They uttered deadful oaths and. fail

lence, are in the city, and are cared
for by charitable people Many are

several families to sleep over his shop.
This morning there were two women
and six children making their home

work, and in short time will be able
to take care of the families.

About two years ago Mr.. Wells

REMAIN
ON FIRST STREET
BY SUFFERANCE

The tracks OF the Illinois Central
railroad on South First street, which
have caused trouble to the city and
property owners will remain, al
though the railroad through It's coun-
sci. Mr.. Henry Hughes, agrees To
waive all rights except those stated In
the original right of way. This morn
ing a meeting of the joint street COM
mittee was called to meet with Mr. A.
II. Egan, superintendent of the Louis

CITY WATER PLANT
GRAFT IN CHICAGO
COSTS $9,5OO,000

Chicago. March 31.-Superintend-
|ent McCourt, of the water bureau,
completed his report containing esti-
mates on the amount lost to the city
through the scandals in the bureau.
lie figured it at a total of $9,500,0 900
In ten years.
OF this sum $5,O00,000 was lost
through theft of water by the manipu-
lation of water meters and false read
ings of them by city employees, he
says. Another $4,000, 900 represents
the loss from the failure to make the
water rate assessments annually, as
was provided for by law. The sum OF
81. 10000 is estimated as what the
city has lost by the thefts of the men
in the water bureau, the waste of ma,
terial by them and the earelessness of
the officials who we're in charge of the
bureau.
Charges against fifteen more en-
ployes in the water bureau are in
sight as the result of further investi-
cations that have been made by
Superintendent MoCourt.
The rate takers are accused of hav-
ing practically enabled. several large
corporations to escape paying taxes
on nine tenths of the water used.
The system they employed was dis
covered first in connection with the
inspection of a meter in the plant OF a
big brewery. IL is claimed that tbs
rate takers simply dropped on the
last figures, making the bill of The
company read for tens of thousands OF
gallons when 1t should have read FOL
hundreds of thousands.

Government Proposes to Take The
Conceit Out of President Castro
of Venezuela by Force, fNeed Be.
Embargo to be Placed on Prin
cipal Export, Coffee, and on
Asphalt-TOwer's Resigna
ton Accepted,

Washington. March 31.-Congress
has outlined a plan to make Castro
behave. and induce him to arbitrate
the American claims. 1t is planned
TO put prohibitive rates of duty on
Venezuelan coffee, so per cent of
which comes here and which consti-
|tutes half of VeneZuela's exports; to
prohibit the importation of asphalt
and give the president power to use
such other means as he may see fit
with the ure of an armed force as the
last resort. Republican and Demo-
cratic senators feel that Castroyshould
have the conceit taken from him.
Secretary of state Root transmitted
TO congress, relating to the United
States claims against Venezuela, re-
port of Special Commissioner Cal
houn, charging that Castro. after dis
possessing the New York and Bermu-
da company of its lands, seized its
property and without right or legal
warrant, and continued to work the
asphalt lands for his own benefit. He
holds Castro's claim of ten million
damages against the company was
made without sufficient evidence of
the existence of facts upon which the
assessment is based. Calhoun calls
the fine farce not justified by law
or common sense.
Tn state deDartmeut saws. aft an
pears the time has come for language
stronger than that employed in re-
quest on demand should be made for
Venezuela to settle the five claims
against it. If this is refused prompt
and vigorogs,action should be taken. -
