PLANS FOR FAIRGROUNDS.
Committee in Need of Funds-Meet
ing Held Yesterday Afternoon.

A meeting of the Fairgrounds committee
on schools was held In the Fairgrounds
office. I'm the Ouray building, yesterday at
ternoon, for the purpose of discussing the
collections in the Schools for Fairgrounds
this year. The children last year con-
tributed $3.50 to the playground cause. 1t
was stated that there is greater need for
the collection for school Fairgrounds this
year than there was last. A total of SIS. 600
was expended upon the school Fairgrounds
last year, and for the present year the
amount set aside by the Senate is So 600
The collections which have been received
from outside. 1t Is said, will not go far to-
ward paying the expenses of the summer,
so that two or three thousand dollars more
will be needed to carry on school play
grounds even If no new ones are opened.
The committee expresses the belief that the
parents who are to receive the benefits of
Fairgrounds should contribute something
toward their support.
Mrs. William Hoeke Is chairman of the
committee which Is looking after these col
1ections. and last night spoke to super-
yisors and principals concerning It, Notices
will be sent today from the supervising
principals of all the schools asking that q
liberal collection be made. The committee
hopes that sufficient amount will be re-
ceived SO that the Fairgrounds can be
started promptly and the work can be MAIN
tanned throughout the summer without any
further appeal for funds.

In Her Room.

Mrs. Alice M. Scott, fifty-four years of
age. who was employed as a clerk in the
pension office, was found dead in bed yes
terday afternoon in her room, 1715 14th
street. The gas IN the room was turned
on, and 1t was thought that her death was
due to that, but Coroner hewitt found that
an attack of heart disease was response
BILE. Mrs. Scott occupied room over the
undertaking establishment of S. H. Hines,
and he discovered her body in going to the
room to make an investigation, because
the odor of the gas was detected. 1t was
about o'clock when Mr.. Hines visited the
room He then hurried to the street and
sent for DR.. Dillenback, not waiting to ex-
anime the remains. DR.. Dillenback hur-
ried to the room and found that Mrs Scott
had been dead for considerable period.
Coroner hewitt was notified, and he gave
a certificate that death was the result OF
valvular disease of the heart. Mrs. Scott
had been sick recently, and she felt too Ill

A COOPERATIVE COLONY.
Japanese Farmers and horticultural
lists Established at San Antonio.

The bureau of immigration has been in
receipt of a communication from big irri-
CATION company in San Antonio, Tex, tell
ing of a colony OF Japanese farmers and
horticulturalists who have been estab-
Iished at Mitchell lake on land served by
the companys irrigation system 1t is
stated that large number of Japanese
have been settled on the property In the
form of a cooperative colony. The scheme
has worked well. The men themselves
have fair amount of money and beside
being skilled horticulturalists are large
employers of Mexican labor. so they can
not be considered in the light of cheap
connective laborers themselves. The most
of the men on the property have been IN
duced TO come from California and the
place has been visited in the past year by
Mr. Mataza Akazawa of japan, gradu-
ate of Vanderbilt University OF Nashville.
He approved of the plan and Is arranging
to go to Japan II October and bring back
with him a large number of additional set
tiers 1t is in the interest of the new

sentative Slaydep of Texas. They ask that

ing Japanese so that they viii not be held

Water Meters.
he Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Referring to the recent action of the
lexington Citizens Association disapprov-
ing the estimates of the Commissioners of
100000 for the installation of water meters
in private dwellings; to the action of the
House of Representatives in striking out
such provision after prolonged debate page
sos Congressional Record. which brought
out the fact that the use of water meters
would restrict the use of water for legiti-
mate purposes, whether It be for the lawn
or the bath tub. and the insistance of Rep
representative Simms on his point of order
on the ground that water should be free
as air. etc. and to the subsequent pub
lished interview In the local press with
Supt. w. A. Mcfarland of the District
water department, who prefaces his re-
marks II don't wish to appear to be an
alarmist, etc." in advocating the installa-
ton of water meters in private dwellings
for the purpose of saving water, and to the
action of the Senate in restoring the Item
of 100000 for the purpose stated. 1 will
thank you to give me little space, IL
practicable, in your paper concerning this
important and vital matter to every resi-
dent of the District. 1t was stated before
the committee that the rate now charged
for water through meters was three cents
per LOO gallons. The Commissioners nave
given notice, according to the local press.
that after July / next the meter rate will
be three cents per 100 gallons. We now
nave confronting US water meters as well
as an increase In the price of water. Ger
tainIy the only way to save water is not
to use it. There is no doubt about that
Supt. McFarlands preface to his remarks,
as heretofore stated. to my mind, means
that the superintendent Is a little CD I'M
certain as to his position In advocating the
installation of water meters In private resi-
dences for the purpose of saving water, for
on page 5S07. Congressional Record. In his
testimony before the committee, he states;
II don't believe the excessive consumption
is by the private water takers and that ne
would like to see the entire national gov
eminent service metered," etc. In other
Words the placing of meters In private resi-
denees evidently will not remedy the
evil 81. Therefore cannot see any urgent
necessity for this undesirable service at tais
or any other time. The writer MAINTAINS
that water meters will restrict the use or
water and will result in bringing about, IN
more or less degree. insanitary condi-
lions. How many people will freely use
water for the bath or lawn when metered?
1t is true that meters are in use In some

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS CHAIRMAN
Bailey and Culberson Mentioned to
Succeed German.

The time for the election OF a successor
to Senator German as chairman of the
democratic caucus has not yet been de-
cided, and 1t is doubtful whether such ac-
ton will be taken at the present session of
Congress.
Two men are spoken Of, and their ap-
pointment would be a practical declaration
of their leadership of the minority. Strange
ly enough they are from the same state.
They are Senator Bailey and Senator Gull
berson 1t is good deal of a toss-up
between these two. Culberson is found as
a quiet, forcefui manager. ready for all
emergencies by habit of being prepared
by constant research. He is regarded
as one of the most profound lawyers and
ablest men on the democratic side Bailey
also has strong qualities of leadership, and.
like Culberson, is constitutional lawyer
OF high repute. Added to these qualities he
Is a popular orator, suaye and pleasing,
but with failing of occasionally losing his
temper. But. all in all. the two men are
quite evenly matched In the present ses-.
sion Bailey has been in the front as the
democratic leader, although 1t is question:
able whether he has exercised more in
duence than Culberson.

price charged show that 1t ranges from @
to 25 cents per 1000 gallons. all water used
for lawn purposes being metered What
we may expect in the future under present
conditions is problem. The consumer
must pay for the meter. directly or indi-
rectly, and the price may range from $50
10 $40 per meter to install. 1t behooves
every resident of the District to use every
legitimate means in effort to have the
item in question stricken from the appro-
priation bill in the Senate. as il has prac-
tically been admitted by Supt Mcfarland
that the metering of residences win not
accomplish the end desired. What will?
II the government departments are metered
and they should bel in doubt
whether this would materially relieve the
situation: therefore. it would seem means
should be taken looking TO an increased
water supply. 1t is understood that an in
dependent water supply for each OF the
executive department buildings and those
now In course of construction, including the
new union depot, is practicable In other
words these buildings should not take
their supply of water from the city mains.
This would seem to relieve the situation
and there would be no occasion for alarm
from a water famine in the near future.
If | have been correctly informed, at least
one commercial establishment In this city,
and there may be others, has an indie
pendent water system. because IL is cheaper
than to pay the District tax.
