ARTfSIAN We'll
MAY Be DENIED
TO PUBLIC USE

There is very strong probability
that the water at the artesian well
on Tenth street will be turned off un-
less there is complete change in the
conduct Of many of those in the habit
OF congregating about the well TO the
extreme annoyance of the entire
neighborhood.
The we'll must not be used as a
place to bathe feet, wash heads,
hands. face or ice. 1t is private
property and the public has been per-
mitted unrestricted use of the water
for drinking purposes, but it can
not be made trysting place In the
evening; neither will the owner per-
nit the neighborhood to be disturbed
by persons congregating about ii
with boisterons, and frequently, in
delicate and profane language.
Neither is it a romping place or play
ground for children.
III these things are not stopped inn
mediately the water will be turned
OFF.

ORDER ARTILLERY
FOR PROTECTION
OF HAWAI- ISLES

Washington, June 14.-Fie' d ar
tillery has been ordered from the
Philippines for the defense OF the
Hawaiian Islands. Field artillery is
the particular arm of the service
which the military strategists have
always held is the only thing that
could successfully oppose the land
ing of an enemy on the Is and OF
Oahu.
The Japanese Ambassador called
today at the State Department. After
the conference with Mr.. Bryan tre
Ambassador said:
my call was not related to the
main question of the California
alien land law"
Ambassador is Silent.
The Ambassador was asked how
far this difficulty had progressed
toward solution. He replied very
frankly:
II do not know. No one knows
the outcome and I cannot discuss 1t
any further"
The order for the movement of
troops to Hawaii was issued today
from the Office of the Secretary OF
War and is as follows:
'"rhe movement OF the Second Ar
tillery to the Philippines is for the
purpose of consolidation in those
islands of one regiment of mountain
artillery and relieving one battalion
OF leld artillery, which will go to
the Hawaiian Islands, comp eting
the field artillery regiment in those
islands. The movement was ap-
proved a year ago, but was delayed
on account OF lack of funds and the
exIgencies OF the service here.
Hawaii Gets Benefit.

are to go out on the transport Dix,

"The entire movement Is part
or the arrangement of the Philip
pine garrison which has been in pro-
cess for the past year"
1t is significant the real benefit
of the additional defense thus pro-
vided accrues to the Hawaiian ISL
ands, which get a battalion of field
