Today's investigation by Mayor VIII
son into the affairs of the Water De-
partment was the spiciest session yet
held. 1t was tart from beginning to
end A militant air seemed to hang
over the room Of the Water Commits
sioners in which the inquiry is being
conducted, and there were several in
teresting clashes. Spirited words were
exchanged many times, and the spec
tators, of who mthere were more than
at any previous session, had an in
teresting time.
Not only did Mayor Wilson and Will
liam +. Kurtz, as counsel for CHEZ
Engineer Leisen, have a verbal clash.
but President Benjamin +. Shaw of
the Water Board persistently de-
clined to answer many questions, while
to other questions asked as to de-
tails of the water department his an
swer was jotted down in the steno
graphic record in these words, 'I don't
know" After Mr.. Shaw finished h
testimony and Water Commissioner
Knox was called Mr.. Shaw suggested
that the same questions be asked OF
Mr. Knox This brought Mayor VIII
son to his feet wit hthe hot rejoinder
that he didn't want Mr.. Shaw to in
terrupt the investigation.
Mr. Kurtz sat quietly through the
greater part of the question of Chief
Engineer Leisen, but when City Solic-
itor Townsend, in discussing the fiat
and meter rates for the department and
the necessity for having the figures
rates sufficient to meet all expenses
inquired as to what Mr.. Leisen thought
they would be in s910.
Wouldn't that question properly be
put to the Water Commissioners" ask
ed Mr.. Kurtz, rising Mayor Wilson
remarked that Mr.. Kurtz would be ex-
cused from asking questions.
But I represent Mr.. Leisen?" ex-
planned Mr.. Kurtz.
GO ahead" said Mayor Wilson
turning to City Solicitor Townsend
intending for him to continue ques-
tioning.
'Well. Mr. Mayor" insisted Nj
Kurtz. but the Mayor interrupted.
''This investigation viii go on" said
the Mayor with some spirit. 1T is
being conducted by the Mayor and a
committee from Council and I will
brook no interference"
IT want to protest" said Mr.. Kurtz
This responsibility for rates rests on
the Water Commission. 1t seems
absurd to ask him what the Water
Commission viii do in 1910"
Mr.. Kutz sat down, and Mr.. Towns
end asked what the water rate would
have to be to take care of S12000C
operating expenses and $253,000 addi-
tional expenses.
1T would have to be increased" re-
piled Ny Leisen
At the outset Mr.. Townsend asked
Mr.. Leisen if he was prepared to
answer the question asked on April p
as to why the payroll expense charged

to distribution increased from SIS, ,602.92
in 1903 to sS4,145.79 in 1904, and why the
lattice basis had prevailed since then.
Mr.. Leisen said he was ready and gave
the following answer:
Mr.. Leisen Explains.
"The following are some of the rea-
sons why the items for labor on dis
tribution and extension We're so much
greater in 1904, the first full year Of
my administration, than they were in
1903:
IN July. 1903. the time of the men
was reduced from nine hours to eight
hours, thereby increasing the wages
from 16 2-3 to IS ga cents per hour,
equivalent to an increase of IL 1-2
per cent. This condition prevailed for
six months in 1908, and for the fun
twelve months Of 1904, so that a COM
parison of the two years would show
6 IA per cent. additional cost for the
same work in 1904. which on an ex-
penditure of s51,S53.S9 is over $4,000.
IN May, 1904, the rate Of wages for
the laborers was increased from is 3-4
cents to 20 cents per hour, making a
further increase in the cost Of labor
Of 6 2-3 per cent, equivalent on an ex-
lpenditure of S51,s53.Ss. is over $4,000.
1.-THE cost of the creek crossing at
West street, including rock excavation
land construction of concrete dam in
casing the 16-inch and 24-inch high
and low pressure mains and including
also the construction Of the gate cham
Der on the south side, all of which was
an extraordinary expenditure, amount
ed to Ss,512.
TN 1908 there were but 1854 feet IF
4-inch, 6-inch and S-inch mains laid
where there was any rock excavation,
whereas in 1904 there were S496 feet
of 4-inch, S-inch, 16-inch and 24-inch
mains laid where there was rock ex-
cavation, and in most cases the rock
work was very heavy. Deducting the
rock on the creek crossing the COM
parison for rock work is 1854 for 1903
as against 5S42 for 1904, or a difference
of S1SS feet, which at a conservative
estimate Of 81 per foot, amounts to
Ss,1ss.
IAN arrangement for a constant fire
lhydrant inspection at the request OF
the chief of the Fire Department was
linaugurated in 1904. work on the new
Wharf property was carried on
throughout 1904, and the road through
Cool Spring Park was macadamized In
1904, all of the above being charged t'
distribution. and amounting 70 abou
81, 800.
During 1904 there were over 100I
feet of mains lowered without beins
replaced this lowering heing necessi-
tated by the fact that they were origi-
nally laid too shallow, and about SOC
feet of this work was in solid rock
This was charged to distribution, but
does not figure in the statement Of new
or replaced mains. This. likewise, en-
tailed considerable work in lowering

SCATTERING BALES
OF COTTON SOLD

Only a few bales of cotton were dis
posed of in the local spot market yes
terday, the price being around 10
cents for good middling. Offerings
were almost nothing and the good
grades were quickly taken. Quota
lions are unchanged.
A slight recession occurred in
the futures markets in the near
months, while the net gains for the
new crop positions were II to Is
points. The opening was at small
advance all round. At New York
values during the morning made sub
stantial gains on the first figures, but
the markets were easirer in the af-
ternon, the new positions reaching a
level around the close for Thursday.
But at the very Hast prices advanced
sharply until considerable net gains
were made. Liverpool advanced s to
10 points over the opening, closing
strong. Spot sales of 10000 bales was

GOWNS TOO CRUDE
EVEN FOR PARIS

PARIS, May 15.-Efforts of the mod

day at the Lonschamps races course.
Four young women bonner the so
called sheath gowns and entered
the members enclosure, where new
styles frequently have been adver-
tised in like manner.
Some onlookers rubbed their eyes
and stared, others blinked and turned
away, while some men laughed and
jeered The gowns were too classic,
too tight fitting, and too transparent
even for Parisians. The most start
ling had a skirt divided on one side
nearly to the knee.
The excitement became so great
that the police ordered the young wo-
men to leave. There was even talk
of summonses, hut Director Tommy,
