Rogers a Good Witness.

New York, March 24.-Henry II
Rogers, Rockefeller's chief lieutenant
in Standard Oil, testified without fur.
Their ado in the Missouri custer suit
today. Replying to questions by Attor-
ney General Hadley, he said: 81 was
a stakeholder in the Standard Oil COM
pany in Indiana. I was not familiar
in detail with lie oil conditions in
Missouri and knew nothing of any
trade divisions in Missouri among the
defendant companies" He owned no
stock in the Waters Pierce company.
but understood that II. NJ. Van Buren,,
whom he knew slightly, was the son,
in-law of John ID. Archibald. and
thought that Tilford had an Office at
&c Broadway. and knew that the
Standards Missouri trade was not
controlled by any trade committee in
this city.
Knows Whole Lot of Things.
Rogers offered to send for a list of
the officers of the Standard. The wit

The Spicer-Weis injunction suit in
the district court, which was submitted
to Judge Carpenter for decision a day
or two ago, affords a living answer TO
some Of the statements made by Hon.
w. II. Holiday in his letter in this pa
per yesterday afternoon. More than
one person today has challenged many
of the assertions made by that gentle
man. One gentleman, referring to The
statement made by Mr.. Holiday that
three-inch laterals o supply more
than seven-eights of the homes in Lar,
amie," l~aughingiy made the coun-
ter-charge that all the houses in Lara
mic are supplied through a ten-inch
main-that being the size Of the pipe
on Grand avenue, through which all
the supply comes to the city.
A Case In Point.
against Frank Weiser in the district
court is a case directly in point. Mr.
Spicer sued out an injunction to pre-
vent Mr.. Weiser from stopping the flow
of the water through a jointly owned
pipe. Weiser OWNS a house at the cor
ner of Fifth and Clark streets, IN lot s
block 1876. Spicer owns the next two
houses, on lot 7. One water pipe furn
ishes water for the three houses and Is
owned jointly by the owners of The
property. The service pipe comes from
Fifth street to a point about opposite
the rear of the Weiser house, where
makes a right angle and enters the
Weiser yard.
Valve In Service Pipe.
The pipe comes from h three-lnci
main on Fifth street to the Weiser yar'
as a one-inch lateral. Weiser takes HI
%housepipe from this small lateral an
the Spicer houses get their supply ais
from that pipe. A valve was place.
between Weiser's outlet and the Quite
to the first Spicer house. This Val''
is against the agreement, and Mr.. Wels
er declares that he USED it but once
when he could not get water for nj
garden. Then he shut off the suppl
and the suit for injunction followed.
No Right to the Valve.
Hon. N. F. Spicer, the uncle OF u N
Spicer, says the right to the use G

No Wonder the Japs Won.

BULLET COMES
THROUGH HOUSE WALL

R. e. Fitch is looking for the boys
who fired a bullet through the wall of
his dining room this morning, coming
within a few feet of where he usually
sits when he is at home. Fortunately.
no one was in range of the bullet, but
that is not the fault of the boys who
fired it. Mr.. Fitch related the matter
to Marshal Sigman and the shooting
will be investigated.

Some YARDS o

A rush of water from the hills last

stream was forced to behave itself to-

that Mr.. Weiser clearly exceeds his
right in using the cutoff valve, as the
water should go to the Spicer houses
as well as to the Weiser house.
This case is but one of hundreds in
the city where very peculiar methods
were used in supplying water to the
consumer.
BrameI Case Similar.
A case somewhat similar to the
! Spicer-Weiser case is that of the Bran
ell property, at the corner of Fourth and
Clarke streets. When Judge C. w.
Bramel owned the two lots there he
sold one to his son, b. E. Bramel, who
, built a home thereon. Judge Bramel
was connected with a street main and
Bert Bramel connected with this SER
vice pipe. Later the judge sold his
home to Thomas Lynott and only good
nature and a desire to live ~peaceably
with his neighbor will prevent contro-
versy in future between the two prop
erty owners.
No End of Instances.
These instances could be multiplied
and multiplied with even greater com
Iplications. Take for instance Sixth and
Seventh streets south of Grand ave
nue., one of the most thickly populated
portions of the entire city. There
is no main on Seventh street and
the property-owners thereon rely on
the Sixth street main. Connections
have been made by parties on Sixth
street and the neighbor across the alley
has been permitted to tap on this SER
Twice pipe and then the parties to the
right or left have connected to the sec
ond party, making two, three and some,
times more houses supplied from the
one little pipe. These conditions exist
in every part of town and in almost
every block. And when you get out a
short distance the residents do not ev-
len have the three-inCh main to draw
directly from.
1t is said that a resident near the
Van Horn-Miller hotel site actually did
not know until recently just where his
supply came from.
