Superintendent Moore of the water
company was seen by a Herald man
this morning and asked about the
breakdown. and he said there was no
way to account for the break except
that the new engineer on duty at the
plant was maintaining a steady pres
sure of IS pounds in the mains. which
proved too great a strain on the pipes,
and at the point where IL gave way
there was a defective joint.
Mr.. Moore said yesterday morning
the chart showed that too high pres
sure was being maintained and he
tried to get the engineer by phone to
instruct him to reduce the pressure.

purposes. but he says the phones were
not working and he could not get the

The storm on Saturday afternoon
put some $50 phones out of commits

ton with many points.
A force of workmen were kept on
the break all of yesterday afternoon.

reform measures ever passed by an
American legislature. 1t puts under
direct State control every public ser
vice corporation, great or small, win
the exception of the telephone and the
telegraph. Under the new law four
of the most important State commits
sions pass out of existence. In their
Mace are to be two boards of five
members each, all of whom are APP
pointed by the governor, and these
boards are to have complete control
of the regulations governing the trans
portation and lighting facilities of the
State. It will be for them to compel
all corporations to give safe and ade-
uuate service at just and reasonable
rates; to prevent all rebates and dis
ordinations; to compel all common
carriers to have sufficient cars and
motive power, and to see that they be
held specifically liable for loss or
damage due to delay occasioned by
negligence.
The same law prohibits the giving
of free passes except in a few limited
instances. 1t provides also that no
franchise shall be capitalized in eX-
cess of the amount actually paid to
the State as consideration LOT the
grant Of the franchise; that the cap
ital stock of a corporation formed by
the merger or consolidation of two or
more corporations shall not exceed
the sum of the capital stock of the
corporations so consolidated at their
par value, or such sums and any addi-
tional sums actually raid in cash;
nor shall any contract for consolida-
tion or lease be Obliged in the
eTef: nor So any lfoIatlon here

1t is provided also that no corpora

another such corporation or common
carrier unless authorized by the COM

Special to the Herald
Washington, July IA number of
new laws and regulations affecting
the army and navy are always put
into force at the beginning of the
government fiscal year on July !, and
this year is no exception to the rule.
One of the new regulations which
gives especial satisfaction to the men
of the navy is that providing for an
increase in the clothing allowance
Under the new order of things the
clothing allowance given enlisted men
upon entering the navy is to be s65
instead of S45 as heretofore. An ex-
ception is made in the case of Orient
ais on the Asiatic station, whose al
lowance will be $50, representing their
lesser need in this respect. In the
case of the Fita Fitas. at Samoa. the
allowance is 500, since they have an
economy of attire which comes well
within that reduced allowance.
