dent, on his way from Madison to this
city. gave out for publication his reply

tration and in spite of the speech made
in Oklahoma by Mr.. Taft"
Mr. Bryan charges among other things
that the Steel Trust. with your- express
consent" purchased one Of its largest
rivals and thus obtained control Of more
than 50 per cent. of the total output. He
asks the President IL he will insist that
i'm permitting this you showed less favor
to the monopolistic corporations than I
do in opposing it."

REPORT ON WATER
CLEANING DEVICE
Engineer Tells Of Water Com,
miSSiOnerS' Inspection
at New York

Chief Engineer Kienie, az tho weekly
meeting of the Board Of Water Commits
sioners this morning. made a report OF
the commissioners recent visit to New
York TO inspect filter cleaning device.
which It Is said would largely increase
the filter capacity Of tho works here if
adopted
The machine consists OF an inverted
box with operating apparatus attached.
Tho box is sunk under the water OF tho
filter TO the sand surface and held In
position and operated from crane plat
form. The box contains W revolving
hollow spoked wheel from which hollow
teeth project into tho sand any desired
distance These teoth may be made to
revolve slowly and stir the sand while
water passes through the hollow parts
OF the teeth and passes IN i've strong
streams into the sand through the holes
IN the teeth A suction pump connected
with tho top OF the box is made to draw
OF a little more water than Is supplied
through the teeth. and this II discharges
TO sewer connections all the dirt that has
been stirred and wash from the sand.
The commissioners approve OF the de-
vice and one may be installed here.
Speaking OF the device as II appealed
20 the commissioners, the report said;
1T was learned that the effect OF the
use Of this washing machine upon ultra
ton was: First, that Il permits Of rat'
Of ftration OF az least 10oo00O0 gallon
iiar aore per day.
Second. that the nrst cost OF construc
ton OF the plant could be reduced by a
least 25 per cent.
Third the maintenance and operating
costs would not exceed 81 per miillol
gallons.
Fourth. that the bacterial efficiency
with the ten million rate was as good az
those obtained in any other slow sand
plant where rates have been three mil
lions gallons.
"And finally. that slow sand filtration
with the use OF this machine has beer
adopted by the city OF New York.
'1n this connection Il might be inter.
esting 70 note that the decision 20 in.
stall a slow sand filter was reached after
a very thorough investigation Of the me
chanical hlter, Il being found that with
the Crotan river water slow sand ultra
tration was more practical and NOR,
economical together with enlciencies thai
were dependable. These deductions would
apply with equal force TO the conditions
obtained In our own city.
Il would further state that the con
versations we had with eminent engi
neers both at the convention of the New
England Water Works, at Atlantic City
and at the Engineers Club at New Yorl
gave us additional assurance that thu
system we have planned is more ein
cient and cheaper than any other W.
could adopt"

PRESIDENT AGAIN
ASSAILS BRYAN

WASHINGTON. Sent 2s.-President
Roosevelt last night gave out state
ment inAeply 10 w. J. Bryan I'm which
he answers a number OF statements
ma1c hit tnc Democratic candidate IN
a letter printed today.
Referring to Bryans declaration that
the Democratic platform declares in
favor OF a vigorous enforcement OF
law against the guilty trust magnates
while that upon which Taft stands
makes no such declaration. Mr. Roose-
Welt says il was not neces tiry for the
Republican platform TO do so. as IL
approved the policies OF the present
administration and promised 10 con-
tinue them. He contrasts Bryan's
words with the deeds of the admins
tration In regard TO combinations OF
capital and also compares the record
Of the administration with the work Of
Mr Olney. attorney general under
Cleveland. Mr.. Roosevelt recites a
number Of cases against trusts prose-
cuted by his administration, while Oh
ney. who now supports Bryan. prose-
cuted only cases OF combinations Of
workingmen.
Mr.. Roosevelt says 40 indictments for
his administration with Is convictions.
while under the last Democratic ad-
ministration there were no indictments
Of shippers for receiving secret re-
bates
~-ferring to Bryan's charge that the
steel company with Mr. Roosevelts
express consent, purchased one OF its
largest rivals. The President says the
steel company entered into this trans
action with his cognizance at the ur-
gent request Of the corporation pur-
chased and by big banks holding that
corporations securities. Referring Ia
his course toward capitalists and cor
porations the President says:
Il treat each man and each corpora
tion with a view solely 10 whether he
or it is acting rightly on a given occa-
sion. Let me give you an example:
have proceeded against corporations
of which Mr. T.. II. Hartman is tn,
head on certain points where / believe
they have violated the law. But wher
in connection with the breaking of tn,
Alton sea dam. one OF the Hartman
corporations repaired the dam. ! last
winter did everything I could to have
Congress reimburse Hartman for as
much of the obligation as 7 felt ought
to come upon the United States"
Referring TO contributions to Cover
nor Hughes campaign by capitalists
the President compares the same Will
contributions of the silver men {,
Bryan's campaign and says that wher
men subscribe 10 a National campaign
for the purpose of securing the ma.
tional welfare with no thought Of per.
sonal favors their action is entirely
proper.
