RACE HATRED FLAME
 |S SEEMINGLY OUT


 WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Streets of the national capital were patrolled again tonight by a force of cavalry, infantry and marines numbering more than 2,000 men, no precaution being overlooked against a renewed outbreak of the race riots which have occurred on four successive nights.
 Officials were hopeful that the com parative quiet which prevailed last night, marred by only one clash which resulted in the killing of one white man and the fatal wounding of another by a negro, meant that the sudden blaze of race hatred has been extinguished.
 The element of rain, however, which was believed to have Aayed an i'm portant part in keeping people off the streets last night, was lacking tonight

From the earliest mention of iravity system of water works for 'hoenix, engineers, both local and hose brought from the east, have agreed there were only two really possible sources of water for the 4ity. Counting out the Hassay- ,mpa, which was at first consid- )red, due to it's distance and to the iact it has never been known to lave a flow heavy enough for the reeds of city of 75,000, there is eft according to all the nen who lave gone over this part of the country, only the Verde.
 Each expert has agreed that the value of soft water to the city of Phoenix is nestimabe. In fact, one man who reported on the proposition to the commissioners stated that a good supply of soft water was worth to the city just what it cost He was of the opinion that the cost should be considera- ton way at the bottom of a half dozen other considerations.

VERDE IDEAL FOR. OUR WATER SUPPLY ENGINEERS AGREE
Exhaustive Studies of Water Problem Leave Scientific Men Unanimous in Declaring Verde River Will Give City a Bountifu Pure and Cheap
 Supply of City's Greatest Need

Those in charge of securing for Phoenix pure soft water have not agreed with him, laudable as his in tentions were, for he had the well be- ing of the city at heart. It has always been the contention of local men, and borne out by the experts imported, that the cheapest possible system ofswater for the city will be to bring it by gravity from the Verde. It is pointed out in numerous reports that it will be entirely unnecessary to build diver sion dam, in itself costing thousands of dollars. Furthermore in using this source of constant pure water it will not be necessary to build reservoir, with it's consequent condemning of vauable lands and property.
 Verde at City's Door
 The Verde is at the very door of Phoenix, each report made comments on that Phoenix under the Kent de- cision has an everlasting right to the waters of the Verde. In fact, it's water rights are far greater than the amount needed to supply a city of 75,000 in-

LONDON. July 24-The government has received dispatch from Major General William E. Ironside, com mander in chief on the Archangel front, stating that the Russian troops have mutinied and joined the bolshe- wiki, handing over the town of Omega and the Omega front to the enemy. The latter also tried to take the railroad front, but were repulsed. There are few British troops on the railroad front and none on the Omega front. General Ironside now has the situation in hand and believes that the fresh British volunteer troops are equal to their difficult and perilous task.

There is but one adequate water supply for. the city of Phoenix, and that is the Verde River. There is but one time that we know we can get it and that is right now. There will never be a time when the system can be provided for less money, the accom- panying profits being taken into con- sideration. If you love Phoenix vote for the bond.

for gravity pipe line with no hazard ous construction, which can deliver the water under fire or domestic pressure to the city, no pumping being required; sixth, it is believed that an accurate survey will demonstrate that the sys- tenn can be constructed for sum that would be a fine investment for the city.
 In speaking of the essential consid- erations to be looked into when select ing the source of a water supply for city, MT. Phillips has the following to say:
 "The first consideration in selecting a water supply is it's quality; second, it's quantity; and third, the cost. How ever. cost is relative. The writer con- tends that a pure wholesome and clear water, adequate and safe, is worth to city just what it will cost. A city IS handicapped which has bad water or an inadequate supply.
 "Aerated water from a perennial stream is always more desirable than from storage, no matter how perfect the basin. The writer has given care full consideration to the merits Of the various sources and is decidedly of the opinion that a supply from the Verde river has so many elements in its faVor that the project should be accurately developed before expending further time or money on the other projects mentioned"
 William L. Church of New York conclusively proved that the Verde water would not create the havoc with boilers and plumbing which the pres ent supply does. He had the water analysed by several of the leading chemists of the country and then made this emphatic statement Tt is espe- cially notable for it's freedom from the sulphates which form the permanent boiler scales. The Verde water will re- auire neither sedimentation or filtra- ton, since it is taken from an under flow through stream of open sand and gravel, below the ground surface

In the idle moments that the Red

after the game was postponed be-
cause Of wet grounds. there were
many discussions about Babe" Ruth's
hitting. Some Of the smartest men,
bers Of the Red Sox squad commented
nous vote that he is the most dan
gerous hitter in base ball, as well as
the longest hitter the game has ever
stuffy' Mc1nnis, who might be call
ed one Of Boston's Own because of
having played schoolboy base ball
here when q member of the Gloucester
High School nine. had plenty to say
send-on and also spoke about how
hard it was to follow him in the bat
when those huriers get through
through me-" Stuffy declared. 'They
all have fire in their eyes, and it is
much harder for me, especially when
there are more right handed pitchers
than lefties in the American League"
AcInnis is right-handed batter.
< Often Up in the Pinch.

Babe ut the bat he is up in pinch Of
ten. When they pass Babe they 60
after him twice as hard as they ordi-
narily would. Stuffy is a left-field

fly out or hit into double play.

He has fooled all the pitchers ana
managers despite the fact that about

hits a homer or walks. McInnis can
prove this. however, by showing his
batting average. which is just q few
points behind Ruth's.
Don't See Gloucester Hits.
McInnis has a good time laughing
after Ruth hits a homer. He usually
comes forth with the witty remark:
my hits are not seen after Babe gets
. hold of one, but get just as much
pleasure watching one Of Babes
homers rs do the fans"
"Babe can hit any pitcher In the
American League. He has the right
kind of confidence and it is just the
thing that enables him to drive out
home runs SO often. I look forward
to see him break Freeman's record
and make . new one that will stand
much longer. than that of Bucks.
whom I saw many times when I was
q Kid from the 25-cent bleachers,"
Stuffy continued.
McInnis. contends that Ruth IL the
hardest man in the league to pitch to
and hit after.
The pitchers, while facing Ruth, al
ways are thinking Of hts hitting the
ball back at them. and before him all
pitchers and infielders are in danger
ofshaving one of their arms or legs
hit into the outfeld with the ball.
The Red Sox first baseman is strong
for Ruth and says he fs one Of the
