The Police Commission, at it's
weekly meeting yesterday afternoon,

when he went home to lunch he fell
asleep. He was reprimanded
The d. and A. T. and T. Company

will allow no free telephones. Such
service was extended in the homes of
the city linemen, and as the telephones
are needed, the commissioners decided
to continue them at the expense Of
the department.
James p. Warren, of No. 1914 Gill

pointed patrolman to succeed U. G.

The Garrick is the centre Of attrac-

bill Of superlative merit. There
isn't a weak spot, not a dull moment
in the entire three hours Il is on,
and there is small wonder that the

1t is no matter for surprise that The
Hypocrites" has been such an unqali-
ned success. II the authors title TO
greatness rested upon the third act
alone his play would still be worthy
of high place in dramatic literature.
The Hypocrites." however. has much
more than one good act to recommend
It, It has even an unusually good last
act The entire production at the
Avenue Theatre is one deserving and
receiving great praise. In a cast ol
general excellence IL seems unfair e

DAM EXPERT FEARS
PLANS WERE IGNORED

Il drew plans for the strengthening
OF the Bayless dam more than two
years ago" said e. Wegmann, con-
sulting engineer of the Croton Aque-
duct and author of several standard
works upon dam buildings yesterday.
IF the improvements were not made
It appears to me that the blame for
the accident rests solely upon some
ones attempt at too economical a man
agement
"I was interested in the Bayless
dam by T. Chalkley Hatton, the en-
gineer who designed the work. He
wrote TO me that the dam was be-
gining to move.
MY plans called for a heavy rein
forcement Of the cement work, but
particularly for the sinking of a wall
at the water line that would go down
10 imperyious strata I thought this
most important, as ! found the dam
rested upon soft sandstone, through
which the water had begun to pene-
trate, thus undermining the entire
structure.

ders on Arabia. In official circles here
it is believed that the Porte would be
willing to yield Tripoli if Italy would
apply a reasonable compensation and
also agree to a suzerainty by the Sui
tan. This latter condition would be
of no practical effect but would help
the Sultan TO save his face in the Mo-
hammedan world.

BAYLESS REPLIES
no HATTON'S CHARGE

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Oct. 4.-The
attention Of President George G. Bay
less Of the Bayless Pulp and Paper
Company was called to the statement
Of the designing engineer, T. Chalkley
Hatton OF Wilmington, Del, that If
the recommendations made by him
and f. Wagmann had been carried
out the Austin disaster could not have
happened.
Mr.. Bayless said Mr.. Hatton's rec
concentrations were made with the
idea of making repairs to the dam so
that the water could be increased to a
depth OF fifty feet, so that if it ever
became necessary to fill it up the con-
struction would stand the pressure.
He said:
This improvement we made by
blasting out and removing a portion
Of the spillway, which was done in a
manner to insure perfect safety, and
we had no doubt that the dam would
then sustain the heavy pressure of a
larger body OF water We prepared
to build another dam in order 10 make
sure to relieve the pressure on the
other one. While certain repairs
we're made for the purpose, we never
attempted to carry fifty feet of water
IN the enclosure. We did not need
that amount af water. Ordinarily we
carried about forty feet, which was
sufficient to furnish us needed power.
mot having visited the place yet,
| would not care to advance my per-
sonal. opinion as TO how the break
occurred.
I'VE are going to detail expert en-
gineers to the scene to make a sci
entific investigation. ! believe that
will be the best way in which TO as
certain just what did cause the wall
to break.
"In the summer time, during dry
seasons. we kept a man at the gate
constantly to regulate the amount of
water and keep It at height that
was necessary. This man was not sta
TONED there at the time of the acci-
dent, as II was past the time that we
thought necessary TO have him remain
there"
The dam was built OF cyclopear
! concrete stones, measuring from one
half TO two cubic yards and surround
ed by not less than six inches OF con
orete, generally more. The construc
i ton was carried on by the @. J. Brint
1 nall Company of Binghamton, N. Y, ol
a percentage plan. The dam was be

The Controller Bay Episode
From the New York Sun

From the New York Sun.
BY every device Of delay within their
power the majority members Of the House
committee on expenditures in the Inte-
rior Department sought to give cur ency
and substance to the Infamous attack on
the honesty OF the President o" the
United States contained in the forged
'Dick-to-Dick" letter which was so glee-
fully circulated by the enemies of Mr..
Taft last summer. They refused to make
that good faith and their official duty re-
quired while Congress was In extraordi-
nary session. They now intend to drop
the Controller bay inquiry without ex-
posing the nature Of this vicious assault
on the honor OF the chief executive. Even
the poor satisfaction of a belated certifi-
cate Of character is to be denied him,
while the punishment of the forger is
treated as a possibility entirely to be
ignored.

The Organic Act.

II would be time wasted to discuss
whether there is or is not technically an
organic act The words are used for con-
venience to indicate In brief the organic
ing legis alton Of 1878. which established
as the permanent commission form OF Dis
trict government the partnership arrange
ment between nation and capital, OF which
the vital feature is the half-and-half di-
vision of municipal expenses between the
partners.
Since the Constitution of the United
States can be amended, and since every
law enacted by Congress is subject to
amendment. no one has contended or ever
will contend that the Districts organic
act Is sacrosanct and cannot be amended.
Washington does most earnestly con-
tend. however. that In justice and equity
and In pursuance of patriotism and ma
tional pride In wise capital upbuilding.s 1t
ought not to be amended on the vital
point of half contribution by the nation.
And as Washington views the preserva-
ton Of this statute in letter and spirit as
an absolute necessity of it's welfare, the
loyal Washingtonian may be pardoned If
In his own mind he clothes this law with
some of the attributes Of sanctity.
Latter-day assaults upon the organic
act have not taken the shape Of PROPOSE
tons to repeal it, or even of efforts to re-
duce directly the percentage Of national
contribution The law has been permitted
to stand verbally, while in specific ap-
preparations its terms have been violated.
If suburban street extension, Fairgrounds,
water supply, police and firemen's PEN
sions. etc, can be excepted permanently
from the application Of the statute. there
is precedent for excepting In succession
every municipal expenditure. beginning
with schools and ending with the item Of
interest and sinking fund to meet the
funded debt.
The organic act ought not to be repealed
or amended directly or destroyed by indi
rection through exceptions, violating its
letter and spirit. 1t ought not to be cleo
trocuted, or dismembered by wild horses,
or picked to pieces by pismires."
