The City Water Board will meet
Wednesday afterhoon to consider a
water situation that constantly has
grown more gtave since the break
ing of the 18,000,000-gallon pump at
the river station two weeks ago.
The reserve supply in the reser
voirs at the Hemphill station has
dropped two feet since that date. It
will take at least two weeks to put
the big pump in working order again.
While the reservoirs have over 20
feet of water in them there is only a
6-foot margin from muddy water.
This is due to the fact that the lo
cation of the filtration plant will not
permit water to flow through it lower
than that point.
A conference was held Wednesday
morning between J. O. Cochran,
president of the Park Board; W. Z.
Smith, general manager of water
works, and W E. Dunn, president of
the Water Board, to consider cut
ting off the 500.000-gallon dally flow
into Piedmont Park lake. That would
mean that the bathing would have
to he stopped. It was decided that
no further action would be taken at
present than to shorten the hours for
bathing In the lake.
Although twenty men are working
on the broken pump, as many as can
be effectively used in both day and
night shifts, it is feared that the
water pressure may have to he re
duced so as to make the daily con
sumption of the city equal the amount
pumped from the river each day.

WASHINGTON, July 23.—Mem-
hers of the Overman Ix>bby Inquiry
Committee to-day said an effort
would he made this week to finish
reading into the record several thou

dent Taft had turned over to Secre
tary of the Treasury MacVeagh the
entire question of the tariff hoard
personnel.
Mugwump Peeved Watson.
“If MacVeagh were a Republican
we might reach him,’’ wrote Watson,
“hut he is a mugwump and I swear
that I never know what to do with a
mugwump, inasmuch as I have no
right to kill him.”
On September 28 Mulhall wrote to
John Kirby, Jr., president of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers:
“I wish to do all I possiblv can
to heat in Maryland this fall the
amendment to the Constitution dis
franchising the negroes, which, if car
ried, will make Maryland a one-party
Stat^ and wipe out of Congress three
Republican members, one of whom is
the best friend we ever had in Con
gress, Sydney E. Mudd.”
Tried to Get Watson.
Mulhall called on several manufac
turers interested in the Danbury hat
ters' strike, to have them employ
Watson as counsel in the ensuing liti
gation.
