WATER RESURVEYi:
FINALLY BURIED

About a year ago it was charged
by number of water consumers
that there was gross inequality in
the rates charged, and j. S. Phil
lips, then councilman from the
Fifth ward and president of the
city council, introduced a resolu-
ton asking that there be resur-
vey of the water system so that the
amount of service received by
every patron could be determined.
After lying in the copious file
box of the finance committee for
the intervening period, the resolu-
ton was ordered permanently pig
eonholed last night, on the motion
of the finance committee.
The city council, on the recon-
mendation of the finance commit
tee, has ordered the reimbursement
of M. H. EgglestOn, former city
treasurer, for STA expended in 60
ing east to float the water and park
bonds year ago last winter.

HOME SWEET HOME
TO EXlLED ESKIMO
MEME, HoMEsICk BOY, WHOM
PEARY BROUGHT TO UNITED
STATES, GIVES HIS LAST IN.
TERviEW BEFORE LEAVING
CIVILIZATION FOREVER.

(Note.-On Saturday, July 10,
Meme, the Eskimo boy, started for
his home in Greenland-the snow
hut village of Etah, the coolest and
most northern habitation for man
in the Peary coal ship Jeanne.
Eighteen years ago, when he was
five years old, he was brought, with
his father and several other Eski-
mos, to this country by Peary. All
except Meme died. Peary did a
thing that brought down on him
the criticism of the entire nation
when he refused to take the boy
back to Greenland with him. Now,
the boy who has longed for home
for so many years is on his way
there. This interview is the last
that Meme will ever give in civiliza-
ton, perhaps, for he has signed a
contract with the ship owners
never to return to America)

\. c. FRANCHISE
WARD MATTER
MILLER
GREAT NORTHERN ATTORNEY
SEEMS TO THINK COUNCIL
WILL GO OVER THE HEADS
OF ITS vIADUCT COMMITTEE
IN THE G. N. FRANCHISE.

Will the city council go over the
heads of it's viaduct committee and
grant the Great Northern the fran
chise ii seeks in the west end of
the city?
Judge Brown. western counsel OF
the road. conveyed that impression
in his talk to the city council last
night in urging that the whole
council or a larger committee and
a different one from that on via
ducts consider the application of
the Hill road.
The viaduct committee had rec
commended that the Great Northern
application for a franchise for its
connecting line with the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle be held up until
the company agreed to bear % per
cent of the cost of the new viaduct
at Washington street The road
agreed to pay $4,000, which is
10 per cent.
The Great Northern matter came
up in connection with request
from L. r. Hamblen, counsel for
the North Coast, that the city coun-
Gil again set a date for the hearing
of the North Coasts application
for a franchise. He said it seemed
to have been hung up pending the
franchise and thought that as there
was no prospect of an immediate
agreement on that point that the
application of the North Coast
should be taken up and disposed of.
At that point, Judge Brown arose
and suggested that the application
of the Great Northern be heard at
the same time, and the city council
at once got busy to arrange con-
venient date for hearing the rail-
road attorneys. Friday night, July
%, was selected, at which time the
council will meet as a committee
of the whole.
Councilman Mohr last night
wanted to refer the Great Northern
application to a committee of one
from each ward, to report at this
meeting, but his motion was voted
down.
Councilman Schiller said there
was no use in appointing such a
committee as councilmen from the
Third and Fourth WARDS. the dis
tricts affected, had already gone
over the ground and saw how the
land lays.
Mr.. Schillr seemed to think the
matter of granting the franchises
largely affected the districts
through which the proposed rail
roads will pass and not the city
at large. He said the Second ward
\ had no interest in the matter, in
referring to the councilman from
that district being placed in such a
committee.
1t is said that the franchise and
street vacations asked for by the
North Coast are worth 100000
yet in the opinion of Mr.. Schiller
it is largely a ward matter, which
he said. that himself and his col
league. Mr. Lambert and Mr.. Dalke
of the Fourth ward had already
gone over and inquired into to
their satisfaction.

BELLIGERENT NOTE
FROM REEDER

A warning was served on the city
council last night that if it entered
upon what is claimed TO be the pri-
vate premises of the Provident
Trust Co. and Charles G. Reeder in
the prosecution of the Highland
avenue grade and sidewalk i'm
proyement near Prospect street dire
things might happen.
Reeder says the city has no inter
est in the ground, that it is private
property and that any effort to in
wade his rights will contested in
the courts. The corporation coun-
sci was asked TO look after the
complaint of Reeder.

DV w. ". OTIEF n Z M
NEW YORK, July 14.-Mene's
last interview in America was
given while he was in a bathing
suit on the shore of Long Island
sound, at the summer camp of his
friend, Chester Beecroft.
Could anybody in the world tell
you more truly the meaning of that
wonderful word home" than this
homeless, alien Eskimo boy?
We talked together, to the words
of that aliens song, Home, Sweet
Home"
Mid pleasures and palaces,
Though we may roam.
Have you been in any very fine
homes here, Mene?" l asked, as he
scratched at the sand, abstractedly
"Oh, yes. Fine ones. Morris X.
Jessup's home was a palace. Mr.
Herbert Wallace's home was fine,
too. Many times l have been at
banquets at the Waldorf-Astoria
and other hotels. I've met lot Of
rich, fine people. I've lived pretty
WELL from your standards. l can't
complain about that.
Ever go to the theaters?"
yes, more than l wanted to-"
Did you have auto rides?"
Sure. l always had chances to
have pleasure that way"
Be it ever so humble,
There's no place like home.
But won't you miss all these
things when you get back there?"
mo. What are such things?
What I want is my home and my
people. That's what I've been long
ing for all these years" He spoke
sharply, as if he thought l couldn't
understand his viewpoint.
will you live in snow hut?"
"Of course. There's nothing else
but snow to build with there. Snow
and a few stones"
ANY pretty girls?''
We'll, maybe you wouldn't call
them pretty"
Amy good beefsteaks, like you
used to eat in the cafes here?"
Il can get along without those,
if l can only get home"
A charm from the skies seems
To halloW us there.
What makes you like it there?"
Because l was born there, | sup.
pose"
But the weather is cold"
"Oh, no. It's fine there a lot of
the time"
But it's night half of the year"
Yes. But moonlight is beauti-
full. l remember it when l was a
kid and my father had told me
about it. You get to love the
moonlight and the long nights.
And the cold?"
Meme stretched himself on the
hot sand in his bathing suit and
said:
MY clothes will be warm"
Which, sought through the world
Is not met with elsewhere.
But all that life is not civilized
Civilized" exclaimed Meme, bit
terly. What is civilization? It's
keeping everything you can get and
getting everything you can. It's
smiling politely, instead of being
generous; it's being pleasant, when
it doesn't cost you anything. It's
just a lot of rules that keep you
from being hurt by people who
want to get things away from you.
1t doesn't make any difference how
you got the things"
But don't you think there may
be civilized countries that are bet
ter than the United tSates?'
NO. I've gone to school and
studied of other countries, and |
think the United States is the best.
I'd rather be in Greenland than
anywhere else in the world
He dug his fist into the sand.
I've met some very kind people

MURDERER HANGED
HIMSELF in JAIL
West Pawlet Hungarian Captured ana
Made a Moose Out Of His
Bed Clothing.

Rutland, March Aloe Nehalick, the
Hungarian who shot and killed Andrew
Stulvatsky, a fellow eountryman, in
Rising 4 Nelson's slate quarry in West
Pawlet Tuesday, was captured yester-
day in Fort Edward, " T., by Constable
A C. Mason Of Paw1et, Just as he was
about to take a south bound train. Ten
minutes after he was locked up in the
village pail at Fort Edward he was
found dead in his cell. hanging by his
neck from the bars in the cell door. He
rad made rope by tearing bed quilt
into strips. After adjusting the moose
about his neck he mounted chair and
kicked it from beneath his feet.
Constable Mason started for Fort
Edward on a train yesterday morning.
leaving Deputy Sheriffs Pascal Ricci Of
this city and A. a. Leonard of Walling-
ford to follow in an automobile. The
Fort Edward police had been watching
Nehalck. although they were not sure
he was the man they wanted. When
tho train stopped at Fort Edward,
Constable Mason at once recognized
Nehaliek and he was quickly taken in
to custody.
The murder was most brutal one
and was apparently committed with
the utmost deliberatioR. Stulvatsky
boarded at Nehalick's house and the
two had q quarrel over some trivial
matter few days ago. Monday being
election ray. there was nobody working
in the quarry but Stulyatsky and John
Hoodick. Eehalick had apparently been
watching thesn from hiding place for
some time. for, when Hoodick went to
the storehouse to get some powder, he
appeared suddenly and fred shot in
to Stulvatsky's heart and another into
his brain. He then efnptied the shells
from his revolver and fed to the woods
before Hoodick, who had heard the
shots, could reach tho scene, Stulvat
XIV died before Hoodiek could summon
aid
StuIvatsky had been in this country
about 10 years and had a family living
in the old country. Both he and Neh-
aliek were about 35 years old.
