some months after the panic had been

express such disbelief unless prepared to
be greeted with derision by every human
being who KIN " anything whatever of

Certain other questions related to the
alleged fact that during the past four
years the ore lands formerly owned by
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
have been developed until they are of
such enormous Importance as to give to
the steel corporation nearly complete
control of the steel business, through-con-
troll of the sources of the raw material.
Whether or not this is so has no bear

ago. The purchase mIde id not by

Two Means Of Supply.

According TO the army engineers the
great advantages of the PatuXent supply
would be I'm having two means of water
supply entirely separated, and in avoiding
the necessity of pumping the water to the
filter beds. They are not prepared to
say, however. that these advantages over
balance the known disadvantages. among
which are mentioned the construction
of a dam, the purchase of large tracts OF
land, the diversion OF sewage withiA the
drainage area the raising of roads, the
building of bridges. the necessity of OBJ
tanning legal authority from the state OF
Maryland and the consideration Of
claims for lost water rights which might
arise from riparian owners of land be-
low the reservoir.
Reports to the War Department show
that either OF the additional condIits
from Great Falls could be completed In
from four to five years time and the
aaueduct from the Patuxent river i'm from
four to six years time. Regarding the
neers that lit offers advantages justi-
flying it's adoption as against the Great
Falls project even at an increased cost
of nearly $1.O00.Uo.
Their reports show that the present
maximum capacity OF the Washington
and that the average consumption is
about 6l.OOO.0O gallons a day In his re-
port Maj. Morrow said that il the waste
of water was prevented by the extension
of the meter system TO cover all services
there >ould be no necessity for providing
for an increased water supply for the
District for at least twenty years. Pres
ent operations in connection with the Pa
tuXent river it is stated, are based on
the fact that Congress has failed to make
any provision for extension of the me-
ter system to private services in ths Dis
trict.

ROOSEVELT AGAIN
JUST|F|ES HIS ACT
Writes in the Outlook of His
Recent Appearance Before
Steel Probing Committee. ;

NEW YORK, August 17.-EX-President
Roosevelt has an article on The Steel
CORPORATION and the Panic of 1907 in the
Outlook appearing today. Mr.. Roosevelt
discusses his recent appearance before
the congressional committee investigating
the steel corporation. repeating the writ
ten statement he then presented. and
dealing with some of the lines of inquiry
and his responses. He says:
.On Saturday. August ). in compliance
with the request of the chairman of the
congressional committee investigating the
absorption OF the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company by the steel corporation

Nobody need feel either concern or
hone as to whether anything done by my
administration will be disc overed.' Ior the
excellent reason that there is nothing
that was hidden.
II made to the committee the statement
which follows. Several questions were
tben asked by different members of the
committee. Most of these questions dealt
with matters not of sufficient moment to
warrant alusion 10 them here. Many OF
them were as to what my belief was con-
concerning the motives of the stetl cor
poration people in acquiring the Tennes-
see Coal and Iron Company's property.
to which, of course. my answer was that
II vas not my business and neither was 1t
I'm nv power to search the hidden domain
or motive and that my action was condi
toned not upon what l believed to be the
motives actuating the steel corporation.
but upon my belief that the action which
they proposed taking would be enor-
mously to the benefit of the community
AZ large at that particular moment.
Whether the chief motive for their action
was a desire to absorb the Tennessee
coal and Iron Company. or whether their
chief motive was to save the threatened
New York firm from failure. and thereby
stop the panic, was of no concern to me-

A COOLING SHAMPOO
FOR SUMMER MONTHS

Because OF profuse perspiration
and excessive oiliness of the scalp in
summertime writes Mrs. Mae Mar
tyn, in the Los Angeles Globe, many
women find the hair difficult TO man
age. Ordinary shampoo mixtures fail
to remove all dust and oil. and invari-
ably leave the hair stringy and matted.
THE simplest and best thing with
which TO cleanse both scalp and hair
is plain canthrox. \ teaspoonful OF
canthrox dissolved in cup of hot
water Is enough for a good shampoo
and little at time poured on the
head and rubbed briskly creates i
white. thick lather, wonderfully cool
ing and soothing. Rinsing leaves the
scalp and hair delightfully."- clean and
the hair dries quickly. taking on a
beautiful brilliancy and softness."

Favor Additional Conduit.

The army engineers ana Alien ftdZen, a
civil engineer of New York, who jointly
made an exhaustive study OF the question
Of increasing the water supply of the Dis
trict, are on record as favoring either an
other conduit from the Great Falls OF the
Potomac or one from the Patuxent river.
They considered and rejected projects for
such increase by other methods. such as
by pumping from the Little Falls of the
Potomac; by pumping from Washington
harbor; By gravity from Seneca creek
about nine miles above Great Falls; from
the upper branches of the Potomac about
100 miles above Great Falls; from Rock
creek by dam just above the Military
road, and a supply from ground water
sources to be obtained by sinking deep
wells.
Another plan for increasing the water
supply involved raising The crest of the
dam at Great Falls an addition height
of two and a half feet either by perma-
nent construction or by the use or flash
boards designed to be carried away at
freshet stages. Still another plan involved
the construction Of a pumping station at
Dalecarlia reservoir.
All the plans were dismissed from fur
ther consideration, however. except those
contemplating a gravity supply from
Great Falls and gravity supply from
the Patuxent river. Two routes were
suggested for the additional conduit from
construction OF the conduit over one Of
these routes was So, $40. .3SI, while the es-
timated cost of the other was $4,333 $50
Each plan included the construction of a
masonry bridge across Rock Creek valley
In the park. and the crossing Of Cabin
John valley by an inverted siphon on a
masonry bridge. together with gatehouses
drains, pumping equipment, etc.

Acting on the general theory that an

manded by the people of the District in
| the natural course of events. Col. Lang
fit and Capt Hannum. the army en-
gineers in charge of the water supply
system are making Investigations and
surveys to determine the availability and
adaptability of the Patuxent river in
Maryland for that purpose. The work is
being done in conformity with provision
of the District of Columbia appropra-
ton act of 1911. which appropriated FS %

the preliminary surveys of the Patuxent
river made in 1905
In report to the War Department Col.
Langfitt states that the present project
involves typographical surveys in detail

the Patuxent river and to make an IN
vestigaton of the watershed. rainfall
run-off, etc. in order to determine the
suitability and adaptabilit of the river
as a source of supply for the District OF
Columbia.
The work involves also the preparation
of estimates of cost for special use In
comparing the cost of utilizing the Patux
ent river as source Of supply with the
cost of constructing an additional conduit
over new route from the Great Falls
of the Potomac river
A tide gauge has been set at the Colum-
bia turnpike bridge, over the PatuXent
river. a few miles west and north OF
Laurel Md. and readings of the eleva-
ton of the water are taken daily. The
flow of the stream also is being meas
ured at stated intervals by means of
current meter.

Dam for Patuxent River.

The Patuxent river project as roughly
outlined by the army engineers involves
the construction of a dam seventy to
eighty feet high and about 800 feet long
across the Patuxent river. in the gorge
near the Columbia turnpike, a point al
most directly north of this city, and con-
veying the water by gravity. through
pipe lines. direct to the fiter beds at
Mcmillan Park.
1t was calculated that the dam would
form a reservoir in the Patuxent valley
about nine miles in length. including
several tributary streams, and would
provide storage sufficient tor supply of
1000 900 gallons of water a day, even
during the most unfavorable seasons. In
reporting on this project, Maj. Jay j..
Morrow, Corps of Engineers. said that
'the elevation of the reservoir would be
sufficient TO justify the use of smaller
conduit for the same capacity that
would be possible with the small head
obtained at Great Falls and at the same
time the water could be delivered to the
filters at Mcmillan Park by gravity, rem
dering unnecessary the pumpage which
would be required for supply from
Great Falls
He said also that a tunnel approximate
ly three miles long. through the ridge be-
tween the Patuxent valley and the val
ley of the Paint Branch of the Anacostia
river. would bring the water TO point
from which 1t could be led to the filters
pipe conduit. a six-foot conduit probably
being sufficient to double the present
water supply OF about sOOOO,0O0 gallons
