PART POLICE PLAYED
IN THE FATAL MELEE.

Charleston, Oct. 16.-Stories of eye
witnesses of the shooting in the ex-
ecutive committee room which even
tuated in the killing of Sidney j.
Cohen and the wounding of four other
men agree that there was wild dis
order and that the police of Charles
ton took part in it. Shots were fired,
clubs used, citizens hustled and beat
en-, according to these accounts.
Chief Cantwell of the Charleston
police force is said to have welded
his pistol in the fracas. j. j. Healy,
a deputy sheriff, said: "Chief Cantwell
fired a shot at Henry Brown while
several men were holding Brown.
Some one, 4 think Mr.. Robson,
grabbed Chief Cantwell's hand with
the pistol in it and begged him not
to shoot"
J. w. Robson, an East Bay mer-
chant, said: "I saw with my own eyes
several persons rush at man whom
did not know and force him back,
about half-sitsing, at the middle win

Great Improvements
Made During Past
Few Years.
Water and Sewerage Main Ex-
fended-Many Lights Have
Been Erecfed-"Whife Way"
Latest tAdvances-WiH Greatly
Benefit the Business Houses
on Main Street..

A representative of The Times Wis
tied the plant of the Municipal Elec-
trio Light q Water Works for the
purpose of getting some information
concerning the "Great White Wav"
which is to soon be installed, but after
noting the wonderful improvements
that have been made within the past
few years we decided to get some
notes concerning the whole plant, for
we, like others who had not visited
the plant in sometime, did not realize
the great improvements that have
been made. Under the management of
Mr. w. H. Sartor, Mr.. w. S. Mcclure,
as commissioners, and Mr.. R. A. Eas-
terllng as superintendent, the plant
has been developed from a very small
affair to one that any city twice the
size of Union should be proud Only
a few years ago when the present
management took charge of the plant
it had capacitv of only $50 h. d.
and had no auxiliary equipment to be
thrown in service in case of an acci-
dent, while now the plant has a ca
pacity of 600 h. p. and has three en-
gines and dynamos so that in case of
trouble there is always a machine
ready to be thrown in in place of the
disabled one.
Only a few years ago all water was
pumped to the city with steam pumps
which made it necessary to haul an
fuel about two miles in the country
for firing the boilers, but all pumping
is now done with electric motors and
this change not only cut the operating
expenses considerably but also gave
duplicate pumping equipment which is
quite an important consideration, es-
pecially in case of fire. The new
pumping station which has recently
been installed to furnish additional
water supply for the city is located
on the old Harris mill site on Browns
creek, about five miles north of Union.
The building is freproof, having ce-
nent roof and floors and all electrical
equipment located on the roof so that
all dangerous wires will be out of the
reach of visitors. The power is sup

piled over a $500 volt power line and
rs h. p. motor is used to operate the
pumps. This station has quite a num-
ber of unique engineering features in
connection with same and is so in
stalled that same can be operated
from Union without the attention of
an operator at the pumping station.
Besides the improvements made at
the lighting plant and the pumping
station all of the lighting and water
service lines have been extended so
that any party living in the city may
be reached with lights and water. The

foreign engagements Of nations are
not rcpudiated by change OF pre-
miers. The agreement was a par
ticularly proper one for Greece to
make, because Greece was bound to
aid Serbia If attacked by Bulgaria.
The Teutonic party would have
Greece not only repudiate her pact
with Serbia, but 60 farther and dis
own her own understanding with the
allies for the use Of the Saloniki
port. But there will be little dan
ger Of the world getting Greece's
and Belgium's cases confused. There
is a vast difference between q coun-
try whose people want to be Elm
vaded," and one whose people rush
to arms to repel invasion. Greece Is
almost unanimously for the allies; !;
it would confront revolution il the
Constantine government should at
tempt to close Saloniki against the
allies transports. II is true that,
in the German view, a nations pub
lie opinion has no rights when it
disagrees with the governments 8

of most countries; and German
ideals have not yet been imposed on

Car the Austro- German drive Is 60

s'here is no doubt that the Germans

sustained power and success which
they have not shown before since

NEW MUNICIPAL METHODS

The municipal Offices of any large
city present different aspect from
that Of ten years ago. Instead of
being crowded with political ap-
pointees of few duties, many city
halls now resemble business houses
where each man is going at his
work in expeditions and efficient
way.
Complaints from time to time
show how differently the public
feels toward this sort of thing. II
no longer expects to find the forme,
attitude upon the part of it's city
employees. An apt illustration OF
this feeling was shown the other
day in Philadelphia. A boy. clever
years old, went to the city hall tc
get dog license. He found three
of the ten men in the Office working
and the other seven sitting with
feet upon their desks. smoking
Young America went home anc
wrote to Philadelphia paper just
what he saw. and there bid fair tc
be some reforms in the license of
flee.
Another city recently concluded
i an elaborate series of experiment!
with city Offices to determine tn,
promptness in answering telephones
Many business houses were called
and the city offices were called a
various times. 1t was found that i
took from one-half to one and a hal
minutes longer to get a reply from
the city hall. Part of this was du,
to an archaic telephone exchang,
system in the city hall which woul,
have been abandoned long ago i,
any business concern. The system
now has been abandoned.
The movement in efficient city ad
ministration is so new in this coun
try that its rapid progress thus ia
holds out the highest hope tha
American cities, before long, ma,
approach the sort of municipal gov
crnment which have made Germa,
cities the admiration of civic ex

PLAN TO FI0nr EPIDEMIC

The National Department of Az
riculture has determined to hold a
conference of State and Federal au-
thorities and of business and trans
portation interests, to organize for
the future suppression of the foot
and mouth disease. The meeting
will be at Chicago late in Novem-
Der. and il it is dominated by a pur-
pose to get results, rather than to
air grievances. it will be highly
useful.
Since the foot and mouth disease
broke out in this country about a
year ago, it Is estimated, State and
national authorities have spent about
$40, ,000,0 900 paying for live stock
slaughtered in order to get rid of it.
That, however, is about the smallest
item. Hundreds of millions could
easily be calculated as the losses to
live stock, transportation, packing
and all related interests, by reason
Of the fearful Generalization of the
business due to the epidemic. II
will be years before some sections
can entirely recover.
Yet the strange spectacle is pre-.
sented, of a conflict between State
and Federal authorities which
makes 1t impossible absolutely to
stamp out the disease. A State
court in Illinois has enjoined the de.
stfuction Of badly infected herd
and despite that that injunction pre-.
vents the quarantine being raised
and Illinois live stock and packing
industry emancipated, the stubborn
ness of a few Interested partiei
makes settlement absolutely impos
sible. It is stated even that the
owner Of this herd has been Offered
more than it is possibly worth, ir
order that the case may be dropped
and the situation cleared: but there
is 10 power to compel acceptance OF
the offer, and the wretched deadlock
continues.
State and Federal jurisdictions
are constantly getting their wires
crossed; but there have been ne
more exasperating instances Of the
interminable conflict than in thil
Struggle to rid the country of thi.
stock plague. Cooperation, not an
tagonism, between State and FEEDER
al authorities, is the keynote Of tht
conference that is now to be held. il

alton of all the facts may point tn
way to adoption of methods tha
will end the evil conditions.

FRIENDS OF WASHINGTON

The only wonder about the move
ment among citizens of Washington
to ask Congress to appoint on the
Senate and House District Commit
tees men in sympathy with and ac-
auainted with Washington affairs is
that it was not taken up long ago.
Washington has few rights in the
matter of municipal self-govern-
nent, but that is no reason why it
should not make use Of the right Of
petition which it enjoys. The Dis
trict has suffered much from having
at the head of the Congressional
committees entrusted with its af-
fairs men not at all cognizant Of
the needs and opportunities Of the
National Capital. Many Of the
members of these committees have
exhibited rather spiteful and petty
attitudes toward the city.
There are plenty of men in both
houses Of Congress with vision
broad enough to see the reasons
r'hy Washington should be devel-
ped and made beautiful. There are
On there who are proud Of the
"7r'tal. and not jealous Of the ad.
.srtages it enjoys; men who repre-
nj the nation, and not simply theil
~ districts, and who can see ma.
oral asset in the Capital. 1t is
-. only the right but the duty Of
iy;c organizations to see that such
r-en are named to handle the affairs
cf the city.
