CITY ALMOST
FREE FROM
ElECTROlYS|s

Acting on a suggestion made in the
mayors message the committee on rail-
roads has made an examination OF the
city water mains i'm regard 10 electrolysis
OF them.
The committee reported 10 the common
council last evening. They reported that
this city is as free from electrolysis as
any city in the country. They also report
ed that Rhode Island company has agreed
TO provide new construction with the in
tention OF reducing the escape of the cur
rent TO a minimum.
The report, which was received and was
ordered communicated to the board of
aldermen is as follows: "In the inaugural
address OF his honor the mayor attention
was called TO the danger to the city water
mains from electrolysis. and it was sus-
gested that the committee on railroads
and the commissioner of public works
should report thereon. Under the state
law governing the department of public
works and under the city ordinances the
control of this matter Is wholly vested
in the commissioner of public works. but
on Feb. 4. 1907. a resolution was referred
TO your committee instructing the COM
missioner of public works to report on
electrolysis OF city water mains,
Your committee has considered this
question at several of fits meetings with
his honor the mayor, the commissioner
OF public works and representatives OF
the Union Railroad company. At a spe-
cial meeting OF the committee held on
April 8. 1907. this subject was thoroughly
discussed by the electrical engineers OF
the street railway company. the city's
electrical expert. Mr.. A. A. Knudson OF
New York, the mayor and the members OF
tho committee. As "A result of this confer
ence it was agreed that the best way 10
prevent electrolysis was good construc-
tom that the Herrick test car which. the
railroad company proposes TO use in this
city was the best and most effective meth
od of discovering escaping electric cur
rents; that 1t was for the interest OF the
railroad company TO prevent this escape
OF ELECTRIC current; that IL was the duty
OF the railroad company 10 fully protect
the city from damage. TO its water mains
by escaping electric currents; and that
with cooperation between the city and
the railroad company the escape OF cleo
tricity can be reduced TO a minimum
New construction was recommended in
certain sections OF the city, and the rail-
road company agreed TO make these
changes as soon as possible. and also TO
have a thorough test made OF all the lines
on its system. The matter was then con-
tinued until this test should be compile
ted. This work has been performed and
the accompanying report of the commits
sioner OF public works thereon shows
that the railroad company has spent a
great deal of money and has taken every
precaution possible to prevent the escape
OF fits electric currents on TO the city
water mains.
Since this matter has been under dis
cussion from so To 30 per cent of the re-
ported danger points have been repaired
or renewed as recommended by the cleo
trical engineer. and at the present time II
is believed that the city is as free from
electrolysis as any city i'm the country

New York, Dec. 3-There arrived yes-
terday on the Blucher, of the Hamburg
American line. the youngest globe trotter
that immigration officials remember ever
To have entered this port alone. His name
is Edward Baudenblstel his age three
years. and he is making SIX thousand
mile Journey to join his parents in San
Francisco.
II is by no means unusual for children
to be shipped across the Atlantic 20
p-rents or relatives on this side. but they
generally como In twos or threes. No one
on the Blucher could remember such a
young person alone making so long a
Journey rs Edwards,
Indeed, the youngster did not begin his
Journey alone. He left his homo in the
little town OF Baden with his aunt, who
had taken care Of him ever since his
father and mother left for America when
he was baby. His aunt and Edward left
Hamburg on the Dlucher on the trip be-
fore the last. Hardly had the ship lcf,
port when the aunt fell III. and at Cher
bourg her condition was such that she
and the boy were taken ashore. The
aunt died three days later, and Edward
remained In charge OF the hospital au-
thorfties at the French port.

BRITISH DON'T
LIKE VICTORY
BY AMERICAN

New York. Dec. 3.--Although they give
him all the credit for defeating Gunner
Moir I'm the heavyweight battle In London
last night. the English press is not well
pleased with the victory won by Tommy
Burns, according to the extracts from the
English papers cabled here this morning.
The English believe Burns TO be an
American. while as matter of fact he Is
Canadian and It is evident that much
OF his unpopularity is due TO that fact.
Even his victory, after a fight which
all admit was his from the third round
was hooted.
That Burns had all the best Of the fight
from the beginning Is admitted by the
Sportsman which says that Moir was
badly used up while Burns on the 9TH
er hand had not turned a hair and not
only left off without mark but even
the parting OF his hair was not disar-
ranged"
