CLARENCE LEXOW
PNEUMONIA
VICTIM
Man Whose Name Became a
Household Word in Connec-
ton With Municipal Reform
Lies Dead in New York.

New York, Dec. S0.-Clarence Lex
,pw, formerly chairman of senate
committee to investigate the city gov
ernment of New York. died at his
home In Nyack, n. Y, today.
Mr.. Lexow was known to the coun-
try over from the committee to which
his name was given. His death was
due to pneumonia. He is survived by
a widow, three children and three
brothers.
Clarence Lexow was born in Brook
lyn in 1852 and graduated from both
Columbia university and the Univer-
sity of Jena. He took UP the practice
of law entered politics and in 1898
was elected to the state senate. In
the year following he was appointed
chairman of the committee to inves
tigate the city government OF New
York, universally known as the Lex
ow committee.
The results were startling. For the
first time the public at large heard
of the police system" The Illicit al
lance between officers high in the
department, and gamblers. proprie-
tors of disorderly houses, hotels and
saloons that violated the excise laws
and other law breakers was uncover
ed The Rev. DR.. Charles Parkhurst
gave testimony that shocked the ma
tion.
Inspector Byrnes, at that time per-
haps the best known police officer In
the world. resigned The whole de-
pa1tment was shaken from top to bot
tom. The excise laws were revised
and "Rains law hotels began to be
known. In fact the methods and
much of the material of the Lexow
committee have been fruitfully avail
able ever since Fer many cities in the
throes of reform.
In additions to his services as chair
man of the Lexow committee he was
chairman of the joint legislative COM
mittee that drafted the bill charter
ing the city Of Greater New York His
interest in reform extended to party
primaries and q bill regulating them
bears his name.
In recent years he devoted himself
to his law practice and private husi
ness. At the time of his death he was
a director in many companies.

Topeka, Kas, Dec. 30.-J. X.
Koontz, general freight agent of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-

ment about the adjustment of freight
rates on wheat from Kansas City and
Wichita to Galveston, referred TO by
Governor Stubbs in his speech at San
Antonio and in his letters to President
Ripley. Mr.. kocntz' statement fol-
lDws.
THE governor SAYS that this adjust .
lnent is costing the fdi mers of Kansas
many millions of dollars. The COM
parison which the governor makes is
as against a rate of 1Sn cents from
Kansas City to Galveston when for ex-
port The rate from Wichita, as fixed
by Judge Prouty. of the interstate
commerce commission, was 20 cents
per hundred pounds. At the time
Judge Prouty fixed the 25 cents rate
from Wichita. he had full and COM
plete information before him as to the
existence of the proportional rate OF
1s1k cents from Kansas City to the
gulf.

ARIZONA ASYLUM HEAD
AND SLOAN'S PRIVATE
SECRETARY RESIGN

cial changes of Importance were made
public today. DR.. j. A. Ketcherside,
superintendent of the Arizona asylum

ignation to Governor Sloan to take
effect about the first of the year, and
j. f. Cleaveland will be succeeded by

Douglas, Ariz., Dec. 29.--Tn re-
sponse to a request from Secretary
Grindell OF the Douglas chamber of
commerce and mines for information
regarding the reported discovery of
additional artesian water in the San
Simon valley. the secretary has re-
ceived the following letter from l..
Grant Duncan. who has Just com
pleted a well at San Simon. The news
that this well has resulted In a good
flow of water indicates still brighter
prospects for the agricultural region
where the conditions are very similar
>to those I'm the upper Sulphur Springs
valley. Mr.. Duncan writes:
our well here has not been com
pleted, and although 1t has been flow
ing for some time we have made no
attempt To test nor estimate the
amount of water 1t is furnishing.
The well was started i'm clay and at
a depth of 60 feet q gravel water stra-
tum was encountered: this stratum
continued to a depth of about $50
feet and furnishes plenty of water for
pumping purposes. This water does
not rise. and was therefore cased off.
From the bottom OF this stratum to a
depth of about 700 feet we have drill
ed in clay, with the exception of two
small sand strata, one one at SIS and
the other at $50 feet. Each one of
these sand strata furnished small
amount of water which flowed over
and above the surface. the second
being much the stronger. \ third
