authorized to speak for the party and as conse- quence everybody will have to keep mum until Mir Kellogg says 80. It will be hardship upon some of them to stop politics. but they will have to do it or run the risk of being expelled from the star chamber sessions of the machine operators.
 Bernard F. Burke of Niagara street, a young man who has a host of friends, is talked of as probable can didate for alderman on the democratic ticket in the fifth district.

Soil As Well As Irrigation

Minnesota, with its 3 bushels OF
wheat to the acre, is talking about
irrigation. At least the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press is agitating the ques-
ton and wants it clearly understood
that Washington and other west
ern states have no patent On arti-
fetal watering of the soil.
1t appears that somebody has
been telling of the wonderful re-
suits produced in the west by irri-
CATION, and concluded with the
suggestion: eff the farmers of the
Mississippi valley really knew what
irrigation is, there would be such
a movement to irrigated lands as
the world has never seen." This
leads the Pioneer Press to inquire
why the Mississippi valley farmers
should go west when the benefits
could be enjoyed in an equal degree
by introducing irrigation right
where they are.
1t is quite true that the west has
no patent On irrigation methods,
but it has soil that is peculiarly
susceptible to irrigation. There is
mistaken idea that irrigation is
the whole thing. The real source
of the productivity of this western
country is the quality of the soil,
the irrigating process being simply
the means adopted to stir it into
life. Even with irrigation the Miss
issippi valley, fruitful as it unques-
tionably is, could not approach in
results the Inland Empire of the
west. There is no wish to depopu-
late Minnesota or any of the west
central states, but they must not
delude themselves with the idea
that they can produce crops of
grain or fruit to equal ours.

ment; have be obtained and ap-
proved by the Secretary Of the In

In commenting on this action the

TO say.
up to this time the board have
shown their unwillingness to comply
with any of these requests except
the one in regard TO employing a
competent force to run the plant. 1t
is understood that the board is ia
vorable to hiring superintendent
Nedder from the Junction to oversee
the pumping plant.
In regard to making report the
board claim that the Jaw provides
for only one report each year. and
since il is mot in the bond" they will
not comply. They claim further
more that it would be inconvenient
