TO PROSECUTE:
PERSONS WHO
WASTE WATER


Water inspectors are securing
the city gathering evidence to be
used in the prosecution of per-
sons who let their water spigots
run to keep the pipes from freez-
ing up. Cases were found last
night where the spigots were wide
open. Arrests are to be made
and the practice will be stopped.
Some citizens have an idea it is
necessary for the inspectors to get
in the house to see whether the
water is running or not. This is
not the case. They are able to
tell by putting a rod to the shut
off outside. This makes the prac-
tice of letting the water run
risky.
Last night there were many
places on the high service where
all the water was out of the pipes.
1t was utterly impossible to keep
up the water supply. The wells
were doing their best and all the
pumping stations were hard at It,,
but it was no use. The water
famine was acute in the high
places.

TAWNEY HITS
PRESIDENT
(3y United Press Leased Wire

(3y United Press Leased Wire.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 8.-r-
Representative Tawney, of Mime
sofa, who was charged by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for responsibility
for legislation limiting the opera
ton of the governments secret
service, today said:
Nothing can contribute SO
much to the disintegration of a
republic as an attempt by one
branch of a government to i'm
peach the honor and integrity OF
another, no matter how that at
tempted impeachment may be
sought.
'The arbitrary and unauthoriz-
ed use of the great power of any
of the branches of the government
in this respect, if allowed to pass
unchallenged, would go further
toward undermining the conf.
dence of the people than all other
agencies combined.
No disclaimer now, however
strenuous and vehement it may
be, can modify either the mtanine
or the language used by the pres.
ident or the Interpretation of the
same by the people,"
Tawney refrained from calling
names, but he sought to show that
he had been unfairly represented
by the president in his message.

Legislator of that state, with
drawing from the senatorial race
| nopposition. to Gov. George e.
Chamberlain, said:
''No such letter was ever writ
ten. / had never declared myself
in the race. Whatever I have
said has been openly and has been
to eject that l believe that the
republican members of the legisla-
ture should caucus to insure cor
rect representation by the cleo
ton of a republican. The ques-
ton is one of vastly greater I'M
port than any individual interest.
The main point is to see a repub-
lican elected.
at is possible I may have re-
iterated this opinion in private
correspondence and that such ut
terances has been enormously con-
strued as my withdrawal from a
contest into which l have not en-
tered.

go to Orego nand make a fight
l would win. AS a betting propo-
sition, the case stands ten to one
in my favor"

NO CHANGE IN THE
ILLINOIS SITUATION

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. s.
There was not a quorum today in
either branch of the Illinois leg
1slature, where an effort is being
made to Gust Governor Charles
Deneen. who was reelected at the
November election.
There is growing belief that
the chief executive has under con-
sideration plan to delay the con-
venfng of the assembly until after
his inauguration, which is set for
next Monday. Deneen's adherents
have declined to join with the re-
publican-democratic alliance in
the house to canvass the vote cast
at the last election.
AS the situation now stands the
inauguration of the governor can
not take place until a canvass OF
the vote is taken.

CHINAMAN'S CROSS EYES
GET HIM OUT OF PRISON

more than five hours to raise the
money, in spite of the fact that
each and every contributor could
have furnished the entire amount
himself and not missed it much.
Wah Sing is perhaps the most
unpopular Chinaman in the dis
trict, but his word is law among
his fellow countrymen, who fear
him because he is cross-eyed, an
affliction which, according to the
Eastern mind, carries with it the
power to cast the evil eye on all
who offend he of the diagonal
vision.
Fearing that Wah would launch
forth with his evil glances on his
release from Jail should his fine
not be paid, collecting commit
tee was formed to raise the neces
sary amount, which was subscrib
ed mostly in 5 and 10-cent pieces

MYSTERIOUS MAN SPEEDS
THROUGH STREET WITH
QUEER BUNDLE

Rushing up to an express wagon
on Commerce street this afternoon
a clever thief seized sack from
the wagon box, dropped a heavy
object into it, and sped on down
the street. The owner of the
wagon pursued the man, and as
he approached him, the pursued
one dropped the sack in the snow
and disappeared in dark al
leyway.

heavy brass object of globular ap-

piece of tubing fastened to a pipe
in it's end. He took it to the
police station, but no one was able
to tell what it was.
Some said that the thing was a
water meter, others that it was a
waer motor, and still others tina,
it was gas meter.
No one has appeared to claim
the mysterious object.

Horse Gossip.
The middle west is the great horse
producing section of the country but
current high prices are arousing farm
ers in the eastern states to the neces-
sity Of raising their own supply of
horses. The south also is exhibiting in
creased interest In tho horse and mule
industries. For nearly score of years
eastern farmers have depended on the
west for their horse supply. Eastern
cities have also depended on the west
ern breeder for horses by reason of the
eastern farmers having practically
abandoned the horse breedinr industry.
The bulk of the horse breeding in the
New England states for score of
years has been restricted to raising
coach horses and speedy light harness
performers, depending on the western
horses for their horse supply for ag-
| rlcultural use. Horses in the west from
1892 to 1898 were particularly cheap
