STRIKERS WILL STICK.
General Opinion Is In Disagreement
 With Small.

Chicago. October 12,-(Specal.)-Na- tlonal Secretary Wesley C. Russell of the Commercial Photographers union and M J. Reidy, J. NJ Sullivan and s. j. Konenkamp, members of the executive board, were at the operators headquar ters tonight.
 MT Russell said:
 "rhere is no doubt that the telegram is authentic. It has been sent to every local union in the country. The attitude of the president seems to be surprising to the members in Chicago The national organization will wait until the local unions have discussed the matter and acted before they have anything to make public"
 While this statement came from na- tional officials, operators who had flocked to the place and who had made the wires hum in telephonic communications gave the cue that nothing was further from the Chicago operators minds than quit ting the fight
 Long distance wires to Boston. Gin cinnati and other places were put in commission and the result of these talks is said to have been uniform insofar as it pointed to indignation on the part of the strike leaders.
 "The best thing to do is to stick" came the conclusion at midnight
 Whether this hurried attitude is to be reflected by all of the unions in the coun try or not remains for them to decide. It was pointed out by strikers today that Western union stock sold today at G9, the lowest since 1883. It has touched 90, and the drop to the present figures came from 7s. The further insistenee was made that if the operators went back under l the present proposition they would be 1 getting 10 per cent less than they got ! when they left their positions. Others

Atlanta, October 12.-(Special. )-Most people are of the opinion that dying is cheap--that all one has to do is to lie down and pass away from life and from it's troubles.

POTOMAC RIVER WATER PURE
Capt. Cosby Finds Typhoid Not Due
70 This Source.
Thirty Tests Daily for a Year show
Freedom from InfectiOn-Wateh-
ing MIX supply.

According 20 the daily analysis Of Pc
tomac River water made by Capt Spencer
Cosby. L. 5. A, officer in charge OF the
Washington Aqueduct. the recent cpl
demic Of typhoid fever in Washington
is not due to that source.
Daily tests OF Potomac water have been
made by Capt Cosby since the installa-
ton Of the filtration plant little over
year ago. from which he has compiled
a record showing that the water is practi-
cally pure. Three chemists. according 70
Capt. Cosby, are constantly engaged ln
making chemical and meteorological
analyses of the AqUeduct waters the
samples being taken from every filter IN
the plant. from the reservoirs. and at
various points along the line of the main
feed-supply course. From thirty 20 forty
samples are analysed every day. and d
careful record of the results IS kept
so it can be determined instantly, if de-
sired, the condition of the water At any
particular hour or day Of the year.
Surgeon General Wyman, said Capt
Cosby. was among those who doubted
the purity Of the Aqueduct, and upon
invitation he sent meteorological and
chemical chemists 10 the Washington
Aqueduct TO make tests Jointly with ,he
RQueduct chemists The results of
these tests were carefully tabulated by
the experts from the United States Pub

found to be about The same as those of

Anxious to Know It's Position.

Members Of the board of education are
anxious for the settlement Of the Cardozo
case School business is at a practical
standstill awaiting the decision Of the
Equity Court. and the board is unanimous
in its desire for decision as to where ii
stands The whole question of the agita-
ton Of public school affairs In the District
was lucidly summed up by a member of
the board yesterday in the following
words:
Within five years we have had no less
than three different boards Of education,
each Of which seems 10 meet opposition,
and, at the same time. the schools are
acknowledged 10 be admirably managed.
The last board of education was COM
posed Of very excellent men and women,
but were accused of star chamber" pro

subjected to Congressional investigation.

there is no complete responsibility IN a
board That act Of Congress was In
duced by the teachers themselves, who
claimed that reforms were necessary and
the board would not make them. This
law may be regarded as the teachers law
II may be, and probably Is, true that the
board caused heart burnings among few
OF the teachers, which led 20 the
open meetings and the trial before dis
missar parts Of the present law. Judging
from the experience the present board IS
having. 1t seems that trials are impracti-
cable. IL not impossible. That the law is
defective In this respect, we have the
evidence Of no less than three members
of Congress, all on the Committee Of the
District of Columbia. who have intro
duced bills into this Congress making
changes in the school law. and eliminat-
ing the trial clause. These bills are in

did not grant an injunction TO stay the

cause why they should not be restrained

thing, The board. however. did suspend

os course, delay proceedings many months
In the meantime the board Is powerless
to even suspend the respondent from duty.
IF, however. the court should decide
tho law creating the board to be unconsti-
tutional, not likely to occur. there will be
a curious state Of affairs. The board will
be, Of course, at an end The former
board will be legally resurrected, and all
the acts of the present board will be null
and void All the former salaries of
teachers will be reinstated The former
superintendent and assistant superintend-
ent will take their old places. and all the
teachers who have been promoted will
have to 90 back to their former places. 5"
Tomorrow will be a busy day for the
board and other school officials Owing
to the continuance of the hearing Of the

During the debates on the floor Of the

well understood by the Congressman. and
probably by the judges OF The Supreme
Court that there might possibly be some
question as 10 the ConstitutiOnality Of
that court doing the Executive act Of ap-

parallel case exists IN the appointment of
