Cheering and 'Ragtime.'

Boston, Dec. 2S.-College cheering, ard

"One of the saddest things is to 90

alumni, and note the kind of music they
have at their dinners. II is .Tagtime. and
ragtime of very poor quality They
seem 10 care very little for good music.
What they want is a catchy song. some
thing they can join in after exhausting
their voices in organized cheering.
"Of al the means of expressing emo
ton. organized cheering is worst, from
every point of view. II is bad for the
throat. for one thing II has less modu-
latiOn. less means Of expressing degrees
and varieties OF emotion OF any kind than
any other form Of expression except d

our people are. totally deficient in the
power Of expressing any Of the finer
qualities of emotion in common. Their
effort takes a conventional form which
is barren, meager, and poor. The most
effective and natural for mof expressing
emotion is music
The place of real expression OF emo
ton at alumni dinners has been taken
by organized cheering That shows that
men who have the highest education we
can give are wholly lacking in those
more delicate qualities of expressing
emotion.

was practically no cheering when I was
in college. II we are right in saying the
music is the natural form of expressing
emotion at the present day, this present

President of Water Company Writes
to the Water Board Another
Proposition,

President Woodbury. of the Water COM
pany has again written to the Omaha water
board, suggesting a way in which the new
main from the pumping station at Florence

was delivered to the water board in Omaha
today, reads:
NEW YORK, May 4, 19lO.-To the Water
Board OF the City OF Observation-Disclosures
In common with the intelligent citizens Of
Omaha, the Omaha Water company recog-
nizes the fact that an additional main to
Florence is sorely needed for the safety and
good service to the citizens of Omaha.
'on July. o. 1905, / wrote your honorable
board stating that the board of directors
had authorized me to say that the Water
company will undertake to lay so much of
new main between Florence and Omaha as
may be necessary, provided the water board
will enter into an agreement, binding upon
the city, to pay the company upon compile
ton OF any portion of the works the total
cost Of such improvements, with per cent
interest in addition to what would other
wise be the purchase price
To this letter l receive no reply. so on
October % OF the same year I again wrote
to the water board reiterating the offer, to
which received no reply.
On July l. 1910 the city OF Omaha will
owe the Omars Water company with ac-
erued interest approximately $4,000 for
past due unpaid hyirant rental. II the city
will pay the company this money 1 will

the proposition made in our former letters.

The Evidence Points to Double
Murder on Shores of
Italian Lake.
TORN CLOTHING FOUND
INDICATING MAN WAS SLAIN
Thorough Search of Waters and
Surroundings Expected to
Bring Developments.

COMO, Italy, June ia part Of
mans coat. declared by some of his
fishermen ncighbors to have belonged TO
Porter Charlton, was found today in
Lake Como, from tho waters of which
the body of his murdered bride, Mary
Scott Castle Charlton, was recovered
last Friday.
The torn garment was hshed up from
the bottom Of the lake near the spot
where the trunk containing the body OF
the woman was found
Today's discovery strengthens the
theory OF many that n double murder
was committed. This is the view Of
Charles NJ. Caughy, the American con-
sui at Milan, who believes Charlton met
the same fate as his wife. Earlier evil
dence that both of the Americans were
killed. presumably for their valuables,
was found in the blood spattered bed

quaintance of the Charltons, from whom
they leased the villa. remains in Gus
tody. He maintains bis self possession
and insists that he knows nothing as
TO how or by whom the crime was COM
mitted
On the supposition that Lake Como
contains the body of Charlton, thor
ough search of it's bottom and shores
was begun today. The work was
started in the vicinity of the spot from
which the fishermen had drawn the
trunk with its gruesome contents to the
ot no bp
searchers were rewarded by the finding
of the portion of man IS coat. This
was exhibited among the fisher folks
and others IN tho vicinity who had seen
the Charltons and some of these de-
clared at once that it was part of
suit which the young American had
worn.
Police Have Clues.
Furt-er support of the double murder
theory developed as the day progressed.
IL had been known that the police were
IN possession of several clues. leading,
1t would appear, to the conclusion that
Charlton had been murdered. They
have, however, been decidedly reticent
regarding their discoveries. This after
noon it was learned that the investiga-
tors had determined that the stone with
which the trunk was weighted had been
taken from the wall of the aqueduct on
the shore of the lake. The stone had
been removed from spot in the wall
opposite the point ut which the trunk
was submerged.
Following up this clue the police dis
covered that another stone exactly similar
in size had been recently dug out OF the
wall. This is held TO be significant.
Tho second stone has not been located
and the police Will not be surprised il
they should find that II was used TO drag
below the surface OF the lake another
trunk or box containing the body OF Por-
ter Charlton.
Isoplatoff later was further interro-
gated this afternoon. The detectives who
questioned him claim that he has repeat
edly told conflicting stories.
