RESERVOIR NO. J

Continued Infection of Tank
in Montgomery Causes
Concern

MONTGOMERY, June 26-(Special.)--As a
result of the continued infection OF res
eryoir No. 5, the largest water tank in
the city, this source of supply may De
condemned and its use discontinued. The
most recent report of City Bacteriologist
B. A. Taylor to the city commission shows
that specimens taken from this reservoir.
and inoculeted for IS hours, showed the
following results: Bacteria per cubic CEN
timeter. 900; tests for colon bacillus neg
alive. Tests made of the water from she
general supply showed 1856 bacteria per
cubic centimeter.
Reservoir No. 5 has a capacity OF 5,o0o,-
900 gallons. This reservoir has long been
a bone of contention. and a number OF
examinations have been made of the wa
ter, all showing that there was more or
less infection.
Numerous causes have been suggested,
none of which seem to have fully ex-
planned the infection. The recent exam
nation of the water contained in the res
ervoir viii probably result in the commits
sion ordering the reservoir discontinued.
Every possible effort will be made, 1t Is
understood, to relieve the cause of infec-
ton, and before the water is again used
this important source of supply will have
to have a clear record.
Repairs will be made on the reservoir,
and the County Health society and the
state bacteriologist will be asked to CO.
operate with the city meteorological de-
partment in determining whether or not
the reservoir is in good condition after the
repairs have been made.

At General Huerta's Federal Head
quarters. June 26.-The request of Gem.
Pascual orozco, the rebel chief, that
General Huerta at Ortiz to respect the
neutrality of a garrison that might be
left to protect the Mexican city of Chi
huahua, IL evacuated by the rebels. was
received here this morning through the

municated his reply through the same
channel as follows:
II will give guarantees to all forces
Orozco may leave to protect the peo-
pic of the city of Chihuahua, provided
those forces have only the character of
police keeping order and guarding the
garrison prison and city penitentiary.
Some of the rebels scouting parties
advanced too closely to Ortiz this MORN
ing and were captured by the federal
vanguard without firing a shot.
Nearly the entire federal army has
crossed the river at Ortiz the artillery
alone awaiting the completion of the
big Ortiz bridge. This. should be fin

1t was learned the government forces
appear to be directing all their eff
forts to reconstruct the big Ortiz
bridge. some miles south of here A
temporary structure is being erected to
replace the costly steel arch destroyed
by retreating rebels.
Federal trains as rule should be
running within day over the now
span and the smaller bridges north of
Ortiz probably win delay the advance
of the government columns only a few
hours. 1t is believed the federals will
be in a position to attack Bachimba
not later than Thursday morning.

THAW AND JEROME
HAVE LONG DEBATE
Former Makes Caustic An
swers to Questions
HOLDS HIS TEMPER
Denies That He Was Expelled From
Harvard-Says Jerome's Parents
Must Feel Ashamed of
Their Son

White Plains, N. Y, June 26.-Harry *.
Thaw and William Travers Jerome had an
all day debate at today's hearing on
Thaw's application for release from the
Matteawan Insane asylum, their frequent
verbal passages at arms keeping the in
terest of the big crowd in court at high
pitch.
Thaw, while not losing his temper at any
stage, flung back some caustic replies TO
leading questions of the attorney Who
was putting Stanford White's slayer
through what is termed mental exam
nation" The witness repeatedly ques-
toned Jerome's motives in appearing as
the leading inquisitor in opposition to
;Thaw's release, and at one point when he
was asked for whom he thought the at
torney was acting. he flung back with
this:
"Mr. Jerome, 1 have been told that when
you sent Abe Hummel up the river-and
you didn't send him up the river. only to
the workhouse-that the mantle of Abe
Hummel fell on the shoulders of William
Trayers Jerome"
Shifts Base of Attack
Mr. Jerome frequently shifted the base
RC1C ~
confusing Thaw Switching abruptly at
one point he asked;
If you were not insane when you shot
White II was murder, was it not?"
1T would be if the jury said so,' Thaw
replied, refusing to lose his calm.
Asked whether he had ever shopped In
England for a Mrs. Paget, whom he men,
toned in his will, Thaw said he had not.
He shopped for cousins of Jerome, he
said, and added:
who certainly must be mighty ashamed
OF YOU"
why were you dismissed from Har-
vard?' was Jeromes query on another
quick shift OF ground.
Il never was dismissed, and you know
it." Thaw answered hotly. II left at the
same time four other young men left with
whom l was playing poker" he added.
Lawyer Helps Thaw
Practically every question asked by
Jerome was met with an objection from
Clarence j. Shearn, Thaws lawyer. He
was defending his client every inch of the
way with every legal recourse at his COM
nand to avoid the state of flag" which
proved the undoing of Thaw in his other
efforts TO get out of Matteawan.
In explanation of one of his letters Thaw
talked at great length. 1t appeared as
though he were talking against time Ia
order to prevent Jerome from asking him
any more questions.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw sat in the courtroom
all day listening to her husbands testi-
niony, her gaze riveted on his face.

For every man who was for me up

Numbers of men, he explained, opposed
him at Chicago beause they thought an
honest majority was against him. He
said these men would not tolerate theft
and were already coming "again for him
because they believed improper devices
had been used TO defeat him." Among
his hard and fast opponents, he said
there were many who honestly thought
that he was preaching something like
anarchy and that he was a menace to the
safety of property.
