RIVER WATER.

"Most Of the water that is drank by the
people Of London is taken from the
Thames river in London and yet although
the Thames water shed above the water
boards intake is populated by 1000, 900
human beings and 500, 900 other animals,
the health of London is exceptionally good.
Its death rate is lower than that of large
cities like Birmingham, Manchester and
Liverpool, which are supplied with pure
hill waters.
As MIR. Balfour Browne remarked last
summer at the Royal Institution, the ex-
planation is that the water as delivered to
consumers is practically "a manufactured
article" In other words, it is scientific
product, although science in this case, has
only supervisory control, while nature
does the work of publication " Cannot our
honorable body of lawmakers be persuaded
to investigate London's water systeml

Tammany Aids May Get
political Policy Slips"
to Guide Voters.
PLANS TO ASSIST
CANDIDATES FOTLED
Eulogies for Gerard Given to
Counterfeit Endorsement
from Murphy.

Tsmmany leaders have been worry
ing much Of late as to how they were
going TO beat that provision Of the d.
rect primary law which prohibits any
designation on the ballot to show who
are the candidates favored by the or
ganization. The candidates are put on
the ballot grouped according to Offices
and their places in the group are de-
cided by lot.
The names on the ballot are num-
bered serially. It has been suggested
that the organization leaders give each
voter q slip bearing the numbers Of the
candidates he is expected to vote for
1t will be sort of a political policy
slip.
Tammany heard that in Massachu-
sets they beat the ballot there by CIV
ing the organization voter q screen,
which, laid over the ballot, would ex-
pose only the candidates for whom he
was expected to vote. The ballot here
is too large to make such screen
feasible, it is thought.
Fearing the result of the attack on
f1HDdbSduOT JdEHcb W.
dacy because 1t received its inception
from Charles F. Murphy, a series Of
eulogies from well-known men is to be
made public. The first came last night
from Samuel Untermyer. He spoke Of
the high judicial ability Of Ambassador
Gerard. his wide experience in business
and financial affairs, and in regard to
his work in Berlin said:
Nothing was too much for him. In
stead Of turning over the performance
of his duties to committee he con-
stituted himself committee He be-
lieves in party government, but no one
who knows him can imagine him as
subservient to the orders or demands Of
any person or organization"
Franklin D. Roosevelt denied last
night that he had said Mr.. Gerard, his
opponent, was an enemy of decent gov
eminent. He spoke yesterday after
noon at the White Plains Fair and in
the evening at New Rochelle.

WHITMAN'S
VOTE WENT TO 7. R.
BOnheur Asserts Prosecu-
tor Pleged Aid for
Roosevelt.

Lucien Bonheur, a Progressive who
worked to get the fusion Endorsement
for Mayor for District Attorney Whit
man last year, made statement yes
terday in regard to the reports that
Mr.. Whitman had voted for Roosevelt
in 1912. he said that in May, 1913, NJ
took Mr.. Whitman to call on the
Colonel at Oyster Bay, in the hope OF
getting him to como out for the DIS
trict Attorney. =.
"Mr. Whitman told Colonel Roosevelt
at that interview" declared Mr.: Bon
heur, "as he had previously told me,
that he had voted for Roosevelt IN 1917.
He said further that, whether the
Colonel supported him for Mayor ~
not he (Whitman) would continue to
support Roosevelt in the tuture-that
he believed as he did,
When the statements OF Mr.. Bonnenr
were called to the attention OF MI
Whitman last night he said:
"These stories have already Deeh
sufficiently denied. | am wiling 70 re-
peat, however, my statement that |
never voted for Colonel Roosevelt IN
1912" ,
Mr. Bonbeur said that at later con-
ference between the Colonel and Mr'
Whitman, at which he waC present also,
the Colonel said much Of the Progress
siye opposition to Whitman was due 70
the fact that they believed he was IN
nolItical alliance with Abraham Gruoer'
Mr.. Whitman denied the charge
"The Colonel said that the Progress
siye opposition had not lessened," SAID
Mr.. Bonheur, recounting what ne sa'"
took place, "but indicated that ne pei
sonaliy was prepared to support WHIT
man." ~.
Mr.. Whitman last night said that this
was not so.
'"The Colonel told me-" he said, that
I was absolutely suited for Mayor, D II
that as he was not resident OF Ne"
York County he could not take any
part in the campaign"
Going further in his narrative OF the
conference, Mr.. Bonheur said: .,
"Mr. Whitman said that II elected
Mayor he would not be a candidate Tor
Governor unless it was agreeable TO
Colonel Roosevelt. He did not say
agreeable to the Progressive party, but
TO Colonel Roosevelt AMI men holding
the same ideals in government tha'
the Colonel typifes. The theory OF the
talk was that if the machine control a.
Albany by the two party organizations
continued to be such that a man who
srood for Poosevelt's ideals was needed
to clean up the situation, Mr.. whitman
would enter the field for Governor on
such q platform"

CITES TAMMANY'S
WORK FOR GOV. GLYNN
Operation of Direct Primary
Law Fails to Eliminate
Bosses, He Says.

Job Z. Hedges was enthusiastically
received yesterday afternoon when he
addressed a large audience in the
grandstand at the Westchester County
Fair at White Plains. Previous to his
mounting the speakers platform Mr..
Hedges sat in a box directly in front
OF Franklin D. Roosevelt and listened
to his plea for the Democratic nomina-
ton for United States Senator.
Mr.. Hedges was introduced by E. B..
Long, the head Of the Fair Association.
Before going to the fair grounds Mr..
Hedges was entertained at the White
Plains Republican headquarters by
Mayor John ]. Brown, Police Commits
sioner p. b. Parker, James C. Farrell
and several other prominent Repub-
licans.
Mr.. Hedges was applauded when he
said:
Il submit that my candidacy will
nave less OF a factional coloring than
that Of either of the other two candi-
dates, that it will excite less antago-
nlsm and that it will find a more en-
thusiastic support in the hearts of the
enrolled Republicans" Mr.. Hedges said
he spoke without any malice toward
the other two candidates, but he de-
clnred that he presented himself to the
Republicans of the state as the only
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor whose party regu-
larlty is absolutely unassailable. He
further said:
SHOULD a Republican Governor be
elected he will be most efficient if he
has been steadfast in his party affla-
ton, has been without complications
with alliances, attempted or real, and
without combinations with the control
ling element in our common enemy, the
Democratic party, as exemplified by
Tdmmany Hall"
His intimates and close friends"
Mr.. Hedges continued, must be devoid
of connections which will be a neces-
sary cause of suspicion and solicltude
in the performance of his duties"
In the evening Mr.. Hedges spoke at
two meetings in Manhattan and one III
Brooklyn. Speaking of the workings of
the direct primary law, he said at the
clubhouse in the I'd Assembly District,
of which Joseph Levenson is leader:
at was supposed to be law that
should deprive the so-ca.led bosses in
the parties Of an oyerwecning influence
through their control Of the party ma
chincry upon the selection of candi-
dates.

party machinery, led by Colonel Roose-
welt, is working for the support of MIR

Cheered by crowds Of East Siders
Governor and Mrs. Glynn last night
made their first real tour Of that sec
ton, attending Kessler's Theatre as
the guest Of Judge Aaron ]. Levy. The
house was crowded up TO the roof, and
the Governor was persuaded into max
ing a speech.
He talked briefly on the Worlmen's
Compensation act and repeated the
remarks he has made in previous
speeches as to the economy Of his adj
ministratioR. He took peculiar pride,
he said, in being the first Governor to
appoint an orthodox Jew to the highest
judiciary Office, adding that he would
appoint another when he found one
to measure up to Judge CORDOBA.
He spent the rest of the evening in
East Side restaurants.

GLYNN EXPECTS
EASY VICTORY
Confines Discussion of
Politics to Prediction
Speaks on Waterways.

Governor Glynn, who is at the Van
derbilt Hotel, was exceedingly reticent
on political matters yesterday. He did
say, however, that, after travelling
hundreds of miles through the state, hG
was satisfied with the situation and
expected TO win the nomination Of the
Democratic party without any trouble.
AS to the possibility that William
Church Osborn might be induced to re-
consider his determination not to serYe
another term as state chairman, Mr..
Glynn was silent. He did say, how
ever, that his relations with Mr.. Os-
born had always been most cordial and
that he was one of those most respon-
sible for the original selection OF the
state chairman.
The Governor is particularly inter
cSted at the moment, he said in try
ing to induce Congress to give New
York State a larger appropriation for
The development of waterways in this
state. He wants business men to at
tend the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
Congress, which will meet at the Ma
jestic Hotel in this city tomorrow,
Tuesday and Wednesday.
New York State hasn't had square
4, al from the federal authorities IN
regard to its waterway develop
ment," said the Governor. 1--WE have
spent for that purpose one-ffth as
much as the United States has spent
oil its entire seacoast and river mile
age. This state has spent $2OO,OOO,OOO
or more on water development and at
the same time is contributing to defray
:he expenses of what the government
is doing. One reason we have not got
what we should is that our citizens
have been too apathetic. hope there
will be good representation at the
" aterways Congress that will urge the
needs of this state"
The Governor said the federal au'
thorities ought to spend S7,OO0,OOO IN
deepening the upper reaches of the
Hudson to render the new barge canal
available at all seasons of the year.
The Governor will attend the meet
ing of the State Compensation Com
mission in the Metropolitan Building
tomorrow. Yesterday he conferred
with Lieutenant Governor Wagner and
other Tammany leaders.

BANKS CAN Use
$lOO,OOO,OOO FUND
Reserve Board Approves
Plan for Paying Euro
pean Obligations.
[From The Tribune bureau. ]

Washington, Sept. 19.-The bankers
plan for a S100,000,000 gold fund to
meet American obligations in Europe
was approved to-day by the Federal
Reserve Board.
National banks in central reserve
and reserve cities will be asked to
contribute 10 the fund, but country
banks are not expected to participate.
Although a syndicate Of New YORK
bankers already has arranged to take
care Of $80,000,O0O of that city's Euro
pean obligations, national banks IN New
York will be counted on for co1tribu-
tons to the additional SlOO,OOO,OOO
fund.
The gold will be deposited in the
branch of the Bank of England in
Ottawa, Canada. The first call on
banks probably will be designed to
bring out from $2O,0OO,000 to $25,000,-
600. Details of the plan, however,
were not worked out to-day at con-
ference between bankers and the
board. They will be considered next
week.
Additional amendments to the cur
rency law were decided on by the House
Banking and Currency Committee to-
day, following the temperance before
the committee of Paul VI. Warburg and
w. p. G. Harding, of the Federal Re-
serve Board.
At the earnest solicitation of Mr..
Warburg the committee agreed to re-
port an amendment giving the board
authority to permit member banks to
carry their reserves in the Federal Re-
serve banks, rather than their own
vaults. Opposition to this proposal
cropped out in committee yesterday,
but Mr.. Warburg argued to-day that
in the present financial emergency the
board should have the power to use to
advantage reserves which otherwise
would lie idle in the vaults Of the
member banks.
The operation of the amendment,
however, was limited 20 three years,
this being a compromise between the
two factions in the committee. Mr.
Warburg said it would facilitate the
beginning of the operation of the Fed
eral Reserve system were the board
given authority, which he said would
be closly guarded, to shift these re-
serves to twelve centres Of the coun-
try, rather than have them distributed
among 10000 banks.
The second amendment agreed on
gives the Federal Reserve Board power
10 increase the limit OF acceptances
which banks may discount when based
on the importation or expectation OF
goods. The present limit against such
acccptanccs is so per cent OF the paid
up capital and surplus Of the bank.
The board is empowered 10 make gen
ora regulations regarding such accept
ahces and 20 allow q greater limit, in
It's discretion.

SUBWAY KILLS PREACHER
Man Who Dropped Belongings
on Track May Be Suicide.

A man believed TO be Adam Prigg,
an evangelist of Newport, K. l., was
killed yesterday by train at the I'D
st. station of the subway. Identifica-
ton was made by means of letters in
bag. 1t is not known whether he
tried TO commit suicide or had jumped
TO the tracks to rescue some of his
belongings.
When first seen by passengers Prigg
was trying to climb from the track to
the platform, and his bag and UNI
brella were lying near the edge. Louis
Garretson, motorman Of the express
that struck Prigg, said he could not
tell whether the man fell or jumped
to the track.
