NO WATER METERS
FOR THE DISTRICT
Provision Stricken From
District Appropriation Bill.
AFTER ANIMATED DEBATE
Measure Is Then Reported to the House
and Passed Without
Objection.

The question OF limiting the use OF
water by householders in the District
Of Columbia was made the occasion OF
discussion during the consideration of
the House District appropriation bill
yesterday afternoon. The bill contained
an Item of $4,000 TO be invested IN water
meters. and afterward 10 be paid back
TO the Treasury from the water reve-
nue. at the rate of $4,000 year. Mr..
Sims of Tennessee entered a protest
against any policy Of limiting the supply
of water. on the ground that II would
be dangerous 10 public health. Mr..
Mann of Illinois declared that water
rates now are three times as high here
as In Chicago. despite that water is
metered IN Chicago.
Gillette Defends Proposal.
Mr.. GiIlett of Massachusetts. who has
charge of the bill. defended the proposal
10 meter water. declaring that the waste
is one OF the huge items or District
expense. He said that unless the plan
OF metering is adopted and enforced the
city will very soon be confronted with
the necessity for greatly increasing the
waterworks. IL not rebuilding them on
Mr.. Sims said that il 100000 was spent
for more meters. as likely as not before
II was paid paCk Nn0 IfENtAalak system
would be found unsatisfactory. and
would be abandoned with no other re
suits than the loss OF money expended
for meters
Filtration Is Useless.
In this connection he declared that
the great filtration plant. built at a cost
Of several millions. and only recently
put into service. Is already declared to
be practically useless for the purposes
for which IL was designed. and there
Is a vigorous demand for the Inaugural
ton Of a system OF chemical publication
OF water. He did not believe in limit
ing the consumption OF water. and was
opposed 10 any 10000 experiments in
meters.
After the discussion had preceded for
sometime Mr- Simz insisted on a ruling
that the provision must be stricken out
as new legislation. saying that he had
made a point or order 10 this effect
No Water Meters.
BY vote Of IS to 16 the water-meter
provision was stricken from the bill. Tn
less it is restored on the floor OF the
House or in the Senate. this ends the
consideration OF the metering system for

THE people like his little lecture to

mo alarm is felt, either, because of
the alleged sOcialistic tendency of the
Presidents utterance on the subject of
progressive inheritance taxes. This
question and others like it have to be
dealt with sooner or later. and the wisest
heads see that Theodore Roosevelt is
doing more by ais advocacy of the square

to postpone the advent of socialism than
any other public man either here or in
Europe.

Are you Suffering
With Catarrh?

The first stage of catarrh is
aused by taking cold. Most peo-
pie pay little attention to a cold.
In a little while a case of catarrh is
the result. Catarrh is a local dis
ase, caused by an inflammation of
the mucous membrane of the nasal
and other passages. The nasal
passages being most exposed to the
changes of the weather are the first
it, become affected. Each cold
AIKEN aggravates the disease, and it
will be noticed that colds are takn
much nor easily as the disease pro
crosses. Soon the accumulation of
begins to drop into the
throat, then on down into the lungs,
s npregnating both with the disease.
If proper medicines are applied
there is no reason why eatarrh can
not be cured.

RICHARDS ASKS PARDON.
Ex-Deputy United States Marshal
Wants Out of Pen.

Des Moines-W. S. Richards, ex-
deputy United States marshal, serv-
ing an eighteen-year sentence for
robbery, thinks he had had enough
though he has the softest snap at the
disposal of Warden Jones at Fort
Madison.
Friends of Richards are understood
to be taking steps now to secure
pardon for the ex-marshal. The pc
tition has not as yet been presented,
but it will be.
Richards was deputy marshal in
the service Of Uncle Sam when he
planned the daring hold up of an
old couple in the little town of Hamil-
ton, Marion county, where Richards
and others operated an illegal saloon.
A large sum of money was secured
by extortion. Frank Baird, who was
shot, was sent up for eighteen years,
and Richards was also given the
same time in prison.
At Fort Madison Richards Is in the
library in charge of the books, but
even this light work is more than he
cares to keep up steadily for eighteen
years. He has now served about
two years.

BANKER is INDICTED.
cIearteId Man Held on Two Counts
for Wrecking Institution.


Bedford-Two indictments have
been returned by the grand jury
against H. o. Hughes. formerly assist
ant cashier Of the defunct Farmers
State bank of Clearheld. He was ar
rested.
H. o. Hughes is the son Of William
Hughes, an old and wealthy resident
of Corydon, who at the last term of
court was indicted Jointly with his
stepson, w. A. Farren, for fraudulent
banking These charges all grew out
of the failure of the Farmers bank at
Clearfield.
Farren, the cashier, is now fugi-
tive from justice. William Hughes is
under bonds with nine indictments
against him. There seems to be a
disposition on the part of the depos-
itors to relentlessly prosecute these
cases, and long and expensive litiga-
ton will no doubt result
With minor exceptions, the twenty
or more civil suits growing out of this
bank failure, have been continued un-
til next term.

Abba HAS $4,000 FIRE.
Destructive Blaze Sweeps Towns

Destructive Blaze Sweeps Towns
Business Portion.
Albia.-A $4,000 fire occurred here
early on the morning of the goth
caused by the explosion of the gaso-
line lighting plant in the Latimer
Brothers & Dunn department store in
the Cramer block on the south side
of the square. The blaze gained con-
siderable Roadway and burned fierce
ly. 1t was hard fire to handle and
1T was an hour before it was fully
extinguished. Fire, smoke, and water
completely ruined Latimer Brothers
& Dunn's stock of goods, valued at
$4,000. The building, owned by R. O..
Cramer, was damaged perhaps $4,000;
the Riggs Hanna hardware store next
door suffered loss from water esti-
mated at over $1,000; Cramer's stock
room over Latimer's burned with loss
of about $4,000. w. c. Ramsay lost
$4,000 worth of household goods. Mr..
Matthews, John Hartsuck and other
families living in the block suffered
damage to household goods. There
were a number of smaller losses.
Abba will have fine waterworks sys-
tenn in operation in couple Of
months which will increase its fire
fighting ability.
