To Repair Aqueduct Equipment

The twelve caterpillar traction en-
gines and forty-four traction engine
wagons on the aqueduct undergo d
hard service, in transporting freight
along the aqueduct line, that calls for
regular purchase of many repair
parts. As the engines and wagons are
all purchased from one firm, COM
petitive bids are not practical for re-
pairs. and the city council has been
asked to authorize a contract with
the manufacturers for repair parts
from month to month, under the emer-
gency provisions of the charter, This
viii facilitate keeping the equipment in
good order.

Angeles aqueduct bureau, which was
presented November 80, 1908, has been
issued in printed form. As the appro-

tcally exhausted. The report is illus
trated with pictures of work and

would run into thousands more.

TAFT'S FINGERS
ON LOAN PULSE
CHINESE FEEL PRESSURE OF
WASHINGTON
AMERICAN BANKERS INTENT ON
PARTICIPATION
International Complications May Re-
suit from Presidents Attempt to
Obtain Share of Mortgages
on Hankow Road

PEKING. July 26.-The success of
President Taft's telegram sent about a
week ago to Prince Chun, the Chinese
regent, with the purpose, it is under
stood, of tying the hands of Grand
Councillor Chang Chi Tung in the mat
ter of the American claim for partici-
patton in the HankOW SEE Chuen rail-
read loan of $27,500,O00, appears
doubtful.
The Chinese foreign board today is
unable to Vouch for Chang Chi Tung' 5
actions and fears he will memorabilia
the throne in favor of the original loan
agreement, thereby forcing the prince
regent to decide between himself and
tn risk of losing American friendship.
Henry P. Fletcher. American charge
d'affaire3 at Picking. today warned
Sir John n. Jordan, the British min
lister at Picking, and also the British
bank, that the American government
will understand a continuation of pres
sure on Chang Chi Tung to mean that
1t is sanctioned by Great Britain.
Taft's Determination Apparent
The prince regent has placed a
serious Interpretation on President
Taft's message and has instructed the
foreign board TO use every means i'm
its power to. arrange the loan in ac-
cordance with Mr.. Taft's wishes.
1t is now learned that, on July T.,
after the failure of the conference in
London with the American represen-
tatives. the British. French and Ger
man bankers signed an agreement en-
bracing an Equality alliance with ref
erence to Chinese loans"
The foreign bankers here are Gag
erly awaiting details of this agree
ment.
The above disclosure followed threat
ening British criticism here relative to
the political infirmities of the British
alliance with German banks and is be-
lieved to have been partly inspired by
British apprehension at being involved
in the threatening scandal over the
construction of the German section of
the Tien Tsin-PukoW railway, which
the Germans and British are building
