Republican groups have op- posed the bill and attempted to have an amendment attached to it at the Legislative session demanding its acceptance be approved by pop ular referendum vote this fall. The amendment was defeated. Undoubt- edly the measure will be made into political issue in this falls city election.

 The charter bill also provides that candidates for the police force hence forth must not be over the age of 30 years instead of the current 4O- year age limit. This does not apply however to men lii the service who have pasesd the limit while serv- ing with the armed forces, a mea- sure prompted in part by The Wa terbury Democrat.

Recalling the Mystery
Of John Wilkes Booth

of the corner of the barn The only
thing I noticed he had in his hand was
a carhine: he raised the carbine to his
breast and looked along the cracks
rapidly; he then looked at the fire, and
from the expression on his face I am
satisfied he looked to see if he could
put it out; but he could not, it was
burning too rapidly.
II started to go around to the front
OF the barn again, and when I was
about half around I heard the report sof
pistol. I went on around to the door,
went in, and found 1t. Baker look
ing at him, and rather holding or rails
ing him up. I said he had shot himself;
Baker said he had not. I asked where
he was shot We raised him up and
the blood ran out of his wound. l
then said, Yes. he has shot himself.
1t. Baker replied very earnestly he had
not. I said that we must carry him
out or this will soon be burning u.s.
I'VE took him up and carried him out
on. the grass, a little way from the
door, beneath locust tree. I went back
into the barn to see if the fire could
be put out, and returned to where he
was lying; before this I supposed him
to be dead; he had all the appearances
of dead man; but when I came back
his eyes and mouth were moving; !
called Immediately for water and put
some on his face; he seemed to revive,
and attempted to speak; I put my ear
down to his mouth and heard him say,
Tell my mother I died for my country.

a lot better. 1t has been scrubbed be-
hind the ears and 80 per cent of the
mud removed. No alum or carbon re-
main, as they, too. fall to the bottom.
But the water still isn't fit to drink.
Now as it heads toward one of the
20 rapid-sand filters, shots of ammonia
and chlorine are mixed in. The chlor-
inc kills bacteria. The ammonia does
two things It helps cut down on tastes
and it allows lower chlorine dose by
extending the life of the chlorine.
Meanwhile, the water is percolating
rapidly through the sand filters. This
is the beauty parlor' of the system,
where the final 10 per cent Of mud is
filtered out AS it leaves the filters it
gets another small shot of chlorine and
a dose of lime to correct the PHI, and
then flows to an underground clear-well
reservoir. This is necessary so that at a
distant city point the chlorine will con-
tinue to keep the water sterilized. It
is still Potomac River water-not water
from limptd mountain stream. But it
is now cleaned up, and with infinite
patience made fit to drink. From the
clear-well reservoir the pumps send it to
your home. The job has been completed.
Water treatment is an art as well
as science. It takes plenty of expert
ence and good judgment. How much
alum shall be added as coagulant,
for instance? That depends on the
turbidity You measure that. Then
you throw the hocculator into action to
test the coagulative effect of various
amounts of alum. A mistake here, or
an error In judgment, might cover your
filters with q gelatinous mass that
would seal them up tight as q drum.
When you dose the water with alum
you change It's PHI value. or the de-
gree Of alkilinity-acidity. To even
things up you add lime-just enough
