RULES AGAINST RESERVOIR
John J. DeIany's Report as Ke1-
cree FavorS Taxpayer.

Former CORPORATION Counsel Jonh d.
Delany filed his report yesterday as reieio.
I'm an action to prevent the construction Vi
the Patterson Reservoir, in which he hhos
that the reservoir is unnecessary ana tha'
its construction would be a waste OF pubic
money. The estimated cost OF the resei
voir was about s3.50O0O0.
The proceeding in which Mr.. Delany was
appointed referee was brought by james ~
Killough as taxpayer for an fnjunctioh u
restrain former Mayor Mcclellan, former
Controller Metz and the Aqueduct Conmis-
sioners, Ten Eyck, Cowan. Windolph anu
Ryan. who were removed from ONCE os
Mayor Gaynor, from going ahead with ine
necessary steps for the construction OF the
proposed Patterson Reservoir. In the north-
east region of the Croton system.
Mr.. Delany found that the old Aqueduct
Commission did not give any public near
ing on the proposed reservoir and old not
submit their plans and maps for the ap-
prevail of the Commissioner of Water sup
ply, Gas and Electricity. The referee said
also that for a long period the commission
held meetings at which Mayor Mcclellan
and Controller Metz were not present.
James II. Fuertes. of Brooklyn, a hy-
draulic and sanitary engineer. testlfylng
before Referee Delany, said that he had
made a special study of the conditions ex-
listing in the Croton watershed from time
to time, and had made a special report on
them to the Merchants Association sub
sequent to 1900. He said he visited the site
of the proposed reservoir in June, 1903,
before the beginning CT Killough's &C
ton, and found that II would be within the
limits of the present Croton watershed,
and would not make available any adj
ditional water from an extraneous water
shed. 1t would be of no value to the
Croton watershed system, he said.
Frederick B. De Berard, statistician TO
the Merchants Association. testified that
ii would be a waste of public money TO
construct this reservoir. il would have
no useful function to fulfil upon the compile
ton of the CatskiH system.
Frank H. Warden. the assistant to the
secretary of the present Aqueduct Commits
sioners. testified that w. II. Sears. the
chief engineer to the old commission in 1908
and 1909. had recommended the construc-
ton of the proposed reservoir. and the
commission had approved his report. He
said that the Department of Water Supply,
Gas and Electricity had been asked for its
approval but had withheld IL.
The Supreme Court will now consider Mr..
Delany's report for confirmation.

BERLIN BOY TRUMPETER
GUILTY OF LESE MAJESTY.
Sounded ROYAL Bugle Blast and Shock.
ed Police Nerves.

A boy with a toy trumpet upset the
tranquility of Schoneberg, a suburb of
Berlin, the other day and at the same
time committed an act of lese majestic
which is occupying the serious atten-
ton of the police.
When the German emperor or mem
bers of his family go about in automo-
biles they do not depend upon the
honk- -honk of the common motor horn
to clear passage for them through
the streets. Instead trumpeter Is
seated alongside the driver, and the
sound of his bugle blast Is familiar
enough to bring traffic to an immediate
halt to allow the royal car to pass
while the populace crowds the side
walks to get a glimpse of the royal
parsonage
The boy in question was playing on
toy trumpet on a second floor bal
cony. The royal bugle blast had be-
come familiar to him, and without con-
sidering the consequences he sounded
it upon the trumpet with such fidelity
that the street below was instantly In
state of commotion. The sidewalks
were lined with loyal subjects anxious
to salute the imperial automobile. A
lieutenant in full uniform who was
crossing the street clicked his heels
and sprang stiffly to attention in the
middle of the road.
Three minutes passed, but no car
appeared. The boy then brought about
his own undoing by repeating the
blast, thus revealing the source of the
signal.
After moment of Mortified astonish-
ment at the boys presumption the OFF,
Ger hurried around the corner for po-
liceman. Returning with one, he tndi-
Gated the house and in sharp tones of
command ordered the policeman to do
his duty. The policeman saluted. has
tened upstairs and confscated the
trumpet The boys parents are now
anxiously awaiting the consequences.

SMOKING CAUSE OF CRIME.
Italian Government Abolishes Tobao-
co.'s Use by Juveniles.

The royal commission appointed by
the Italian government to inquire into
the causes and practicable remedies
for juveline crime in Italy has recon-
mended the adoption of legislation SIM
liar to that recently passed in Great
Britain for the suppression of smoking
among children.
1t is proposed to forbid boys and
girls under sixteen to smoke or carry
smoking materials, while persons sup
plying young people with tobacco
would be liable to fine of 500. Par
ents and guardians permitting smoking
among their charges would be liable
to prosecution.
The commission further urges that
teachers, employers, the police and
government inspectors should be en-
powered to confscate smoking ma
terials found on children under age In
schools, workshops and public places.
The success of the new legislation In
England is apparent, smoking in public
by children having been effectually
suppressed.

DESERTED VILLAGES REvIvING
Maine's Abandoned Communities Get
New Lease of Life.

Maine has had her deserted farms,
and now and then one can find her de-
serted villages. Such one is WEIGH
vile, in the town and county of Ok
ford, where once the pulse and ma
ehinery kept life beating fast in a
thriving little community.
Today the population is scattering,
on the farms thereabouts chiefly, while
the change in the value of the proper
ty is indicated by the story recently
related of the sale of a two and a
half story house for SITS which was
worth $1,000 seventy-five years ago.
But the number of such towns is
small Maine is building up fast Her
deserted farms are being taken up,
sometimes by progressive young farm
ers and again by summer people, and
the deserted Maine villages promised
a new lease of life.

"sUNDoWN" DOCTORS ONLY.
Found Only Among Government EN-
pIoyees at Washington.

"Sundown doctors" are an institution
peculiar to Washington. They are ply
sicians who practice their profession
only after sundown.
From 8 in the morning until half
past 4 O'Clock in the afternoon they
are holding down desks in various de-
partments of the federal government.
when their daily task for Uncle Sam
is done they take up that pertaining
to their profession.
There are many sundown doctors in
the employ Of the government at
Washington In many cases medical
students with little means secure clerk
ships in the departments In order that
they may provide themselves with a
living while they are finishing their
medical courses.
Their diplomas thus laboriously ac-
uuired, they enter tentatively upon the
practice Of medicine, holding on, how
ever, to their government jobs until
they shall be firmly established pro-
fessionally.
Nor are all sundown doctors mere
clerks. Not few Of them hold chief
ships of divisions, circumstance
which, of course, renders the act OF
resignation from the government serv-
Ice still more unlikely event than in
the case of simple clerk. No matter
how earnestly q sundown doctor may
tell himself that some day he will quit
the departmental service to engage ex
clusively In the practice Of his profes
sion, he generally deceives himself.

DIVORCED BRIDES AGE EIGHT
Abyssinian Record Separation Caused
by Intriguing Aunt.

The youngest divorced couple In the
world are to be found in the court OF
Abyssinia. On May III. 1909. the Prin-
cess Romanic Onosk was married to the
Prince Lidj Eyassu. the heir apparent,
the bride then being eight years OF
age and the bridegroom fourteen.
Now they have been divorced.
1t is not a question of fault on either
side, no incompatibility of temper,
none of the causes which figure so
frequently in usual divorce division.
The princess happens to be the niece
of the Empress Taitu, and this lady
is not popular with the regents OF the
country. So to prevent the empires
exercising any baneful influence upon
the future rulers wife the statesmen
have required the prince to divorce
her.

The Germanization of Palestine is
proceeding rapidly. In the early fif-
ties of the nineteenth century a body
OF Germans calling themselves Tenn
plars left their native land for Pales-
tine. These early pilgrims were well
supplied with money. Each of them
bought land and built a house for HIM
