PENNSY USES
CITY WATER
Supply From River Being
BraCki h, Engineer Can
not Use il
eau les FOAM TO
RI-E IN BOILERS

Because the water OF The De aware river
is brackish as Tar as Pm. ade'phia, a most
unusual condition, due 10 the long drought
IN this section. the Pennsy van Raih hoad
Company which expended thousands of
dollars. 10 perfect a water system Of its
own, IS again compelled TO use city water.
The company made tho request that city
water be turned into It's reservoir above
the shenpot creek several days ago IN
tending TO use the city supply but a
short time. The condition Of the Delaware
river water. however. has not improved
ana the railroad Is compe led to continue
the use OF city supply.
Because Of the brackish water much
complaint was made by the enginemen n
tho employ Of the company. The water
would foam in the boilers and steam was
hard 70 make. The trouble became 50 an
noying that the railroad was forced tc
abandon lis river source Of supply and
appeal 10 the city.
The Delaware river Is hardly evei

DENOUNCED WAY
RAID WAS MADE

In City Court this morning Mary E..
Hart, Of No. SO Shipley street, was
fined $50 and costs on a charge Of con-
ducting a disorderly house. There were
same interesting developments during
the hearing, and Judge Cochran de-
nounced the method IN which the place
was raided.
It appeared from the testimony that
the raid was made by Constable
Lucius c. Jones, accompanied by State
Detective Gillis and by James p. Rat
ledge, a private detective. Jones swore
out the warrant at the instance Of per-
sons who desired evidence in a divorce
case, the presumption being that q
man Interested I'm the case was in the
house at the time.
In the house was found a couple who
were detained as witnesses. one OF
the couple testified that Detective Rat
ledge broke open the door of the room
occupied by them, but this was denied
by Ratledge. Judge Cochran advised
the witness TO have Ratledge arrested
on a charge of forcible entry, and said
he would not uphold officers who pro.
ceeded without authority. Ratledg,
was acting as a detective for a woman
who suspected that her husband was
i'm the house. II also was alleged
during the hearing that the house wa'
searched by Constable Jones without
him having a search warrant.
