INCREASE WATER SUPPLY
Long Island City Now Connect

The water supply IN Long Island city

uectoa made last week between that part
Of the water system Of Queens that sup

who brought about the improvement.
Not only will the supply be increased,
but. according TO experts. the new supply
is softer and more adaptable for use in
boilers.
The city viii reap a big saving by the
change. Heretofore the city has been
compelled to purchase from 10000 to
100000 gallons 4 day from private
water companies, at a cost of $4,000 a
year.
The Water Department as a result Of
the connection with the Ridgewood reser-

FINE PARK FOR QUEENS
Title Will Soon Be Taken of
1,000-Acre Tract.

Queens will have over one thousand
acres of parks when negotiations are
completed for the purchase by the city Of
the East River Park. a beautiful tract Of
land fronting for over a mile OF the river
front Assurance has been given by the
Board of Estimate that the city will soon
take title to the property.
Because Of it's natural advantages the
park gives promise of comparing favor
ably with Riverside Drive and the Con
course i'm Manhattan. For several years
the property owners i'm that section have
been agitating the acquisition of the
property by the city. a number of prop
erty owners have planned to build fine
homes and develop it for a highly re-
strictcd residential section. As soon as
the city takes title the work Of develop
ing will begin.
There was considerable delay in secur-
ing favorable action by those who have
control of the disposition Of the city's
finances. The Board of Estimate at first
thought that the property owners in The
immediate vicinity should bear the entire
cost of the park. but this suggestion was
vigorously fought, and proposition that
has now been made to assess 10 per cent
upon a widely distributed local area, 90
per cent upon the Borough Of Manhattan,
32ia per cent upon the Borough of Queens
and 22l2 per cent upon the Borough Of
Brooklyn meets with general approval
and viii probably be approved by the
Board of Estimate.

Board of Civil Service Commissioners
Organize at Florence.

Florence, May 1.-THE board of
civil service commissioners Of the city
organized this week with the election
of c. II. Thomas, chairman, and NJ. ID.
Lucas, secretary. The board will
gather information from Columbia
and other commission form of gov
crnment cities and then Sc, the stand
ards for office holding in Florence.
The new city council has had ex-
haustive reports sent in by all city
ofhclals who are heads of depart
mental work, with suggestions and
criticism as may suggest itself to them
From these reports it appears that the
car of progress in municipal affairs is
something like a second hand auto
mobile, pretty badly run down, and
no taxes to come in except those
lamest of lame ducks, the executions
that are as yet uncollccted, and a de-
termined fight made to oust the dis
penSary. 1t is not an encouraging
start, but the commissioners have not
lost confidence.

{. Il. BURNS Is REDUCED.
Changes Made i'm Weather Bureau as
Result of Charges-E'assig Cleared.

Washington, May 16.-Charles T.
burns, an assistant foreman in the
weather bureau, suspended at the
time of the dismissal of Chief Willis
l.. Moore, today was reduced in rank
and salary by Secretary Houston, who
declared Burns guilty of misconduct
in the performance of his duties
Prof. Oliver L. Fassig. against
whom charges We're preferred by
Moore, was acquitted OF all except
one, that of making "a false statement
regarding an item of expense amount
ing TO $3.50. No action was taken in
his case. Fassg contended Moore
made the charges because he refused
to support his candidacy for secretary
of agriculture.
Secretary Houston's investigation
of the case disclosed, an official state
ment says that on December q,
1912, Burns recommended that an in.
spectiOn of weather bureau printing
plants in various cities was necessary
IN the interest of economy and effi-
cheney, whereas the trip was planned
by Moore for the primary purpose of
promoting his candidacy for appoint
ment as secretary of agriculture and
not for the promotion of economical
or efficient administration of the bu-
reau."
Regarding the single item Of $G.G5.
Proi Fassig was found guilty only of
lack of accuracy and was wholly ac-
any money not actually expended by
him.

the two governments which arc labor
ing for a peaceful settlement by diplo-
matte means.
1T is conceded, however. that fail
ure on the part of the Americans to
respond TO the Japanese appeal for
a discontinuance of the alleged dis
crlihlnaton would be liable to lead
TO some estrangement of the peo-
pies. The Japanese public generally
is convinced that the laAl bill is a
racial and not an economic measure,
and hence a blow to national pride,
and the people ieel that the world
must be taught the necessity of equal
treatment for the whites and non
whites.
The Tokyo newspapers are earnest
In their praise Of President Wilson's
zeal in his efforts to preserve the ira
ditional friendship and they recog-
nize the difficulties which confront the
president in the conflict between State
and federal rights.
The Nichi Nichi is of the opinion
that the question as to whether the
Washington government can procure
for the Japanese equal rights de-
pends upon the strength of Japanese
diplomacy and ugres the government
to take a firm attitude.
A joint celebration OF the Japanese
ana American peace societies today
was attended by 1000 japanese.
speeches were made by Count Okuma
for the minister of foreign affairs:
Baron Yoshito Sakatani, mayor of
Tokyo. andt Tsunejiro Miyaoka, who
was councillor of the japanese en-
bassy at Washington in 1906. All
the speakers endevaored to clarity the
situation and decried jingoism.
Count Okuma was loudly applauded
when he compared the attitude of the
California legislators with the anti
foreign movement in Japan half a
century ago, which he looked upon as
an abased race prejudice.
I'VE despised the foreigners" he
said, because they looked different;
we did not consider them human be-
ings. Japan finally saw the falsty of
its position and became an admirer
of everything Western. The same
causes underlie the California ques-
ton but, like the Japanese, the Cal
ifornians will see the folly of their
position, and truth and justice will
triumph.
AT some future day Californians
will laugh at their fathers and grand
fathers for driving off the japanese,
Just as we laugh now at the anti
foreign absurdities Of the samurai.'

London, May 19.-The Times prints

London, May 16.-Mrs. Charlotte
Despard, in a speech tonight, defined
the policy Of the Women's Freedom
league as favoring lawbreaking with
out violence. She Said the women of
the league refused to pay taxes, and
In various ways manifested contempt
for man made laws, but they differed
from the militant suffragettes by
ScrupulOusly refraining from damag-
ing property and committing personal
assaults. The league recently was re-
fused the use of it's usual meeting
hall because of incendiary speeches
made by its leaders
DIR. Anna Shaw, addressing a suf-
fragette meeting in Westminster to-
night, said the conduct of women in
England had satisfied people Of the
United States that women with the
ballot would be unsafe and conse-
quently American women were being
voted down
The men of America, Dr. Shaw de-
clared, are using the agitation of the
English women as a club over Amcri-
can women and trying to make them
believe that women had shown them
selves irresponsible and untrust-
worthy. But that was merely Il cow
ardly excuse for cowardly men to Gov
cr their own cowardicc and inconsist-
cnCy she added
Women had 81 electoral votes in
the United States, DR. Shaw said, and
Theodore Roosevelt had taken up the
question because he knew those votes
would d"cid" the next presidential
election.
