was alleged that the payrolls of the
company had been padded, salary re-
ceipts forged and money intended as

misappropriated. Cooke declared that

OIL AND LEAVES

PECULIAR TASTE
Leakage in Standard Pipe Is
Said to Be Running Into
Reservoir.
COMPLAINTS MADE
TO HEALTH BOARD
Thomas Brady, Water inspector,
to Make Exhaustive Inspec-
tion of Sheds.

Complaints have been pouring into
the Board of Health In the last few
days from citizens who wanted to
know what was the matter with the
city water. Most of the complainants
said that the water had an oily look
fishy taste and odor, and had whitish
particles In it,
Health Officer Chandler today had a
conference with Chief Engineer Morris
R. Sherrerd, with the result that
Thomas Brady, the water inspector of
the Board OF Health, will go over the
watershed with the superintendent to-
morrow.
While Chief Engineer Sherrerd is sure
that there is nothing in it except that
the algea is purging in the reservoir
and that new competition has been
made in the city, still it is said that
the water in the lakes has been partly
covered with oil, and that the Standard
Oil Company's pipe above Macopin in
take has been leaking badly.
Engineer Sherrerd pointed out that IL
this was the case the oil which stays
on top of the water would go over the
spillway and would not get through the
intake into the water shed. Inspector
Brady, of the Board Of Health, points
cut that the streams are full Of dry
leaves which. floating on the top, would
absorb the oil and, sinking at the gates,
the oil would strain through.
The water, while having a slight
odor. is absolutely pure and can be
used safely, it is said.
Mr.. Sherrerd says that the trouble is
local one and points out that the only
places the complaints come from are in
the Nailsburg district and toward Belle
VILE, which is on the second level in the
water SYSTEM,
He points out that the reservoir on
South Orange avenue has teen closed
for the winter and a new pipe switches
the water above the South Orange ave-
nue. reservoir into the Vailsburg sec
ton, and this change he believes is due
to the laying of pipe, and will cease to
exist in a few days.
The health officials. while they are
sure the water is not, a menace to
health, are concerned in the matter
and Mr.. Brady will make an exhaustive
report of conditions to the board on
his return.

his fist with such violence that the
nasal organ still suffers.
The blow that DeBaun swore broke
his nose was delivered by the artificial
right arm of Kiesler. Nearly every
witness who saw the blow struck either
testified that 1t was with the right arm

blow that laid DeBaun low. One OF

blow was so terrific that he thought

minutes, he looked so chalk-like."

his 1s-yenr-old son Theodore while the
Ind was protecting his mother from a
brutal attack by his father In their
home, at 30 LfftIeton avenue. ON Octo-
Der 8, died in the city Hospital tcdny.
An autopsy performed by County
Physician Elliott determined the fact
that death was the direct result of
meningitis.
The bullet wounds might not have
been the cause of meningitis" " said DIR.
Elliott; 'the malady which caused death
might have been caused by some nerv-
ous shock
1t was admitted that the result of the
autopsy would have an important bear
ing on holding young Eiler for the re-
sponsibility of his fathers death The
boy is now in custody of the prose-
cutor's office.
The approach of death mitigated the
enmity in which the father was held by
the other members Of the family inn

" before he died he had been restored
to the affections of his wife and chill
dren. He had forgiven his son and
had requested that he be not pros
ecuted.
He had confessed his own fault and
his wife and daughters and the son
who shot him had taken him back into
their affections.
Until near the end Eiler had con-
fidently expected to recover and had
made plans for leaving the hospital.
He had asked several days ago to be
discharged. but the doctors said he had
not sufficiently recovered.
And while he was planning TO return
to his home and had forwarded re-
quest to the prosecutors office that the
charge against his son for shooting him
be dropped his family were prepar-
ing for his return home.
Death Not Expected.
His death today was unexpected. His
wife had called on him last Sunday in
the hospital, and his daughters were
there yesterday. Although immedicte-
ly after the shooting they had bitterly
condemned their father and had praised
Theodore, they had forgiven and had
taken their father back INTO their ar
fections and had assured him Of 4
