CLEANING IT UP
City Hall Pipes Given a Good
 Flushing Yesterday.

The sewage pipes in the city hall were given the water cure yesterday. Captain Heitman of the Leaven- worth street engine house was the doctor, assisted by several firemen. A line of hose was run from the hy- drant on Leavenworth street opposite the engine house and the other end inserted in the water chute descend ing from the roof of the city hall nearthe tax collectors window. When the water was turned on there was scurryamong the large crowd of spectators for in a second there was water everywhere but not a drop of 1t to drink. It deluged the sidewalk and the street and then broke out in the chute near the rear entrance to the board of charity's room. The pipes received a most ef- fective flushing and all the political sins that have been committed in the city hall were washed away with the force of the water, and Janitor Loughlin was a happy man once more.

MOTORMAN'S CASE
Counsel for Trolley Company
 Not Ready to Go Ahead Yet.

The case against Herbert Snow. the motorman, for overspeeding his car down North Main street and col Hiding with a hack, week ago, was again continued in the city court this morning at the request of At torney Boardman of Bridgeport, counsel for the trolley company and Snow. While the matter is regarded as an ordinary case by the court off, cials, Attorney Boardman seems to be making mountain out of mole hill. He contended before Judge Peasley that the case was so en- veloped by law, the constitutionality of which he doubted, that it would require some time for him to lool, into It. So the case went over to Tuesday on Shows own recogniz- ance.
 William Stokes was bitten in the face last Sunday by dog owned by Ovile Cote, 155 Charles street. Owing to the absence of some of the states witnesses this case went over to tomorrow morning.
 Patrick Kelly was committed to Brookside for thirty days for intoxi- cation.

Later Kurwitz retired to the lavatory and there he was set upon and knocked down by Edward and an- other fellow and his money taken from him. Edwards defense was that he merely acted as peacemaker between Kurwitz and his assailant He denied taking the money. He was fined $20 and costs.

WORLDWIDE ORGANIZATION.
Expansion of Marconi System Ex-
 ample of Persistent Progress.

New York, July 26-The announce
 ment from Glace Bay, N S., that the
 famous wireless inventor, Marconi,
 has just completed some vitally i,n-
 portant experiments looking to the
 early opening of commercial trans-
 atlantic wireless communication, has
 called attention to the progress which
 Is being made toward developing the
 Marconi system in every quarter of tlie globe. Starting with the parent com pang. organized In England, bare six years ago, a system has been built up which will soon afford any ship at sea the means of communicating with land at any point on ner course.
 The organizing of the American, Canadian, French and Belgian com panies has been followed py the form ing of company for the Argentine Republic and another wilr shortly he established in Brazil. The Italian government controls the system in Italy, but Is working in perfect har- mony and accord with all the other companies. The Marconi stations which are being established in Si- beria, China and other far eastern points, will soon develop business warranting the organizing of com panies to directly care for that sec tion. The system will also be found in the near future on the Pacific coast of the Americas. The far sighted policy adopted at the begin- ming is now bearing fruit All these. companies are tributary to and ac- tually controlled by the English Mar cont company. so that the world wide organization is being developed along logical lines with an assurance that no conflict of policy may ever arise to curtail the progress or mitigate against the best interests of this huge business enterprise, now so far ad- vanced that 1t must be classed among the most important international busI- ness factors.

EXP0sITIONs MUST GO. Movement on Foot to Kill tho Worlds Fair Business.

Washington, D. C., July 25.-A
 movement, international in It's char | acter. has been started to call a halt
 on the holding of world expositions. During the past twenty years, the
 international exposition business has
 become a habit. All sorts of anni-
 versaries and events are being cele-
 brated with an exposition. This is
 peculiarly so in the United States. In
 the opinion of statesmen of many
 countries, the time has arrived to put
 stop to this sort of exploitation
 and itis regarded generally by those
 who have given consideration to the
 subject that the exposition habit has
 about played itself out. It is quite
 likely that the last of the great shows of this character now is being held in
 Virginia. commemorative of the
 landing of the first settlers at James, town.
 AS an exposition, the Jamestown show Is success, but there is no con- cealment of the fact that 1t is not, so far. money maker. This is due to the fact that the exposition business, particularly in America. has been run into the ground. Congress was per suaded only by the most strenuous efforts to give It's aid and support to the Jamestown exposition and 1t is a practical certainty that the govern ment will not lend support to anoth- CT similar proposition in a good many years to come.
 The international objection to ex- nFnu Cfa fn That government has said fiatly that the frequent holding of worlds fairs has run its course for good, and 1t has suggested that. hereafter. expositions be held for the exploitation of speci- Rlties. if held at all.
 Tn a recent report to the depart ment of state. Consul General Gunth- CT. at Frankfort. indicates that the German trade bodies have put the seal of their disapproval on the pro feet of holding a worlds exposition at Berlin in 1913, or some other year during the coming decade. Consul General Gunther reports that the chamber of commerce at Mayence, one of the most important bodies ia Germany. adopted resolutions prac- 0T@tAnhAG A0 An NHH Berlin worlds exposition. declaring that no substantial aid to such an exposition could be expected from H. The resolutions suggested. however that. the chamber deems 1t more ad- Instead Of general worlds ex- positions. to organize for all products of human activity international ex- positions of a special industry. as such only can have the effect of fructifying and stimulating the fn- dustTies and trades"
 Similar reports have been received by the government from other coun- tries. the indications being plain that those countries do not intend. In the future. 10 participate very actively in eKpositions Of a general character. It is indicated that they sre too expensive to be held for the sake of mere sentiment and that ro practical good can be expected to se- true from them
 This feeling among other Countries lf the world agrees with that enter iained in the United States and. fn he opinion of the officials of the An srican government. the Enfernaffsnah 'xposition business practically kzs run it's coarzs.
