Member of Board Gives a
Capacity of 5oo,ooo,ooo,
If Needed.

The Legislative Finance Commission
called as witnesses at it's hearing to-day
in the City Hall, ]. Waldo Smith, chief
engineer Of the Board Of Water Supply.
and c. A. Shaw, Commissioner Of Water
Supply.
Assemblyman Linden W. Bates jr.
subjected the witness to searching
technical examination on the various
reservoirs that have been selected to
flow into the Catskill Basin.
25o,0oo,00o Gallon Supply.
Mr., Smith said that the minimum that
could be relied upon for the supply Of
New York City was 5000, 900 gallons O
day. Whether 1t was a dry year or not
did not affect this flow, the witness said
The various statements that have been
made BY engineers critlcising the prof.
ect, lac witness said. were based upon
insufficient data. Many Of these en-
gineers, he said, had changed their opin-
Ions later in favor OF the plans OF the
Water BOARD. His attention as called
10 a statement made by Carlton Davis,
a civil engineer, that the cost would be
S2S.OUOeU more than the boards e5tl-
mate and that tl.e capacity OF the Asho-
kan reservoir would be several billion
gallons less than that mentioned In the
plans. Jir, Smith refused to commit
himself to any answer to either OF these
conclusions.
Chairman Cassidy asked the witness
about the changes IN the plans which
altered the route Of the aqueduct for
several miles
Were those plans changed so that
private interests could purchase all the
land along the changed line OF the aque-
duct? 10 you know that the plans were
changed after the land had been pur-
chased" he asked.
Il know nothing about It," said Mr
Smith.
But you have heard OF It, have you
not?"
NO; this is the first time l have
heard OF It,"
Are you willing to swear that you
know nothing OF the hundreds OF thou
sands Of plots of land that were bought
up BY private interests along the line
that the change tolowed?' demanded
the Chairman.
Knows Of No Deals,
II don't know any, | am willing TO
swear to the best OF my knowledge and
belief that these lands were not bought
up by private interests"
III you don't know, who does?"
II can't say"
Would the Corporation Counsel
know"
II don't know"
The line OF inquiry was then shifted
to the matter Of the course taken by the
Board OF Water Supply when 1t had to
use State lands for it's purposes Mr..
Smith said that all the questions OF
title were referred to the Corporation
Counsel
Charles s. Chadwick, member Of the
Board of Water supply. was recalled
to testify. lie said that when the reser.
voIrs We're completed 1t would give to
the city 100000 gallons OF water every
day IL the necessity arose. In answer
to MIR Cassidy's question, this great
supply would probably entail an addi-
tonal expense OF 100000 for the en-
largement OF the water system.
We will recommend this as soon as
the demand requires that the city should
get all this water said Mr.. Chadwick
Then the size of the city debt has
not the slightest effect on you?' asked
the Chairman,
I'VE are simply performing our duty"
Mr.. Chadwick answered.

THOMPSON LOSES MATCH.
Gets Two Falls From johnson But
is Unable to Throw BuckneIl
and Forfeits Match.

The wrestling match at Rud-
olph's hall on Thursday evening re-
suited in victory for the local
wrestlers and defeat for T. Thomp-
son of Chicago. The terms of the
match were that Thompson was to
throw Alfred Johnson of Madison
township and Harry Bucknell of
DEBORAH each two falls in one hour
of actual wrestling. There was on
ly small crowd present, but they
saw good exhibition. Between
the falls and previous to the main
event there were several bouts be-
tween some of the minor pupils of
ID. A. Mcmillan, which were very
interesting. In the main match
Johnson demonstrated that he had
profited by the experience of the
match with Thompson the week be-
fore, and defended himself we'll, so
that Thompson did not throw him
for twenty-seven minutes. The
second fall was secured in eighteen
minutes. When Bucknell appeared
he surprised all with his powerful
physique, his wonderful agility and
his knowledge of the wrestling
game. He is one of the most prom
Using men of his age ever seen in
DEBORAH. Quick as a cat, he forced
the wrestling from the start, and it
was plain to see that Thompson not
only could not throw him, but the
chances were very strong that he
would throw Thompson, who, after
keeping out of his reach for several
minutes, gave up the match, and
said he could not throw him.
Bucknell gives promise Of making
great wrestler. He has every
qualification for success, and prop
er training will soon put him in
the first rank, unless all signs fail

Crobes, but is the result of condition
brought about by their presence.
Badness may not occur until years
after the microbes began work, but
it is certain to come sooner or later.
The microbes cut off the blood
supply. They feed on the fatty mat
ter about the root of the hair
through which the blood is absorbed.
Finally the fatty matter is wholly
consumed, the food supply of the
hair is gone and it starves and final
ly dies.
Resorcin is one of the most eff
fective germ destroyers; Beta Nap
thol is both germicidal and anticep-
tic; Philocarpin, though not dye,
restores natural color to hair when
loss of color was caused by disease.
These curatives properly mixed with
alcohol as a stimulant, perfect a
remedy unequalled for curing scalp
and hair troubles.
We want everyone who has any
scalp or hair troubles to try ReXall
"93" Hair Tonic, which contains all
these ingredients. If it does not
grow hair on your bald head, stop
your hair from falling out; cure
you of dandruff; make your hair
thick, silky, luXuriant; if it does not
give you complete satisfaction in
every particular, return the empty
bottle to us, and we shall return
every penny you paid us for it, with
out question or formality.
OF course you understand that
when we say that ReXall 1913" Hair
Tonic will grow hair on bald heads,
we do not refer to cases where the
roots are entirely dead, the pores
of the scalp closed. and the head
has the shiny appearance of a bill

is no hope. In all other cases of
badness Rexall "93" Hair Tonic

NATURE OF EXPERT TESTIMONY
Rude interrupter Of Justice Really

Judge Frederick E. Crane of New

which he administers justice.
well, we are not omniscient, we

air you might often think we were.
When l begin to feel omniscient, Il
call to mind, as a corrective, Judge
O'Brien of Dublin.
Judge O'Brien was delivering his
decision In a will contest. The testator
had gone to America, and nothing
had been heard of him for many years.
Hence he was supposed to be dead,
and they were dividing up his estate
according to the will he had left
behind.

man, read on and on.
"'And 1t is plain to me- read Judge
O'Brien, that when the testator said
he bequeathed this farm and appur-
tenances to Bridget O'Hoolahan, by
appurtenances he meant all that por-
tion marked A and colored green on
the plan.'
