FILTRATION PLANT DEDICATED.
LARGEST Water Purifier in World In
stalled at St. Louis.

St. Louis, May 15-What is said to
be the largest filtration plant In the
world was dedicated today at the Cha1n
OF Rocks, the site Of the st. Louis city
water. works on the Mississippi river at
the extreme northern end OF the city.
The filtration plant cost 100000, and
is so large that 150.000.000 gallons OF
water can pass thru it every twenty
four hours, absolutely pure; and IN
case Of emergency this can be In
creased to 00,000,000 gallons.
The opening of the filtration plant Is
the last step deemed necessary lot
years to come to assure st. LOUIS OF
clear water. The city's water is taken
from the muddy Mississippi river, ana
first is given a chemical treatment that
precipitates the solids and foreign mat
ter. The water then passes thru ser
les OF settling basins. from which 1t
emerges clear. For years this system
was sufficient to assure the city clear
water. but as the demands for water
grew with the growth Of the city, 1t
was noticed that in hot weather or
when the river was unusually muddy,
the water " - drawn thru the settling
basins so fast that it poured out OF
the faucets slightly discolored.
The great sand filter then was built.
The water now will pass from the set
Ting basins into the filter, and thence
into the mains. The filter, 1t Is be
lieved by engineers, will assure the
people of ST Louis absolutely clear wa
ter turnout the hottest weather.
For years, ST. Louis struggled VIII
the problem of clarifying the muddy
river water, and when the settling pro-
cess was devised it attracted attention
in engineering circles turnout the
world.
The dedicatory exercises today were
attended by many delegates from the
convention Of the American Water
| Works Association, which met at Gin
cinnati, May 10.

Ten. Dollar Cattle Talk.

Since the recent advance in cattle
values bullish prophecy has been some-
what rampantly and confidently made.
Predictions of $40 trade is distinctly
audible and, it may be added, is by no
means improbable. So many factors
enter into the determining Of cattle
prices that planning a bull campaign
needs other material than what has
happened recently.
Supply deficiency is admitted, but
the extent to which this will be coun-
teracted by decreased consumption has
yet to be determined. Pork is album
dant, but mutton scarcity must be
taken into consideration. When all
the factors entering into the equation
are weighed there appears to be justi-
fication for expectancy Of better prices.
AS long as the European war con-
tinues army consumption Of both beef
and hog products will be abnormaliy
large, eliminating foreign competition
in the United States market.-Live-

BLAME PUT ON KAISER.
British Demand Government Procia.
nation Fixing Responsibility.

London, May 15.-The riots which
occurred earlier in the week have
given place to condemnation by pub
lie men of the German emperor and
his advisers, VINO are charged with the
responsibility for the actions which
have aroused public anger The de-
mand is made that the British govern
ment publicly proclaim the personal
responsibility of members of the Ger
man government for the outrages per-
petrated by German officers or their
agents during the present war"
A resolution in this sense was moved
at a public meeting in Chelsea last
night by Lord Charles Beresford, and
was seconded by Lord Robert Cecil.
1t was unanimously passed.
Confiseation Is Urged.
Lord Beresford urged that all Ger
man property in the British empire be
confiscated, and that all rich Ger
mans, whether naturalized OF not, be
interned until British prisoners In
Germany are treated as honorable
prisoners Of war"
Lord Cecil said he had been told
that Emperor William did not approve
of what had been done, but the speak
err declared that II the German en-
peror disapproved and allowed these
things to go on he was ten times more
guilty and must be punished; TINS
must be one condition of any peace.

American consulate yesterday to pre-
vent their being repatriatad in conse-
uuence of the decision of the govern
ment announced Thursday by Premier
Asauith. Most of the callers at the
consulate were either over or under the
ipternment age.
These persons explained that for
years their homes had f, been in this
country and that thar deportation "a

by them as a greater calamity than

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-"Exhaust-
ed patience" Of this government with
Great Britain precipitated the present
alton Of the note protesting against
interference with American shipping.
The presidents forbearance reached
the breaking point. Reluctant. the
president felt compelled by England's
action on former shipping protests
TO present the note.
This, according to official sources
today, was the actual situation as
seen from an administration point.
The formal note was the eliminating
incident In series OF formal and in
formal protests against the sea police
policy OF Great Britain. The British
foreign Office had disregarded. temper
lied and even completely ignored con-
tinuous complaints, verbal and writ
ten. The only alternative, II was de-
cided, was TO present en- bloc, the
American cause In such fashion that
further temporizing and disregard of
serious injury to Americas commerce
would be impossible.
A high official declared today that
OF a score complaints made in cases of
individual American ships, only a few
had apparently received official con-
sideration by the British foreign office.

VIENNA, Jan. 2.-There Is now no

that the Russians, in enormous force,

expeditions this one represents Grand
Duke Nicholas long cherished plan

1915 BUILDING
OUTLOOK GOOD
Old Year Closes Quietly, But

Projects on Hand

The final week OF 1914 faded into
building history without any very Inn
pressive showing as far as new pro-
jects were concerned, according TO the
report OF the Builders & Traders ex-
change.
However, this showing was nothing
more than was to be expected at the
closing period OF the old year and
II is materially discounted by the
prospects for 1915.
The architects state that they are
busy on plans which will not be
brought forth for figures until early
spring and that the indications are
good for the coming year.
The general optimism seems to per
wade the building field as well, and IL
seems certain that construction will

Russia Hopes to Ciue
Austria Coup De Grace

PETROGRAD. Jan. 2.-lnterest in
the campaign Is divided between the
operations in the Carpathians and In
Caucasia. The Russian troops which
routed the Austrians have succeeded
In capturing four OF the passes
through the mountains and already
the fleeing Austrians are being driven
south In Hungary. The Russian
losses In the operation are admittedly
heavy but not out of proportion to
the success achieved
Officials frankly declare that II has
been decided to make another su-
preme attempt to crush once for all
the main Austrian defensive along
the Carpathians. Meanwhile the gen.
eral operations in Western Galicia and
in Poland are being pressed with
vigor to make realignment OF the
Austrian forces impossible.
The lighting In the Caucasus con-
tinues to develop with both sides
bringing up fresh forces. Already the
operations cover front OF 10 miles
and neither side has scored a de-
cided point. although the Turkish
forces have lost far more heavily
than the Russians.

WORKMEN'S LAW
APPLIES TO CITIES
Detroit Loses in Appeal From
Award by State Compensa-
tiOn Board

The workmen's compensation law
is applicable to Detroit, and its pro-
visions supersede those of the city
charter with regard to compensation
claims, according to a ruling by the
state Industrial accident board In
denying an appeal by Corporation
Counsel Lawson to have an award
set aside. In the opinion OF the board
1t is clearly competent for the legis.
lature to impose on municipalities
the duty OF paying compensation to
workmen injured In their service, or
to the dependents Of such workmen
in case OF death.
The city's appeal to the full board
was taken In the case of William
Marshall, d. p W. employe, who died
March 20, 1913, as the result of In
juries he received while at work, the
contention being that the widows
claim was barred because she did not
comply with the provisions of the
charter In filing. II was argued In
support OF this that the charter. be
ing a local act, is not modified or af-
fected with reference To this require
ment by the workmen's compensation
law.
