ROSE MAKES
P0SS|BLES

The public shooting competition at
the new N. G. II. indoor range yester-
day morning and afternoon was a won
derfdl success. So many shootists were
anxious to take part that there was
crowd in front of the building before
the doors were opened. Then the scor-
ers We're kept very busy for several
hours until the expert target breakers
began to get hungry and melt away for
lunch.
The feature of the shooting was the
double possible of Major Rose. His
first target had four clean bullseyes
and one that had just broken the out
side edge of the black circle. The
judges called it a possible but there
was some discussion so, just to show
them it was no fuke, Major Rose shot
again and this time made possible
that looked as though he had merely
put one shot through the center of the
target.
Colonel Jones and his aides worked
indefatigably all day and there was no
hitch of any kind. About one O'Clock
a messenger boy brought in sandwiches
and soda water and the staff took
mouthfuls between additions of scores
and judgments.
The range is just about as modern
and ideal a place of it's kind as could
be imagined. The targets hang from
trolleys which are worked by endless
ropes leading to pulleys on the front
wall of the building. After score is
made the trolley is pulled in and the
target removed, Then clean one is
put in its place and sent back to hang
in front of an iron plate that stops the
bullets.
Five hundred and two scores of five
shots each were recorded and So of
these were shot off in the first hour.
The competition opened at $3.50 a. m.
and closed at 4:S0 p. m. The trolley
system worked to perfection and there
was not single hitch or trouble of
any kind throughout the day.
The following is the official list of
prize winners and scores:

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The Dun and Bradstraet reports on
the condition of trade agree that colder
weather has stimulated the retail de-
mand for seasonable merchandise and
that holiday trade Is making good pro-
gress. although the assortments are
not satisfactory because of the con-
servatism Of dealers: Dun's saws:
- As confidence is steadily gainins
and the number OF unemployed is do.
creasing there is an effort to augment
supplies that necessitates overtime
work by shipping departments. Indus
trial activity is maintained except
where IT is customary to limit opera
tons for inventories at this season
Shoe factories receive much forward

Recent advances in pig iron are held.
although there Is less pressure to pro
vide for the needs Of 1902 while tho
steel industry is almost normal exccp,
for the big railroad contracts that arc
still deferred. Weakness IN raw cot

but woolens are distributed freely and
the raw material IL much higher. Com

Danger Of Lawsuit

Chief Engineer John a. Kienle is max
ing an investigation into the suit pending
In the city of Harrisburg on the matter
of an alleged infringement Of patent rights

letter yesterday which city Solicitor
sylvester d. Townsend sent to the Board
OF Water Commissioners. Mr.. Townsend
mentioned other cities that were likely 10
be sued. namely Louisville, Columbus and
New Orleans and tho Hackensack Water
Company OF New Milford, n. J. This was
brought out in Mr. Townsend's letter be-
cause OF the form OF contract which is
set forth In the printed pamphlets in con-

struetion work.
Mr.. Kienle, in discussing the matter
this morning. said that he understood the
filters used in these cities were Of me-
chanical make. He said that he did not
believe slow sand filter such as Is
proposed for this city. could possibly
come under the head Of any infringement
Of patent rights The cities against which
suits are pending did not use this kind
OF filter. he said. so far as he was able
to ascertain.

PROTECTING THE
WATER SUPPLY
Chief Engineer KienIe Inves-
tieateS About Substance
From Paper Mill

Chief Engineer John A. Kienle made
visit OF inspection this morning to
the Brandywine river IN the vicinity OF
the Augustine Paper Mills and close to
where the south race supplies water
for the city's consumption. The water
in the race has been found TO contain
a substance supposed to come from one
Of the machines Of the mill and the
object of Mr.. Kienles visit was to con-
fer with some Of the officials Of the
mill I'm order that some action might be
taken TO stop the alleged pollution,
which although not Of a dangerous
character, would be a little disagree
able to drink.
The water near the third dam has
been streakcd with a white substance
for several days. Mr. Kienle was
aware OF the matter and as a result Of
his visit It was planned to have the
waste material from the mill turned
into the new sewer at that point so
that in the futuro there Will be no
taint in the river.
Mr.. Klenle conferred with Mr.. Lind
sey, one of the officials of tho paper
company. ANA the matter was thor
oughly discussed Mr.. Lindsey was
willing 10 do al that he could to stop
the trouble. and said there would be
no further material from tho mill run
ming into the water as soon as work
mon could arrange to connect the lAill
outlet with the new sewer.
This sewer, which was recently COM
pleted, but which had not been fully
put into commission because Of some
minor nxlngs that had to be done. Will
I.
pollution from any source whatsoever
Mr. Kienlo said this morning that the
substance which was found In the
water probably came from ono OF the
machines when II had been shut down
The substance, he said, was not dan
gerous. but II gave a disagreeable sight
10 the water and would probably not
be very sweet to the taste
Were there any complaints made
regarding it7' he was asked.
NO We have not had any COM
plants. But the Water Department Is
taking every care to have the water as
clean and pure as possible" said Mr.
Kienle, "and although there might have
been no knowledge Of this matter come
TO the attention OF residents using the
water. unless they could have gone Ia
the river at that point and seen the
discolorations, we feel that the matter
should be cleared up and the water
kept as clean as it is possible to have
H. The department has always been
on the lookout for just these little
troubles and means 10 have as good a
supply as can be got"
As the water was low this morning
better sight OF the waste material
was obtained. Within a few days
however. It is practically certain that
the whole matter viii be arranged and
the unsightly condition Of the water
eradicated. The new sewer will take
care Of the waste not only from the one
min mentioned, but from the Others
situated along the river.

ARE OPPOSED
TO FREE HIDES
Cattle Raisers' Representa-.
tiVes Before the Ways and
Means Committee
CONSUMER WOULD NOT
BE BENEFITED, HE SAYS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 5.-Demands
for free hides have been loud and fire.
quent at the hearings OF the WAYS and
Means Committee.
The other side was presented to-day
by Judge S. II. Cowan, Of Fort Worth.
Texas, who represented the Cattle
Raisers' Association Of Texas, and the
American National Live Stock Associa-
tion. He declared that the arguments
Of the free hide advocates st the
price Of hides has no effect on the price
Of cattle, was absurd.
IF the political platform Of any
party" he said, had declared for free
hides. that party would now be several
congressman shy in the Vest. We
want equality before the law. If Ihe
protective system Is proper. we are en-
titled 20 our share Of the benefits" He
doubted the claims made by New Eng
land manufacturers that the prices Of
shoes would be considered If hides and
leather were placed on the free list.
Judge Cowan stated that he was not
familiar with the shoe business. but he
hoped the committee would make a
careful investigation before accepting
any statement that free hides would be
Of benefit 20 the consumer.
Chairman Payne said that if the tar
iff on hides conferred a benefit on the
cattle raiser he wished to have the fact
clearly shown.
The Beef Trust
In answer to a question whether
there was a beef trust, Judge Cowan
said that the big Chicago packers acted
as a trust when they could and were
not a trust when they could not be
He said chat when the supply of cattle
was large the buyers controlled the
prices, but when the supply was small
the sellers were in control.
He was unable TO answer a question
by Champ Clark. who wanted to know
whether the meat packers did not con-
troll the hide supply by having agents
purchase them throughout the country
Congressman BouteIl then read let
ter from Charles II. Jones, a Boston
manufacturer saying that free hides
and leather would reduce the price OF
shoes now selling at 50 and $3.50, %
cents a pair with free hides, leather
and shoes, Jones said. the reduction
would be so cents a pair
