The advantage of this system would
be that no water would be stored in
any of the reservoirs in excess of two
to five million gallons, the reservoirs
you'd be covered and fenced and would
Te secure from intrusion and eontami-
nation. The present daily supply under
normal conditions is approximately
I3,OOO.nOU gallons, and with the pro-
posed artesiau system a gain of about
100000 gallons daily.
This contemplated supply would give
rs Il daily average of 500 gallons per
capita consumption. The maximum con
sumption per capita in any city of the
United states Is one-sixth to one
twelfth a much, and in large Euro.
pean cities IL Is a. low rs thirty gal
Ions per capita. OF course, our condi-
tions are materially different. as we
use large quantities for irrigation pur.

filtration plant and the system above
outlined, Mr.. Campbell stated that ia

states that we should have 100000

count on only 100000 gallons from
the eleetrieally-driven pump system.

Conclusion.

In weighing the relative advantages
of the filtration and artesian systems,
it would seem that the artesian system
would be the most feasible when You
take into consideration the original
cost, expense of operating and the les
ser danger of contamination in COM
parison to filtered water where the fl
tiers themselves may become foul
through neglect. | believe the city of
Honolulu has a great future before it,
and no single factor viii have greater
weight with a person who wishes to
become a resident than the assurance
of an abundant supply of pure aid
wholesome water. / believe it is the
duty Of each and every medical man
to take a firm stand in this important
matter and while it may seem that we
are unselfshly cutting our own
throats' professionally by advising
TO cut down disease, we are
really advancing our interests by au.
vising methods which if carried out |
win have tendency to increase our
population many fold and thus bring
in many directions.

 VenezueId11 Reports
President Of the Republic Talks Composedy Of the Rumors Of Revolution In His Country and Affects Not To Believe the Statements Reports Are Confirmed In the Latest
 News From Venezuela

Berlin, December 16.-President Castro of Venezeula maintains his composure in the face of alarming reports which have turbances in Venezuela. When dispatches were shown to him today that the people of Caracas had arisen against him, burned the pictures and statues of the President in the public squares and had made an attack upon a number of buildings ir- cluding the stores of several of his warm est adherents, and that several persons had been killed, Castro after having one of the members of his party make a translation of these into Spanish, said quietly:
 T don't believe it. I had dispatches from Caracas this morning, but they mentioned nothing of the kind"
 President Castro was asked for an ex- pression of his views regarding Hollands seizure of Venezuelan ships, but he an swered, T am iE Germany in private capacity"
 He referred the correspondent to Senor Velez Goiticoa, the Venezuelan charge d. affaires, whom he authorized to talk for him. The charge then made the fol- lowing statement:
 'In reply to your question l doubt what has been published in regard to Hollands aggression because no declaration of war has been made, nor has blockade been announced and none established There fore the seizure of small Venezuelan ves- sels by sheer force cannot be described other than as an act of piracy, unworthy any civilized country.

 Mr. Burtc1 had been mentioned as the probable Seci etary of the Treasury in MT. Taft's cabinet, and 1t is said that the portfolio had been definitely offered to him.
 The statement followed the conference of Mr. Taft with several republican lead CTS from Ohio during the day. MT. Bur ton, it is believed, will now make an ac- tive contest ir the Ohio senatorial cam palgn.
 MT. Taft held the most important polit- teal conference of his stay in New York, when, late today, he met five of the re- publican state leaders of Ohio and dis cussed with them the affairs of the state.
 Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati was also present and when he was asked tonight as to what bearing, if any, the confer ence may have upon his candidacy for the Senate to succeed Senator Joseph B. For aker, he replied:
 q am going to win. Everything is flaw orable"
 The President-elect's brother was ap- parently more than satisfied with the days developments and was fairly buD- bling over with good humor. As to the leaders who attended the conference the senatorial cs ndidate said:

 "TIe is a most important witness for us,' said Lawyer Mcintyre tonight, flor through him we woud have shown that he struck Captain Hains after the shooting with boat hook, or oar and that to protect his brother, Thornton HaIns, drew his revolver.
 The cross-exa imitation of Andrews consumed the major portion of the aft ernoon session and Lawyer Mcintyre sought to develop that Thornton Hains had used expressions after the shoot ing to the effect that he had tried to dissuade Captain Hains from his act, and that he would hold him until the uftcors came.
 Special Prosecutor White declared in the opening of the states case that evidence would he brought out to show that Thornton Hains had full knowl- edge of his brothers intention to kill Annis and virtually led the way to the yacht club and directed the search for the publisher.

Paris. December 16.-The last day of the hearing of the suit brought by Count Boni DeCastellane against his former wife. the Princess DeSagan, nee Gould. in which he petitions the court to award the custody of his three children to his mother, the Marquise DeCastellane, brought out the fact that the count had decided upon sudden change in front in that he withdrew his demand that the court allow him a yearly income of $6o,0Oo year for the maintenance of the children.
 M. Bonnet, speaking for the count read to the court letter from his client filled with indignation that he should have been charged with initia- ting the proceedings to obtain money and in which the count abandoned his claim for the allowance above men tioned. He insisted that his only ob- ject in wanting the children removed from the DeSagan household was his solicitude for their moral and physi- cal welfare.
 It Is evident that the count has recognized that his claim for this enormous allowance has injured his case in the eyes of the court, and in the estimation of the public, and his tardy renunciation is considered a clever move to enlist sympathy in his favor. Nevertheless, the public is greatly astonished that the count should go to such an extreme in or der possibly to win verdict over his former wife.

with allegations from both sides, but developed little that was new.
 The public prosecutor will present his conclusions next week, and the court will then render It's decision.
 Speaking for the Princess DeSagan, M. Clemenceau characterized DeCastel- lanes change of attitude on the money question as gallery play" induced by his tardy appreciation of the unpre- cedented character of his demand for an allowance of s60.0o0 a year and the severity with which the public had condemned and ridiculed the count. Touch ing the counts statement that he renounced this claim. with pleas ure" the lawyer asked, If the count took such pleasure in renouncing this demand, why did he ever formulate it?"
 M. Clemenceau justified the interven- tion of George Gould on the ground or his sisters interests and said he could not understand why MT. Gould was the object of such violent attacks. He de- nounced DeCastellane's conduct during the period of his marriage in unmeas- ured terms. The count. he said. should have been irreproachable in order to avoid the insinuation that he had mar ried Miss Gould for her money. The lawyer then reminded the court that the real battle was between two men, Count DeCastellane and Prince Helie DeSagan, who hated each other. M Clemenceau then took up and discussed in their order the various allegations made by the plaintiff. In conclusion NJ. Clemenceau said that the Princess DeSagan had not forfeited any of the confidence reposed in her when the court gave her the custody of her three children, and he asked the court to maintain his client in her rights.

Washington, December 16-Through American Consul Cheney, at Curacao, the state department today received its first officially information of the stirring events in Caracas Monday. It was very brief. giving few details, and confirming in part the Associated Press dispatches of the happenings in that city It is saie that Caracas seemed to be on the verge of revolution and that attempts had been made to burn President Castro's resi- dence. The dispatch spoke of the attack on the office of El Constitutcional where several persons were killed and property destroyed. An impression was conveyed that students were leading the rioters. MT. Cheney telegraphed that his advices came from Johnson, which probably means James w. Johnson, consul at Puerto Cabello.

ezuela has proclaimed to Holland, through confidential agents, and could even have a worse effect inasmuch as Venezuela. in meeting payments due to Holland, takes for that purpose a portion of the prescribed 30 per cent of the customs receipts. Thus, Hollands act might place Venezuela in a position of being unable to continue payment, which also would jeopardize the interests of other nations. Holland Is in the wrong in the diff culty between that country and Venezu- ella, and she is still more involved through the attitude which the Dutch government recently has had.
