IMPROVED WATER
SUPPLIES N STATE

Virginia cities and towns have al
ready provided or about to make pro-
vision for improved water. supplies
the eventual cost Of which will reach
an aggregate Of $4,000
OF this sum, by far the largest cx-
penditure II that contemplated by
Norfolk, the completed program Of
which for water supply will repre-
sent an investment Of $6,000,0 900. For
immediate investment for this purpose
the city has provided the sum Of ST.
100000, and will work out its full
program during the next four or i've
years. The, people Of Norfolk have
determined to take every possible pre-
caution against the repetition OF such
a water shortage as that which was
suffered last summer.
The next most important movement
for an increased water supply is that
Of the city of Charlottesville. which
voted bond issue for this and other
betterments on Tuesday. Charlottes-
v1lie's program for an Increased
water supply probably will mean an
expenditure of 100000, caring for
the city's needs for many years to
come.
Other communities taking steps
along this line are Pennington Gap.
which is planning to bring 4 new
supply distance OF Eve miles: Big
Stone Gap, which Is making provision
for . new storage reservoir for emer-
gency use at a cost of $25,003; Coe-
burn, which is negotiating for the
employment OF an engineer to report
on the cost OF a water ana sewerage
system; Culpeper. which has already
made financial provision for filtra-
ton plant and mas an enginec- at
work preparing plans; st. Paul, which
plans to expend 100000 for water
and sewerage system: Bedford City
which has recently voted q bond issue
and has an engineer preparing plans
for its new filtration plant: South
Hill, which Is considering plans for
water works and sewerage system
and Harrisonburg, which is seeking
to increase Its water supply to tide
it over the summer months. 1t pro-
poses to build a storage reservoir for
this purpose.
Every water supply made use of by
a. railway company for furnishing
drinking water to its passengers mus,
be certified to twice each year by the
state board of health. These certif-
Gates are forwarded to the United
States public health service for ap.
proyal. When the state board de-
clines to approve water supply tc
the public health service. railroad
companies are required by law to posi-
notices Mt their station or stations al
the places having the unsafe supply
warming their patrons against the use
Of such water.

tive had appointed Sanders to fill a
| vancancy in the Office, caused by the
resignation of former sheriff Joe l..
M. Ashley, and the statute under
which the appointment was made
gives the governor the right to re-
move an appointee.
In the conclusion of the opinion,
Judge Hydrick says, "ft is conceiv-
able that the misconduct of an officer
may be of such nature as to make
his continuance in Office a reproach
to decent government, while his con-
duct might not necessarily affect the
proper administration of his Office.
But we are not called on to decide
whether the misconduct for which re-
moval may be made must be official
conduct, because we agree with the
governor that the misconduct of
which the officer was found guilty
was of such nature os to affect his
administration Of the office, and that
it was, therefore, official conduct.
The defendant was the highest peace
officer in his county, and when he de-
liberately violated the sanctity of the
home of another, and put himself in
the situation in which he must have
known that if discovered by the out
ragged husband, serious breach of
peace, if not homicide would al
most certainly result, he was guilty
of conduct unbecoming to a peace
officer, and that was official miscon-
duct, for which the governor rightly
removed him from Office"
The cause of the removal was an
affidavit filed with the governor by
former policeman of Anderson, and
that he went to his home one night
last fall and found Sanders and the
policeman's wife locked up in room
together, and that Sanders held
pistol on the policeman while the
then sheriff backed out of the door.

Supreme Court Upholds Gov
ernor in Removing Sheriff
Sanders.

Columbia, S. c., April 3O-The
supreme court in a unanimous opin-
ion today, sustained Governor Coop
er in his removal of j. Olin Sanders
as sheriff of Anderson county. The
opinion was written by Associate
Justice D. E. Hydrick, and was con-
Cured in by Chief Justice Eugene
|B. Gary, and Associate Justices 4.
C. Watts, T. B. Fraser and George
w. Gage.
The court holds Sanders is not
and has not been since the date of his
removal by Governor Cooper the
lawful sheriff of Anderson county,
and that he surrenders the said Office
and the records thereof to the plain
tiff C. G. King, upon his demand
therefor, and that he pay the costs
and disbursements of this action.
Sanders was removed by Governor
Cooper in February for alleged i'm
moral conduct, but refused to sur
render the office to King, who was ap
pointed simultaneously by the chief
executive. The plaintiff then went
before Chief Justice Gary and pro-
cured an order for Sanders to ap-
pear before the supreme court to
show cause why he was entitled to
the office. The hearing was set fol
March thirtieth, but delay until
April 20 was ordered at the time
when the question of certain papers
not having been served on Sanders
was raised.
The supreme court has held that
the governor has not the right to re,
move a sheriff, but the chief execu'

American Rights to be Sustain
ed in Mexican Ports.
Washington, May 1.-The Mexi,
can government has been definitely
Informed that the United States will
sustain American interests who have
business with Mexican ports control
led by the revolutionists.
This announcement at the State de
partment today was the first surface
indication that officials here believe
that the Carranza regime has disap-
peared permanently in territory now
dominated by the rebels.
Furthermore, the notice served on
Mexico concerning the right of trade
is in direct conflict with the recent
Mexican decree in which President
Caranza threatened to re-collect port
dues. Officials here pointed out today
that Carranza cannot make re-col-
lection at any port unless he regains
it and even in that case he would be
in the position of compelling his own
people to reimburse him. The stand
of the United States is that he is not
entitled to these dues also makes it
clear that the Mexican president will
have no case against this country,
either in actual refund of dues or of
indemnity through the State Depart
ment.
Ports Lost to Carranza.,
The ports that have been lost to
Carranza are those in the states of
Sinaloa and Sonora on the West
coast and the business of Vera Cruz.
AS to these, the United States has
practically recognized the authorities
there as de facto. This process of
recognition it was stated, will con-
tinue until there is no question that
Carranza has lost the game.
Officials said today that the secret
of Carranza's losses in the west and
northwest, is that he has been oblig-
ed to hold on to the last moment to
the oil fields and the port of Vera
Cruz. The taxes and customs dues
for the oil and the business of
Vera Cruz are the mainstay at the
moment for the Carranza regime.
Rumblings of Discomfort.
There are rumblings already of Sc
rious discomfort in Vera Cruz and it
is believed that such a military man
as General Obregon, rebel leader,
will concentrate his troops sooner or
later for the attack on the Carranza
forces guarding the oil district. The
reports today are that Carranza has
actually an unusually large force
there and is waiting the certain COM
ing of large body of revolutionary
troops.
Officials here say. that there is
nothing yet to warrant the belief
that Carranza will be obliged to va
cate the capital. That however, they
think seems certainty if the revolu-
+ion increases in volume and there
will be no splitting into factions.
George T. summerlin, American
charge d'affaires at Mexico City who
left here for his post after the revo
luton had become matter of grave
moment to the administration, is re-
ported today as having arrived at
Mexico City. Mr.. Summerlin has for
long time been persona grata to
the Carranza government. He was,
therefore, the best equipped envoy
this government could send to Mexi-
co to ascertain and report on the &C
tual status of Carranza's chances. 1t
was Mr.. Summerlin who was in
charge at Mexico City when the
acrimonious negotiations took place
between Secretary Lansing and Am
bassador Fletcher.
