misappropriation of funds in dis

action was dismissed, it being
shown that instead of Intentionally

made his remittance of funds to the
wrong source.

01AnS

llxnt ana water plant, OF which con.
siderable has been said OF late, was
again brought before the council
on Tuesday evening through a let
ter signed by o. H. Griggs, manager
of the Virginia Electric Power &
Water Co. to City Clerk Bickford,
the text of which was az follows:
"Replying to your letter of July
~ concerning waiver by this CON-
pauy of the terms of our franchise
relative to purchase by the city, 1
beg to advise you that I have no
authority to give such waiver to
the city. / may cay, however. that
it is my opinion that the company
might be willing to grant such
waiver as you ask at almost any
time after 1913. This letter. however,
does not constitute such waiver"
Anent this reply to former CON-
munication the clerk was upon mo-
ton instructed to write Manager
Griggs asking him to take up the
matter of a waiver of the terms re.
ferred to with his company and ad-
wise the council of the reply author.
lied to be made.
The question of the city's right to
condemn wac brought up by Alder
man NOLAN. but Attorney Poirier
stated that az vet he had not suffi-
GENTLY studied the question to be
able to give definite answer az to
the possible rights of the munic-
ipality in the premises; that he was
giving the matter much time and
attention aud would shortly be in
position to give definite opinion
on several intricate points in con-
nection with the franchise and the
possibility of acquisition of same
together with the plant of the com
pany.
Alderman NOLAN suggested the
employment OF some eminent at
torney whose experience had made
him familiar with similar questions
to assist in drafting an opinion on
the c,ty's rights, but the suggestion
failed of support and passage a,
this time.
Alderman Kimball supported the
idea of special election for the
purpose of obtaining the sentiment
of voters and taxpayers on the pro.
priety of purchase, but in consid.
Grafton of the fact that thus far no
definite proposition was in shape
tor submission the attorney advis.
ed against such action, and Alder.
man Is. c. A. Johnson counselled
that it was signed opinion from
the president and secretary of the
company az to whether or no they
would waive franchise rights that
was wanted.
Such opinion will likely be sub
mitted shortly in reply to the com.
munication ordered sent by the
clerk, and thereafter the council
will be in closer touch with the
situation in respect to the desires
of the company at least.
If the city is to purchase at any
time We scarce see the philosophy
of waiting until 1919 unless the
point 10 made compulsory by the
absolute refusal of the company to
waive the rights of possession &C.
cured to them by their franchise
until that time. On the other hand,
the creation of sinking fund for
the purpose of installing a new
plant is spoken of, which would
have the support of private con-
sumers only for the ensuing %
years, but which it is believed by
many could and would be self-sus-
tanning at reduced rates.

Harris bill for February was also
chopped down 81 more by the audit
ing committee, the first experience
of the kind Harris has enjoyed in

hauling two patients to the isola-

must be concluded that Harris had
filed an unjust claim against the
city. If Harris tried to get those 81
without a righteous cause it Is evil
dence that some of his prior bills

Yes, The Press is making good

Through the publicity given by
this newspaper to the graft of v.
b. Harris, superintendent of the
isolation hospital, in his charges
for meals served the patients, Har-
ris was forced to disgorge SS2 in
a bill allowed this week, for meals
served during February.
For nearly four years Harris, as
superintendent of the isolation hos
pital, has been getting rich off the
taxpayers without any word of pro-
test from the mayor, city council,
health department or other func-
tionaries at the city hall, that ap-
pears of public record, until his
measure was taken by The Press.
In the last two years his cellec-
tions for meals, transportation OF
patients and services have brought
him about $4,000. For February
Harris billed the city for $1044 for
meals to patients and help at the
isolation hospital. This was at %
cents per meal that he has drawn
ever since he has been at the hos
pital. After computing the amount
of services he had or, more proper.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-At-
torney Brandeis asked that Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger be
called to the witness stand when
the Ballinger inquiry was resumed
today.
Attorney Vertrees for Ballinger,
opposed the request of Louis
CLAWS representative, and de-
clared that Brandeis had no right
to summon the secretary. Vertrees
added that Brandeis should not be
allowed to question Secretary Bal
linger until he (Nertrees) had con
Cluded an examination of the sec
retary.
Brandeis retorted to Vertrees
objection by showing copy of a
letter written by the secretary of
the interior in which Ballinger ex-
pressed willingness to be present
and at all times expedite the work
of the committee.
After a short argument, the com
mittee voted to thresh out the
question and decide it later in an

SLASHES WIFE:
DIVES IN WELL

GLOBE. Ariz., March 25.-Mrs.
Milton Fisher is dying at the coun-
ty hospital and her husband is be-
ing treated at the county Jail for
injuries he sustained when he
dived head foremost into a 75-foot
we'll, as the result of a family quar-
rel in their home near the famous
Old Dominion smelter.
Fisher slashed his wife about
the head and shoulders with a
razor, inflicting wounds which the
doctor says he cannot survive.
He then rushed from the house
and hurled himself into the open
well. Neighbors who heard Mrs
Fishers screams took her to hos
pital. Later they removed Fisher
from the well. How he survived
his fall is a mystery to the physi.
clans who dressed the painful
wounds on his body and head.
