diana, May q, frankly admitting his
connection with the successful effort
10 obtain the release of Charles w.

Daugherty also acknowledged in the
letter that he had received $4,00O
from Thomas B. Fielder for his ex-
penses and services i nconnection
with the Morse case but added that
this did not morethan half repay
him for the money he disbursed out
Of his own pocket

Senator Watson was written as re-
ply to the charges made by Senator
Csraway, Arkansas, democrat. in de-
bate recently. At the time Mr.. Cara
way made the charges Senator Wat

torney general had had any connec-
ton with the Morse case. He stated

day by Senator Lenroot at the re-
Quest OF Senator Watson, who is in

Council Fights
Rate Increase
Plaitsmouth Passes Ordinance
When Company Announces
Plans for Increase.

Plattsmouth. Neb,. May 26.-(Spe.
eial)-The city council in open dc.
iiance OF the announced intention OF
the Pla,tsmouth Water company, an
eastern owned concern. TO advance
its rates on June !. adopted by unau-
imous vote an ordinance establishing
the rates TO be charged by the water
company, both to the city and private
consumers during the second i0-yea-
period OF its franchise, the rates be-
ing very nearly the same as those in
effect now. The company proposed
10 charge consumers OF less than B.
600 cubic feet per month, 40 cents
per 100 feet, and varying on sliding
scale TO as low as 10 cents per 100
cubic feet for all consumed III excess
OF $4,000 feet per month. Flat rates
were advanced from So TO $40 and
fire hydrant rental from $40 to 500
per annum. The rates established by
the council vary from p IL cents
per hundred for the first 400 cubic
feet per month to 10 cents per hun
dred for all in excess OF 1000 cubic
feet per month, and 50 per annum
flat rate Tor residence and $40 for
fire hydrants, OF which the city pays
rental on %.
The ordinance also withholds per-
mission from the company to tear
up paving to repair their mains any
where in the city except on written
authority and provides for the fur
nishing OF an indemnity bond guar
anteeing that where such permission
is given, the pavement will be relaid
i'll as good condition as before and
maintained for a period of five years.
Practically the only increase over
present rates allowed is for INSTALL
alton service. The former charge
was $3.50 while now the company will
be required to install M-inch lead
pipes from its mains to the property
line. complete for SIS. This is in
tended to do away with the frequent
necessity OF tearing up the paved
streets to repair leaks i'll the cheaper
lines, as has been done frequently in
the past. ...
City Attorney Rawls advised the
council that under the charter gov
erning cities OF this class the council
can regulate water rates to private
consumers, although they are denied
that privilege with electric and gas
rates. The lighting and gas COM
pany announced raise in rates on
its own initiative more than year
ago. The water plant has been ap-
praised twice in the past few months,
once by.company engineers and once
by special engineer hired by the
city, the intent being to purchase it
and operate It as a municipa1 nlant.

The locomotives are so large, SAM
uel NJ. Vaucklain, president OF the
Baldwin works said, that it was im-
possible to haul the train through
Philadelphia, Harrisburg or Pitts

engines to haul the train around

Neither will it be possible, he added,
for the great train to cross the Mis-
