Everybody Dodges Burning
Question Before Council
WATER COMMITTEE FORGETS
Members Fail to Recollect How
Much Construction Company's
Foreman Should Receive

1t developed during a discussion of
water affairs at the council meeting
last night that M. ]. Lynch, formerly
a clerk in the employ Of the Warren
company and supposedly
still in the pay Of the company, is
drawing IS a day from the city as
time keeper and paymaster on the new
water works extension.
This interesting fact was brought out
when the water committee presented
a report showing the number of men
employed on the pipe line September
l.. with the wages they are receiving.
Mr.. Lynch appears as one of the fore
men at a salary of 621s cents per
hour, or IS a day for eight hours
work.
Piece Of Report.
The report submitted by the water
committee last night was the one re-
jected by Mayor Kellough at last
weeks meeting because the list did
not show the salaries being paid. This
was added to the list and the report
went through.
When it percolated through the
minds of some of the councilmen that
Mr.. Lynch is extracting S. per from
the city's strong box, Councilman Glas-
ford mildly inquired of the water COM
mittee how it happens that Mr.. Lynch
is drawing such a munificent SALARY.
The venerable councilman also wanted
to know how many time keepers were
needed on the work
Councilman Bridges was also of an
inquiring turn of mind and thought
IS a day for such work vas trif1e
steep.
The minority member of the water
committee could not fathom how
it was that the city was paying Mr..
Lynch when he is supposed to be in
the employ of the Warren company in
looking after their end of the contract
with the city.
Councilman Mexican of the water
committee said he did not remember
lust how much Mr.. Lynch was to re-
ceive but he thought he was earning
all he received He said Mr.. Lynch
comes pretty near being the ''who
cheese" on the work, being paymaster
timekeeper inspector and bookkeeper
Mexican is Angry.
Councilman Mexican was rather net
tied at the insinuation that the COM
mittee had employed an unnecessary
number of time keepers and inspectors
and called attention to the fact Il
two months ago the need of the city
having it's own timekeepers on the
WORK CdIle up III OpCil SodiiSA eAiiN' NAA>
committee was instructed to employ
two men to look after the city's in
terests.
Kirkman also wanted the position
of the water committee placed in the
proper light and made motion that
the water committee go back over the
records of the council and see just
| what action the council had taker
| in reference to the employment OF
time keepers

education is itself the end of life.
Education brings knowledge and
knowledge is acquaintance with Gods
acquaintance with what He has made.
acquaintance with the life He has in
pired, and only as men possess this
knowledge can they know life, and
their place and mission in it. Only
through this acquaintance with God
can they know the end of life. Men are
not here, for purposes of probation
simply; they are not here in order to
qualify for the test through which
they pass on their way into the life
series of tests; true life is not lived
in periods of probation, probation is
the end of life; the end of life is Life,
larger, finer, grander. Neither are men
and women here in this world for ac-
cOmplishment-they are not here for
the set purpose of doing anything in
particular: they are here to Live. Life
does not imply a mission so much as
a growth; we are not here to do, but
to be. The object of all our toll, effort,
endeavor, is not achievement, but
life. True, indeed the words of the
sage. "As the living from the dead.
so differ the educated from the uned-
ucated man.
Dollars Not True Test.
AS college men and women the days
to come will bring to you an expe-
rience, common to all college men and
women. In this any experience Is a
common one When the college course
is finished, the college man goes out
into a larger world. Immediately he
is face to face with the vexing problem

GILLETTE IS HARD
 ON CAPTAIN CARTER
His Testimony at Savannah Proves the Most Interesting and Dramatic
 Vet Given.

Savannah, February 14-Maj. Cassius E. Gillettes testimony was concluded to- day and the Greene and Gaynor trial moved on to other witnesses not however before the session had proven the most interesting and dramatic that has yet been held.
 In the cross-eXamination of Major Gill lette by MT. Osborne. for the defense, sensation was created when the witness plunged into a revelation of the difficult ties he had encountered in Savannah be- cause of the prosecution of Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter. He and his family, he intimat- ed, had been received but coldly and there was a practical ostracism from that so- eiety In which Carter had long been faVorite
 The most dramatic feature of his evil dence developed however, when he quoted a conversation he had had with Mir. Os- borne, the attorney cross-eXamining him. that the latter had told him that the animosity developed against him because of his attitude toward Carter flor brazen effrontery which was without parallel in the history of crime
 Mr. Osborne endeavored to shake the witness in his memory of this statement. but Major Gillette adhered to it, declaring that he had repeated it many times since and that it was an observation so strk- ing that 1t could not have slipped from his memory.

SLIGHT ALTERATION IN BASE BALL RULES ARE FOR ELUci- DATING THE PRESENT RULES
 AND CORRECTING SOME ERRORS

New York, February 14-At the close of the meeting of the American League tonight. the schedule of games was made public.

The rules com mittee met again tonight. and will make a further report to the leagues at their meeting tomorrow.
 The representation of the National League were instructed that no change should be made in the foul strike rule, and no important changes whatever are looked for.

 " iitA d pftltd bdll pda6to tAt0itAf ttiI grounds or into stand, the umpire shall declare it fair or foul according to where il disappears from the umpire's view
 Rule 29 was amended to read:
 ''The choice of innings shall be given to the captain of the home club who shall be the sole judge of the fitness of the grounds for beginning a game after a rain, but after play has been called by the umpire, he alone shall be judge as to the fitness of the grounds for re- suming play after the game has been suspended on account of rain, and when time is so called, the ground keeper and sufficient attendants shall be under the control of the umpire for the purpose of putting the grounds in proper shape for play under penalty of forfeiture of the game by the home team"
 The American Leaguers practically com pleted their business, but they will meet for a. short session tomorrow. the Ma tional Board of the National association of Professional Baseball Leagues repre- senting thirty-one minor leagues through out the country, had a busy day at the Imperial hotel and will meet again to- morrow.

The board ad- mitted the South Michigan League.
 Harry Hunt and Verneulle who were suspended and fined by the Mobile, Ala club. were reinstated and their fines re- mitted.

Toledo, O., February 14.-"I have not challenged Jim Jeffres,' said Jack O'Brien, middle weight champion of the world who is in Toledo today. ''but in case he returns to the ring I will only be too glad to meet him.
 q know that 1t sounds foolish for a man of my weight to talk in this vein, but I have absolute confidence in my ability of milling and I believe that its efficiency is much more pronounced than Q bulk of muscle. I am trained athlete, relying on a peculiar system of my own. I have been successful so far and I believe 1t is all that Is needed to win every title in the pugilistic world"

ROJESTVENSKY TELLS
 HOW IT HAPPENED
Comments at Length on the Destruct- i've Effect of the Heavy Japanese
 Shells.

St. Petersburg, February 14-"Perhaps [ am guilty to some extent for our defeat and perhaps my subordinates did not do ali they might have done but at all events we who fought the battle were not thieves" said Admiral Rojestvensky, who addressed the Imperial Technical society yesterday evening at the Timskyav, on the causes of the defeat of the Russian at the battle of the Sea of Japan. The Admiral made no specifications regarding rascality in the construction Or equipment of the ships, but he commented at length on the destructive effect of the heavy Japanese shells which when they only exploded in the water near the Russian vessels, cracked their plates and opened great leaks, while those who hit the Russian ships were as destructive as mines.
 A young lieutenant during the discuss sion attempted to lay the blame on sub- marine boats, but the Admiral denied that submarine boats or mines were used dur ing the engagement
