pears to be great believer in side

1t proper that people should gladly
turn into the street, women with

Here is a suggestion from Sena-
tor Hutchinson, who led the fight
more than three years ago against
the sale of the city water. system
and installation of meters:
District the city into 10 districts
and allow automatic sprinkling one
hour in each district, with heavy
penalties for violation
The history of the old fight will

credit the wells project, still suffi-

forced scarcity of water makes
good meter argument and meters
mean big money for the gentlemen
who have their grip on the meter

There isn't any question but that
automatic sprinlling should be reg

After numerous delays the mar
riage of the soldier, Wesley Lai-

heart, Ruth Harris, will take place
tomorrow. Laisure was arraigned
today on charge of seduction be-
fore Judge Webster and entered a
plea of guilty and asked leave of
the court to right the wrong he
had done the girl by marrying her.
Judge Webster told Deputy
Prosecutor Clausen to arrange the
details of the wedding, following
which the sentence in the case OF
Laisure will be suspended.
Deputy Prosecutor Clausen took
a trip to Fort Wright last night to
see Colonel Febiger as to what
could be done to secure the dis
charge of Laisure from the army
so that he might contribute to his
wife's support. The colonel said
that the only thing that could be
done was for Laisure to return to
his post and then to take up the
question of his discharge with the
war department.
This will be done, and tomorrow,
after Laisure has fulfilled his first
duty toward Ruth Harris and her
unborn babe, he will return to Fort
Wright and resume his duties as
a private soldier until eventually
discharged.
He has agreed to make an allow
ance from his wages for the sup
port of the girl, but as the pay is
only SIS per month, and Laisure
must retain "a portion for his per-
sonal expenses, the prospect OF
ample provision for his wife Is not
very bright.
But the girl is cheerful and will
ing to make the best of the ad-
verse circumstances into which her
lot has been cast, so the financial
condition of Laisure will be no bar
to the wedding.
A collection will be taken up to
secure a small donation for the
purchase of the marriage license
and the relief of the girl.
