Cite. Work Not Completed.
Mr.. Phillips told the Commissioners in
his letter Of resignation that much OF
the drainage system Of the District, as
it now exists. is fragmentary ana incom- :
plete, because of growing inadequacy
in the allotment Of funds. The work
done he said, has been carried on under
increasing difficulties. due to the I'M
possibility of maintaining the proper
personnel on the rates of pay allowed.
In 1908 Mr. Philips inaugurated an an
nual inspection of all trunk sewers In
order to watch for defects. One Of the
first fruits of that plan was the detec-
tion of an impending failure of the thirty
foot -span Tiber sewer under the Union
station plaza fill. This storm sewer
vas promptly reconstructed by day labor
forces, working from the interior with.
ont surface excavation. and what might
have been disaster was averted.
Mr phillips is a native Washing
+oni.n and a graduate of Central High
school. From that school he went
to Lehigh University, where he grad
uated in engineering. Before coming
hack to washington he studied sani-
tary engineering abroad. He also has
been consulting engineer for number
Of cities, including New York, Phfla-
delphia and Chicago.
At the outbreak of the war he was
called by the Council Of National De-
tense into the committee on en-
ergency war construction of camps
and cantonments.
He was consulting engineer for the
port of embarkation at Newport News,

member of the American Society of
Civil Engineers and several similar
organizations; Of the Washington
Country Club, and is chairman of the

yesterday morning. and the state then
battered away for five hours attempt
ing to tear down the network woven
by defense testimony. Architects en-
gineers, workmen and neighbors took
the stand. and in turn testified that
from their observation and association
with the defendant they thought him
to be of sound mind.
When former Chief of Police Lee Huff
was on the stand testifying to the fact
that Toussaint remarked at the time
he made his confession that he was
proud OF the fact that his father had not
recognized him before he killed him the
defendant aroused himself from his
lethargic indifference manifested
throughout the trial and made an ap-

ANTI-TAMMANY FORCES
NAME TWO CANDIDATES

NEW YORK. August 3.-The Times
says: BY unanimous vote the anti
Tammany conference committee yes-
terday indorsed the tion
OF republican and coalition committee
leaders for the designation of Henry
II. Curran. borough president of Man
haitian. for the nomination for mayor
and Of Senator Charles c. Lockwood
OF Brooklyn for controller. The Sc
lection, before becoming valid, must
be ratified by the enrolled republican
voters in the primaries on September
13. Circulation of petitions for the
1.500 signatures required to give the
ballot will be begun at once.
When the conference committee ad-
journed. to meet again at pm. to-
day. the third place on the city slate
remained vacant. although several
candidates for the nomination for
president of the aldermanic board
had been discussed and dropped.
Republican and coalition committee
leaders were trying last night to get
into communication with Cyrus C
Miller. former borough president OF
the Bronx and an independent demo-
crat. Mr.. Miller is spending the sum
mer at Greensboro. VT. Should he
didate-of which there appears to be
doubt-he is practically certain to be
named when the committee resumes
deliberations.

WAY NOW CLEARED
TO TALK D|SARM|NG
Britain's Acquiescence to
November Date Overcomes
Last Obstacle.

Great Britain's acquiesence in the
suggestion that the conference on linn
itation Of ornaments be held in No
vember and the cessation of her eff
forts to have preliminary conference
are regarded by American officials as
the removal of almost the last obsta-
Gle in the way to an agreement on the
general plan.
For more than a week there has
been In progress an interchange OF
ideas both on the question of time
and the sgenda, carried on by the rep
resentatives here of the foreign gov
ernments by discussing the questions
among themselves and with the Sec
retary Of State. and by the diplomatic
representatives of the United States
and other powers in the respective
capitals. The official information con-
corning the British decision is under
stood to have reached the State De-
partment through its own diplomatic
channels and to have been a result OF
the conversations between the Brit
iSh foreign office and foreign diplo-
mats accredited to the British govern
ment.
Exchanges to Continue.
The somewhat complex means Of ex-
changing opinions and suggestions
probably will continue to be used, it
was indicated, in defining so far as
possible the scope of the conference
and the nature of the agenda. 1t is
not believed likely that Japan will in
sist upon any preliminary conference
and it had been made clear that the
American government will interpose
no objection to preliminary discus
sions of the agenda so long as those
discussions are confined to what has
been described as an interchange of
opinions and ideas
Unless in such preliminary inter
changes unexpected barriers are en-
countered. it is believed the confer
ence will be held in November.
France. Japan and Italy are reported
as willing to have the discussions be-
gin at that time. and, since none of
those powers has insisted so strongly
as Great Britain upon a preliminary
conference, it is believed that progress
in arranging for the conference Will
not be delayed further.

TAX REVISION WORK
RESUMED IN HOUSE

republicans resumed work today on
tax revision faced with the double
task of cutting the nations tax bill
and composing the divergent views
as to the means of its accomplish
ment.
A fight in the committee against
elimination Of the higher income sur
tax brackets and repeal of the excess
profits tax is forecast, but leaders ex-
pressed confidence that the Oh. &C.
ported to the House will contain these
changes.
The proposal to eliminate the $4,000
exemption allowed corporations and
to increase the tax on their net in
come to Is per cent also Is meeting
with opposition.
Repeal Of the transportation taxes
is another subject about which there
appears to be a wide difference of
opinion.
Representative Lonr"'"-'"
can.. Ohio. and some others favor this
action, but other comm..-.-
are not convinced that it can be uJIe
without levying taxes on new sou-""s.

tions have not yet been taken up toliaaI-
ly by the committee. as the work of
drafting the bill still is In the pre-
liminary stages with most attention
centered at present on selecting ave-
nues for reductions of expenditures.
