whether or not YOU boil your drinking
water today depends on where YOU owe
your allepiance-to the city or to the
State.
For Dr Samuel G.. Dixon, state Com
missioner Of Health, says to Philadel-
phians. "Pon your drinking water.
And Dr. Wilmer Krusen, Director of the
Department of Public Health and Chari-
ties. says: mot at all; it's not neces-
sary."
Doctor Dixon represents the state and
Director Erusen the city. The lines are
being drawn sharply People are declar-
ing themselves, the "hyphenates" are be-
ing sought out and there can be no nett
trality" unless one drinks no water at
all.
The unexpected warning from Harris
burg was almost at once met with
commensurate by Doctor Krusen. He
hastily went into conference with Chief
Carlton Il. Davis. of the Water Bureau,
and the Two issued n statement in short
order to the effect that the city's water
supply was absolutely safe.
"Thcre are no colon hacill in Philadel-
phia's water" announced Doctor krusen.
THAT proves it's pure. The colon bacillus
test ia the European standard for safety,
and over there they allow 100 bacteria per
cubic centimetre and call water pure.
We have never had one-third of this
count and often the number ranges
around six, seven and eight, which
makes the water absolutely safe"
The archaeological reports of the Bu-
reau of Health for the last months were
cited to show that the water is purer
now than before the warning was issued.
Chief Davis said that the Bureau of
Surveys had received a new supply of dis
infectant for use in the PcnnynaCk Creek
sewage disposal plant, the one under
fire City health officials agreed that the
Health Commissioners warning was
based on the report that the supply of
hypochlorite of lime at this plant had
been exhausted

CHARGES WILSON RENEGED
Senator Norris Attacks President on
Railway Reform

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-President
Wilson's plan to investigate the general
railroad situation was attacked today by
Senator Norris as a political dodge to
escape fulfilling Democratic promises for
reform railway legislation.
HE told us in a message" said Norris,
"of the injury done to all through the
burglary of railway systems by directors.
For some reason known only to himself
he abandoned the Democratic promise of
regulation of railroad securities by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. He
proposes an investigation that will last
until after the next election.
Senator Norris said no more nvestga-
tiou was needed to prove the necessity Of
legislation to protect the savings OF
people from INSCRIPTIONS directors.

undertaking, according to the Official
reports just received at Headquarters

Fort Riviere was built by the

for years. 1t mas always been a hot

Maj. Smedley Darlington Butla led
the expedition againt Riviere, and to
the Fifth company, under Capt. Will
liam W. Low, was assigned the task
of making the main or frontal attack.
This company deployed at Distance
of about 1900 yards from the Portland

The Caco fire was continuous but the
aim Of the attacking party Of ma
rines was so deadly that they we're
enabled in very short time t get
into position from which the fort
could be stormed. With eharaderis

and although the Cacos stuck totheil
guns until the marines had actually
entered the fort, they were unal le to
inflict a single casualty in the tanks

Major Butler then ordered TIP fort

OF the old structure were destroyed,
the revolutionary hopes and ambitions
of the north Haiti Cacos were buried
beneath the ruins Of Riviere.
