Reported That City Council
Will Start an Inquiry Into
Water Department Affairs

Much interest was manifested to-day
I'm the statement Of Water Commits
sioner William w. Knox, made at the
session Of the board yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Knox. among other things,
charged that there has been and Is now
an extravagant and unbusinesslilxe
conduct of affairs Of the Water De-
partment At the same time he de-
clared that he has been acting in the
interests Of the taxpayers. and denied
that he has been trying to convert the
department into political machine or
adjunct 20 any machine"
Commissioner Peter j. Ford was alb
sent yesterday when Mr. Knox made
his statement. but II ls likely that at
the next meeting OF the board some
further remarks may be made by some
.of the commissioners on the subject.
The opinion seemed to exist to-day
that the charges OF Commissioner Knox
cannot be swept aside without some
sort OF an inquiry or investigation to
determine whether or not there has
been extravaganza and unbusinesslike
methods, as has been charged.
As a result Of the charges. II was
reported to-day that city Council at It's
meeting on Thursday night may take
some action TO begin a formal invosti-
cation into the affairs OF the Water
Department. and especially into the
phases Of the question brought UP by
Mr.. Knox's assertions.
just what the program will be could
not be learned to-day, but Il was pre-
dicted that some sort Of an investiga
tion will be ordered by Council within
the near future, and probably thi,

Walker and Beck. Walker testified
last wednesday that when he learned
that two men had been seen removing
a cellar window from a house on
Chandler street and entering the build
ing, he went into the cellar after the
men, and when he got them, one OF
them, Porter, became disorderly.
The two young men were originally
charged with breaking and entering,
but this case was dismissed and Porter
was arraigned on the charge Of disor-
derly conduct. on which he was fined
$40 and costs.
Charge Not Pressed
The reason the breaking and enter
ing charge was not pressed was be-
cause the court was informed that Por-
ter, when he went home on Tuesday
night, accompanied by Dunstan. found
the front door locked, so they removed
tho cellar window and crawled into the

X. Jones. at his instigation the senator
said IL was a great pity that Chairman
lAldrich, Of the finance committee. had
not then been conscious Of its value. "a

proposed, would have prevented a dis

for their use" he declared
He denounced national banks for be-

gambling.
The violence Of this recent panic"
