A recent New York lettsr makes the
prediction, based on the opinions of ex-
perts, that "the disappearance of Wall
Street, termed by its critics the greatest
gambling center in the world, is only a
question of time" Truly a startling
prospect. But upon reading the letter
further, it appears that it is not the
gambling center that is to disappear, but
the prediction simply means that geo.
graphical change will take place, and
the city's financial center will some time
move up town.

WATER IS WASTED
BY CITY SCHOOLS
Department Head Says Jani-
tors Are Ignorant and
Careless.

That there is a tremendous waste OF
water in the public schools due to care
lessness on the part of the Janitor
service, was the statement made today
by w. p. Mcfarland, superintendent Of
the Water Department. Mr.. Mcfarland
is engaged in the preparation OF a re-
port, to be submitted to the Commits
sioners. showing the exact amount Of
water consumed in the school buildings.
Mr.. Mcfarland said today that dur
ing vacation periods there has been a
waste Of from 5000 TO 10000 gallons a
day in one building, caused by tine jan
itors permitting the spigots to run.
in order to correct these conditions,
Capt William Kelly, Assistant Engineer
Commissioner, has recommended that
the Comni ssioners request the Board OF
Education to designate an official to
consult with the inspector OF plumbing,
and thereafter instruct the janitors in
the care OF the plumbing fixtures.
In this connection Plumbing Inspector
H. 3. Davis says
Cases are often found where the
janitor is instructed to increase the
flow by the principal, supervising prin-
ciDal, or medical director, regardless Of
the fact that the increase cannot be
of any advantage. is a useless waste OF
water. and in some cases defeats the
purpose of The fixtures inasmuch as
the various grooved and curved sur
faces are designed TO take a certain
flow OF water at a certain velocity, and
any increase tends TO defect the flow
from points where IL is most useful in
keeping the fixtures clean"
Capt. James r. Oyster. president of
the Board of Education said today
that If there is to be found a waste of
water in the public schools steps will be
taken Immediately to prevent the same.

MINISTRY CONSIDERS
COLONIZATION PLAN

ROME, Jan. 15.-The ministry Of pub

ton of Duke Litta's offer to c0Icnize
900 Of the families made destitute by
the earthquake on his 20OoO0-ac~s estate
along the Miakka river, in Manatee
county, Fla.
The chief difficulty in the way OF
carrying out the plan, according 20
Minister BertoliHi. is the probable con-
hict with United States immigration
laws.
If the scheme can be found practica-
bic the dukes offer will be accepted.
and the government will provide trans
portatiOn and the means for making as
