WATER POLLUTED
WITH PAPER DYE

DR.. A. Robin, city bacteriologist, has
completed an analysis of the Brandy
wine water which for several days has
ben polluted with some kind of color
ing matter. which has been traced TO
East Downingtown, Pa The analysis
showed that the water contained oxide
of iron or FED ochro.
The coloring of the water is due to
the dumping of refuse of paper mills
located in Pennsylvania. The dye is
used i'm the manufacture Of cheap
grades Of paper and while not in
furious to humanity here, because the
water goes through a natural hltering
process before it reaches this city, the
dye would have the effect of killing
fish further up the stream.
The matter may be taken up with
the Pennsylvania Fish Commission
and also the health authorities of that
state I'm an endeavor TO have the mills
disposed Of their refuse i'm some other
way than dumping it i'm the Brandy

COLLECTORS OF ESTATE.
Appointment Made by Justice Bar
nard, in Probate Court.

nard, in Probate Court.
Justice Barnard, in Probate Court, to-
day appointed Charles A. Douglas and
Brainard w. Parker collectors Of the estate
Of Mrs. Ellen NJ. Cotton, who died in this
city in February, 1905, leaving real estate
and personal property of the estimated
value of $4,000.
The order is based on a petition Of Helen
Margaret Beatrice Sacher, the seven-year-
old granddaughter of Mrs. Cotton, and
daughter of Siegfried Sacher, Partisan
banker, in which she attacks the validity
Of an alleged will made by Mrs. Cotton
shortly before her death. The will devises
$1,000 to the granddaughter and the re-
naming estate to Mrs. Caroline Cotton,
Martin Dahlgren and her two daughters,
Miss Katharine Martin and Mrs. Theo-
dosia Grace
Walter J. Bartlett of San Francisco, CAL,
who was named executor under the will,
it is alleged took the instrument out of
this jurisdiction and filed it for probate in
Santa Cruz, CAL, under the plea that Mrs.
Cotton was, a resident of that place, be-
cause she owned a 5000 villa there.
Miss Sacher, in her petition, asks the
court to require the will to be returned
here for probate and to have the estate ad-
ministered here, because all of the prop
erty except the villa in Santa Cruz was
located in Washington, and because Mrs.
Cotton was resident here at the time of
her death and for twelve years previous.
The collectors are ordered to give a bond
OF $4,000 now, with the understanding that
1t may be increased when sale Of certain
assets Is made.
Attorneys r. Golden Donaldson and
Brainard w. Parker represent the grand
daughter, and Attorney C. H. Syme repre-
sents Mrs. Dahlgren and her daughters.

At the third days session Of the Phila-

African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
at the Galbraith A. NJ. e. Zion Church
yesterday Rev. 8. J. Carrothers took occa-
sion to score President Roosevelt and at
the same time eulogize Senator Foraker in
connection with the Brownsville affair.
The occasion was an answer to the address
Of Bishop George w. Clinton, who urged
that the President be given full credit for
his good Intentions, and not severely criti-
cised for the mistakes he had made.
Every negro should be willing to cast
his vote for Senator Foraker for Presi.
dent" DR.. Carrothers said. ''The colored
people will never forget or forgive Presf-
dent Roosevelt or Secretary Taft for dis
charging without honor innocent colored
soldiers, and the colored voters all over
the country will vote against President
Roosevelt, Secretary Taft or any other
man that President Roosevelt names"
Bishop Clinton dealt with several ques-
tons affecting the colored race, including
better education and clearer insight into
the requisites for good citizenship. He de-
clared that the education Of the negro Is
the most effective agency for the uplifting
Of the race and upon such depended its
future. Pointing out many examples Of
success among the colored people, he said
he took great pride In the fact that his
diced than in former years. The race ques-
ton, the liquor traffic and labor disputes
were discussed.
'of all the problems out Of which has
grown most bitter conflict is the race Ques-
tion," he said. Nov that the Brownsville
case Is in the hands Of competent court
and is being fully Investigated by fair
minded men. we will wait until the COM
mittee has reported to see how the Presi-
dent deals with it before we pass further
judgment on his motives"
The session yesterday was devoted to
the consideration Of various reports sub
mitted by Rev. M. G. Blackjack, Rev. Lo-
gan johnson, DR.. M. B. Franklin and Rev.

located inside the power station. The chem
ical engines were used to extinguish the
blaze Although the dynamo room was fill
ed with heavy smoke, the employees re-
manned at their posts, and the machinery
was not stopped. In that way the current
for light and for elevators in the business
section of the city was supplied, notWltn-
standing trouble in the plant.
Fire was discovered shortly after D
o'clock this morning in a shed in the rear
of 1925 Sd street southeast, owned by Annie
