After having spent considerable time in interviewing those desired for a commission to revise the charter or draft a new one, Mayor Thayer, in ac- cordance with the vote of the annual city meeting, has finally secured five who will serve, and they are announc- ed as follows: Henry A. Tirrell (chair man), Hibberd R. Norman. Frederic w. Cary, Charles H. Haskell, and Herman A1ofsin, 2d.

 The members of the commission have received notices of their appoint ment, and Chairman Tirrell stated Fri day that he had not called a meeting of the commission. but would probably do so within week. They are to re- port at a special city meeting prior to November Is, 1910, and by the resolu- can expend not over $500 for any nee esary expenses connected with the work.

 On Friday better scores were made by Lieutenant Denison, who secured 225, being ninth man, which brought him up in the list to 14th man for the two days. Musician Rising remained in the lead with Major Hagberg sec ond just the same. Corporal Burdick was 18th at the close on Friday, while Sergeant Warren was close to him. Shooting for the third trip over the ranges was started late Friday and Lieutenant Denison shot on the 200 and 600 yard ranges. getting 43 on the first and 46 on the second, both or which are good scores and give him a good start for today's work.

Sueared Water.

It appears that thesugar trust Is in difficulty with the city of New York, the latter claiming more than half a million dollars for water which is alleged to have been obtained by fraud. The reputation of the corport- ton is so unsavory as to create a general belief that the allegation is we'll grounded. Nevertheless. it is not easy to prove Certain facts are ad- mitted: for instance, that main water pipes were tapped by other pipes which supplies water to the refinery that the meters never regis tered; and that during the period since the municipal authorities be- gan to keep close watch much more water was registered per quantity of sugar melted than heretofore.
 This kind of circumstantial evidence of fraudulent practices is explained him bly enough. Thus it is maintained that the only purpose of the by-pip- ing was to enable the refinery to se- cure water when the meters were taken out for repairs; while the de- auctions from the sugar melting are declared to be unwarranted, since during the period of greater con- sumption of water a condensing en- zine was installed and besides the sugar was of such quality that more water was required to melt it. A ref cree has 50 days within which to de- termine to what degree the explana- tions explain. Probably he could think up pleasanter ways of passing the va cation season.-Providence Journal.
