WATER BUGABOO
IN TYPHOID CASES
GIVEN DEATHBLOW
City'S Filtration Plant
Proved by Investigation
To Be Sanitary.

That milk is far more largely re-
sPonsibIe for the prevalence Of typhoid
fever in the District than the much
U4algned Potomac water and that the
charge that the 100000 filtration plant
has failed to make good, is without rea-
son, IS brought out with considerable
force I'm a statement which Dr. G. Lloyd
Magruder chairman of the committee
Of the Medical Society Of the District
investigating the various supposed
sources Of typhoid fever, has just sub
mitted 20 the District Commissioners. To
support this contention, which is based
on five months Investigation of the
District health situation by the late DR..
". ". Johnston, DIT c. NJ. Hammett.
and himself. Dr. Magruder offers a table
showing The comparative efficiency Of
the Washington filtration plant as com
pared with that of Lawrence, Mass,
both of which are similar In construc-
tiOn and filtration process. According
10 DR.. Magruder's statement Potomac
water is responsible for far less tye
phoid fever than either the milk sup
ply or public drinking pumps. many OF
which he shows. according 10 Health
Department records, are unfit for use.
Washington and Lawrence Compared.
The comparative table Of the filtered
water of the two cities. which DT. Ma
gruder furnishes. shows the quantity
OF 8acilli coli (baciHi in the animal eX-
cremenO, in the water Of the Lawrence
filter to have. through a period Of from
eight to twelve months. ranged much
higher than IN the Washington filter.
The samples tested he shows to have
contained in the water effiuent Of the
local filter from 40 bacilH coli per 100
cubic centimeters IN March. 1906. to a
per 100 cubic ceutlmerters. IN August,
1906.
IN only two other months did the local
filter register over 10 bacilh coli per leo
cubic Centimeters. when in April of
this year It indicated u to this
stated quantity of water and IN July
70. During July and August the
typhoid fever. as a rule, runs high
course.
The examination of the Lawrence filter
beds showed the percentage of bacini
coli In the filter effiuent 10 have for sew
eral years past run much higher than
the local filters record. The records of
the Massachusetts, city's plant showed
that in January. 1900, the filter effuent
contained IS baciM coli in every 100
cubic centimeters. This high percent
age was somewhat reduced I'm 1902 and
1905. but In 1904 again increased. The rec
ord for that year from January to the
following December showed the per-
centage TO have increased from 4s bac-
iut coli in every 100 cubic centimeters Of
filter efhuent ct the first Of the year. to
go in June, and then the percentage
dropped to 50 in September, and % at
the end of the year.
~An win admit" says DR.. Magruder,
'that the comparison is most favorable
to Washington. No sanitary engineer
or medical men ever thinks Of writing
or speakfng upon the efficiency of ultra
ton without quoting the magnificent
results of the works at Lawrence Il
should also serve 10 greatly mlugate the
fear for the Potomac water.

two weeks ago At that time. Il was
given out that General Bells visit was
on account Of the trouble oCcasfOned
by the presence Of the negro troops at
Brownsville. Tex. Although that matter
was undoubtedly discussed. there is no
question now bat that the main pur-
pose Of his trip was to consult with the
President regarding possible military
operations in Cuba. In this connection
there is some Significance IN the fact
that today Major Z. F. Iadd. one OF the

New York. June 27.-Harry Ken
dali Thaw of Pittsburg. brother of
the Countess of Yarmouth. who shot
and killed Stanford White. the notei
architect last night, is a prisoner in
the Tombs today. Thaw admits the
killing, pleading that his act was JUS
tifiable, that White had wrecked the
] life OF his wife, the beautiful Flor
/ ence EVeryn Nesbit whose marriage
to Thaw scarcely more than a year
ago, was one Of the sensations of the
time.
The murder of White probably was
/ the most dramatic sensational ira
gedy this city has witnessed since the
killing of Jim" Fiske by E. S. Stok-
es more than thirty years ago Aside
from the prominence of the princi-
pals the setting for the crime was
unique. Witnessed by more than
a thousand people who crowded the
open air theatre on the roof of Madi-
son Square Garden. White met his
death on what has long been recog-
nized as one of the greatest mouu-
ments of his genius.
Proceedings in the case against the
prisoner today were carried through
with the usual rapidity. From his
cell in the police station Thaw was
taken to police headquarters where
his photograph was taken and his
measurements made; he was arraign-
ed in police court and remandel TO
the custody of the coroner and snort
ly after noon he was in his cell in the
Tombs. formally charged with muir
der and held without bail. The coro-
ner's jury set the inquest for Thurs
day and said that counsel on both
sides that desired that the case be
submitted to this months grand jury.
Thaw's denfense probably will be
insanity and already three noted
alienists have been called in to re-
port on his mental condition.
Counsel for the prisoner announc-
ed this afternoon that they knew the
whereabouts of Mrs. Thaw and that
she would be produced at any time
her presence is desired. The mother
of the prisoner is passenger on the
steamer Minneapolis which Is due to-
arrive in England on July 3,
The funeral services over the body
of Mr.. White will probably be held

Washington, June 27.=Lawrence
Nieholai. formerly proprietor of the
National OIL companies in this city
testified today before the referee in
bankruptcy that the Standard Oil
company paid him an annual pension
OF $4,000 from 1895 to January
1905 refraining from selling oil and
gasoline in the District of Columbia
He said he received the money reg
ularly and gave receipt for 1t. He was
instructed to produce the contract
July 9th when the examination on
the bankrupt will be concluded.
Nicholai says he went into bank
ruptcy because when the Standard
on company ceased paying him So
OOO a year it had gained such a
strong hold and had so worked the
price of oil in Washigton. making up
the difference in Baltimore that when
he resumed business he failed COM
pletely. II is said by Nicholai that
the Home Columbia OIL company in
this city which was adverticed as in
dependent and not in the trust are
composed of Standard Oil people.
