BAD WATER THE WORST
MENACE FOR OUR TROOPS

New York, April 25.-Bad water
will be the army's worst foe in Mex
leo II war is declared. according to
Col. NJ. L. Maus, chief surgeon OF
the First army division. which has
headquarters on Governors Island
The water supply and sanitation sys-
tenn of Mexico. he explained. were
so far behind modern methods that
II an army should be sent into Mex
leo City an entirely new system
would have to be provided. He es-
timated that millions of dollars
would be expended by the United
States for sanitation, and that from
health viewpoint American occu-
patton of Mexico would be a good
thing for that country.
To insure good drinking water
Col. Maus said that filters would be
part of every army division equip
ment, and If the water proved too
impure for filtration II would have
to be boiled. He did not express
concern because of disease among
the soldiers except from typhus In
Mexico City, which is responsible.
he said. for the large mortality rate
among infants in that city With
the sanitation system that the army
would provide in the capital city. ev-
en- typhus. he declared, could be con-
quered.

fession or business He became a
gambler, but failed to provide for
his wife. They quarreIed and sepa-
rated. and the woman drifted until
she went to live in house on Green

Louisville.
Wing was in Louisville, and.
though separated from his wife. was
intensely Jealous Of her. One even
ing in 1892 he went to the house In
which she lived and stabbed her to
death in a room on the third floor.
He escaped by leaping from the win
dow to the roof Of a one-story sa-
loon annex. but was soon captured.
Wing was placed on trial. There
we're no extenuating circumstances,
and there was not the slightest
doubt that he would be condemned
TO die on the gallows, the methou
of execution then prevailing. But
before the case reached the jury
Judge Eaves. the venerable father
of Wings victim, arose in the court
room and with tears streaming down
his face asked that the proceedings
be ended and that Wing be given a
sentence of life imprisonment in
stead of death. He said ii was the
earnest wish of himself and all his
family that no more life be taken as
the result OF the wretched destinies
Of his daughter and the man she
married.
The old mans plea prevailed and
Wing was sent to the penitentiary
for life. He escaped January 8,
1908.
