POET OF WASHINGTON
 DIES AT AGE OF 72
Funeral Arrangements Being Made for Col. Joyce Known Through
 out Country.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Funeral ar engagements were being made here to- day for Colonel John A. Joyce, know n throughout the country by his poems and other writings. He died hele @ yesterday, aged 72.
 Colonel Joyce had lived here for half d century and won the name of Poet of Washington" He had published more than a dozen books, mostly poems and biographies and was author also of many fugitive verses.
 Colonel Joyce laid claim to the au- thorship of Love and Laughter" known through the English speaking world by it's first line, Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone," but his claim has been disputed and the controversy at one time attracted wide attention
 During his long residence here, Col onel Joyce made many friends among statesmen of prominence. He was a native of Ireland.

 Neary all the land on the Burling- ton water sired has been bought by the city although there are a few par cels st.ll to he purchased. It will be necessary ultimately to remove an old Quaker cemetery but no trouble on this account is anticipated as the last irterment in cemetery is said to have been il 1844. It will also be necessary to change the course of a road considerably.
 The water commissioners have a good idea of just what is needed to convert this land into a big asset to the cit:. Thousands of dollars have been spent in buying up farms ana elimi 1ating the slightest chance of cont Agiun from the properties When the reservoir is com pleted New Britain will have a water supply second to none in the east.

$200,000 IN BONDS
 FOR NEW RESERVOIR
This Is Recommendation Of Water
 Commissioners tO the Council.

In order to prosecute the work on water mmissioners will ask the common council tomorrow night to petition the legislature for author ity to issue s2OO,O0O in bonds. This was decided on at a meeting of the water commissioners last night.
 It is not intended to finish the work at once, the commissioners be- lieving, however, that a start should be made and all preliminary matters cleaned up. It is proposed to have large reservoir and a pipe line to the Whigvile brook. Two plans have been before the comm ission for the transfer of the water and it has been decided that the easier and cheaper method would be to build a tunnel. One plan, that of Engineer Percy M. Blake, would convey the water above ground but the comn1ir- sion expects to follow the suggestion of Engineer D. F. Crowley. that a tunnel be dug under the mountain which divides the Whigville and Bur- lington water sheds. Hiram Mil- lSl, l1lS we'll kHOWn bOSCOn enSlnSoT, will probably be engaged to head the work and Engineer Crowley will probably be the executive engineer.
 The commission presented a com munication to the common council on December 16 last, suggesting that d new bond issue be asked for. The resolution which will be presented to- morrow night is the outgrowth of this and $2O0,0O is designated.
 Will Have S35O,OOO.
 If the bond issue is authorized this will give water department S35O,OOO with which to do the work as there is $150,0O left of the 1909 issue of $250, ,000. The rest of that issue has been spent finishing the Whigville basin and dam and in taking steps in the upper Burlington water shed in preparation for carrying out the huge project of transforming it into a big reservoir.
 While the Burlington reservoir will be twice as large in area as Shuttle Meadow lake it will not be as deep and w,n not store as much water. It is estimated that Shuttle Meadow lake holds 13,000,000 gallons and the

:. GAINS. POUND A DAY,
 SAYS MRS. TATUM N rN 1V A
Cows and Chickens Now Involved
 in Divorce Fray.

New York, Jan. 19.-Since John c. Tatum quit Pontica, said Mrs. Mary Jane Tatum yesterday, she has put on flesh at the rate of a pound a day. But, of course, it's only seven or eight days since he left. Asked what would happen if he stayed away about two years, Mrs Tatum was reticent.
 The flesh that is returning to Mrs. Tatum was lost, she said, dur ing her hours on the stand in the recent divorce trial. Mrs. Tatunl wants to gather as many pounds as possible, because her husbands coun sel will appear in the supreme court at Mineola today to ask that the ver- dict be set aside and the case tried all over again, even including Mrs. Tatums flesh reducing hours on the stand.
 Going to Europe.
 "I am going to Europe in a few weeks" said Mrs. Tatum, "but I ex- pect to retain possession of Pontica. On Friday shall appear in court against my husbands chauffeur, be- cause he had no right to pull out a revolver and point it at me-
 Although Mrs. Tatum continues in possession of the Tatum home at Great Neck, the battle between her self and her husband for control of things has not let up for a minute. Even the cows and chickens are in it now. Before a chicken may be killed for Mrs. Tatum's table MT. Tatum's signature must be obtained to long legal document, which means that Mrs. Tatum has been inn porting her poultry from elsewhere.
 Rumors of Injunction.
 As for the COWS, it's even worse Pressed for milk, they inquire, so ii is said, whether Mrs. Tatum or Mir Tatu1n wants it. There are also ru- more of an injunction to prevent the COWS from giving milk at all. Hali of all milk goes to MT. Tatum.
 Mrs. Taturl's special deputies arc still on guard on the Tatun1 lawn and now MT. Tatun has added some of his own. They are there, it is un- t:crstood, to keep Mrs. Tatum iron. walking off with any of the furni. ture.

COUNCIL OF HEBREWS
 HELD AT CHICAGO
Delegates Give Much Attention to School Extension Work.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Delegates to the twenty fourth council of the Union of American Hebrew congreg gations today listened to welcoming ad dress from M. E. Greenebaum of Chicago and the reports of officers and com mittees.
 The delegates who represent near ly every state in the country, gave much of their attention to school eS- tension work.
 Nine Students Ordained.
 The report of the board of gov ernors of the Hebrew Union College. Cincinnati, told that nine students were ordained as rabbis in Israel last year and the establishment of sew eral new scholarships at the insti- tuition.
 The report of the board of dele gates on civil rights touched partic- ularly on the status of Jewish imrni- grants at the close of the European war. On this point the report said
 Stin Greater Problems.
 Grave as the problems up to the present moent have been, the future throws still greater problems on the canvass of possibility. We must natur- ally come to the conclusion that if the government of Russia. whether it wins or loses, should make good the ] alleged promise reported by the news 1 papers of according equal rights tc it's Jewish subjects, then Jewish ir:- migration from that country would be materially lessened, if it did not cease altogether; but even conceding that favorable possibility, general in,- migration may increase.'
 The report added: The rest-ic- 1 tionists are already invoking the 1 threatened increased immigra ton fol i lowing the war as an argument in favor ofs new restrictive legislation Our national precedents do not jus

MORGAN TELLS WILSON
 FINANCIAL SITUATION
f|n1leiel Says Gold Pool May Soon
 Be Dissolved.

Washington, Jan. 19.-J. F. Mo1- gan was in Washington yesterday to confer with President Wilson and at 14terd to business of public interest. The business included a meeting of the executive committee of the Fed eral Reserve Boards advisory coun- ell and conference with Secretary of the Interior Lane regarding the proposed sale to the government of the Copper River and Northwestern railroad in Alaska, which now Is owned by the Morgan firm.
 MT. Morgan's conference with the president related to the international exchange situation and the extent to which this has been affected by re- cent trade developments. The pres | ident was highly pleased at the fa- ! vora bIe comment upon the interna- tional financial situation given by MT. Morgan.
 Dissolution in Sight. It was said that the latter ex- pressed the opinion that the balance of trade has already swung so far in the direction of the United States that the dissolution of the gold pool formed to meet our international ob- legations is in sight
 MT. Morgan saw the president for half an hour. He walked alone to the White House from the hotel where he was stopping and was snapped repeatedly by a helf dozen phctogra phers as he approached the executive offices.
 Kcuccnt About Conference.
 After the conference in the pres ident's office MT. Morgan would tell only the general character of the sub- jects discussed. He said that among other things he had informed the ' president of the action of his firm in establishing bankers credit of $10,- 100000 for the Russian government This would seem to indicate that the administration has thought of making any objection to the Russian transaction.
 The White House authorized this statement regarding MT. Morgan's visit:
 : MT. Morgan came to inform the president of the improvements in in ternational exchange and to discuss the general trade movements as af fecting this exchange"

 Meyers refused to make any state ment on the stand.
 Imm ediately Lawyer McDonough moved that Riley, his client, be dis charged as it had not been proved that he rung the alafm.
 What about the ringing that one stroke? 2" asked Judge Meskill.
 That wasn't an alarm. The sta- tute says Who shall intentionally turn in a false alarm, replied the lawyer" and one stroke is not an alarm because the fire department did not respond to any box because of it."
 Another Charge Added
 Here Prosecutor Klett decided, in add another count against Riley, that of attempting to turn in false alarm of fire"
 Lawyer McDonough objected on the ground that the case already be fore the court should be disposed of first. He thought it quite irregular that a man should be charged with committing a crime and before the case was settled be charged with at tempting to commit that same of fense.
 The prosecutor explained that it was his right to amend d complaint al any time before the court gives de- Cision

 Riley pleaded not guilty. Kelly was then called to the stand and emphatically denied that Riley made any attempt to ring an alarm or did ring any
 There, are you satised with my clients innocence now?" said Lawyer McDonough. smiling.
 Its for the court to be satisfied, not me. No, I'm not" answered the prosecutor.
 In his own behalf Riley denied any complicity in the offense other than being one of the party. He was too drunk to remember anything, he said. He declared that he met Meyers only last night and was told that he was out for a good time and me like a fool walked along with him." said the witness.
 First Case in Twenty Years.
 In summing up the case Prosecutor Klett said that in his twenty years of experience in the local court this is the first case where a false alarm was deliberately rung and the culprits caught, and he thought heavy pen atty should be imposed. The statute provides for a fine of $500 and costs and a year in prison or both. The prosecutor suggested the limit as a warning.
 Heavy Sentences Imposed.
 Judge Meskill discharged Riley and fined Kelly $100 and costs. letting him off easy becaues it was his first ap- pearance in court and he had pre- viously had a good reputation. Mey- CTS, Judge Meskill termed the ring leader and sent him to jail Tor three months and fined him $200 and costs.
 Meyers has only lately been re- leased from jail, having been sent up before on a complaint by his father.
