we'll should be killed, it will then
devOlVe on this committee to call a
meeting of the citizens of Shreve-
port, at which such report will be
submitted for such action as may be
reached by majority then in al
tendance.
In taking this view of the situa-
ton unfortunately existing, we
would impress you, if possible, with
the fact that we are actuated by an
incentive of duty which is beyond
all reasonable criticism, but which
seemingly you do not appreciate.
In this connection we would re-
mind you that this committee was
created through your authority and
your approval. AS the Mayor you
called the citizens of Shreveport in
mass meeting, at which you an
nounced that you had concluded
that it was advisable to take the
people into your confidence, and
while expressing the hope that a
plan would be formulated by which
the gas we'll would be made peofit-
able, you stated explicitly that your
only request was that the funds of
the Fair Grounds used in the gas
we'll would be reimbursed tO the
Fair Association from the first reve-
Noes secured from the we'll. In
briefer words the committee was
vested with full power, a free hand,
to do whatever they should deem to
be best for the benefit Of the whole
city.
In proceeding to the development
of the capacity Of the we'll, an essen
tial requisite in the furtherance of
plans based on common sense which
were in contemplation, there was
observed and exercised every de-
gree of necessary protection, and,
therefore, your constrained reflec-
ton and your statement is not only
exaggerated but you are challenged
to sustain such assertion.
If you were not consulted, on the
opening of the we'll for its testing, it
was not thought necessary, but
whatever view or opinion you may
entertain as to the authority of the
committee in the testing of the we'll,
we are emphatic in the declaration
that you will not be permitted to lay
any responsibility or blame on the
committee for any of the defects or
the failure of the we'll.
If the damage, as you allege, is
''irreparable," the liability must be
laid to you and assumed by you, and
is not to be shifted by you on any
one or the whole of the committee.
We would say emphatieally that
your reflection is not only unfair,
but it is unWarranted.
When your communication was
received last night, it was believed
to be matter somewhat conflden-
tial and we are surprised that you
have rushed it, as it were, into
print, communication which is
rather tart in its expression and ex-
ceedingly sarcastic, but we will not

We quote your words: You have
taken upon yourself the authority

remark that you are unWlttlngly

fact that we are gentlemen and

sions will be submitted to the cltl-

Easton, Pa. Oct 2S.-Two automo-
biles loaded with merry Philadelphians
on their way to the Delaware Water
Gap were plunged into h Della ware
river at Mey ers Ferry, between Della
ware and Portland. and foul of the
party were drowned. The cars, loaded
on the big flat boat. started across the
stream at the ferry from the New
Jersey shore to Pennsylvania. The
river is high because Of the recent
rains, and RATS of logs are running.
When near the Pennsylvania shore
the ferryman became alarmed, fearing
the boat would be struck by a raft he
saw approaching, and reversed the
boat to run back to the New Jersey
shore. The reversal caused the boat
to ship water. and as one end dipped
both cars ran off into the river. One
of the machines belonged to a Mr. Gil
bert, whose wife and n of his two
| children were drowned. The Other
car belonged to a Mr.. Trump. whose
wife was drowned. also a friend, Miss
Tyson, about eighteen years old.

CLEANER CARS
FOR OYSTERS
South Jersey Shippers Com
plain to State Board.
(From the NEWS Correspondence

WV" ~ 49, w. SV'fS"fNp
Trenton, Oct. 28:-Oyster shippers
of South Jersey have called OF the
State Board of Health to compel the
railroad companies to stop sending
filthy cars to hat section of the
state for the shipment of oysters.
The protest was inspired by the
action of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in sending filthy cattle cars
to Bivalve in which to market a
large lot of oysters. The shippers
declare that this is not the first time
that care in this condition have been
sent to them.
1t is thought likely that the pro-
test will result in the State Board
adopting regulations for the govern.
ment of oyster shipping. These
rules, it is said, will require the rail-
road companies to observe strict
sanitary regulations in the %transpor-
tation of oysters because they are a
food product. 1t is probable that
the use of cattle cars for this pur-
pose will be entirely prohibited until
they have been thoroughly scrubbed
and disinfected.
