LIQUOR LAW FIGHT IS ON
Springfield, Ill.-ResuIt Is Uncertain.

Springfield, H.. May 21.-The big fight in the house over liquor legisla- tion is on. There have been prelimi- nary skirmishes, but they merely de- termined the number of bills to come up for final passage. Thomas Curran, chairman of the liberal committee, is in charge of the wet" forces, and George H. Wilson marshaled the "drys."
 The "wets" will not content them selves with trying to kill dry legis- lation. They will push a number of bills vigorously. The attitude of the senate, as shown by the success of Senator Daley, Peoria, in blocking the advancement of the county option bill, is considered very favorable to the wet" measures Even if the bills go through the house, they may die in the senate
 Among the most important of the wet" measures Is house bill 724, which would nullify the present town ship local option law Other wet" bills seek to change the law by giving cities and villages power to limit the number of saloon licenses, which liq- uor men believe would tend to remove any objectionable features of the sa- loon business.
 Other bills would give hotels and restaurants the right to sell liquors on election day; would license railroads to sell liquor in dining cars: would prohibit the granting of licenses to any but native-born or naturalized citizens of the United States, and would prevent anyone owning or con nected with a brewery from owning a saloon. There is dry" bill similar to this, and one of them probably will pass.

Muncie, Ind, May 21.-Otis Fisher was placed on trial on a charge filed by Miss Ada Underwood, younger sis ter of Miss Doris Underwood The latter was acquitted by jury after a weeks trial on the charge of shooting Fisher when he jeered at her because she demanded that he do what he could to right the wrong done her sis ter. Ada Underwood alleges that Fish CT promised to marry her and then refused

at the White House, the state deparf- ment or the Japanese embassy care to indicate the nature of the Japanese objections or of Secretary Bryan's re- ply. From other sources. however. it was gathered that, while the Japa- nese allege technical violations of the treaty of 1911 by the California law these relate to minor provisions. such as that prohibiting Japanese from in heriting property in California.
 The real weight of objection is against the spirit of the whole legis. lation, which is regarded as distinctly discriminatory against the Japanese. While it is not alleged that the treaty in terms prohibits such discrimina- tion, yet the spirit of the convention as we'll as the general principles of international law are regarded by Japan as outraged by the Webb act. The mere fact that America has en- tered into the treaty relation with Japan is cited as an admission of equality.
 In his answer Secretary Bryan is understood to have recounted at length the efforts made by the admin istration to guard against an infringe ment of the treaty rights of the Japa- nese. Officials here believe that this substantially has been accomplished through the amendment of the original Webb act, and that, at any rate if the Japanese government takes con- trary view, it will be an easy task for 1t to test the issue in the Amer ican courts. This, it is pointed out, would seem to remove the issue from one of treaty construction, if the state departments view is correct, to the broad field of international law.
 Secretary Bryan said he had not communicated with Gov Johnson since the receipt of the governors long message explaining his reason for deciding to sign the act, and prob ably would not do so.

DEMOCRATS REALIZE NEW POST MASTER-GENERAL WAS "LEFT
 WITH BAG TO HOLD."
FUNDS ARE NEEDED BADLY
Eight-Hour Law, New Rural Routes, New Parcel Post and Other Items of Cost-CompIaints
 of Poor Service Many.

Washington, May 21.-Democrats are beginning to realize that Post master-General Burleson was left with the bag to hold" by former Post master General Hitchcock. who made brilliant record at making ends meet" The postoffice department needs funds, and needs them right now Burleson went to the White House with his troubles.
 A request for $600,000 for emergency purposes has been made upon congress, and the senate has act ed favorably. A combination of things has brought about peculiar situation in the postoffice department.
 First, for years PostmasterGeneral Hitchcock did not establish any rural free delivery routes, but just before going out he established nearly thousand. The Democrats of Wash ington believe that Hitchcock knew that it would require more money than had been appropriated for that purpose to carry the new routes.
 StCOUu, luc law plONldih6 dh SiSht hour day for clerks and carriers of the first and second class postoffices is causing demoralization hard to cope with, in addition to taking care of new business caused by the establish ment of the parcel post system.
 Complaints of Poor Service.
 Complaints are coming in from many cities, especially New York, Chicago, St Louis and other large places. of poor service. Burleson has sent expert delivery men to see what can be done to improve conditions in the parcel post service.
 It is estimated that about 50000 em- ployes are affected by the eight-hour law, which has reduced the efficiency of delivery and clerical forces of the first and second class offices at least 10 per cent without the addition of an other eight-hour force. The parcel post is increasing so fast that it is taxing the government to take care of it without more money.
 The railway mail service is causing no end of worry at the department. The parcel post has increased the tonnage of railway mail enormously and is taking up very expensive space.
 Race Problem a Factor.
 Moreover, the race problem is loom ing up in the railway mail service, especially in the South, where about 40 per cent of the clerks are negroes, some of whom have been promoted over white men.
 Several uplift organs have urged Burleson to regulate the franking

privilege aDuse oy letting each gov ernment department bear it's own mailing burdens The idea is to re- quire every department to pay for mailing it's own matter and thereby save the postoffice department the burdens of nine others.
 The idea, of course, is that of book keeping primarily, but of psychology really. That is, if there is a general franking privilege and everything is thrown into the pot, no one knowing or caring who throws it there, every department will use the franking priv ilege freely and joyously. But if each department is charged with the amount of it's mail matter (even though it is franked), there will be a rivalry for the lowest average.

MANY MILES OF TwINE.
Contract Indicates the Size Of U. S. Mail
Business.

Washington, Sept. ls.--iSome idea of
the amount of mail handled by the post
office department, and the energy re-
quired to prepare it properly for deliv-
cry, is conveyed in call issued yester-
day by Postmaster General Burleson for
bids for 100000 pounds Of Irvine with
which to tie up letters. That even this
vast amount may not be sufficient Is in
Dictated by the added appeal that inven,
tors of substitute tying devices enter
the competition for the material, "as it
may be required by the postal service
during the remainder of the year ending
June 80, 1914" Think what the pro-
posed contract means said an official
OF statistical turn Of mind yesterday.
1T would be simple matter to tie UP
old Mother Earth with the amount OF
string we are to get; We might stretch
a communicating link to one Of the plan
cts; If the energy spent by postal clerks
throughout the United States in twist
ing the string around packages could be
harnessed, it would probably serve to
drive the vessels Of the navy; If the

ment also asked for bids for 10000
pounds of book paper for use during
the same period The bids are to be
filed before Oct. 10 and Oct. 3, respec-

District.

Los Angeles, Sept. ls.-To that area
of the city which comprises the bust
ness section and a portion of the cheap

ty authorities confined their energies
Yesterday in the search for the sender of
the dynamite bomb received through the
mails Monday by General Harrison Grey
Otis, proprietor of the Los Angeles,

All agreed the maker of the bomb
lived in this district because the pack
age containing the bomb was placed in

ton and carried to postofiice station G,
which handles mail for the greater por-
ton of the business district and large
section of the east side.
The dynamite used in the internal ma
chine was that extremely high-powered

QUALITY OF ILLINOIS WATERS.
Report of Geological Survey Shows a
Large Amount of Pollution.

The quality of the water that may
be found at any point along the larger
streams within or bordering the state
of Illinois is shown in a report which
may be obtained, on application, from
the United States geological survey
The investigation that led to this report
was carried on under cooperation be-
tween the federal survey and the state
water survey of Illinois, and the report
was first published several years ago
as water supply paper No. 239, but the
large demand for it has necessitated its
reissue.
The state of Illinois is well provided
with water supplies, but nearly all Of
them are surface waters, and. most of
them are so greatly polluted as to be
unfit for domestic use without purifica
ton. They also contain so much dis
solved mineral matter and so much sus-
pended material as to be unsuitable for
many manufacturing purposes, yet by
proper treatment they may be rendered
safe for drinking and suitable for all
industrial uses.
The average amount of water used
each day in the cities of the United
capita. OF this, the amount used for
is not much over one-half gall
Ion per capita. 1t is of the greatest
that this one-half gallon
shall be free from the germs of disease,
notably those Of typhoid fever, and
shall be reasonably clear and reasonably
free from taste. But in planning
waterwprks system for home, factory,
or municipality, it is enough to know
the water is safe for drinking
To determine the best water for all pur-
poses it is necessary to know the amount
and character of the mineral matter it
contains. Without such knowledge no
can be made of the cost of
purifying the water and making it suit
able for drinking and for industrial
uses.
The report contains large number
Of analyses of the various Illinois wa
ters.
