'Bl UEBEARD' SMILES
 OVER DEATH SENTENCE
"Thank You, Gentlemen" the French Arch-Murderer Says, With
 Flourish of Hat

Versailles.-Henri Desire Landru, the "bluebeard of Cambais," smiled for the first time since his trial opened. A fiickering expression of amusement crossed his face as he listened to the words of Judge Gilbert, sending him to the guillotine for series of the most heinous crimes in the history of French jurisprudence.
 "Thank you, gentlemen" said Lan- dru, flourishing his weather beaten hat in n mocking bow to the jury, and he disappeared through the little door leading to the Versailles jail.
 While the verdict was awaited the convicted slayer of ten women and boy, spoke words of encouragement to his counsel, M Moro-Giafferi, who, tired and worn out after his strenuous efforts to save his client from death. was on the verge of collapse.
 Strange 1t iS that man standing in the shadow of death should console his defender" Landru remarked at one time to those sitting near by.
 He refused to be party to peti- tion asking President Millerand to commute the sentence to life impris- onment which was signed, among oth- CTS, by the jurors.
 'I refuse to ask for mercy" he told the latter. "A man like me wants justice, not mercy. You think I am guilty; then |. me die r

 The new rules became effective on December I and take Jurisdiction over approximately 100000 men immediate ly. although stil larger number will be affected when the normal traffic conditions are restored.
 Far-reaching changes in the rules. which supplant the national agreement made during federal control. were de- signed to afford Il basis for permanent stability in the railroad shops of the country and were declared by members of the Labor Board to be the most im- portant work yet done by the board and of much greater significance than 'any decision in the past, even includ- ing wage scale adjustments
 Large economies are expected to re- suit from revision of the classification rules, which were made more elastic and here after will permit members of certain crafts to do minor jobs pre- viously done by members of other crafts. Statisticians attached to the Labor Board estimated that economies in operation, increased efficiency and larger output would approximate S50.- 100000 a year.

 Herbert began to be mistruStful of the solid earth. Somewhere there was fearful threat to his equipoise. .W hat you talkin' about?" he said, with an effort to speak Scornfully; but hls sensitive voice almost failed him.

 What makes you think I saw her?"
 Did you telephone her?"
 "What makes you think so?"
 Once more Herbert guped. Well, I guess you're ready to believe any g palsied bravado. You don't believe everything Patty Fairchild says. do you?'
 "Why, Herbert Doesn't she always tell the Truthf"
 Her? Why, half the time" poor Herbert babbled, you can't tell whether she just maxim up what she says or not.

NEW SPRING PROVES
MORE VALUABLE THAN
WAS FIRST BELIEVED
Extra Flow of Two Million
Gallons Daily Forecast;
Will Tax Line Capacity.

That the new spring being developed
above Thorn Hollow will provide ap-
proximately two million gallons OF
extra water daily for the water system
Is the belief of Frank Hays, engineer
and superintendent who returned TINS
morning, from the construction camp.
The main spring has not yet been
reached and the new line is already
flowing 100000 gallons daily. Mr.
Hays says The main spring will easily
provide a million gallons more ana
when the new development is complet-
ed there will he sufficient cool spring
water to fill the main pine line to the
city to capacity.
The new spring will provide more
water and better water than is being
secured from the Chaplish spring or
any of the other springs, After the
new line Is completed it Is Mr.. Hays
view that the city will have such a suf-
flcient water supply that no further
extension will be required for four or
five years.
No name has yet been given to the
new spring but 1t may be called the
North Chaplish spring. The new
source of supply was discovered by G.
M. Rice and Frank Hays while on al
inspection trip year or two ago.
The old pumping plant in use before
the gravity system was established
provided but million gallons of water
daily for the city The city now Sc
cures around three million gallons
daily and with the new spring vii
have supply of about five million
gallons daily.
