FRANKLIN SQUARE SPRING
TO Be ABANDONED

Carrying out the policy Of the Health
Department 10 abolish wells in the Dis
trict when they are deemed injurious TO
public health, Dr. W. c. Woodward
Health Officer, has recommended TO the
District Commissioners that the spring
located near Franklin square, commonly
known as Franklin square spHng. be al
once abandoned.
The action of the Health Officer is
based on the report Of d recent analysis
OF the water of the spring taken from
a public we'll at Thirteenth and II
streets northwest. made by District
Chemist r. l.. Lynch. showing that the
water contained an excess Of nitrates
and chlorine.
Four analyses of this water have
been made since June s. 1905 and al
though the nitrate and chlorine content
has shown a progressive decrease, If is
not thought advisable by the Health
Officer to continue the spring as a
source OF public water. II is further
recommended TO abolish all other pumps
deriving their water from this source.

This filled the railroad senate ore
with more serious alarm than any
thing that had happened. They
were genuinely agitated at the plan
to "cut the claws" as Tillman ex-

ton. For the past six weeks all
the power of the railway gang has
been mustered to prevent this kind
of an amendment.

CONGRESS PREPARING TO SHOOT
Cannon into THE PRESIDENCY

1t is the belief of those who are
promoting the Cannon presidential
boom that he is the only man who
will be able to save the Republican
party from defeat.
The party leaders have been
much worried by the signs of radi-
calism and revolt in the political
atmosphere, and the chances of a
Bryan, a Hearst, or a Bailey riding
the popular wave to power, has set
them to scurrying for some man
CLOSE to the people
They say Root will not do. Fair
banks is out of the question. Even
Taft is now doubtful, and the
chances seem to favor his accept
ing President Roosevelt's invita-
tion to ascend the supreme court
bench.
The Illinois delegation in the
house is naturally for Cannon to a
man. Illinois is his state.
The Indiana members of the
house are in an embarrassing posi-
ton. There is scarcely a man of
them whose heart is not with Can
non, but so long as they are men,
bers of Fairbanks machine, they
feel that they cannot officially line
up their state with Cannon-not
until Fairbanks withdraws. There
is a movement on foot to bring
about this result.
The Ohio members of the house
do not feel at liberty to declare for
Cannon at this time The obstacle

colleague, Senator Chas. Dick, is

DRAPER TAKES RLOODHOUNDS
TO Scene OF TRAIN ROBBERY

Harry Draper, slayer of the Ore
gon outlaw, Frank Smith, accom-
PANIED by Tom Hopper. left this
morning over the Spokane Falls &
Northern for Kamloops. B. c.,
where they will take up the trail
of the two bandits who asst We'd
nesday held up the Canadian Pa
cific passenger train near there.
Both Hopper and Draper are in
teresting characters. Hopper is a
noted bear hunter while Diapers
career has well fitted him for his
hazardous undertaking He has
Il aveled in many countries and
seen service on the firing line. He
was for several years in the serv-
ice of the merchant marine of
Great Britain, serving before the
mast as a sea man. Later he inlist-
ed in the British army and saw
some hard service. His term car
RED him to Africa where he served
in the BOer war and was wounded.
Later he took UP the occupation of
"cowpuncher." His military and
cowboy career made him an expert
shot with both rife and revolver.
II was this ability which enabled
him to whip his revolver from the
bolster and plant bullet in
Smiths temple while the murderer
was drawing a weapon from his
pocket.
The chase after these bandits
will be severe test for tie hounds
as the trail will be at least three
days old, the start being impossible
to be made from Kamloops before
Sunday morning.
At ~ o'clock yesterday Draper
received word from r. Marpole,
general superintendent c. the Ca
madam Pacific, telling him to start
for Kamloops this morning.

know how broad or how narrow
will be the review which the courts
will exercise; nobody will know
whether temporary stay orders will
be issued, or whether the courts
! will cOnfine themselves to a eau
tious protection of constitutional
property rights.
The beauty of this compromise is
that nobody agrees with anybody
else as TO what it means. That is
why it can be the basis Of an agree
ment. Each side reads into thee
uncertainty the victory he desires.
So much for the Allison com
promise on the court review
amendment.
But this is not all there is to
the rate bill. Whichever side wins
as to court review, it must not be
| forgotten that the Hepburn bill is
a distinct advance on all previous
efforts to regulate the railways in
! this respect, namely, THAT THE
NEW LAW WILL SHIFT TO THE
RAILWAYS THE. BURDEN OF
ALL LITIGATION.
Under the law as it now stands
on the books the interstate COM
merce commission must go to the
courts to enforce any order which
It may make. Under the Hepburn
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. law the
orders of the commission go into
effect unless set aside by suit be-
gun by the railway.
1t is true that a federal judge
may issue temporary injunction
and hold up the orders of the
commission for weeks and months
while it goes into the merits of
the case from the beginning. 1t
i true that in certain cases the
courts may say that a permanent
injunction will issue against the
commission by reason of the in
vasion Of constitutional rights.
But under ordinary circumstan-
ces the railway will be compelled
to obey the order and to reduce the
rate or be liable to heavy fines for
every day it refuses to do so.
Thus the bill will carry out the

original intention of President
Roosevelt, in that it vii! increase
the powers of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to deal with
rates. 1t will, in fact give the
commission its first real power
over rates.
All this is admitted oven by the
railway senators. What the latter
contend-and is their one real com
fOrt-is that they have forced Pres
ident Roosevelt to retreat from his
attempt to limit the powers Of the
curt. President Roosevelt did, for
4 while, insist on the long amend
ment, and he looked with favor on

BIG REWARD

arrest and conviction of any mem
Der of the union for tamporing with
or destroying the property of the
Washington Water Power company
This is the answer of the union
to the charge made by the COM
pany that someone had been tam
pering with their transformers.
Anyone at all familiar with the
Ct Instruction affairs of The local
power company or other such
plants is aware that it IL an every
day occurrence for the fuse on
transformers to blow out: the trou-
lie sheets of the local monopoly
will show this to be a fact, men

being held in readiness, night and
cay.
There is no change in the strike
situation today. The company is
dragging along the best ii can and
he men are taking thei. enforced
vacation as matter Of course.
Many of those who have homes are
taking advantage of the strike to
weed their gardens and make neces-
sary improvements: Others spend
their time at headquarters. The
most noticeable feature, however.
of the entire trouble has been the
sbsence of disorderly acts on the
part of the strikers.
