kthat the league had been organized
in the interests of munition makers

declaration of war.
There are no greater enemies to

enough terms to deny the imputa-

do you consider it impossible
that the league had Interior motives
when the chairman Of its congress
sional committee was a broker inter-
ested in increasing the price of hemp
and his chief assistant was a well
known lobbyist?" Chairman johnson
asked.
yes, impossible" answered Mr..
Root. 'The policies of the league
were determined by all the members
and the men you mention only car
ried them out"
NO ULTERIOR MOTIVE
Representative King of Illinois,
continued Mr.. Johnson, was criti-
cized by members OF the Illinois
branch of the league for having used
the name of j. Pierpont Morgan In
a speech against the packing inter-
ests. and was asked what his ideas
were in regard to government owner
ship OF railroads. Doesn't that show
the league has Interior motives?"
Absolutely no." replied Mr.. Root.
The persons who asked Mr.. King
those suestions had no authority
whatsoever from the league for do
ing SO. no more than they would
have had for asking him what his
religion was or his family relations
were"

Possibly IL would have been If the

HAS NEW PLAN FOR
D. c. WATER SUPPLY

Another plan for coping with the
water shortage which threatens the
city is being discussed today by city
officials and members Of the House
District Committee.
1t was devised by District Sanitary
Engineer Asa E. Phillips. who be-
Iieves that his plan will furnish an
adequate supply at a saving Of mil
lions OF dollars.
Mr.. Phillips believes that under his
plan the supply can be so augmented
as to provide all needs until 1910,
and the details will require only a
period OF six months to complete.
His proposal is for the maintenance
OF a higher level in the Dalecarlia
reservoir of an additional supply of
water at that point to meet maximum
consumption requirements by pump
ing from the Potomac level above
Little Falls.
The report submit ed by Engineer
Phillips was made after an investi-
cation covering a period OF two
months.
Under his recommendations the ca
pacity of the water system can be in
creased to 12O.OO0.OOO gallons a day.
as compared with the present esti-
mated safe daily capacity of the con-
duit OF $4,000, 900 gallons, at a cost of
not more than 100000.
To increase the supply in accord
ance with plans heretofore submit
ted would cost not less than $12 .OOO,-
GOO on the basis OF present prices,
Mr.. Phillips estimates, while the time
required for doing the work would
probably be seven years.

ZONE COMMISSION

Regulation OF building in the
city as to height, area. and use Of

both the House and Senate recently.
The coming commission, under the
bill, is to consist Of. the District

atoms of the special committee which
was appointed several months ago
by the District Commissioners for the
revision of the existing building reg
ulations. This special committee
