HEW YORK’S AQUEDUCT
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
BRINGS WATER FROM A DISTANCE
OF ONE HUNDRED MILES—ONE
OF THE GREATEST OF ENGL
NEERING FEATS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—A drinking
fountain which has cost $140,000,00tr
in money and eight yea** or labor
will come into the possession of this
city tomorrow. It extends from the
Catskill Mountains. 120 miles awav,
rand is known as the Catskill Oqueduct.
In celebration of its official acceptance
as a municipal system which wnt sup
ply water to millions of persons, a
three-day festival is planned which
is-expected to rival the Hudson-Fulton
jubilation here in 1909.
Because of the engineering prob
lems which had- to be overcome in
enabling the city to draw water from
the Ashakan Dam, 610 feet above tide
level, the construction of the system
. has been described as a feat sur
passing in accomplishment the build
ing of the Panama Canal. It is one of
the few great undertakings which
- have been completed within contract
, time and without being attended by
any labor disturbances.
- A citizens’ committe appointed by
Mayor John Purroy Mitchell, with
George McAneny as chairman, has
?.rran~ed a program in which national
and state persons of note will par-
■ ticipate. George B. McClellan, former
mayor and now Professor of Economic
History at Princeton University, will
be the guest of honor. It was during
his administration that the project
was begun.
The labor organizations which sup
plied the workers and the board of
water upply which undertook the
- task, together -wi’h leading civic
, bodies, will be represented. Charles
Strauss, president of the board of
water supply, will notify Mayor
Mitchel of the completion of the Aqu?- .
duct. Each night the city will be
illuminated.
More than 25,000 public school child- '
rtn will take tart in a pageant called <
“The Good Gift of Water.’’ This will
!be held tomorrow afternoon in Cen- 1
t~al Park.
' 'The city has conducted an extensive ’
campaign to acquaint children with 1
the importance of the aqueduct. A «
'million pamphlets have been distribut- 1
1 ed, and pictures connected with the *

construction of the system are on ex
hibit at the schools. Meals will be
awarded to the children in each school
who submit the ablest composition
dealing with the importance of water
and method of obtaining it for the
city.
The Catskill Aqpeduct creates four
lakes in its course from the moun
tains to the city. It burrows under
valleys, tunnels throuygh high land,
dives under rivers until it reached a
depth of 1,114 feet below sea level,
and bores through the solid rock of
Manhattan Island. It is twice as Ion?
as the most famous water system of
the days of Rime and three times the
length of the Panama Canal. The
aqueduct will be capable of deliver
ing five billion gallons of water per
day.
LEAKING TRUNK DISCOVERED
BY CITY MARSHAL AT M*RAF
M'RAE, Ga., Oct. 13—McRae’s city
marshal discovered a leadink trunk at
the station yseterday and in a few
minutes had a dozen quarts of whisky
as well as the trunk, in the council
chamber for safe keeping. He was un
able to locate the owner of the trunk,
which was shipped here on one of the
trains from a “wet'' point.
All was well until this morning, or
that is what the marshal thought. He
was still keeping on the lookout think
ing, perhaps the owner of the missing
trunk would make some inquiries. He
happened to go to the council chamber
and found that the trunk of whisky
had ben opened during the night and
every bottle of the liquor stolen. The
trunk is all the officer has and so far
the owner has failed to call for it,

MAKING STATEMENT
WRITES LETTER TO THE COM
-1 MITTEE DECLARING THAT HE
DID NOT SAY THE U. S. HAD NO
CAUSE FOR WAR.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 13—Lines
Os the inquiry into Senator LaFollette’s
alleged disloyal speech before the
-Non-Partisan League at St. Paul be
came more definitely defined with the
senate investigating committee’s re
ceipt of a letter from the senator out
lining his position and transmitting
an approved transcript of his address,
i In substance, Senator LaFollette de
nied saying the United States had no
cause for war, denounced some press
reports of his speech as “grossly false”
and certified to the accuracy of the
record regarding his statement that
former Secretary Bryan knew of am
munition being in the Lusitania’s car
go. He asked to examine any wit
nesses called by the committee and to
submit his own testimony, and ex
pressed a desire to be heard, should
statements of fact in his speech or his
right to make it be questioned.
I The commitee also received other
stenographic versions of the address
from the Minnesota Public Safety com
mission, varying in no important par
ticular from the one submitted by Sen
ator LaFollette, and documents from
he state department and congressional
library regarding the Lusitania ques
tion.
| The committee will meet today to de
termine future action and probably
will temporarily halt the inquiry I. >
await a statement from Mr. Bryan,
who already has denied publicly that
he knew the Lusitania carried mun’-
tions.
| Public hearings probably will not b’ |
held.
