Conscious of the Cat as Near, When
Unseen and Unheard." In this pa
per DR.. Mitchell declares that there
are persons who have been able to dis

smell, but cannot any longer do 30

Washington, July 2:-While the
senate foreign relations committee
has suspended the investigation of
the financial troubles of Nicaragua
in connection with its consideration
Of the treaty with that country until
next week, the probe will by no
means be idle during that time. Sen
ator William Smith, who has been
leading the attack on the proposed
Nicaragua treaty, will devote the
next few days to digging some more
OF the details concerned with the
loan OF American bankers to Nicara-

Smith hoped to be able to put on
the stand at the conclusion of the
recess men who could tell the facts
which he was prevented from getting
from the New York bankers, it was
said, by Senator Root and as a re-
suit OF which the tiff between the

Special BE- Ur,ted Press Wire.
Washington, July Big bnsi-
ness is already to take its medicine
one Of It's chief representatives j. P.
Morgan, of Morgan and Company,
made this plain to the President to-
day. He told the executive that the
business men of this country are
not antagonistic to the administra-
ton. They were as anxious he
said as the President Is, to see big
revival of business throughout the
country, and they are willing to cor.
porate. All they ask is to be shown
how to do so. The Importance oi
-today's conference can hardly be ex
aggerated. He told the President
that many of his business associates
had complained because they could
not secure an audience with the head
of the nation. He cited the cases oi
three heads of big transcontinental
railroads, who have written the
White House and have been turned
down. The President explained that
while this was undoubtedly so he
had been unable to meet the de-
mands on his time.
Morgan refused to be interviewed
either about his interview or to com
ment on the business situation In
any way. Henry Ford, the auto
manufacturer will come here next
week, as will delegation of Chi
cago business men who will present
their views on trust legislation tc
the President in person. These bust
ness men came at their own request
but 1t Is accepted at the White
House that their interest means that
the fight by the business interest
against trust legislation is nearly al
an end According to administra.
tion officials the business interests
who heretofore devoted their time
in trying to prevent the legislation
will now accept the inevitable and
will try to influence the Legislation
along lines that will be beneficial tc
them.

ASK WATER MAIN
IN ARNOLD ST.;
WILL BUY 3LOTS

A petition was received for a
twenty-four-inch water main in Ar
mold street, three lots at Runyon
were ordered purchased and reso-
luton was adopted to procure valves
for the high level water system at
a regular meeting of the Board of
Water Commissioners last night.
Several other subjects of minor i'm
portance were handled by the board
at the meeting, which was one of the
shortest on record. N
1t is the belief of the commission
ers that the petitioners for water
main in Arnold street made a mis-
take when they asked for a twenty
four-inch line, as that is the size of
the principal mains under the Rari-
tan river, ordinary street mains sell
dom being larger than six inches in
diameter. The petition, which was
signed by nine property owners, was
directed over the usual course, being
referred to the pipe committee. Re-
quest was made for line along Ar
mold street, between Kennedy and
Johnstone streets.
With view of purchasing such
land as Is deemed necessary to close
up streets at the Runyon water
works, the board decided to pur-
chase three lots shown on the map
'of the Crescent Improvement Com
pany. The subject was referred to
McDermott & Enrlght, of Jersey
City.
City Surveyor Samuel j Mason
reported that valves required for use
in connection with the high level
water system OF the northwestern
section of the city would cost s2S5.
They were specified in resolution
authorizing their purchase.
The Chicago Bridge & Iron Works
had letter before the board, stating
that material for the standpipe to be
used in connection with the booster
system on the hill had been shipped
/ The communication was placed on
