PITOMETER REDUCES
CITY'S WATER WASTE
Instrument Detects and Stops Leaks of More Than
100000 Gallons Daily-Saves District
$4,000 in Year.

An annual saving to the District OF
$500 is effected by the discovery Of
leaks IN the service pipes and water
mains. according 10 a report Of Paul
Lanham. pitometer operator, submitted
TO ". +. Mcfarland. superintendent Of
the water department. today
The total waste found and prevented
during the fiscal year ended June so,
amounted 10 9560s35 gallons a day. A
conservative estimate places the cost
of the water TO the District at ] cent a
gallon, which represents a saving Of S95
q day. or approximately &25.O00 wear.
These figures do not include the saving
which has resulted from calling the at
tentlon of house owners to ieaky house
and yard fixtures. but the amount OF
waste prevented thereby is believed TO
be large.

THREE HUNDRED DIE
BY RULERS ORDER
Spanish Refugees Tell Tales
of Torture of the ReVo-
lutioniStS.

PERPIGNAN, France, Aug. 1s.-Span-
ish refugees who arrived here today
after having been released from the
Mont Juich fortress in Barcelona. deny
the official statement issued from Mad
rid yesterday that the execution of
those taking leading part in the re-
cent revolutionary uprising did not be-
gin until yesterday.
They say that the authorities at Bar
ceiona have been executing prisoners
since August ], and that fully 800 have
been shot IN the last two weeks.
The firing squads frequently killed as
many as four groups of prisoners a
day, according TO the refugees. The
executions are now decreasing merely
because most of the prisoners have
either been killed or released. In many
cases, the refugees say, the prisoners
were terribly tortured In an effort TO
get information concerning some of the
suspected leaders.
