kRUC PARK POOL
Filling Of Basin Requires
Over 100000 Gallons
Of Water; Surface Gov
erS Over Acre,

The city Board of Health, after a
thorough investigation. has placed
its 20. K" on the method for the
sterilization and publication .of the
water that will be used in the new
bathing beach at Krug park and pro-
nounce it, from a sanitary and
healthful standpoint, the most mod
ern outdoor bathing beach in the
country.
Every provision for the proper
and thorough sterilization and puri-
fcation OF every drop of water in
the pool has been provided for"
said H. L. Bridwell when comment
ing on the investigation.
an our investigation we found
that the water used in the pool will
be taken from the regular city sup
ply; the same used by the city for
drinking and household use and
after treatment will be kept in con-
slant circulation throughout the
pool with a complete change of wa
ter being made every eight hours.
All the water, before entering the
pool, which, by the way, requires
over 100000 gallons and spreads
over a surface of more than an acre,
will be screened, filtered and steril-
lied by an entirely new process Of
water publication called ozonation"
The purified water enters contin-
uously at various points around the
circumference of the pool about 50
feet apart and under the surface of
the water and is drawn off through
splash cutters entirely surrounding
the pool.
The constant circulation which
has been provided for assures fresh,
pure and clean Crystalline water at
all times and free from stagnant and
impure pockets.

Mrs. Henderson was"
did that strike you as eurious?
Martin looked down his nose. If
you ask me the question, sir" he
said with reserve. II had not known
him enter that room since we came
here this year. He preferred to sit
in the library in the evenings. That
evening he only remained with Mrs.
Henderson for few minutes. Then
he and Mr.. Marlowe started i'm

Of Bishopsbridge."
And you saw Mr. Henderson
after an hour or thereabouts. sir,
in the library. That would have
been about quarter past II, l should
say; l had noticed II striking from
the church. l may say l am pc
culiarly quick of hearing, sir"
Mr.. Henderson had rung the
bell for you, ! suppose. Yes? And
what passed when you answered it?'
"Mr. Henderson had put out the
decanter of whisky and syphon
and glass, sir, from the cupboard
where he kept them"
Trent held up his hand. while
we are on that point, Martin, l
want to ask you plainly, did Mr..
Henderson drink very much? You
understand this is not impairment
curiosity on my part. l want you
to tell me because it may possibly
help in the clearing up of this
case"
Perfectly, sir" replied Martin
gravely. II have no hesitation in
telling you what I have already told
the Inspector. Mr.. Henderson was,
considering his position in life. a
remarkably abstemious man. In my
four years of service with him |
never knew anything of an alcoholic
nature pass his lips except a glass
or two of wine at dinner, very rarely
little at luncheon, and from time
to time whisky-and-soda before
going to bed. He never seemed to
form a habit of it. Often I used to
find his glass in the morning with
only little soda water in it; some
times he would have been having
whisky with it, but never much. He
never was particular about his
drinks; ordinary soda was what he
preferred, though I had ventured to
suggest some of the natural min.
erals, having personally acquired
taste for them in my previous serv-
ice. He used to keep them in the
cupboard here because he had a
great dislike of being waited on
more than was necessary. It was
an understood thing that I never
came near him after dinner unless
sent for. And when he sent for any.
thing, he liked it brought quick, and
to be left alone again at once. He
hated to be asked if he required
anything more. Amazingly simple
in his tastes, sir, Mr.. Henderson
was"
very we'll; and he rang for yor
that night about a quarter past II
Now can you remember exactly wha
he said?"
al think I can tell you with some
approach to accuracy, sir. 1t was no.
much. First he asked me if Mr.
Bunner had gone to bed, and I re-
piled that he had been gone up some

Would 1t bore you to hear what he
has to say agsin?" he asked at
length. For reply, Mr.. Murch rang
the bell. A spare, clean-shaven. mid
dle-aged man, having the servants
manner in its most distinguished
form, answered it.
This is Mr.. Trent, who 10 au-
thorized by Mrs. Henderson to go
over the house and make inquiries,
explained the detective. He would
like to hear your story" Martin
bowed distantly. He recognized
Trent for a gentleman. Time would
show whether he was what Martin
called a gentleman in every sense
of the word.
II observed you approaching the
house, sir" said Martin with impas
sive courtesy. He spoke with slow
and measured utterance. MY in
structions are to assist you n every
possible way. Should you wish me
to recall the circumstances of Sum
day night?"
please" said Trent with pom
derous gravity. Martins style was
making clamorous appeal to his
sense of comedy. He banished with
an effort all vivacity of expression
from his face.
Il last saw Mr.. Henderson"
mo, not that yet" Trent checked
him quietly. Tell me all you saw
of him that evening-after dinner
say. Try to recollect every little
detail"
After dinner, sir?-yes, | re-
member that after dinner Mr.. Man
derson and Mr.. Marlowe walked up
and down the path through the or
chard, talking. If you ask me for
details, it struck me they were talk
ing about something important, be-
cause I heard Mr.. Henderson say
something when they came in
through the back entrance. He said,
as near as I can remember: If Har-
ris is there, every minute is of i'm
portance. You want to start right
away. And not word to soul
Mr.. Marlowe answered.: Very we'll.
I will just change out of these
clothes and then I'm ready'-or
words to that effect. I heard this
plainly as they passed the window
Of my pantry. Then Mr.. Marlowe
went up to his bedroom and Mr.
Henderson entered the library and
rang for me. He handed me some
letters for the postman in the morn
ing and directed me to sit up, as Mr..
Marlowe had persuaded him to go
for drive in the car by moonlight"
That was curious" remarked
Trent.
II thought so, sir. But I recol-
lected what l had heard about not a
word to a SOUL and I concluded that
this about moonlight drive was in
tended to mislead."
What time was this?"
ut would be about 10, sir, I
should say. After speaking to me,
Mr.. Henderson waited until Mr..
Marlowe had come down and

my thoughts were busy, not with
Alice Holcombe's cheerful ready
words, but with the dismayed
expression I had seen leap into her
eyes with my announcement.
She didn't want me to go for some
reason which I was sure was uncon-
nected with the work developing
upon US in the absence of Mr..
Stockbridge. She had spoken only
the trnth. There was nothing
especial on hand, and I knew that
Alice Holcombe was the last person
in the world to object to extra
work. She was generous in the
extreme in thought and action. 1t
was not the thought of extra work
that was troubling her.
With a sudden impulse put my
hand on her shoulder

6. Q. P. SPLIT IN CONGRESS ADDS ID
 INEFFI ICIENCY 0F LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
Republicans in Caucus Berate Each Other For Failure to Stand By ''Party Measures" and
 Knock MOndeII Soldier Bill.

Washington. Sept 15.-Party dis scns.oa is the latest development in the Republican Congress which has been sta=aared by inefficient and lack of constructive leadership ever since the c. D. I,. came into control of the legislative branch of the govern meut.
 The split occurred at Republican House caucus Iasl week. Meeting behind closed doors. the Republicans Gerajed each other for their failure 10 stand together on what they were pleased to term party questions and then turned their guns on the lIondcU soldier land bill of which the Republican floor leader is the spon- sOr.
 From the viewpoint of the coun- try's fighting forces in the recent war, the opposition to the Nondell bill is the most important The dctermtn- atiOu of a. large majority of the Re publican House membership not to accept this measure in the form in which it has been framed merely echoes the sentiment previously ex- pressed by Democratic leaders. Representative Ferris Of Oklahoma. the former Democratic chairman of
 
 repeatedly warned the Republicans that the soldiers were not satisfied with the bill which seeks to parcel among them only unGeveIopcd arid and swamp lands of the west and south
 Evidently Mir. Ferris demand that the provisions of the bill be broad ened has had its affect on the Repub- Icans. because at their party caucus they literally made a. football of the,r floor leaders pet measure. Only an ardent plea by Mir. MondeT not to put the House majority in the hole pre- vented a straightout repudiation of his proposal.
 Prom a party standpoint" he said "it would be most unfortunate to have the word go forth to the country that the Republicans in Con gress had decided to postpone, at least for the present, any further action on the only bill that has been introduced in this session in behalf of | The discharged soldiers of the army With usual Republican inaccuracy. | MT. MondeI failed to state the whole truth What he should have said was that the land bill is the only | soldier measure the Republicans have permitted to see the light of day. | Many bills beneficial to the soldiers have been offered by Democrats. but | because Democrats proposed them | they have been pigeon-holed in com mittee.

one New York newspaper termed a fiery" speech, reflecting the bitter disappointment he felt some weeks ago when thirty Republicans voted for the Kelly amendment allowing secretary of War Baker to use parcel post in sending out the army foods which Reavis' sub committee had vainly sought to show the Secretary had withheld from the American people.
 The b-committee had discussed this and decided against such an amendment" Reavis was quoted as saying. If we make such recom- mendatious, we don't want to come into the House and be crucified by cur own party. For Gods sake stand with us"
 Harold Knutson. the Republican whip, electrified his party colleagues by announcing that he was about to install 9 caIIboy system in an effort to bring Republican members quickly to the floor.
 'Tnere is q Republican majority of 47 in the House" said Knutson, "but today thirty-one Republicans were absent and no one knew where they were. There was no trace of them. There should be a Republican majority of fifteen to twenty on the floor every minute. Every hour or so l go into the Democratic cloakroom, and sec how many Democrats are on the floor and, if necessary. l send a call to the Republicans by tele- phone. Why, the other day I actually witnessed a Democrat, motion to adjourn carried by a Republican vote"
 stand by the chairman of your party" cried Knutson, stand by your party, The measures we have are carefully thought out and will help us in 1920. It's Honest to God Republican legislation, and you should support it, I care not what the proposition is. There is one man on the Republican side who had not been here since June, and he's not sick either. You must watch the Democrat Is or they'll put over an amendment on us. They're working at it all the time They've got the greatest outfit of big burglars and hot air artists on that side imaginable"
 Knutson's speech broke up the meeting.

WHAT THE STARS SAY ABOUT
 PRESIDENT WILSON'S FUTURE

26, and this will be a fine time for our President to study, plan and think and to attend to work of a purely mental character, for his mind will be exceptionally bright at this time.
 IL is the opinion of the writer that it makes little difference to our Pres ident even when the planets are not favorinE him, as he is jus coming out of a very strenuous period of his life. in which the planets have been at their most adverse angles to his Birthday Sign. and still with all the opposition, he did not allow the plan cts to impede his progress, because of his exceptionally strong wiil-pow- CT and common-sense. No other man could have succeeded under the same hazardous period when the whole world depended upon good judgment.
 Saturn, called the Evil planet" has not helped MT Wilson since 1913. For the two years previous to July, 1917, Saturn was passing through Cancer, his most adverse sign, and he may have witnessed many troubles and adversities at this time, from which he has not yet had time to re- cover, but he will make rapid prog ress now since Saturn has reached lLln lllDSL Id D4 ING SlSli 6O5 Au6. l Q (this year) and from this date on, for che evening of September 20. move forward with great speed men tally, physically and financially, up- on most anything he undertakes. In the year beginning August, 1920, how ever, will be the most advanta geous.
 MT. Wilson's most adverse year was from August, 1918 to August, 1919, when Saturn gave him no help and Jupiter was in opposition; but still he laid out broad schemes for helping humanity and fought the opposition very successfully as no other man could have done, even with the sid of all the planets.
 The writer predicts the Peace Treaty and League of Nations Coven- ant will be accepted without further reservations and amendments.
 Furthermore, if the President ac- cepts the nomination .n 1920, he will be elected by the people for the third term.
 Finally. after 1924 a one-Party Government without opposition is predicted.
