RESERVATIONS DEMANDED.
Mayor Calls on Water Commissioner RI
to Give Up Their Positions.

new feature Of the water department
disturbance was brought about Thursday
when Mayor Burke demanded the resigna-
ton of the water commissioners, A. II.
Ruttcr. Jules Simays and G. II. Jones.
The mayor sent letters to Messrs. Rutter
and Jones, and he saw Mr.. Simays in
person. The latter presented his resigna-
ton to the city clerk, giving i'll health
as his reason for resignation. Later in
the day, however, Mr.. Simays withdrew
his resignation.
A Free Press reporter called up Mr.
Rutter on the telephone and asked him
If he had resigned. Mr.. Rutter was
emphatic in his statement that he had
not and that he did not inrend to. He
said he couldn't understand why the
commissioners should be asked to resign
in view of the fact that the hearing be-
fore the committee had not been COM
pleted and the result determined. Mr.
Jones could not be reached by phone.
The letter asking the designations
merely states that opportunity is given
to resign and mentions that in event of
the same not being rendered develop
mcnts Will follow.
1t will be recalled that the mayor in
making his charges in the Kidder case
had one to the effect that he would pre-
fer charges against the commissioners
for dereliction OF duty II they did not
see fit to summarly remove Mr. Kidder
after the latter had made what the
mayor termed a blasphemous Statement,

ODD FELLOWS MEMORIAL

er mt Annual Service.

At the Majestic theater Sunday
afternoon was held the annual memorial
service Of subordinate and Rebekah
lodges of Independent Order of odd
Fellows of Burlington. Members of the

came the memorial address. Mr. Edwards
introduced DR.. w. n. Bryant Of Ludlow
as one who had become well known to
odd Fellows through his speeches at
State gatherings. Dr. Bryant explained
IN opening that it might be little I'M
usual for him. physician, to speak on
an occasion OF this kind, but that his
father had been A minister and so he felt
at home in the theological atmosphere.
DR.. Bryant then took up the Significance
and Importance Of the services of which
this was the local manifestation. in an
eloquent and inspiring manner. He said
It was a day set apart for serious con-
temptation of the end of human life.
They were there to honor the lives, COM
memorate the virtues. and perpetuate the
memory of the departed. He spoke of
the immortality of life. and OF the subtle
appropriateness Of flowers at such a time
| The flowers with which the dead are
remembered at this time. he said seem
so poisnanty fragrant and so penetrat-
Ing by the influence of their beauty that

ing brothers.
The speaker dwelt upon the fact that
they had not come together to celebrate
the great soldier. the statesman, the
scientist. or the divine, but for the honor
of "a few obscure men and women like
| ourselves He went on to show the
| Importance and significance of that.
He told of the origin and growth OF
the day OF commemoradon among Odd
Fellows. -" spoke of the foundation in
human history and character OF fraternal
gatherings and of the importance of that

Everybody who knows James 5. Elton

THE NARROWEST ATLANTIC.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
Between Brazil and Guinea the Atlantic
ocean is only about 1,SoD miles wide. From
Newfoundland to ireland, the narrowest
breadth north Of the Equator, is nearly
twice as far. From New York to the
nearest point of France is nearly three
times as far. Hitherto most schemes of
aerial flight across the Atlantic have con-
templated some northern route That sug-
gested by The authorities of the San Fran
cisco exposition is by the way Of Labrador,
Greenland and Iceland. II has remained
for the Dutch aviator, Van der Born to
make the first preparation to cross the
ocean from continent to continent without
| stop, and he proposes to take the southern
route. where the Atlantic is narrowest.
Van der Born is now supervising the
construction Of n new type of hydroaero-
plane, When 1t is complete he will go to
the port of Konakey, in French Guinea
whence he promises to 1y TO Pernam-
buco, Brazil.
The scheme Is more plausible than any
of the other discussed trans-oceanic
| flights. 1t is natural and sensible that the
first crossing should be attempted at the
narrowest place, even though the flight
must be longer than any one of the stages
of the Greenland route. There is. of
| course. the danger of tropical air currents
but these are not much more to be feared
than the storms of the-Arctic regions
which are suggested for the northern
route
No one who has observed the progress
of aviation doubts that before long the
Atlantic will be crossed by some venture
some flyer. There Is no reason to main
tain an attitude of scepticism toward the
av1ators of our day. who have done so
much in so brief a time, and who may
do as much more within the next few
years.
