OPEN LETTER TO MIR. GOODSELL
Mir zaI1npn Goodsell,

Mir Za1mpn GoodselI,
 Dear Sir
 I suppose when you get good and ready you will effectively reply to Mr. Judson's criticism of your-what seemed to nle-very conclusive exposf- ton of the sewage disposal matter now before the Legislature. Mean while there are "a, few facts which 1t doesn't do for MT. Judson or anyone else who wishes to get a Judicial esti- mate of the problem to completely ignore. Whether with or without sew age the era of Connecticut shad and clams has undoubtedly gone by. Ger tain of the Alaskan fisheries are a1- ready played out-the cannerdes have the best of them. They are gone in the wake of the buffalo of the far West, the migratory pigeons of the Middle West, the black ducks of the New England coast, and many other of the forrnet food supplying lines of fish and animals. The enormously in creased population and vastly impE7cv- ed methods of slaughter fairly account for their extermination.
 NO, sir! the cheap fish era, when Stiles rode uptown on a wagon Of st1ad as a result of hig strenuous half day at the landing net, has gone, never to return to this section.
 Now as to that method of sewage disposal which is always about to be adopted somewhere or other but which even the inland cities of our State have hardly as yet seriously consider ed:
 Would the hay tea-or whatever you may term it-of the extract, after the solid matter of the sewage had set- tied be any the more palatAble for drinking purposes on that account Would even the addition of the very large amounts of disinfectant requisdte for dealing with such masses of pol Iution be either a help to animal life or render it more padatable for human consumption?
 Mud flats. with or without sewage are. as you state, always prolific of smells, wherever located.
 Your remarks as to the unexcelled location of a tide water city whose shores are washed by the incoming and outgoing tides of salt water twice in each twenty four hours are exactly correct Look at New York with its more than five million of population!
 Yours truly,
 B. B. LEWIS

DONOVAN TAXES
 FLING AT HILL
Calls His Predecessor Political Dr. JekyII and MT.
 Hyde

Washington, May s-When he was attacked yesterday on the floor of the House for using the tobacco sched- ule of the Payne-A1drfch bill in his
 campaign against Ebenezer J. Hill his opponent Representative Donovan of Connecticut referred to his predecessor as a political Dr. Jeky1 and Mir. Hyde.
 MT. Donovan was one of the four Democratic members who voted against free trade in cigars with the Philippine Islands. MT. Gi1lett of Mas sachusetts took him to task for it. In reply MT. Donovan said in part: teFhe gentleman from Afassa chusetts will not rise in his seat. and state that I did not state the truth I did say in the campaign that the mem to admit 15o, ,00O, 600 Filipino cigars to this country free of duty My reason for crfticizing him was that he was a high priest of protection at home and preached that under no circum- stances would he permit the American wor4cin gmen to come into competition with the rice eating coolie labor of Asia. offered to withdraw my can didacy if he would prove that my statement was not true. Until the present the truth of my statement has not been questioned. The dual per- sonality of the gentleman, the Doc tor Jekyl and MT. Hyde character of the candidate caused me to make this. statement. In Washington he was against the workingnen with his vote, and at home he was the greatest supp porter and greatest sustainer of the working mans rights, stating that no coolie could get his vote
 MT Chairman, I had supposed that this great assembly was passing laws for the people, I had supposed when we were in convention we were go- ing to restore the Philippine Islands to the Filipinos, and that we were not going to continue to keep them as a subject people. Just when and where do we come out in the open to be honest in OUT transactions.
 .eThe gentleman from Virginia, MT. Jones stated here the other day that we had spent s400, ,0Oo, 900 on the Fili- pdnos. In the name of all that is good, just suppose that@we spend some Of that money in bettering the condi- tions of the poor fellows in this coun- try who are needy because of the high cost of Iiving.''
