WATER QUESTION
UP TO ATTORNEYS
MeSSrS. Ward, Gray and
Townsend Will Try TO
Adjust Differences
CITY ALREADY
LOSING REVENUE

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
referred to Ward and Cray. its attorneys,
this morning the matter Of giving the city
lO-year lease on its east side property
overlooking the Christiana creek in ex-
change for the privilege Of laying water
main through the city. Messrs. Ward and
Gray will confer with city solicitor Town
send with the view Of settling the dif-
ference between the city and railroad
companys water subsidiary according to
the plan as outlined but whether the city
will agree to the terms Of exchange is
problematical.
Samuel II. Baynard, of the Park Com
mission said this morning that a wrong
Interpretation had been placed on one
detail of his suggested plan of settling the
trouble between the city and the railroad
company as outlined at the Park Commis-
sion meeting. 1t was as to the water rev
enue which the city now derives from the
railroad company Mr.. Baynard explained
that the city is already losing $4,000
yearly from the company because it as
taking IT'S entire water supply for the
Todd's Cut shops and engines from She'll
pot creek. instead Of from the city mains
as heretofore. In view Of this loss Of
revenue. which viii never be recovered,
Mr.. Baynard thinks it well to accept the
company's offer Of the land in question
on condition that the 10-year lease be
renewed in the absence Of sworn proof
by the railroad company that the prop
erty is required by the company after the
expiration Of the first lease for actual
railroad purposes.
Should the city and the railroad COM
pany get together on the subject, the
railroad company will establish reservoirs
along its lines within twenty miles Of
Buford Lake and supply them as well as
the Todd Cut reservoir. with water from
the lake of gravtation, the elevation
At the lake being eighteen feet higher thf n
that Of any point the company wishes
to supply with water. At present the COM
pany is put ITO great expence in pumping
water from IFS Todd's Cut reservoir 10 the
shops and round houses.

Complaint Is Made

In the heart Of tho city surrounded
by many dwellings is a herd Of sea
lions and for several weeks their cries.
particularly at night. have made the
lives Of the inhabitants Of that Sec
tion Of the city miserable The an.-
mails are located in stable in the
rear Of the Irish-American Hall in
French street between sixth and
Seventh. and they are said to be the
property Of Captain Woodward. who
exhibited them during the closing
week at a theatre.
Complaint of the animals was made
to-day to Secretary Joseph Wiggles-
worth of the Board of Health and ne
paid visit TO the animals. which are
considered to be the best educated or
their kind in existence. Secretary
Wigglesworth IS not a nature falyir. -
and when he entered thes table he was
greeted by a storm OF hoarse cries.
While he may have thought that this
was way OF the animals I'm receiving
guests. in reality they thought he was
the keeDer with a tub Of fish to satisfy
their appetites. The officer found
everything clean about the place. but
he told the man IN charge that some-
thing must be done 10 move the ami
mails to a section of The city whore
their cries cannot be heard.
The suggestion IS made that the sea
lions he removed to the Wilmington
Free Zoo for the summer season, If
their owner intends to keep them here
until the theatrical season opens In
September. They would be quite an
attraction at the zoo. and the PROPOSE
tion may probably be made by the zoo
managers TO Captain Woodward, who
is now in New York.

LIGHTHOUSE OF THE PLAINS.
Big Searchlight on Pixies Pea,
Taken for a Comet.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DENVER, October THE Lighthouse
of the Plains recently installed on the
top Of Pixies Peak, caused mild sensa-
ton last week in Pueblo, Col, a city To-
Gated at a point forty-five miles distant.
Some residents had been wondering
whether a new and unknown comet had
made its appearance in the northwest and
was dazzling their eyes by its unusual
brightness, but when several would-be-
famous astronomers began to make inves-
LEGATIONS as to the unknown light they
found that their so-called comet was moth
the summit of Pixies Peak.
The first time the unknown comet
was noticed was several nights ago, when
the city editor of the Pueblo Star-Journal,
who was sitting on his front porch, saw
a new and brilliant light make its ap-
pearance in the heavens to the northwest,
and, after twinkling a minute or SO, dis
appear, and then reappear and continue
the game of light and dark for some time.
The only solution he could come to was
that it was a new and unheralded comet
that had burst into view.
So much interested was he that he call
ed up the Colorado College observatory
by telephone to inquire If Colorado
Springs people had seen the new tramp of
the skies. He was told that his comet"
was nothing more than the searchlight
on the peak, The Lighthouse of the
Plains"

NEW YORK, October THE Diamond
Importers Association has been working
for some time to check smuggling, which
has assumed colossal proportions, accord
ing to a report just made by Ludwig MIS-
sen, the chairman of it's customs COM
mittee. Nearly all the smuggling, &C
cording to the importers, is being done
by wealthy tourists because dealers regu-
larly in the trade do not dare to take the
risks Necklaces of pearls, diamonds,
rubies and emeralds and hand-wrought or
naments ip exclusive designs, are the ar
ticles most commonly smuggled
The value of jewelry smuggled each
year is estimated at between $4,000, 900 and
SO, 100000. The reports ask that SNUG
glers captured in the act be punished
more vigorously in the future. Hereto
fore 1t has generally been the custom
simply to seize the smuggled article and
permit the smuggler to go free.

now make is that the federal authorities
