Early yesterday morning Borup and
Case started In the direction Of New Lon

Nothing was seen of the two young men
and their craft until 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, when one or two persons on the
Shore including Harry Gardner of Mill
stone, a quarry owner, who has a fast
motor boat which he keeps here. saw it
two miles of Crescent Beach on its return
trip. AS he watched the little craft it
was capsized.
Mr.. Gardner got out his boat. and at
its best speed went to the overturned
craft. When he had covered half of the
distance he was able to make out q man
clinging to the canoe, but whether it was
Borup or Case he could not determine.
When he reached the canoe the figure
was gone. Only q coat and cap floating

COMMISSIONERS OPPOSE
WATER RATE MEASURE
Send UnfavorabIe Report to
Congress on Senator
GaIIinger's Bill.

Advancing practically the same reasons
upon which they based their decision to
order an increase In the water rates,
which Is to become effective July 1 next,
the District Commissioners today sent to
Congress an unfavorable report on the
bill Of Senator Gallinger to fix the rates
for water furnished private consumers in
the District at cents a hundred cubic
feet, with a minimum rate of $40 per
annum, which shall allow the use Of
1900 cubic feet of water annually
Water used in excess Of this quantity, it
is provided by the Gallinger bill, shall
be charged for at the rate Of } cents a
hundred cubic feet.
The new rates ordered by the Commits
siOners include a minimum rate of 81. 30
per annum for each consumer, allowing
the use of 1850 cubic feet of water dur
ing the fiscal year. water used In excess
Of this quantity to be charged for at the
rate Of 4 cents a hundred cubic feet.
Report of City Heads.
"The new rates established by the Com
missioners." states their report, ARE less
than the rates charged elsewhere and
less than the cost Of the service. IL in

Inc new rates HXeO Dy the COHmlS-
sioners raised very slightly the fiat rate
as well as the meter rate, and the in
creased receipts during the next few
years will enable the Commissioners to
complete the metering of the city, thus
postponing indefinitely the expenditure of
several millions Of dollars for increasing
the water supply: and when those who
constitute the greater number of con-
sumers are supplied with meters. even at
the new rates, they will pay, for the most
