MARCH ON CITY HALL

ming as low as 6 pounds, and at
times so low that the gauge fails
to register.
On the great north hill, contain
ing one-fourth of the area of the
city, there is not enough water to-
day to fight a fire should one break
out Water absolutely failed there
again this morning in some locali-
ties and was off yesterday for six
hours.
Justice and humanity demand
that the present supply of water
be more equitably distributed over
the city Open the force main and
give the people on the Monroe hill
water. They are entitled to it fully
as much as the people on the south
hill. in whose interest the chief
source of supply. the big force
main, is operated.
The Inconsistency of the sltua-
ton is that the city, with the aid
of its force main. shoots the water
over the parched regions Of the
north hill, where the working peo-
pie dwell. to the south hill, where
are the homes of the rich. The
force main runs through the lower
end of Lidgerwood, and with the
height thus attained the water de-
partment is enabled to throw a
stream directly into the standpipe
at Fourteenth and Grand, in the
Mantle district, and at the same
time fill the reservoir at Ninth and
Grand and the Cannon hill stand
pipe.
Another injustice to the consum-
ers of the north hill is the growing
use of the meter, under which plan
the consumer is permitted to use
all the water he wants at any hour
of the day for sprinkling with auto
mates or otherwise, as he may see
fit. This morning the sight was
presented Of one Of our millionaires
residing on Boone avenue having
six automatic sprinklers running,
while a mile and a half to the
north of him, on Byrne avenue, wo-
men lacked water to comb their
children's hair in preparation for
school. The Boone avenue mil
lionaire uses water by the meter
and naturally thinks, so long as
he has the money to pay for it, that
he is entitled to all the water he
wants, regardless OF whether his
neighbor. less fortunately situated,
gets any.
Last night at s o'clock lawn hose
In the west end of the Cannon
hill district threw streams 20 feet
high. while in parts of the north
hill there was no water to drink
from 4 to 10 p. m.
People with modern homes are
hit hard by the water famine. With
out water the simplest sanitary
needs of the home are cut off and
people are placed in a serious pre-
dicament.

Former Grocer Selected By
Democrats as Candidate for
Register of Deeds of Co..
OFFICES ARE GOING BEGGING

Democratic slate makers in charge of
filing the vacancies on the Democratic
ticket have taken another step toward
the completion of their work and it is
announced that Leo Flasch formerly
well known grocery man on the west
side Of the city has been selected as the
candidate Of the party for the Office
of register of deeds and that he has
consented to make the run for the Of
fee
Mr.. Flasch sold out his grocery bust
ness some time ago and at the present
time he is the local representative for
the Chicago and New York Electric
Railway in Kenosha. Flasch is widely
known among the Germans Of the city.
He is hustler and will undoubtedly
make a hot run for the office. 1t is
conceded that he will have no opposi-
ton for the nomination. 1t is also fin
ally settled that Mayor Scholey will be
the candidate of the Democracy for
member of the assembly. Matt. Green
wald, president Of the board Of water
commissioners who was the candidate of
the party two years ago stated We'd
nesday that he was through with poll
tics and that he was perfectly willing
that the mayor should have the nomi-
nation without a contest so far as he
was concerned.
The Democrats are still out with a
search warrant looking for other candi-
dates for the ticket A. J. Kelley has
declined TO run for county clerk and
James Spencer will not be the candi-
date of the party for the Office Of clerk
of the circuit court. A hard fight is
being made to get some candidates from
the rural districts to fill up these places
on the ticket but the Democrats out in
the county do not seem to have that
same feeling of certainty of party vic
tory felt by some of the people in the
city and they are not falling over each
other to get the minor places on the
ticket 1t is said that Henry Hastings
will stand by tie ship of Democracy if /
the committee insists that he make the
run against R. Y. Baker for district at
torney The time for the fling of petit
tions is getting decidedly short and the
Democrats are getting anxious to get
some more candidates in the field. The
list Of volunteer candidates seems to
be decidedly short with the exception
of candidates for sheriff and it is just
possible that some Of the candidates for
sheriff may be called upon to withdraw
and accept other places on the ticket as
consolation prizes.

BUTTERFIELD RESIGNS
United States District Attorney TO
Eastern District of Wisconsin.

United States District Attorney
Henry K. Butterfeld of Milwaukee, has
resigned and his resignation has been
accepted. He will retire on October /.
On July Z Mr.. Butterfeld sent letter
of resignation to the attorney general.
Yesterday he received a letter from
the attorney general accepting the res
ignation.
Assistant District Attorney Edward
j. Henning is looked upon as the most
likely successor to Mr.. Butterfield. He
is candidate for the Office and is ex-
peeted to receive the Endorsement of
Senator Stephenson, whose recommen-
dalton in regard to the Office will most
likely be adopted by the department of
justice and the president.
Mr.. Buttertield's term expired about
a year ago but he has continued to
hold Office under the law, which pro
vides that the district attorney hold of
fee until his successor qualities. Court
Commissioner William j. McElroy, was
recommended to succeed him by Sena-
tor La Toilette, but the recommendation
did not meet with the approval of the
administration and NO appointment
was made.
Mr.. Butterfeld has served two full
terms and could have been re-appoint-
ed had he wished. He desires to re-
tire from Office, however, to devote his
entire attention to the automobile bust
ness, he being an officer of the Kissel7
kar company of Hartford, where he re-
sides.

CONCESSIONS TO MOTORMEN
Men in Charge OF the Cars Will Be Per
mitssd to Wear Overalls and May
Get an Increase in Wages During the
Summer Months.

A campaign in the interests of the
public health has been commenced by
General Manager E. E. Downs of the
Chicago and Milwaukee electric rail
road who has issued stringent orders
against splitting in the street cars.
Notices have been posted in every car
requesting the cooperation of passen-
gers and warning all that splitting in
cars is violation of the state law.
The condition of many Of the com
pany's cars is reported by both pass
engers and trainmen to have been dis
graceful because of the carelessness of
the travelling public, especially the
smokers and chewers of tobacco. Work
men are the worst offenders according
to trainmen.
/" Ii the company would provide Gus
pidors in the smoking compartments
the temptation to spit upon the floors
Of the cars would in a large measure
be removed said a travelling man this
morning. GA man who smokes must
spit sometimes and spittoons would ma
terially assist in solving the problem of
keeping the cars clean and sanitary"
Motormcn on the electric line have
been granted concession by General
Manager Downs which they greatly APP
preciate. Until now they have been
compelled to wear heavy blue uniforms
which are both uncomfortable and ex-
pensive. In future they will be per-
mitted to dress in overalls and jumpers
and will thus be saved much needless
expense. They are frequently required
10 assist in repairing their cars when
Yomething goes wrong and soiled uni
forms naturally result.
Trainmen of the electric line have
repeatedly asked for an increase in pay
lveraging five cents per hour and a
.aise of one cent per hour is all that
as been offered. The wage question
$ up now with the management of the
DAD and it is expected that the de-
hands of the men will be met or com
ronise effected. The scale at present
twenty-five and thirty cents per hour
nd the men are seeking an increase to
hirty-two and thirtyfve cents per
our. Az strike is not talked of at pres
ut but radical measures may be ex-
ected soon if the wage question is not
9on settled.

plea is not amended OF an appeal tax

fulness of their attorneys will prob
ably result in the case being carried to

action which viii keep the Independ-
ents in office.
Attorneys Cooke, Pope and Pope
were given until next Monday to
amend their plea. In case it is de-
cided not to take an appeal the indie
pendents will still have majority in
the council and the next step will be
an attempt to hold new election. This
move on the part of the Voliva faction
will be strenuously fought so that the
present temporary victory will only be

battle.
