DINNER FOR THE APPRAISER
Twenty ninth District Republi

coed George w. Wanmaker. was the guest
Of honor at a dinner last night given in
Terrace Garden by the Republican district
committee Of the 18th Assembly District,
Of which Mr. Bird is a captain William
Chilvers, leader of the district, presided
over a notable assembly of Republicans.
The dinner was remarkable, as ex-State
Senator Nathaniel A Elsberg remarked,
because il was rendered to one of those
rarest Of all birds in Republican circles
IN this state-a man who had landed a real,
live job The sentiment Of the speakers
in regard to this rare specimen Of the
winged tribe was eptomized in the words
of John Henry Hammond a former leader
of the district "The Bird we have is a
good game bird. In fact he has been a
good egg from the beginning
Mr. Bird, in acknowledging the tributes
Of his district associates. said that it was
of the greatest importance to a party
that its district committees should have
on them men who typihed the highest
Ideals of the party. since il was from the
district leaders that the average voter
formed the opinion of the party's candi-
Gates and principles. Referring to the
work which Is ahead Of him, he pointed
out his full realization of the difficulty OF
steering between that most ins.dious meth

Ing unnecessary assstants-on the one
hand, and falling properly to recognize his
party organization, on the other.

u. S. MEXlCO'S BEST FRIEND
Madero Would Suppress Any
Feelings Against Americans.

Juarez, May 2i.-If Francisco l. Madero,
jr.. should become President of Mexico,
the United States will have good friend
at the head Of its neighborng republic,
according to what he told a delegation of
city officials from FL Paso who called on
the provisional President to-day.
Madero said that if he ever took part In
the government of Mexico he would make
every effort TO suppress any sentiment
against Americans. He would spread the
gospel throughout the country that the
United States was MeXico's best friend.
Senior Madero was satisfied that the
United States cherished no desire for ter

MAY TAP FlSHKILl CREEK
City Will Try to Get Permission
at ALBANY to Use It.

Commissioner Thompson OF the Depart
ment of Water Supply will have a bill in
troduced at Albany within day or two
TO amend the law preventing New YORK
city from taking water from Dutchess
County to such an extent that the Fishkil
Creek may he tapped for two or three
years The plan is to run pipeline down
from this stream to the Catskill Aqueduct
at Storm King This aqueduct will be COM
pleted to Croton Lake by January l. and at
that time the Fishkill Creek water could be
piped into the Croton system through this
line.
OF course. this water would not be avail
able until the first Of the year. and does not
offer any hope OF warding off a famine
that might come In September or October
next. but such a supply would obviate the
danger of a water famine after that time.
When the Catskill system is entirely COM
pleted the Fishkil supply would be given
up.
commissioner Thompson said yesterday
that he did not know just how much such
a line would cost or just what amount OF
water could be obtained in that way. but
2 complete report was being prepared.
Figures received by Commissioner
Thompson yesterday show that the daily
water consumption in Manhattan and The
Bronx il now 100000. 900 gallons as COM
pared with $4,000. 900 gallons a year ago.
As the engineers have looked for an in
crease IN consumption of about 10000. 600
gallons a year, il is seen that the actual
saving at this time is at the rate of about
RI 0Gu. 600 gallons n day.
at IS really wonderful what good re-
suits we hive obtained I'm the way of cut
ting down the consumption by putting the
facts before the public through tho news
