the long distance telephone Secretary
Anderson talked with the various mem
bers of the temporary organization COM
mittee, made up of people from all over
the state. The major suggested the use
of telegraph service and he was given
carte blanche to go ahead So he pro-
ceeded to spend about S35 in telegraph
tolls last night, sending each county
board in the state a gentle reminder to
appoint its delegates.
The move will doubtlessly have the re-
suit expected of it. On Saturday IS dele
gates had been appointed. This morn
fng's mail brought in eight additional
ones. making 26 in all. According to the
plan each board of county commissioners
is to appoint one delegate. the mayor of
each city is to appoint one, and for every
additional 5000 population the cities are
to have one more delegate. If the pro-
gramme is carried out strictly all over
the state the complete delegation would

ISN'T THIS FUNNY?
Inspector CLANCY Says There Is No
Choke in Water Main.

E. A. CLANCY. city plumbing in
spector, makes the startling assertion
that no Choke exists at Fifth and
West streets in tFe city waterworks
mains, and that any trouble concern
ing the pressure must lie at the plant.
It have made a great many cOnlec-
tions on to that main which runs east
on Fifth street" said Mr.. CLANCY this
morning, "and I can't see how a
choke could exist. That's an 1S-inch
main all the way down to Fifth and
Buchanan streets. I understand that
they say the 1S-inch main does not
extend down Fifth street and that it
is by reason of the smaller main con-
Meeting that the choke exists. 1 have
made connections on that Fifth street
main. and I know that it is an 1S-inch
main. It may extend further east
than Buchanan street, and probably
does to Western avenue. The old
proposition to build a standpipe at the
corner of Fifth and Buchanan streets
I understand was the reason for
bringing the 1S-inch main down that
far. How a 'chock' could exist with
this being the case I can't understand.
In my opinion the whole trouble lies
at the plant; they haven't got a main
large enough for the capacity of the
pumps leading from the plant. It
should be a 30-inch main instead of
an 1S-inch. The only way that the
pressure win be secured. in my esti-
nation, is for the construction of an
other 1S-inch main. The main should
be brought around through the south
west portion of the town in the form
of belt line when it is constructed.
Another thing I can't understand
is how the construction of that 12-
inch main down Seventh street from
West street to Western avenue is going
to relieve conditions to any material
extent. How the construction of an
other main leading into that Western
avenue main Will help the pressure is
beyond me. In the case of steam you
would simply pile up the pressure and
produce a kind of bind. In this in
stance you have water at a pressure
leading into the Western avenue main
from Fifth street, Sixth avenue and
Seventh street. It appears to me the
water pumped through the Seventh
street main will pile up backwards and
stop the flow.
1.-THE trouble lies at the plant. The
difference in the 130 pounds pressure
there and that down town here at 80
to 80 pounds on an emergency call is
too great to be accountable for except
in that way
''The trouble with CLANCY is that
he is wrong; just as some other people
are mistaken he is mistaken" said
Supt- Jesse Shaw of the waterworks
department. 'That main down Fifth
street is a 14-inch main, not an 1S-
inch main.'

Second, there is the Elkins supposed

would strip the interstate commerce
commission of judicial features; en-

But the whole question will be one
or phraseOlogy, largely. It may turn
on the wording Of single sentence;
ana mere is where the rub VIII come.
In what language shall congress dele
gate its conceded and assured power

istrative bOdy-not one comprising
Legislative, executive, and judicial
powers. like the old court of visitation
IN Kansas, but an administrative body
alone-is the question that confrontS
the experts in language and legisla-
ton in the congress of the United
States For the legislation that is to
bring relief from unquestioned wrongs
must be firm and stable and lasting
and not susceptible of attack in the
courts as to its constitutionality.
So the battle has not yet even be-
gun. 1t viii be on good and strong
from this week on. The committee

will then submit its report, or reports,

There is this thing that may be set
down as certain: The real legislation
on this all important issue will be
made in the senate. The senate is a
deiberative body; derisively referred
to as SUCH after the fashion of the
day; but when it comes to thTeshing
out and sitting down a proposition,
and putting it into law. the senate is
the body which will have to do it.

glowing Goals is described by writer in the Straits
Budget of that city. He says, "several wood
fires had been lighted the right side of the temple
and by O'Clock these had been reduced to glowing
embers The priests spread these out in the same
manner as an athletic ground is prepared with sand

dug and was filled with water from jars. The gods
were then carried out and placed the small
pond facing the redhot embers. An unfortunate
young white goat was smeared with saffron and was
held by two men on the ground just at the edge of
the embers. These live embers were very hot and
the heat could be felt half dozen yards away Two
men seized the miserable goat, by the head and
the other by the hind legs. third man knet with
huge, heavy chopper, shaped like a scythe. AS the
devotees approached nearer he raised the cruel knife

swish on the neck Of the poor goat severing it's head
from the body Instantly. One then snatched
up the struggling and bleeding body and placed it
TN front Of the gods. The other Hindoo followed
with the head. It was grewsome sight and was
greeted with bowls and shouts

SUCCESS OF BLIND GIRL.

Being deprived Of her sight from
babyhood has not deferred Christine
La Barraque from entering upon a
prof career. She has been grad
uated from the University of Califor-
MIA, admitted to practice law in the
state Of the Golden Gate, is mistress
Of four languages, and is now going
to Italy to prepare herself for the con-
cert stage. All Of this she has accom-
plished in the brief period Of twenty
seven years. During her course in the
college Of law the blind woman taught
IN the public schools Of San Fran
cisco. r, tss ..'..':. -. r.. -.
Upon her return to this country she
hopes to be heard in oratorio. She has
the voice Of dramatic soprano.
By her manner Miss La Barrauue
does not betray that she is sightless.
In college she was interested in ath-
letics, and took exercise on the ap-
paratus with the rest Of the girl stu
dents. She Is an enthusiastic horse
woman, and never permits anyone to
rein her horse when riding. Her COM
panion just gives her a hint as to the
turns in the road. She is great adj
mirer Of color. Her apartment is filled
with beautiful pictures, and she talks
Of them with enthusiasm. She dresses
/ in becoming taste, and knows by, the
sense Of touch whether or not her
friends are becomingly gowned.
