PECK RESTORED TO
LIST OF CAPTAINS

Robert H. Peck, late a captain in
the Twenty-fourth Infantry, dismissed
from the service in August, 1910, fol-
lowing a court-martial, has been re.
stored to rank by the President, taking
his place at the foot of the list of cap
tains. The Presidents action came
as the result of report by Secretary
of War Stimson, who has thoroughly
investigated the record of Captain Peck
prior to the court-martial, which was
held at Oswego post, and at the time
created something of sensation.
1t is understood that the military
committee of the house has under con
sideration the restoration of Captain
Peck to his original lineal rank, which
would be 292 on the lineal list of cap
tains. As Captain Peck is but thirty
eight years old, he still has a chance to
become colonel before retirement.

Vt Superintendent II. X. Bishop of the
public works department by members
of the Outdoor Circle of the Kilohana
Club. who met yesterday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. +. j. Lowrey, the
president.
For more than an hour Mr.. Bishop
answered questions. There was no beat
ing around the bush by the ladies.
They are all from Missouri with ref
erence to the installation of water me-
ters, and they want to know all about
them before they will give their deci-
sion as to whether they will favor
them or stand out against them.
They agree with Mr.. Bishop that the
waste of water must be checked, and
the question hinges on whether the
meters will do this without unduly de-
priving citizens of the proper amount
of water for irrigating their lawns and
keeping their places in proper shape.
Even the question of baths for the
family was brought up and one keen
minded woman wanted Mr.. Bishop to
give an estimate of how many baths
one thousand gallons of water would
provide for an average family. AS the
specifications and dimensions of the in
dividuals of the family were not pre-
scented, Mr.. Bishop confessed that he
was unable to give satisfactory an
swer Neither could he exactly answer
question as to how many square feet
of lawn 1000 gallons would properly
cover.
