.sDOCTORING" OFa
 THE CITY WATER.

It is but just to the water company to say that 1t does not intend to use -hypochloride of lime" as bacteri- eide in the city's water supply until such time a the water Is found to contain an unhealthy and perhaps dangerous number of bacteria. Such ts not the case at present and may never become the case. but on the other hand N may become the case at any time and the bactericide may be applied without notice to consumers and thus without their knowledge of the fact. We suggest to the company that 1t should give timely notice or any intention to use the bactericfde, for many consumers do not desire 4o use for drinking or culinary pur- poses water 60 unhealthy or so dam rsrous as to demand chemical treat 4soent.
 Hypochioride of lime is, practically. "bleaching powder" and Is used large ly in the bleaching of cloth. AS chloride of lime'' it is used as a dis. tnfectant and largely sold and used as such.
 Bleaching powder" or chloride of line'-cau it which you please-is a compound of lime, chlorine and oxy- gen. It usually contains about 37 per cent of chlorine. and Its disinfec- ting properties are due to the lib- eration of chlorine gas which Is a powerful germicide. has suffocating odor. and in its pure state causes immediate death to any animal im- mersed in it and even when largely diluted with common air cannot be breathed with safety.
 Chlorine gas in water is used for bactericidal purposes. as mouth wash and for bathing and is both a deodorant and a bacter:cide, and it is sometimes used internally for it's sermicidal properties, particularly in typhoid fever.
 Hartford is cited as using this bac- tericide but as matter Of fact, does not use 1t unless compelled by drouth to resort to the sewage-pol- luted water of the Connect cut river. and is now seeking either new sources of water supply or an in- crease in storage facilities. in order to avoid the use of chemically-treat- ed water.
 We do not believe that Bridgeport desires water thus "doctored." or that it should be led into its use through failure of the company to give due notice of the placing ofsthe chemical treatment in operation.

Ex-President Roosevelt is to attend the annual banquet of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce, and Governor elect Baldwin has been invited to at tend. The former Is to deliver an address which will be carefully pre- pared in advance and will deal with the results of the November elec- tions. Should Judge Baldwin attend, he will naturally be expected to reply to the Ex-President, and this without any fore-knowledge of Roosevelt s statements, a situation of decided dis advantage.
 The Ex-President declined some weeks ago to sit at table with Sen- ator Lorrimer of Illinois because of the cloud upon the latter's title. Judge Baldwin may, if he so chooses, ac- cept this as a precedent and decline to sit at table with one who unjustly attacked him during the recent cam paign and refused to retract the ac- cusation when informed of it's falsity

President Taft stated. in his mes- sage to Congress on Tuesday, that the timber supply of the country is very largely controlled by persons and cor porations, closely connected in the ownership. and that in the event of . combination to fix prices. impor- tation of lumber. free of duty, might become e necessity. It Is the one definite reference to tariff duties in the message.
 The condition which he apprehends; prevails in other industries, but he did not include them Tn the suggest cd remedy which is, in substance, the Democratic principle of repeating the protection of industries that, through combinations, dominate the home mar ket and fix prices at extortionate rates.

The sen- timental plea, that immigrants are seeking to escape intolerable condi- tions, has either vanished or been largely abated. Those coming here now are very many of them. seeking merely to accumulate the small sums which will enable them to live com fortably in their native countries.

 Furthermore '"The Shrimps will selected by the aforesaid 'tLobsters-"
 Given under our hand and seal this first day of March, A. D., 1910.

They will have to pull out a bit, (Pulver included-) Rip Van Wrinkle will make a fine man to put the balls in the gutter.

MlLKMAN DEWOLFE PAINFULLY HURT
 IN COLLISION
THROWN INTO STREET UNDER FALLING MILK WAGON IN EARLY MORNING.

In collision with a bakery wagon in the fog and rain at Arctic and morning Harry s. DeWolfe, aged 90, residing with his family at his dairy farm at Kossuth street and Bostor Il avenue, was thrown under his cover ed milk wagon and painfully hurt. DeWolfe was removed in the am DU- lance to the emergency hospital, later to the home of his brother, Dr. D. c. DeWolfe of 516 Fairfield avenue. This noon he was taken home.
 DeWolfe had started out on his regular early morning delivery of milk when he reached the junction of the two streets where the ac- cident occurred. He was making a wide sweep as ne turned the corner. Just then another wagon, he thanks the cross street and ran him down in the darkness. The horse struck his wagon with such violence that DeWoIfe was thrown from his seat heaoforemost Into the muddy street, and though he strove to escape the wagon it topp1ed over, he did not succeed in rolling far enough away to avoid the top. It pinioned ais right leg between the ankle and knee.
 His horse, taking fright, started to run, and dragged the wagon over his limb, rupturing several fragments and badly wrenching the ankle. DeWolfe regained his feet, however, and pre- vented a runaway. In the confusion following the collision, and awaiting the arr1VaI OI the C0rAS, the driver of the other team, who ap- parent1y escaped unhurt, disappear ed.
 pr. McQueeney, the ambulance sur geon, found DeWolfe had escaped broken bones, on making a casual examination at the emergency hos pitaI, and then at the victims re- quest he removed him to the home of his brother, the well known eye specialist. This afternoon DeWoIfe's leg and ankle were very badly swol- len. It is feared that the accident will deprive him of the free use of his leg for a long period.

ing the early rounds, and the blows he landed did not affect me. When I was ready in the sixteenth round, I went after him and l should have knocked him out.
 f Iwould have done so if I had had a couple of more rounds to do the job I would like to get 9 chance to meet Nelson, Wolgast or any of them. I am glad that I made good in San Francisco I would like to have a few more fights here.
 Owen Moran, sore mentally, as well as physically, said:
 <I was robbed by Smith The deci- sion was awfully bad and there isn't a fair minded man in the audience who will not agree with me. Why I fought him off his feet for fifteen the last few rounds with a slight lead, it did not offset my lead which I gain ed during the early part of the fight.
 I was not in the best of condi- tion, but am not offering any excuses for that, as I think I won. I did not quit at the finish. I did all the forcing and took the fight to Murphy through out the contest. I had won the fight. want to fight him again.
 Wolgast, who was at the ringsde, thought a draw would have been a good decision. He said:
 Nose Gunst, Tex Rickard, Jack Glea- son and Sam Berger believed Moran should have received the decision.

BURKE AND M'MAHON
 REAL CHAMPIONS

Burke and McMahon defeated
 Chatfe1d and O'Rourke of Water
 bury in very fast and exciting five
 mile relay race at the Park City rink, last evening, by almost lap, 15 min
 utes and IT seconds, which is the fastest time for five miles this season.. Burke and Chatf1eld started the race with the Brass City boys holding it for three miles and a. half, a half a lap to the good. Burke and Me Mahon were kept very busy watching the fast Brass City boys, as they re- layed often. When the crowd rushed to the sides of the track it seemed to make Burke go all the faster and by doing this they sprinted every lap until they had their men. Burke passed Chatfeld on the third mile and a half, sprinting for five or six laps, and gained a half lap for his team. McMahon did not seem to go in the early part of the race. but ne was there strong at the finish. Mo Mahon is not very fast until he has gone three four miles, as he is long distance skater and it takes a Iong time for him to get warmed up. Burke and McMahon without a doubt are the two fastest skaters in Con recticut today and will give the strongest battle to any relay team in this state at any time in a five mile relay race. Manager Cross1ey has arranged two fast amateur races S5r tomorrow evening for the big anna teur cup. The race will start at 10 o'clock.

MURPHY TELLS HOW
 HE SIZED UP MORAN
Purposely Waited Till Near End of Fight Before Cutting
 Loose-Moran Holds that Referee Robbed Him

San Francisco, March 2.-Tommy Murphy and Owen Moran were about yesterday bearing but little marks Of the sensational twenty-round battle in which they engaged last night in Dreamland Rink and in which liar lem Tommy received the decision and merited it. Studded as the fight was with fierce battling and clever box ing it was only natural perhaps that today the partisans of the Englishman contended that a draw would not have been unfair, the more bitter of them that the decision was unfair.
 Of course, is natural, most of the talk today came from the losers and was in the nature of criticisms of the decision.
 Ad. Wolgast, who, it was= announced would make a match with the winner, said unhesitatingly> >that he had no in tent1on Of doing so. He would rest for three months and then if a fight would not interfere with his theatrical engagements he would take on Nelson again.
 MURPHY NEVER HAD DOUBT.
 Murphy, in speaking of the fight, said: "I was fighting under wraps for time and was always strong. I fought Moran three times and had him clearly sized up. I played a waiting game and found out that his stomach was his weak point and then went in after him. I was sizing him up dur

ERNIE LUSH IS
 WHITE HAIRED BOY
MCGraw is Sure the Park City Lad
 is a Conner.

Here is what Sam Crane writes for the New York Evening Journal from Marlin, Tex:
 McGraw is so sweet on Lush that he told me: "I would not be afraid to put Lush into a championship game right now. He is a natural born ball player if there ever was one. He loves the game, is willing and anxious, ambitious and full Of pepper. He will take advantage, too, and will follow it. I don't have to tell him the second time. He wants to learn and asks me things that he don't understand. That is the kind of youngster I like and can take pride in developing. When he first came with me he pulled away from the plate three feet, I'll bet. Now look at him. And as Lush was up at bat at the time, I saw that he into the plate and took 2 good free-arm swipe that sent the ball on a, dead line to left. Lush is a right hand hitter, while Spencer swings left handed, but Lush ap- pears to be infinitely faster on his feet. Anyhow, the battle between the two, with Merk1e as a possibility, will be interesting, and with McGraw a judge there is no doubt of the right man being selected. It is good tim Der to hew, too.

CAN LUSH MAKE
 GOOD AT FIRST?

McGraw's tactics are puzZling some of the youngsters who are trying for a place on the New York team Yes terday, and again this morning, the lea der of the Giants played Lush on first base. This youngster, practical ly fresh from college, came to Mc- Graw as an outfielder, but he is such a good pupil and hits and runs well that McGraw is trying him out in the. infield. and his first lesson has been very encouraging.
 Fred Penney is not in Marlin and it is doubtful if he will get any of the spring practice. He had an operation performed on his heels, but the parts are still too tender to work on, and it begins to look now as if Penney will De of little use to the Giants this year. So McGraw is mak- ing preparations to have first base covered. It is a race between MerfIe and Lush, with Merk1e slightly in the lead. But if Lush continues to inn prove, MerkIe will lose out.
