COLBY
BESEECHES AID
FOR WATER TRUST
As Paid Attorney He Sends Let-
tiers to Legislators to
Amend MCCran Bill.

Former Senator Everett Colby has
Joined with former Acknowledgement
Robert II. McCarter and former Cover
nor John w. Griggs in a written APP
peal to the members of the legislature
to nullify the McCran bill, which seeks
to prohibit the diversion of subter-
ranean waters of the State.
Mr.. Colby, as a paid attorney of the
"water-snake' has addressed a letter
to every senator and assemblyman.
urging them to amend the bill so that
the Hudson County Water Company
can take TO- 900, 900 gallons of water a
day from the wells driven at Belleville
for use, ostensibly In Staten Island.
For two weeks Mr.. Colby has been
active in the ranks of the water lobby
at Trenton seeking to have the Nc
Gran bill smashed in committee. He
was unsuccessful. The bill was re.
ported without amendment in the house
last night, to the qualification of the
people in the State, who want to see
the State water supply conserved.
The bill lis ready for second reading
and will be taken up promptly tomor-
row morning. according to assurances
given by Speaker Ward to Mr.. McCran.
of Passaic, sponsor for the. bill.
The fact that Mr.. Colby, during his
experience as a legislator. was one of
the strongest opponents of the water
snake has made his connection with
the East Jersey interests in this case
amazing to his friends and a source of
qualification to his enemies.

THOUSANDS VISIT GREAT
ARCHITECTURE EXHIBIT
General Invitation to Older Pupils in
Public Schools Issued by City
Superintendent Moore

A total of approximately 1880 people
have visited the architectural ex-
hibit in the Hamburger building, ana
il is expected that the rate of at
tendance will be much larger in three
remaining days, the time fixed for clos
ing being p. m. Sunday.
DR.. E. C. Moore, superintendent OF
the Los Angeles city schools. has sent
comics of a circular letter to the prin-
cipals. requesting them to urge the
students of the older classes to attend
the exhibition and to convey to their
parents an invitation from the Los
Angeles Architectural club.
DR.. Moore declares the exhlbitlon
well worth attending and says: "The
work of Edwin Rowland Blac--field, the
noted mural painter, will attract every
one interested in figure drawing. the
object of the exhibition is to show
what the best architects in various
parts of the United States are doing
to improve and beautify our cities
INTELLECTUALLY"
The Blashfield collection is a no.
table display, comprising much of his
most famous work. Among the eX-
hibits is a photograph of decoration by
MIR. Blashfield in the court house of the
city of Baltimore, which has added to
his fame.
While the Blashfield collection is an
exhibition of itself, it is in size but a
small part of the display, which is one
of the most comprehensive ever held
in the country.
Admission is free and everyone is
invited to attend.

AMERICAN SUFFERS
IN MEXICAN PRISON
Conductor Cook, III, Deprived Of Food
and Medicine--Heaith Fails
Fast, but United States
Remains Inactive

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. H.-As re-
suit of the long and inexplicable delay
of the state department in acting on
the appeal of thousands of railway
men and others who have begged That
some step be taken to procure the I'M
mediate trial Of Train Conductor Cook,
the American held on various pre-
texts in the jail at Guadalajara, Mex,
reports from that city today state Cook
is rapidly failing under his rigid con-
finement, and in need of medical at
tention which, SO far, has been denied
to him.
Dispatches also state that Cook Is
in rags, being virtually without cloth
ing except for few tattered gar
ments given to him by fellow
prisoners.
The jail-keepers, it is reported, give
Cook practically nothing to eat, ana
except for the generosity of Chinese
hotel keeper he would perhaps starVe'
IT is said Cook owes the Chinese Tor
several months food supplies, ana It
is feared his benefactor soon may be
compelled to cut off the supply.
Despite the many protests from the
United States. and the promise Of the
state department at washington sew
eral weeks ago to "look into the al
fair" the Mexican authorities con-
tinue to keep Cook in prison, and there
are no prospects of his being, tried al
any time soon.
