ing held for use at the proper time. So far the liquor men had been
afraid to use this money, but Cohen said, according to the lawyer, that

“EMPLOYMENT” BUREAU
BLAMED FOR ROBBERIES.
Richmond, Va., July 19—The arrest
and conviction of Alice Scruggs, col
ored, has revealed a school of crime.
According to the testimony, the
Scruggs woman Imported negro girls
from the country whom she would hire
out to housekeepers as servants, the
employees In each Instance staying In
tliclr new positions lust long enough to
Will the Investigating committee,
appointed to make a further Investiga
tion of the waterworks situation, seek
to lay the blame for the muddy water
and the present condition of the wa
terworks on former Mayor James G.
Woodward?
The committee meets at 4 o'clock
Friday afternoon, and It Is stated that
Mr. Woodward's position relative to
the waterworks and Its management
will be gone Into with a view of ascer
taining to what extent, If any, he Is
responsible for the situation.
The two-tlipes mayor Is something
of a live wire .when stirred up, and If
such an effort is made, It may reason
ably be expected that he will answer,
and a lively tilt may be expected. Cot.
onel Park Woodward, the general man
ager of the waterworks, and Colonel
James O. Woodward, the ex-mayor,
have mixed It up on previous occa
sions.
It Is recalled that last fall the water
board voted favorably on laying the
new water main from the river to the
reservoir, but as there was no money
on hand. It was found necessnry to
consult a banker, who said he would
advance the necessary amount at In
terest, If council authorized.
It ivas then. It Is stated, that Mayor
Woodward expressed his opposition
and the matter was dropped.
"I remember this very distinctly,”
says General Manager Woodward, "and
If Mint pipe - had been bought
then there would have been no muddy
water.”
"If my recollection serves me right,”
stated a member of the Investigating
committee, "the waterworks would
have had that extra main last year,
except for the opposition of Mayor
Woodward."
In this connection it was stated, In
effect, on the floor of council that the
reason why council did not call for a
bond election last year or the year be
fore was because of the attitude of the
mayor to the management of the wa
terworks.
Alderman Joseph Hlrsch Is chair
man of the Investigating committee.
Tho probabilities are that the com
mittee, after hearing from the general
manager and the president of the wa
ter board and possibly others, will re.
port that there Is no necessity for a
further Investigation.
ADD—TO PUT BLAME
The water In the reservoir gained
two Inches In depth again Thursday,
making the present depth 28 feet and
3 Inches, or one Inch more than when
the Alters were put back Into use.
The danger of a return of muddy wa
ter, If there ever was any. Is now prac
tically over.
