FORT TO TAKE UP
WATER GRAB FIGHT
NEXT TUESDAY
Mayors of Newark and Jersey
City Officially Notified Of
Important Conference.

Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn, OF Jersey
City, at noon today notified by tele-
phone Mayor Haussling that he had
received a letter from Governor Fort
inviting the mayors of Newark and
Jersey City to a conference on Tues
day on the proposition of calling a
special session of the Legislature to
curb the East Jersey Water Company
In its plan for the diversion Of State
waters to Staten Island.
Mayor Haussling said that he would
meet Mayor Wittpenn on Tuesday and
go to Trenton. The mayors will be ac-
companed by the respective counsel of
both cities; that is to say City Counsel
James r. Nugent will represent New
ark and Corporation Counsel Warren
Dixon will represent Jersey City.
1t Is possible that other members o.
the city governments of both cities ma,
make the trip to Trenton. Meanwhile
members of the Jersey city and New
ark Boards OF Trade have issued calls
for special meetings to register their
protest against the diversion OF State
waters. While Governor Fort has de-
clared that ne is against the diversion
of State waters, he has not declared for
special session of the Legislature
In his statements he opines that the
present laws are adequate. On the other
hand, the opinion of good counsel is
that the Bachelor law is not far reach
ing enough, and that the only sure way
of killing off the monopoly in Its at
tempt at diversion of State waters il a
special act.

PsorIa,s skyserapsr BEGUN

Peoria, ILL.,, April 1.-The work of
laying the foundation and placing the
steel for the new Jefferson building
will begin today" declared AL. Leisy
yesterday, land when once commenced
will go up with rapidity that will
make the average Peoria contractor
gasp for breath. When once the steel
is placed for the twelfth story--yes,
the building is going to be twelve
stories high-then work will be start
ed at the top and the building finished
from the top down.
There has been a great deal of
knocking on the new Jefferson build
ing owing to the fact that there has
been no work going IN at the site
heretofore. The fact is the excava-
tors concluded their work thirty DAYS
ahead of time and the remaining con-
tractors were not prepared to go
ahead with the work. In conclusion
I would say that the original pro-
motors of the building will complete
its erection and will thereafter have

1.-THE concern which will build this
structure" concluded AL. Leisy, "is now
at work on four million job at San
Antonio, Texas. They have other
work besides this Peoria job. A twelve
story block is rather a small affair
for them and they will not waste any
time around here when they once
start the work"

KILLS HIMSELF
WITH SHOTGUN
WEALTHY WASHINGTON REAL
ESTATE BROKER FOUND DEAD
IN THE ATTIC or HIS
HOME,

Washington, April Henry A.
Griswold, former president Of the Ana
costa & Potomac railroad, now q part
OF the Washington Electric & Power
Co, killed himself with a shot gun
here today.
He was wealthy real estate broker
and belonged to a prominent family st
Weathersfield, Conn.
Griswold's body was discovered in
an attic room of the family home with
a load Of buckshot in his heart. Be-
side him on the floor lay a double
barreled shotgun and FIRE poker.
The police were at first loath to
accept the theory OF suicide. though
the coroner after investigating. gave
certificate to that effect.
Griswold, 1t appeared, had planned
his death with great delfberation.
While his wife was on a shopping trip
he went to the attic room and, placing
the gun against a box, pointed the
barre against his breast using the
poker to push the trigger. GrlswoId

AppeaI from Freiaht Rats..

Atlanta, Ca, ApriI The appeal
from the increase in interstate freight
rates made by the railroads leading
from middle western to south Atlantic
points about a year ago will be argued
before the interstate commerce COM
mission beginning today.
The increases affect classes B. d.
and F, in the main heavy grain and
food products. Complaint was made
by the Macon Grocery Co., the A. p,
Morgan Grain Co., of Atlanta, and the
state railroad commissions OF Alabama
and Georgia.
Members of the commission came to
Georgia several months ago and heard
testimony anent these advances. Time
would not permit arguments. which
have to be made before the full COM
anyway.
The complaining business firms. who
were represented by Winlbush, Wat
kins & Ellis, of Atlanta, and the rail-
road commissions Will be represented
at the concluding hearing.
1t is unlikely that the matter will
be decided within several months.

the greatest good for the government,

in Denver today on his way east, said
in an informal talk at the chamber of
