DESIRE TO GET AWAY
Members Convinced, However, that
President Wilson Intends to Hold
Congress Until This Is Done.

Washington, June 22.-The Sem
ate today began work on antid-trust
legislation. Senator Newlands will
bring the first measure on the pro-
gram to the floor by calling up the
Federal srade commission bill re-
Gently completed by the Interstate
ConanIerce Committee. No one in
the Senate is ready to predict wien
the program will be finished or IN
what shape it will go to the White
House for the Presidents signature.
Leaders of both parties are convinced,
however, that the President intends
to see that Congress stays here until
the antitrust work is done, and
while there is the same OBJ desire
to get away, there are not many who
think adjournment possible until the
trust bills are passed.
An effort may be made during the
week to aid in expediting these bills
through the Senate. Democratic
leaders are anxious 20 have the party
get together in conference and de-
termine its line of action before the
measures are far on their way. Sen
,ator Kern, majority leader, who has
been out of town, is expected back
within a few days, and on his return
the subject Of a party coilferenIe
will be taken up in earnest. Many
Democrats believe that conference
will serve to give notice to Republl-
cans that it would be useless for
them to struggle against the Demo-
cratic determination to enact its own
form of trust legislation, ans that
this attitude will aid in bringing
about adjournment late in July or
early in August.
Secretary Bryan will make his
third appearance today before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
to discuss the treaty with Colombia
and the proposed pact with Nlcara-
qua. Opposition to both these treaties
has been unusually strong, and it
sedaIs probable that the Colombia
treaty cannot be ratified without a
long fight in the Senate. The pro-
posed treaty with Nicaragua is yet
to be drawn and signed by the two
countries. Proposals for changes in
the tentative draft made by members
Of the committee may be accepted
by Mr.. Bryan. This would aid in Sc
curing the votes necessary for ap-
proval but there are many indica-
tions that a thorough investigation
will be made into the financial rela-
tions of American banking interests
with the Nicaraguan government be-
fore final action is taken.

dertakers shipping bodies within the

from the old act, but prescribes new

The state board of health was dl-
'rected by this statute to provide the

The receipts for each quarter of the past year exceed the receipts of the corresponding quarter ofsthe year pre- ceeding and the total receipts of the year exceed those of last year by $2,- 516.98 The estimated expense for the year just closed was $2S,500, and the amount estimated to be turned over to the city was $45,0o0. The statement for the year shows that the estimated expenses were exceeded by $1S7.SS and that the department turned over to the city $2,377.s4 more than the esti- mate.
 At the beginning of our fiscal year there remained in the hands of the city treasurer s3.752.16 as a balance of the $32O,000 Stony Brook appropria- due the Petrossi company. All mat ters in connection with the Stony Brook reservoir have been settled and there is at this time no claim of any kind against the city on account of the Stony Brook reservoir.
 Water Supply.
 After the settlement of the claims. the balance was applied to the erec- ton of a meter house on the Stony Brook pipe line, where the Venturi meter has been installed.
 On account of the fact that Stony Brook Is about IS feet higher than Fairview, the tendency is that water
 
 and it is evident from reading the Venturi meter that water does so flow.
 Fairview was full and water going to waste from April 19, 1913, to May F, 1913, and again from Dec. "A, 1913, to March 31. 1914, and Stony Brook was full and water going to waste over the spillway from Feb. 27. 1913, to June 4. 1913, and again from Jan 26, 1914, sto March 31, 1914. The low est point reached at F'airview the past year was 68 inches below full pond, BIO million gallons stored and the low est point at Stony Brook was 121 inches below full pond, 1s4 million gallons stored.
 Taking the quantity of water stored in both reservoirs at the time when we had the smallest supply Of the year, it is seen that we had about 800 million gallons on hand, or about 50 million gallons more than we could store at any time before the compile ton of the Stony Brook reservoir. It is evident from this. that the water problem of the city has been solved for
