NO truth IN IT
General Wood Says Proctor
Still His Manager.
Calls RumOr of "Firing Him"
Enemy Propaganda.

Chicago. June 4.-"Enemy propa-
ganda without an atom of truth in
it," was Gen. Leonard Woods com
ment today on reports originating here
that he had fired Col. William
Cooper Proctor as chairman of his
campaign committee, and had put
Frank H. Hitchcock in sole charge of
his campaign.
; "a change in the management of
the campaign has not even been con-
sidered," continued Wood. THE whole
business is enemy propaganda intend
ed to cause dissension and distrust.
Colonel Proctor is chairman of the
campaign committee and will continue
right thru"
Wood said all he wants from his
opponents is fair play and no ia
vors" He declared when the source
ofsthe propaganda" became apparent,
it would help. not harm, him. He de-
clined to fix responsibility for the
propaganda
Senator Hiram Johnson told callers
at his headquarters today that he is
"tickled to pieces with the situation"
Johnson said the reception he got on
his arrival here yesterday was typical
of the response all over the country,
not to an individual. but to the thing
have been preaching for a year.
Wherever you go and attack what
the present administration has tried
to do in our international affairs, you
will find an overwhelming response,
said Johnson. This public sentiment
makes me feel very hopeful"

full recognition in the party on So
SO basis" Miss Hay said. THAT is
what they ought to have and what we
are going to ask.
THE women must not be kept on
the friEges of the organization and
used merely for decorative purposes.
After fighting seventy years for suf-
frage they will not be satisfied with
any agreement that seeks only to pla-
cate, If mot actually to exploit them.
They are watching and are anxious to
render service to the party but they
will be quick to resent any four flush
ing by the party or any candidates.
In Secret Councils, Too.
'It is not fair to exclude women
from secret councils of the party.
They must be taken in on full faith
and authority

ASKS CITY To PAY
Commissioner StanfieId Would
Charge for Water Used.
Says Municipality Consumes SO
Per Cent of Supply.

The city will have to pay the water
department the cost of producing the
water which it uses, if w. A STAN
field, water commissioner, has his say
so in the matter. Stanfield indicated
today that he was going to make a
fight to make the city pay for the
water it uses
Il see no reason why the water de-
partnTent should carry the rest of the
city, the commissioner declared to-
day. 1.-THE city uses So per cent of the
water produced by us and pays nothing
for it. 1 believe it should pay the pro-
duQion cost"
StRnfield said the fact that there is
a dead loss on all water used by the
city and that the present rate schedule
does not meet the needs is to blame
for the water rates here being as
high as they are.
The water commissioner favors a
change in the water rates and for that
purpose will meet with a civic COM
mittee to discuss alterations. The
only rates he favors changing are the
minimum and that for the big con-
sumner who uses over $4,000 cubic feet
of water a month. Stanfield declares
the minimum should be not less than
so cents, instead of 40. He believes
the large consumer should pay from
10 to IL cents per thousand gallons
over $4,000 cubic feet instead of the
present rate of 8 cents. Some large
consumers actually get water at less
than it costs the city to produce it,
Stanfield declared. Water costs IA. 2
thousand gallons to produce, the an
nual report showed.

ing to the report of F. c. Bowen, coun-
ty assessor. The taxable personal

the county was s1,65o,420; this year
lit is $2.524,175.
