wallace Of Arkansas-he Of ,he snow

wisdom-has done a cruel deed to- the
Congressional Record. To be frank,
he has done three cruel deeds to that
unofIending document. and all on the

Of Arkansas and an apostle OF brevity

He arose on the floor Of the House
yesterday afternoon and caught the
Speakers eye. Incidentally. he drew
tho gaze of his fellow members and
the hundreds in the galleries. The
suspense was something immense. The
observing throng realized that from a
face which looked like the image OF
knowledge nothing light or frivolous
could come. They were right.
MIR. Speaker said the traveller from
Arkansas, 4 come not here to praise
Caesar. but to bury him"
Crowd Seizes Fateful Moment.
Mr.. Wallace paused to clear his
throat, hoping thereby to make 1t con-
form TO the state OF his mind. 1t was
a fatal pause. For right there the graf
ihed crowd got in its applause. They
laughed In gleeful appreciation of the
quotation. IL sounded funny, but :,

to be less responsible by reason Of his being
under the influence OF liquor at the time of the
murder. and he was sentenced to imprisonment

manner in which the murder was committed and

WATER WIZARD ON TINE.
UM Begin Pumping Ten Million
Gallons Daily for City on Jan. 1.

Silas w. Titus, the water wizard. has just IN
formed Commissioner OBrien of the Depart
ment OF Water Supply, Gas and Electricity that
on or about January / he will begin pumping
about 100000 gallons of water day from
his new deep wells in New Utrecht. Mr.. Titus
took charge of rundown plant belonging to
the city Of Jameco, near Massapequa, and by
his air lift system increased the flow of water
from about 100000 to about 100000 gallons
a day.
The city this year made contract with him
to take 20y0O0,000 gallons day from two new
wells in Brooklyn-one in Forest Park. the other
near Bay Ridge. Mr. Titus with his own money
builds the two pumping plants, which at the
end Of five years become the property Of the
city. The city is to pay him $50 million gall
Ions during the life of the contract. This is
about the average cost of water for the Brook
lyn system.
It is Mr.. Titus's theory that under Long ISL
and at depth is an abundance of good water
that has come under Long Island Sound from
the Connecticut watershed He worked on that
theory at the Jameco pumping plant. and found
the quantity OF water anticipated. Some OF
the cityS engineers insist that the Titus deep
wells are taking water away from the shallower
wells and that If the city wants TO obtain its
water by this method 1t ought to do it without
hiring outside help.
