UNCLE LON MAY BE
CLERK OF HOUSE
Stands Good Chance to Land
$4,000 Job.

Washington, d. c., oNv. 25.-Repre-
sentative Lon Livingston of the Fifth
Georgia district, who was defeated in
the primaries, has an excellent chance
of becoming the clerk of the Demo-
cratic house of representatives, ae-
cording to leaders who are arriving
here and who have been told that
"Uncle Lon" will be in a receptive
mood after his term expires.
The position pays $4,000 per year,
the duties are comparatively light, and
the friends of the old Democratic war
horse believe that Mr. Livingston's
long services in the house and his
wide acquaintance, both with Repub-
licans and Democrats, will result in an
advantage difficult for any other aspi-
rant to overcome.
so far there are understood to be
but two candidates for the position
which is about the most desirable to
be bestowed by the house Democrats
when they come into power at the be-
ginning OF fhe SiNty-second congress
Uncle Ions" opponent is former
Representative ,Trimble of Kentucky
who also seeks the clerkship.
Only One Other.
There is today but one other Demo-
crat who equals 'Uncle Lon" in con
tinuous service in the house. He IS
Representative William A. Jones of
Virginia, who entered the Fifty-second
congress along with the Georgian
Jones, however, was reelected, where
as the voters of the Fifth Georgia de-
clined to forget that "Uncle Lon had
voted just once for what was regarded
as a perpetuation of the Cannon rules

1t has been a strange turn of po-

sentative Livingston of the coveted

member has been the ranking minor
ity member on the appropriations COM

so-called Tammany Democrat, of New
York city.
1t was Livingston's vote for an
amendment offered by Fitzgerald
which caused sUncle Ions" defeat in

who offered the amendment probably
will get the craftsmanship that would
have gone to the Georgian, for Fitz-

SUGAR TRUST STOLE
The CITY'S WATER
Trust Made Up of Lowest
Thieves on Record.

New York, November 21.-Morgan,
referee in the suit brought by the
American Sugar Refining Company
flor a peranent injunction restrain
ing the City of New York from shut
ting off its water in the Williams
burg refinery, because the company
won't pay a claim of 1925, 500 for
wster. which the city alleges tao sd
gar trust stole, handed down a deci-
sion yesterday, recommending chat
the injunction be denied, and hold
ing that the sugar trust did steal the
city's water. This leaves the city free
to go about collecting it's bill after
twenty days, after which period it may
shut off the sugar company's wat u
if the bill is not paid.
Can't Recover For All Water Stolen.
The threat to shut off the sugar
trusts water if payment was not
made in fifteen days was made on
March II, 1908, 10y Water Commits
sioner OBrien. The city wanted
$525 900 for unmetered water used
from July 80, 1897, to July 80, 1905
This interval of time was specified
because the statute of limitations pre-
vented the city from recovering for
water stolen before that.
Referee O'Brien gives it as Lis opin-
ion that the amount of water which
the sugar trust is accused of having
stolen is greater than the facts laid
before him show. 1t was charged that
Tor six years TIE company stole l.
100000 gallons day Mr.. OBrien
says that he believes 100000 gallons
a day is nearer the mark. He says
that he has no power to make the
dismissal of the sugar company's COM
plant conditional upon the reduction
Jf the tityis demand, and he simply
finds that the complaint should be dis
missed, with costs.
The Investigation which led to the
charge against the sugar trust was
begun in the summer of 1908, when
Robert Van Iderstine, then a deputy
water commissioner, was ordered by
Water Commissioner Monroe to make
survey of the manufacturing dis
tricts of Brooklyn to find out where a
large volume of water for which the
city wasn't getting paid was going.
The engineers who worked under Mr.
Van Iderstine's direction used a pio-
meter to measure the flow through
certain mains to certain districts,
comparing the amount registered with
that reported and paid for. 1t WASH t
long before it seemed certain that
there was a big leak of some kind
about the American Sugar Refining
Company's plant. The streets about
the plant were trenched, the pipe Lines
leading from the mains to the plant
were examined and the result was
The uncoyering of a complicate system
of by-passes leading into the refinery
by which water could be piped into
the plant without passing through the
meters.
