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. 'The Daylight Corner. 1 A long step in the right direction. The cold Spring has made it hot tor us.
