Labor wants to know what became
of the pure water crusade. u
Previous to the ratification of the
bon tissue by the voters of Wheel
ing, there was assurance that the
main reason for securing funds for
the water works was to give an ade-
quate and pure supply Of water.
Now thht they have the money, the
Board of Control seems to have for
gotten ali about the purity of the
water, and is only concerned with
supplying enough of whatever kind
it is.
The Ohio Valley Assembly has
taken the matter up and will push it

charged, only considered means Of
procuring a quantity of water, and
did not concern itself any with the
quality, well knowing that the merch-
ants and manufacturers had the@need
OF only water-just WATER, to run
their elevators and dnachinery and
put out possible fires. These people,
it was\stated, did not have to drink
river way ter, being able to afford spring
water, and SO they are opposed to any
filtration scheme that will make the
water cost evenea tiny bit more, even
though it give pure water to the
families of the working class of

CHURCHES JOIN
GRAFT CRUSADE
Pittsburg Ministers Make Eff.
fort Arouse Sentiment.
Many Councilmen Expected to Resign
Without Protest-Banks are
Called Upon to Testify.

Pittsburg, March 29.-The Lenten
season, which ended Sunday, has been
too short season of penitence for
Pittsburg, and it will be continued
with promise of even more startling
confessions of graft this week.
In several hundred churches the
feature of the Easter services was the
reading of circular letter issued by a
civil committee, urging the members
of every congregation to attend huge
indignation mass meeting to be held
some day this week. Sermons, too,
were designed to arouse public con-
demnation of such practices as have
been revealed. Lessons in civic clean
illness were drawn by many pastors.
1t having been pretty thoroughly es-
tablished, according to District Attor-
ney William A. Blakeley, that at least
$102, 500 was used in influencing legis-
lation, the source of the money and the
dispensers of it are to be the focus of
the grand jury's attention tomorrow
morning.
A considerable portion of the big
bribe fund is charged to certain banks
that sought to get city deposits. They
succeeded, but it is the desire of the
grand jury, as pronounced in its report
of Friday last, that the bank deposit
ordinance be rescinded, and the banks,
if found guilty, be deprived of the use
of city money. 1t is known that some
representatives of the banks are to be
called tomorrow to testify.
The six banks that have been named
by the grand jury as having been in
volved in the scandal are the Columbia
National, the German National of
Pittsburg, the Farmers National De-
posit bank, and the Second National,
the German National, of Allegheny,
and the Workingmen's Savings &
Trust company.
The directorate of the Farmers
National has announced that it will
comply with the district attorneys
call for information and the Second
National has prepared a certified state
ment which is to be presented to the
grand jury tomorrow. The other
banks have taken no action.
1t was still unlearned tonight wheth-
er Charles Stewart in his talk with Dis
trict Attorney Blakeley told all he is
believed to know of the men higher up.
Stewart is an ex-Select councilman,
who was declared by the grand jury in
its presentment Saturday to have been
the man to whom $45,0OO of bribe-
tainted money was given at the Hotel
Imperial in New York.

rhe Youngest Aanlr...

Captain David Beatty will shortly
have the distinction Of being the
youngest rear-admiral in the British
navy. His forthcoming promotion
at the early age of thirty-eight has
been the subject of a special Order in
Council.
To qualify for promotion under the
regulations captain must have served
during peace time for a total period
of six years. The Admiralty petition
sets forth that, owing to the abnormal
shortening of the time on the cap
tains' list. 1t is anticipated that Cap
tain Beatty will reach his turn for pro.
motion before he completes the full
period of six years.
1t is also pointed out that he was
severely wounded In action in China,
and was consequently prevented from
receiving an appointment for a con-
siderable period.
In these circumstances the Order
directs that Captain Beatty shall be
promoted to flag rank In his turn, not
withstanding the regulations.
Captain Beatty is an Irishman. His
wife Is a daughter of an American
millionaire, the late Marshall Field
founder of the great dry goods store
in Chicago
Nelson was promoted to the rank OF
rear-admiral in his thirty-ninth year.
