COMMISSIONER DAWSON IS

Commissioner OF water and sewers
ID. H. Dawson, didn't realize that
when he was selected for the po-
sition he now occupies that ini ad-
dition to having the burden and re-
sponsibilty of furnishing the city
pure water, that he would also shine
as the "champeen" water drinker of
the southwest. But even in city ad-
ministrations there is honor and glo.
ry enough to go all round
Mr. Dawsons friends were hunting
for him this morning to find out
how IL feels 10 drink a million gal
Ions of water all at one sitting and
to realize no bad effects. The afore-
said friends declared that they did
not know he was such a hard drink
or, nor did they believe that even
his intense interest in Ardmore wa.
such record breaking water drink
ing stunts as a morning paper gives
him credit with saying he did. Mr..
Dawson is quoted as saying, u
tried an experiment at home by
using at least twenty pounds of blue
stone to the million gallons of wa.
ter drank 1t down and did not feel
any bad results"
Said one man: Wouldn't It be an
awful thing If Dawson would get
an awful thirst during these hot
summer days? What in the name
of goodness would we all do fol

MINERS DEMANDS
REJECTED, THEY
CONFER AGAIN
Operators Offer Old Pact With
March 81 Time Limit-Men
Much Depressed.

PHILADELPHIA, March 12.-rhe
subcommittee Of the anthracite mine
workers and operators will hold an
other meeting this afternoon ana en-
ideayor to reach an agreement Id 20
INTO effect at the expiration of the
present working arrangement betyeen
the men and their employers. The nat
refusal of the operators to make. any
concessions has greatly depressed the
representatives Of the men.
Asked if he will make any other prep-
osition to the operators in view Of the
rejection of the demands yesterday.
President Lewis said. a,f
we will not qualify one OF the de-
mands We have made, but will insist
that everything we have asked for shall
be granted"
Then you look for trouble in the
event that the operators insist upon
their rejection of your demands and
refuse to recognize the union r.
Il am not predicting trouble or look
ing for 1t. All u have to say is that
we will insist upon our demands and
will make our attitude very clear 10
the operators"
1t Is not likely that the coal presi-
dents will concede the men much. 1f,
this turns out to be the case 1t Is. de-.
clared by the men that they will either
call a convention of the anthracite min
ers or call into session the international
executive board of the union to decide
upon the next step.
Thomas L. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers, would not make
a statement of his attitude in the
situation or say whether or not. in his
opinion, there would be a strike.

Reading Railroad, threatened to throw
Andrew Matti. a representative of the
seventh district, out of the room at

had just said:
Il am for the open shop. and I Will
be fore the open shop as long as Hive
you say you are for an open shop
said Mattf. do you not keep a closed
shop by fixing a price for coal that We
must all pay?I Rave read in the papers
that you operators have stored 1000

SHOW BIG GAINS
SINCE THE PANIC
In New York State the Increase
Has Been $500, 900, 900
in a Year.

NEW YORK, March 12.-In speaking
to the bankers Of Brooklyn and Long
Island last night, Clark Williams. State
banking superintendent, said:
The return of confidence is shown
i n thes fact that the banks under the
control OF the State department have
$500. 900, 600 more in deposits now than
they had at the time of the panic. The
punishment Of those who used corpora E
tion credit for private gain has been
such as to deter others so minded
There is evidence of a growing con-
servatism and of respect not only for
the law, but for the principles of sound
banking. The character of assets is be
ing serutinized more closely.
There Is evidence Of a return to
banking for quality rather than guam
tity. and to the view hat a deposit Is
still a liability"
