Newport Water Commission
erS and Delaware Water
Company At Outs

Newport town commissioners will meet
tonight in the office Of J. C. Just S, to
discuss the question OF water supply
for the town. The water question has been
agitating Newport Tor several menths,
largely through the action Of the previous
board of water commissioners. Sometime
ago the Delaware Water Company ap-
peared before the previous board and re-
quested permission to lay water PIPES
alongside Of the P.,. b. and ". railroad
right of way through the town. This Was
granted.
owing to the situation which arose in
Wilmington with regard 10 the Delaware
Water Company that company desired to
change the route and asked that perm s.
sion to lay pipes through Newport be
granted. The new board granted this
permission conditional upon the installa-
tion and maintaining by the company Of
four fire plugs in the town.
The company refused TO comply with
the condition. claiming that # was not
seeking the privilege of supplying the
town of Newport. but merely asked to lay
pipes through a portion Of the town
The majority Of the commissioners are
in favor of refusing permission unless the
town gets some return for the use Of its
streets.

Testimony for the prosecution was heard
this morning in City Court in the case
OF the city against William F. johnson,
Of Johnson and Brother, accused Of sell.
ing diseased meat in violation Of the

tors when the case was called and the

tubercular.
Upon cross-examinat.on by Judge Cooh-
ran who usurped some Of Andrew c.
Graxs. duties as attorney for the d.
fense who represented Johnson, Mr.. De-
vine said that 1t had been Mr. Johnscn's
habit to send for him when any meat
loked suspicious and he did not believe
that Mr.. johnson knew anything about
this occurrence.
Mr.. Devine's testimony while the same
as that given before the Board Of Health
lacked the positive quality which it had
there and the evidence came with seeming
reluctance.
He declared the meat in question looked
good but had been trimmed on the inside
in way usually done in case Of tubercu-
losis.
Charles Lutz, the killer Of the COW. was
present and testified TO finding rash on
the inside From his best knowledge he
believed It to be tuberculosis. He told the
boss that the COW was bad" and was to q
to trim it out. He did so.

whether he ever knew Of diseased meat
having been sent out Lutz said he did
not
The next witness was Charles J. Marks
the superintendent He had worked fol
johnson Brothers for five years and knew
that any suspected cattle were examined
by the meat inspector
Judge Cochran here declared that II III
were Mr.. johnson he would fire the wit
ness in a hurry The meat had been re
ported to him as bad and yet he did no
examine the COW. Mr.. Mautz declared tina
a year ago he had been told to trim ou
parts that we're not too bad

testified regarding the inspection Of tn
Abattoir, the appearance of the COW an'
the attitude of Mr.. Johnson.
DIR. Robin testified that the meat Of

some. The priclSly heat seen on the insid
Of COW is a sure sign of tuberculosis
If one part showed tuberculosis then tn
whole carcas was unit for consumption
as the disease would be found in all parts
