WATER SURVEY
DEFERRED

recommendations having been
made by the experts in the employ
of the city, LeMasters & Cannon,
that the number Of water consum-
ers and the extent of consumption
by each patron be checked up,
Councilman Jacob Schiller yester-
day tried to secure the support of
the finance committee of the city
council for resurvey of the water
system. Mayor Moore had also
recommended such survey, and
CoeERcilm6n Schiller said he de-
sired to cooperate with the mayor
whenever possible, regardless of
assertions to the contrary. 1t was
shown that survey of this kind
would cost $4,000 and require the
services of 20 men for about six
months.
The matter was finally referred
to the water commissioner for a
recommendation as to the proper
course to pursue Corporation
Council Hamblen was instructed to
proceed against people who are in
arrears for water.

ORPHEUM

A one act drama depicting the
struggles of an overworked opera
tor in his effort to remain at his
post after 70 hours on duty, pre-
scented as part of this weeks bill,
is an effective bit of realism. The
scene is laid in remote point,
where the operator resides with
his family in the station. He is
promised relief, which never
comes, and because of sheer ex-
haustion falls into a deep sleep
while his wife is absent from the
room. On her return she arouses
him with difficulty, only to have
him give an order which will ap-
parently bring two trains together.
Too late to recall it, the operator
discovers his mistake. He seizes
a gun, determined on suicide, but
is persuaded by his wife to stay
the deed until the fatal moment
when the trains are expected to
crash, when they are agreed, ii
the wreck occurs, to die together
Fortunately, one of the trains is
signalled at another point and halt.
ed in time to take a siding before
trouble occurs. Railroad men will
feel that the condition portrayed SO
dramatically Is not drawn from
imagination. Some of the most
deadly wrecks in the history of
railway disasters have been caused
by the collapse of overworked
trainmen or telegraphers. Such
conditions are now in measure
remedied by the new federal law
limiting the hours of employment
in railroad service to 16 per day

Sumptuous simplicity was it's key
note. The wedding dress was cut

The going away dress was semi

with pink, The high wasted bod
ice had a chemiset of lace, a shade
paler than the cloth. It was en-
broidered with floss silk and fin
ished with a deep folded sash of
black satin. A row of pastel gray
tinged buttons was arranged along
the fastenings of the skirt from
waist to hem. With this was a
large black silk 'directoire hat, lined
with velvet and trimmed with a
black ostrich plume.

MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, March 12.-There was inter-
mittent and spotty strength in the STOCK
market today but it was not comparable
to the aggressive sweep in prices which
occurred yesterday. The volume of trad
ing was decidedly diminished also. The
sustaining force of upward movements
in, special stock was taken advantage oI
for caution prcft-taking, which showed
itself on every occasion when an advance
was getting fairly under way. Some of
the factors which We're of use in llftine
prices yesterday had lost some Of their
influence today and there was residue
of damaging effort coming over from the
previous day from some undigested fac.
tors.
One of these was the project of the
President for an investigation by the bu-
reau of corporations of stock trading.
with the announced purpose of finding a
way to rcnalizc marginal operations in
stocks. The members of the Stock ex-
change say that the Stock Exchange it
self had nothing to fear from reveal
ton of its methods. but rather much TO
gain. There is no disposition in stock cir
clos to derry the evils of the bucket shop
type of operations against which. in fact,
Stock Exchange interests have always
W?o"d an inCcSSant warfare.
There is Il feeling. nevertheless, that an
agitation of the subject by means OF a
government investigation would tend to
aggTav1te prejudice against Wall street.
Against this influence in the market Wao
the continued stress laid upon report
that message from the President was
forthcoming shortly which would favor
permission to Tie railroad companies to
advance their freight charges. Northern
Pacific extra dividend rumOrs received
with some show OF force and made Il
rallvin& point against the effects If profit
taking in tho market. Amalaam:.ted Cop
per enjoyed tho advantage Of an advance
in the price Of copper both at the local
Metal Exchange ami in London.
Western Union suffered from its poor
showing Of quarterly earnings ana Della
ware & Hudson from the Injunction

dends. The irregular tendency Of stocks
persisted throughout An upward swing

BASEBALL NOTES

Clark Griffith in a letter to President
Farrell of the New York Americans
says that he was never so confident
of success as az present. GrifT writes
that Chesbro shows every indication of
regaining his old form. While Orth
and Hogg will prove better than be-
fore. The New York manager believes
that he has the fastest all around team
in the American League and that with
q good break in the luck he will be able
to keep pace with the vanguard
the season.
One thing that handicapped the
Giants LIST year was shortage of
versatile performers at various stages
early in the championship race. TIE
team went through important games
badly crippled. but McGraw is figuring
on enough extra men this season %
meet any Ordinary emergency. 1t is
likely that Il staff of seven IT eight
and perhaps nine pitchers will be car
ried and that there will always be two
or more extra infielders and the same

well as three catcherS.
