Chicago, March lS.-While compan-
ion guarded an automobile, a robber
early to-day entered the Briggs house,
one of Chicago's Oldest downtown hotels,
shot and slightly wounded the assistant
manager, took $3.50 from the cash reg
lister and fled, just as the night clerk
had opened the safe and was about to
hand over $1,000 in money and the
valuables it contained.
A bell boy had overheard the robber
order the night clerk to open the safe
and called help, but the robber heard
their approach and fled.

Sends Telegram from Cal
ifornia, Where He Is
Spending the Winter

In response to telegram sent TO Ira
c. Cslef at Los Angeles, Calf, apprising
him that $4,000 had been raised to Sc
cure his conditional subscription of $l0,-
600 for the new City hospital building
in Barre, the following was received to-
day, announcing that Mr.. Calef proposed
to endow the completed building with
an additional gift of $4,000:
'Los Angeles Calf, March II, 1914.
editor, Barre Daily Times,
BARRE, VT,
"Am pleased with your telegram.
Say to the people | will endow the
hospital as soon as built with ten
thousand tslo,0oo.00l permanent
fund.
"Ira c. Calef'
The receipt of the telegram was hailed
vii. great enthusiasm among the work
ers for the building fund, as well as by
the other people to whom the news was
communicated, and as a result they re-
doubled their efforts to boost the build
ing fund to $4,000 by the close of the
campaign on Friday night. On all sides
We're expressions of appreciation Of the
generosity OF Mr.. Calef as indicated in
his double contribution, the former to
assist in constructing a commodious and
well-equpped building and the latter to
increase its usefulness through perma-
nent endowment.
The first gift came from Mr.. Calef
last Christmas, his letter expressing his
interest in the proposal to erect a new
building for the hospital and offering to
write his check for $4,000 just as soon
as 100000 more was raised and the con-
struction was started, and giving the
year 1914 as the limit. As is told in
another column to-day, the minimum
amount needed to realize on his gift was
reached yesterday, less than three
months after the receipt of his letter
making the generous offer. And the end
is not yet, for the campaign for the
building fund is going on with unsbated
vigor and $4,000 is the next minimum
set for the efforts.
II may be stated at this time that
the building plans drawn up called for
cost of 100000 for the part of the hos
pital plant proposed to be erected at
the outset, and the raising of $4,000
was set as the minimum for safe fnanc-
ing of the venture.

mas increased with the growth of the
CITY until their various lines form a
net work covering the entire valley
with service that is always superb and

THE RADlo-AcTlWTY OF,
THE SARATOGA WATERS

In view of the fact that the sick OF
this and othe countries have been
extensively exploited in recent years
by vendors of so-called radioactive
watrs, the Bureau of Mines has done
a public service by publishing the re-
suits of it's examinations of radio-act-
ivity of the waters of Saratoga
Springs, N. Y. The results show that
the activity of the different springs
varies widely. some being more than
twenty times as active as others. It
is to be presumed that not even the
most enthusiastic believers in the eff
cacy of radioactive waters would be
inclined to attribut much remedial
va-te to the radio-activity of even the
strongest of them. Some are, how
evef, much stronger in radio-actiivty
thaHNat least one of the widely ex-
plotted radioactive" springs. Were
the Saratoga Springs still in the hands
of private individuals it is quite like
ly that these results would be exploit
ed for commercial purposes. The work
is stated to have been undertaken at
the request of the commissioners of
the state reservation at Saratoga

RAILROAD WATER SUPPLY IN
~ MINNESOTA.

The United States Public Health
Service has just issued most inter
esting report designated as Reprint
191, containing summary of the in
CURRY into the character of railroad
water-supply in Minnesota. made by
the director, the assistant director and
the chemist of the laboratory division
of the Minnesota State: Board of
Health. Under the act of Jan. %, 1918,
common carriers engaged in interstate
traffic are required to furnish water
for the use of passengers which shall
be certified to by the state or munich
pal health authorities within whose
Jurisdiction it is obtained This pro-
vision made it necessary for the state
authorities to secure accurate infor-
nation regarding the sources and
character of, the railroad water-sup-
plies. In undertaking this investiga-
I ton, each railroad in Minnesota was
asked to submit a list of localities
from which water was taken for drink
ing purposes on the trains. AS the
replies were received the different To-
calitieS were listed and the state divid-
ed into districts. Suitable methods
for the inspection of the source of the
supply and analysis of the water itself
were then devised 1t was found that
the railroads secured water for their
trains from sixty-one different local.
tiles in the state. OF these, there were
eleven dug wells, twenty-nine drilled
wells and two dozen driven wells
Water was taken from springs in five
cases and from mine drifts or shafts
in two, making total of forty-nine
cases in which the water is taken from
underground sources. In nine cases
surface water was used, five of the
sources being lakes, three rivers and
one creek, while in three cases the
source was combination of drilled
wells and river, lake or spring. Re
garding the result of the field inves-
tigation, in thirty cases the source of
supply was found to be satisfactory
and in thirty-one unsatisfactory, while
the results of the water analysis show.
ed the water itself to be satisfactory
in forty-three cases and unsatisfactory
in seventeen. This brought out the
interesting fact that neither field sur

on alone to determine the sanitay
value of a water supply. The report

tary value of these watersupplies,
forty-three would have been found sat

field investigation is also taken into
consideration, only Twenty-Five are
satisfactory, while thirtyfwo are un-
satisfactory" The explanation of this
apparent discrepancy is that in many
cases endorsement of the Water-sup-

ply was withheld, not because the
water was polluted at the time of the
Investigation but because the inspec-
ton showed avenues by which pollu-
ton might easily occur. The sum-
mary of the report shows that over
80 per cent OF. the supplies investigat-
ed (thirty-two out of sixty-one) could
not be endorsed and that of these.
thirty-one were found to be unsafe by
the field investigation, while only six

pollution The report, therefore, con
cludes that "a careful and adequate
field investigation in addition to the
analytical investigation is required be-
fore a satisfactory opinion should be
ventured concerning the safety of a
given water-supply. An encouraging
feature of the report is the final state

DENVER, COLO, Sept. 22-Because
| Of their faith in the integrity OF the
President of the United States to ap-
point a commission that~will be fair,
the $4,000 Colorado mif1ers who have
been on strike since September 70,
1918, have accepted his plan for a
three years truce
If the coal operators, who have al
ways refused to deal with their for
mer employees, accept the proposition,
and it seems doubtful that they will,
the Colorado coal strike-probably the
most important industrial struggle in
lhistory-wiH be at an end and the men
will return to their former positions
in the mines.
While practically all of the dele
gates to the convention in Trinidad ad-
mitted that the offer of the President
did not embody all the rights they
should have, they admitted that it pro-
Vided for conditions never had in Colo
RADIO, that is if the commission of
three to be appointed to enforce the
provisions of the truce is fair.
People in COLORADO fail to see just
what, excuse the operators can give
for turning down Mr.. Wilson's propo-
sition. Its salient features give only
those things which have been granted
the miners by law since 1889
The first provision of the truce sets
out that all mining and labor laws of
the state. shall be strictly enforced.
When the miners struck one year ago,
six of their seven demands were grant
ed them by the then existing labor and
mining laws of Colorado
One of the many important demands
which this truce would guarantee is
that providing the right of men to be-
long to labor organizations. This has
always been denied the men by the
operators who discharged all en-
ployes known to even sympathize with
the United Mine Workers.
The Presidents plan allows the men
10 nave their union, their meetings as
well as a committee to take up all
grievances with the company.
Colorado has been known for years
as the state where the miners have
been robbed of 400 to 700 pounds of
coal on every car they mined. For
70 years there has been a law on the
statute books giving the men the
right to have checkweigman and
thus preventing this wholesale rob
berry. President Wilson's proposition
gives the men the right to have a
checkWelghman and names a commits
sion to see that the miners get their
rights, as well as all others provided
by the mining and labor laws of the
state.
The whole slaughter of the miners
and their families will be done AWAY
with in the future if the miners put
the proper construction on that part
OF the Presidents proposition which
says that all mine guards shall be dis
charged and only necessary watchmen
allowed to protect company property.
A Colorado law for many years has
prohibited the importation of mine
guards. but the corporations CONTROL
ing the state and county governments
have never obeyed it.
one OF the stipulations of the Presi-
dents plan is that miners and opera
tors shall each pay half of the expen-
ses of this commission of three. =

And drink the success Of the travelling
And the house represented by him.
And could 1 but tinctur$ this glorious
draft
With his smiles as | think of him
And the jokes he bas told and the
laughs he has laughed,
would fill up the goblet again.
And drink to the sweetheart that babe
him goodbye,
With tenderness thrilling as this
Very hour, as he thinks of the tear in
her eye
That saddened the sweet of her kiss,
To her, truest of hearts and fairest
Of hands,
would drink with all serious prayer
Since the heart she must trust is a
travelling mans
And as warm as the ulster he wears
would drink to the wife with the
babe on her knee, d
Who awaits his return in vain,
And breaks his brief letters so
TREMENDOUSLY,
And reads them again and again.
| would drink to the feeble<old mother
who sits
By the warm fireside Of her son
And murmurs and weeps DER the
stockings she knits
AS she thinks of the wandering one
I would drink to the strangers and
friends
Who have met him with smiles and
good cheer;
To the welcoming hand that good
fellows extend y
To the wayfarer journeying here
And at last when he turns from this
earthly abode,
And pays the last fare that he can,
Mine host Of the inn at the end of

Will welcome the travelling man.
