committee on municipal legislation by the
executive committee of the chamber.
1T is assumed that the Commissioners
are given power by Congress to regulate
and fix to a certain extent the rates to
<be charged for water. How far this au-
thority goes 1t is not necessary to in
auire in the consideration at the present
time. The proposition-or IL may more
properly, perhaps, be called a suggestion
is that the water rates should be in
! creased in order to cover the cost of
installing the water registers iii houses.
Your committee is Of the opinion that
there is no necessity of such an in
crease in rates. for the following reasons:
Use of Surplus Suggested.
appropriations for other departments
Of the District of Columbia are payable
out Of the general revenue of the District.
But the appropriations for the water de-
partment are payable solely out of its
own revenue. In other words, the water
department is self-supporting. During the
last year there was a surplus Of revenue
over its cost and expenses Of over $751;
600. and with careful management your
committee believes that in the coming
years even larger surplus can be Great
ed and saved, and that this surplus will
be sufficient to install water meters in
houses from year to year There is no
absolute necessity for the immediate in
stallatfon of meters in all houses. The
use of water meters is yet. in some par
ticulars, in its experimental stage, and
there may be other means suggested in
the near future, then by the water
register or by Improvement in it, for
raising the revenue to cover the costs
of the administration and operation of
the water department.
For these and other reasons which
naturally suggest themselves, and which
may be stated in argument of this ques-
ton before the chamber or before the
& .nr,,r mis- of the DiSfricf
bia or committees Of Congress, il the
matter is further considered by those
bodies your committee is OF the opinion
that there is at present no necessity for .
an increase in the water taxes OF the

TripoIi Under Dominion of Tur-
key for Centuries.
ARABS IN LARGE MAJORITY
MANY Hebrews Also Are Included in
the Population.
EUROPEANS NUMBER BUT 5000
Entire Area Estimated at About
100000 Square Miles-Products
Are Agricultural.

Although Tripoli was not formally de-
clared a Turkish vilayet until 1885, it has
been under Turkish domination from the
sixteenth century. the only interruption
being in 1714. when the Arab population
contrived TO gain a slight measure of in
dependence. The Sanjek of Benghazi has
been administered separately for a little
less than forty years.
The chief authority, both civil and mill
tary, in Tripol rests with the governor
general under whom are a number of
lesser officials with authority over sub
ordinate governments, cantons or dis
tricts Sheiks still possess authority over
various Arab tribes, and Berber assem-
blies still raise taxes. BenGhazi has a
mutessarif, who is diretcly responsible to
the porte. In general throughout the
country all important officials are Turks.
People Mostly Berber.
The western boundary of Tripoi as far
south as Ghadames was settled by
France and Turkey in 1892 but the
southern limit still remains unfixed. The
entire area under Turkish domination is
estimated at about 4O6.nO0 square miles.
with a population of from 10000 to
1,'",ooo. about two-fifths of the inhabi
people generally are Berber but there
are very many Jews.
The European population amounts to
about 5000, mostly Maltese and Italian.
Arabic is generally spoken, although
Turkish is the official language The
principal towns are on the coast and in
Guide Tripoli, with more than 10000 in
habitants; Benghazi, with more than 3D.
"n; Derne and khoms. The most inn
portant inland settlements are the cara
van hating places of Ghadames, Murzuk
and Chat.
The revenue of the vilayet, not calcu-
lating what is assigned to the Turkish
debt. is derived from customs. land taxes
and tithes.
Tripoli is occupied at all times by a
force of about 10000 Turkish troops.
There was formerly a sort of reserve con-
about the capital. who enjoyed certain
privileges in return for nominal military
service. but the force was disbanded a
few years ago. There is no CONSUMPTION,
although an effort has been made to es-
tablish a small militia force.
Products of Country.
The products of the country are arr.
cultural only and are scanty. Barley,
wheat. dates. olives. oranges and lemons
are grown to an extent sufficient to per-
NIT Of their expectation in small quaint
ties, and cattle and sheep are bred for
the market by a few stock raisers There
Is considerable caravan trade between
Benghazi and Wadai and between Trip
oil and central Sudan when the routes
are free from raiders. Ostrich feathers
brought from central Africa to Tripoli
for export to Paris and London form an
important staple of the caravan trade.
All the overland trading is done by cara
vans. which follow routes that have been
traversed for centuries
Tripoli is connected by telegraph with
Murzuk. in Fezzan. and Gabes, in Tunis,
and with Malta by cable.

Conservation of Water.
If the metering were not done, as pro-
posed. in the immediate future. it would
not be too soon now to contemplate the
expenditure of millions Of dollars for an
additional water supply. With the me-
tiers installed no further consideration
need be given to an increase of supply
until the city has grown to twice its pres
ent size, for with meters the large period

consumers now unnecessarily open their
fixtures to prevent freezing, may be ex-

this step without the most careful consid-
Grafton.
conservation should be something
more than a sentiment. and the metering
Of the water supply publicly furnished IN

Other Interesting Cases.

Other interesting cases await argument
before the District Court of Appeals
when it reconvenes Monday. On the
signment is the appeal of Peter G.. Thorn
son of Hamilton. Ohio. president of the
Champion Coated Paper Company from
the ruling of Justice Wright that the
indictment charging Thomson with brib-
cry in connection with payment of 500
to Maj. w. p. Zantzinger. postal card
agent of the United States, is valid.
Thomson demurred to the Indictment,
claiming Zantzinger was not a de jure''
officer of the government and not SUBJ
ject to bribery. The court held that
Zantzinger was filling the position and
actually performing the duties as contem-
plated by the law and any attempt to
bride such an acting official constituted
crime.
The appeal of Matte e. Lomax, the first
woman to be sentenced to death by

Sanctioned in War Time.

Counsel for the brokers point out that
ten years ago Congress expressly sane
toned the operation OF bucket shops.
when it amended the war revenue bill by
including proper and legal subjects of
taxation "alI persons and corporations
who conduct what is commonly known
as a bucket shop
The brief of counsel for the brokers
also claims that the Chicago Board of
Trade is. the largest bucket shop in the
world" and declares il was denomi-
mated in cited decision of d United
States circuit court. Counsel ittimates
that the prosecution of the so-calIed
bucket shops Is in the interest of the
Chicago Board of Trade. and says: IF
Congress has now said that a certain
thing is criminal which ten years ago 1t
implicitly said was legal, then so be it.
But if Congress has not said 1t, then no
matter what it intended to ray and no
matter what 1t might have said. this
court certainly is not called upon to be
the guardian of the interests of the Chi
cago Board of Trade, or through judicial
legislation to supply the shortcomings OF
the legislature"
The brief supports the finding of Justice
Wright that Congress in attempting the
legislation against bucket shops went too
far and by the wording of the statute
prohibited the making of any contract,
against the express provision of the Con-
Stitution.
