WOODS SPIKES WILD
WATER PLOT RUM0R
Tale Of Conspiracy to Blow Up
Aqueduct Stalks Down
From White Plains.

Police Con missioner Arthur Woods
shot a great big hole in u wild eyed
German plot rumor that s,alkcd down
from White Plains last night in the
guisc OF a diabolicai scheme on the part
of foreign emi>saries 10 blow up the
Catskill aqueduct. or the Croton water

in the city's suburban reservoirs.
The ruror took life from the harmless
visit, of a score of the ci,y's detectives

day At first the rumor wore the mask
OF a plot OF Hastings munitions strikers,
hu, last night II changed to an old re-
liable German plot. the latter being a
ha rdier species.
This Is the way the story looked when
it left the telegrapher's typewriter:

The notion that Germany would he

Germany would never be better pre-.

fact Is, nobody can tell what Mould

In Col Church's opinion it would
