PROBE OF BAD ODORS
in WATER ADVOCATED
Chief Davis, of City Bureau,
Would Investigate Deposits
in Schuylkill.

Chief Carleton e. Davis, OF the Bureau
of Water, advocates a thorough investi-
cation of deposits of culm and coal in
the Schuylkill River, which are declared
to be responsible for unpleasant odors
and tastes in Philadelphia's water supply.
The coal deposits affecting the taste and
odor of the water in the stream are de-
clared by Chief Davis to be in the bed
of both the east and west branches of
the Schuylkill, about 30 miles above PhIla-
delphia.
Director Cooke, of the Department of
Public Works, may act on the suggestion
of Chief Davis and request Councils to
make an appropriation for investigation
OF the stream.
The odors and tastes in the water, al
though Objectionable, are declared to be
harmless from disease standpoint The
filtration system of the city, although
taxed to Its utmost, mainly because OF
water waste. is efficiently purging the
water of disease basterla, as shown by
the remarkable decrease in typhoid fever
In Philadelphia last year. when the num-
Der of cases was the smallest for any
single year in the last decade
Filtration. however, will not remove OBJ
jectional taste in the water, and Chief
tacking the source of the trouble He
declares action should be taken, because
the Schuylkli River Is the source of sup
ply for more than 100000 900 gallons OF
water consumed in Philadelphia daily.
Millions OF dollars have been expended by
Philadelphia In installing its filtration
system.

BOYS STOLE DOZEN MOTORS
Confess to Thefts for Joy-riding in
West Philadelphia.

Four boys confessed to Judge German
in the Juvenile Court today that they
were responsible for the sudden disap
pearance Of about dozen automobiles In
West Philadelphia during the past month.
They were arrested by Special Police
man Kennedy. and said they were How
ard Morgan, l3 years old 1904 South 51th
street; Bernard O'Connell, IS. home not
given; Morris Rubin, l3, 6ls South 56th
street and George McGready. II. 421 South
56th street Morgan was the leader. He
has been arrested several times, and the
last time he was at the House of Deten-
tion he escaped with another boy whose
home is in Wilmington, where Morgan
accompanied him and where he was
taught by the other boy TO operate an
automobile.
Morgan said he stole at least four OF the
machines, the others keeping watch. After
riding about for an hour or so the boys
would abandon the stolen car and imme-
diately look around for another one Nor
gan was committed to the House of
Refuge. O'Connell was held for further
hearing next Friday; McGready was
placed on probation. and Rubin. who
merely accepted ride on invitation, was
discharged.

Perry Survive Perils That
Threatened Santa Marta.

Edward Perry. head Of the clothing
C. Perry, both Of 20ls North 2sd street.
are back in Philadelphia today after
landing at New York from the United
Fruit liner Santa Marta, which was
towed into port by two wrecklng tugs
MIR. Perry celebrated his 18th birth
day on the Santa Marta while the veE-
sci, her rudder torn away by the heavy
seas was wallowlng bout helplessly IN
dangerous proximity to Diamond Shoals,
The Santa Marta wss helpless for ~
hours, part Of which time the revenus
cutter Onondaga was standing BY unable
to get a line aboard because of the
storm.
Tho vessel sailed from Colon February
Q, touched at Kingston and then headed
for New York. Bad weather began TO
develop one day out II grew steadily
worse until the intensity OF the storm
almost prevented the vessel from max
ing headway. Then n great wave swept
over the fruit steamer on the Afternoon
of Thursday February Is, and snapped on
the rudder post.
The storm was slow in abatins. FL
forts on the part of the crew 10 rig
UP a jury rudder wore unsuccessful for
some time When the makeshift steering
apparatus finally was completed IT lasted
only half an hour before a wave swept
II away.
Passengers by this time were badly
worried They importuned the captain
Of the Santa Marta to put into Norfolk
when the onondsga got in touch. The
cutter was near all this time, but lad
trouble locating the Santa Marta The
captain said he had to walt for in-
structions from tho agents of his vessel
and then Is of the passengers sent
wireless to the marine superintendent
of the line. They received no answer
The Santa Maria was l6 miles on Dia-
mond Shoals and facing certain destruc-
tlon when the Onondaga got near enough
to render assistance, but there was no im-
mediate danger and wrecklng tugs were
on the way. The cutter had to stand by
under the law until the wreckers got the
vessel in tow. Then the cutter fastened
a line to the stern of the Santa Maria and
trailcd into New York harbor acting as
the rudder
The elder MIR. Perry headed list of
passengers who drew UP set of resolu-
tions thanking Captain Dawson, of the
Santa Marta, for his work, and collected
$50 to buy him a loving cup. Neither OF
the Phlladelphians is any worse today
for his experience.

Thinking of Vacation.

Hornets are singing In Long Island
bluebirds are piping new lays in Jersey,
frogs are croaklng in the League Island

appeared last week. A song sparrow de-
livered few notes down at Point Breeze.
Following in the wake of all these. two
inches went off women's skirts and more
overcoats appeared in the windows OF
pawnbrokers' shops,
Therefore, spring Is here again.
At least 40 prophets announced that II
arrived last week. but this brought forth
Indignation from twoscoTe of professional
weather forecasters whose word is law
at the postoffice, the barber shop and the
country store.
Speaking OF the hornets mentioned
above. Elliott Hassman. who, according
to a New York paper. is an artist and
author. was stung by pair OF them
while sketching on his lawn. One OF his
neighbors was hit with a baseball. The
other birds and animals mentioned were
content to come out and announce that
II was time to feel warmer without max

WEATHER PROPHETS LAUGH
AT Last They Come Into Their Own
After Record Day.

After just one week of the most pleas
ant Februarylweather which ever induced
the people of a city to say. well. this
can't last LONG," the prophets came into
their own today. Seven days of balmy
weather of the variety that customarily
ushers in the baseball season. gave way
to a numid, oppressive atmosphere that
will materially lessen Philadelphia's
comfort
The thermometer registered 81 at 8
o'clock this morning. This is not remark
ably high, as February temperatures go.
but the amount of moisture in the air
made this weather oppressive. slight
drizzle of rain fell almost continuously,
with now and then heavy downpour,
which switched and drove like an autumn
shower. The warm weather and the rain
are expected TO continue today.
One record was made by yesterdays
temperature II reached the highest
point on a February % for Al years. At
p. IN. the mercury was at So degrees.
II degrees higher than a February day
usually when II is playing true to form.
In 1874 the corresponding days tempera-
