DONOVAN ASKS
HIS RELEASE
FROM JAIL

James F. Bugs" Donovan, de-
Scribed as a capable chicken
farmer serving a 10-year sentence
for robbery, made another move
from within the walls of Lorton
Reformatory yesterday in the hope
Of regaining his freedom on
parole.
Although his latest petition for
a writ Of habeaS corpus, which
follows q similar petition rejected
recently by Chief Justice Alfred
A. Wheat, of the United States
Court of Appeals, was filed with
the court without the assistance
Of an attorney, Justice Joseph w.
Cox, to whom it was referred, an
nounced that he will give Donovan
a hearing on it next Tuesday.
Back Of it is the story of a man
who, convicted of robbery and sub
sequently released on parole after
serving several years Of his SEN
tence, went straight" only to find
himself returned to prison through
no fault Of his own. 1t was de-
Veloped at the hearing on his
earlier petition that following his
previous release from Lorton he
went to Flora, Ind, and there OBJ
tained honest and profitable en-
ployment on a farm.
It was his neighbors, who, learn
ing he was an eX-convict, drove
him from the community. The tes'
timony showed that he was called
from church on Christmas Eve a
year ago and informed that if he
did not leave the neighborhood at
once he would be killed. On the
advice Of his parole adviser he fled
first to South Bend, Ind, and then
returned to Washington. Here, he
contends, his parole was revoked,
and he was recommitted to Lor,
ton, although he had done nothing
to violate it.
In his latest petition he declares
the parole board was influenced
in its action by unfair criticism
of the parole board by the various
newspapers" of the District.
He adds that although the pa,
role board has since asked him to
advise it of any prospect of en-
ployment he may have outside of
Lorton, and he has complied, moth
ing has come of it,

Welsh Vet At YARD
LaudS New World

A comparison Of working con.
ditionS and conditions in general
in England and those in America
in the 18a0s was given today by
Thomas Mitchell, retired Navy
Yard machinist, of 4107 Eighth
st. N. w.
Mr.. Mitchell's experience as a
machinist carried him from the
shops of England to those in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania and
finally here.
He learned his trade in DoWlaiS,
South Wales, England, where he
started in 1879. Coming to
America in 1888 because his sister
had sent for him, he obtained EN-.
ployment in a Phillipsburg IN. J0
shop, then one in a nearby town
in Pennsylvania and still later
with the Bethlehem Steel Works,

Curran said that he had written
to President Roosevelt, calling
attention to the kind Of men being
shipped aboard American vessels. "
The strikers were unable to pre-.
vent the sailing of the United
States liner President Roosevelt,
which sailed without passengers,
but planned q demonstration to

by now, with modern transpOrta-

where he did United States Gov
ernment work.
In 1903 he came to Washington
to work at the Navy Yard and
there he remained until he was
retired in 1880.
In retrospect, Mr.. Mitchell ex-
planned today that he was happy
his sister had sent for him, adding:

as 1 arrived here. The weather
was better, liked the American
customs and the way people did
things in this country. The food

fore it enters the huge filter. This
is done to purify the water and
sterilizes the filter SO that no organ
izisms may grow in it, knights sald.
The chlorinization plant is automa-
tically controlled and is housed IN
spic and span shelter at the west Oh
the water plant. The plant uses
chlorine gas compressed to a liquid.
When air touches the chlorine. II
becomes a gas again and enters the
water as such. 1t permeates the
water ana then gradually escapes in
to the air.
An auxiliary pumping unit Is used
to lift the water out OF the ponds
in case it is low. Otherwise graV-
ity controls the flow.
Two concrete filters "a feet by
200 feet have two feet of graded sand
and gravel in the bottom. The wat
er flows through this sand and
gravel and is carried from the bot
tom of the filters to an under
around reservoir of half a million
gallons capacity. The water then
is ready to use as it flows from
the reservoirs directly into the
mains of the city. However, in
the transition from the filters
via the reservoir to the pumps and
thence to the mains, another light
chlorination is given as last
safety measure in the purifica-
ton process. In addition to the
reservoir there are two tanks hold
ing $4,000 gallons TO help hold
up the pressure.
The filter has a washing mach
inc of it's own, an affair as big
as a bungalow which is propelled
back and forth over the filter.
Huge Fingers" drag through the
sand and free it if accumulationS
of mud which eventually gather
in it.
Plant a Marvel
The pumping plant is a marvel
of cleaning brass. The plant it
self and the structure which hous-
eS it, are so immaculate that they
put many a tidy housewives kitch-
en- to shame.
A huge clock-like meter shows
how much water the city uses ev-
cry day. The city uses SO much
water that the present Ventura
meter is outmoded and the city
council recently decided to buy
larger one to make the daily
recordings.
Two pumps handle 100000 gal
Ions a day each and two run 1,500,-
900 gallons a day. Thus the total
capacity of the pumps is 100000
gallons a day.
If the city should begin TO use
more than 100000 gallons a day
for any length of time, it would
be necessary to get more pumps
to use in case of emergency. The
pumps are operated electrically
but in case the current service
is interrupted, a gasoline motor
