Hint Of Possible Start Of Drinking
Water Controversy in Letter
Received TO-
day.
DIFFERENT STANDARDS
That Of Railroads in Interstate Traf-
fic Higher Than That for
Ordinary
Use.

A hint of the possible start Of the
drinking water controversy here Is
contained in q letter received today
by DR.. c. H. Fegers, city physician,
from Henry Albert, director OF the
state board of health laboratories.
The difference between the water
standards for railroad use and COM
mon use, is probably at the root OF
the matter. It can be cleaned from
the communication, which also con-
tains an o. K. on the last sample
examined and which in part is as fol-
lows:
Iowa City, Iowa. Jan. 4, 1917
''Dr. G. H. Fegers.
'Keokuk, Iowa.
Dear Doctor:
IT submit our report upon the last
sample of water which you sent us.
AS was telegraphed to you, the pre-
liminary examinations show the
water to be satisfactory, and the
check examinations which were made
necessary by the presence OK the acid
colony and the gas forming bacteria
show that this sample was in good
condition when collected, and that
the water supply at this time was OF
satisfactory quality. 1t complied with
the government standard for inter-
state carriers. In regard to this
| standard of the government 1t should
BE- mentioned that the government In
forming this standard did SO upon q
report Of the committee which was
by no means unanimous, and that 1t
/, was intended to be enforced only In
! the case OF water supplied to trains
in interstate traffic. Tie idea was
that the government could require
greater purity in such waters than
il ordinarily required of cities In the
publication of water because OF the
much smaller amount of water re-
CURED by the railroad company for
the purposes mentioned. The rail
road company's chemists and othera,
at times have reported waters un-
satisfactory for use when what they
meant was that 1t would not comp Y
with the government standard for
water supplied by Interstate car
rters. These remarks coming into
the hands of officials and of the pub
lie have at times lead to unpleasant
circumstances and criticism of water
supplies which long experience has
shown were harmless. In judging the
reports made by government fnspec-
tors and railrc ad chemists this should
| be kept thoroughly In mind"

iron of Farragut Field. The game
got under way at the usual time. $50

The Middies did not anticipate much
difficulty in downing the Farmers,
and Coach Gilmour Dobie did not
make much special preparation in
pointing his charges for the fray. ex
cept to correct certain faults that
cropped out in course of the game
with the West virginian University
eleven last Saturday. when the sailor
lads went down to defeat by score
of to 0.
Maryland State will have TO go into
the game without the services of its
best back, Fletcher. Possibly it may
not have either of the halfbacks who
started last week against Delaware
College. Fletcher twisted his knee
SO much in a scrimmage Thursday
against Gallaudet that he could
hardly walk off the field, and Snyder
still is limping around because of
bruised shin received in the contest
with Delaware College last week.
Macdonald will go into one of the
halfback positions, with the possibil
ity that Wiseman, an end, may play
the other.
While the Middies and the Aggies
were lighting it out, the green"

were struggling with one of their old

AMERICAN SHIPS
ABOVE $500 TONS
Government To Requisition Both
Freight And Passengers
Vessels Next Monday.
TO CONTROL OCEAN RATES
Soaring Freight Charges Prompt Con-
certed Action by United States
And Allies.

As a war emergency measure the
United States Shipping Board will
requisition all American ocean car
so and passenger-carrying vessels. OF
ever $500 tons at noon of next Mon
DAY, October Is. This action, which
is taken as a means of effectively
controlling and regulating ocean
freight rates and to enable the gov
ernment to obtain prompt command
of the sea tonnage it needs for war
uses. was forecasted on September q
last when the Shipping Board issued
statement giving the charter rates
at which the vessels would be taken
over. The limit probably will be low
cred soon to include vessels of more
than 1900 tons.
Last night the Shipping Board
made public at Washington the text
of the official notification to the own
ers of all ships affected by the requi-
sition order. American merchant
vessels available for ocean traffic to-
tai slightly more than 100000 tons,
but some of them have been taken
over already for use by the army and
navy. In most instances, except
where they are required for actual
government service, the ships will be
turned back to their owners for
operation on government account,
subject at all times to any disposi-
tion that the Shipping Board may di-
rect
