FEANKL1NPARK WATER USE AT WHITE HOUSE DISCON TINUED TWO YEARS AGO. Depreciation in Quality, According to Chemist, to Extent of Being "Imminently Dangerous." Many years ago the famous spring In Franklin Park was connected with the White House by pipes running down 13th street ajnl then west on New York avetiuo and the water was used by km*"1 sslvr Presidents and their households for several years in conjunction with the usual sup ply from the Potomac river. The pprlng water "became an object of suspi ion as long ago as March, 1 MX!; and the sickiv --s of some of the inmates of the mans-hi was attributed to its use. At the reauet of the officials. Dr. \V. M. Mew, chemist at the Army Modi at Mu seum, made an examination of samples of water from the spring and reported that it showed that "the water was of doubtful purity because of past pollution of or ganic. and. probably, animal matter." <'ol. Smart of the medical department of the army, an authority on water supply, sug gested the necessity for further and more thorough examinations to determine tl>. question as to the unwholesomeness *>f the water, 'hut nothing further was done at that time. Col. Bingham, the engineer officer then in charge of public buildings and ground-*. In March, 1900. again called on the \rmy Medical Department for a bacteriological examination of the water used at the ICx ecutive Mansion and forwarded for that purpose samples of the Potomac supply and the supply from the Franklin P.nk spring. The examination called for was made by Dr. James Carroll of the array medio#! >ie partment In March. 1000. In iiis report I?r. Carroll said that both samples appeared to contain intestinal bacteria. "They both con tain,' he explained, "organisms which in their fermentative reactions, motivity, pro duction of indol and cultural characteris tics, correspond to tlie bacillus coll eomunis. In addition, the spring yielded a bacillus of tlie hog cholera group, presumably from the animal intestine." Chemical Analysis of Samples. Col. Symon?. who succeeded Col. Bing ham in charge of public buildings and grounds in March, 1!*M, asked the medical department of the army to make a chemi cal analysis of samples of water from the Franklin spring, taken from the Executive Mansion. The analysis was made by ltev. Edwin R. Hodge, chemist. "The water." he said, "was clear, colorless, odorless and possessed no sediment. It was amphoteric in its reaction. There was considerable browning of the residue on its incineration, disclosing the presence of organic matter, but this was somewhat obscured by the visible decomposition of part of trie tre mendously excessive amount of the con tained nitrates." Dr. Cat roll shows the resul s of examina tions of water from the same spring Mat Hi 10, MWfl, and December "I. IKS'.i. and says that It seems to him thu there has been startling depreciation in the qua., y of the water since the previous examinations, in conclusion he said that in bis opinion tie water is "Imminently dangerous. Surgeon Gen. O'Reilly in transmitting this report to Col. Pymons'sald: "As on ClM m ical evidence alone the Franklin Square spring may be absolutely coml.mi.f i as a source of water supply, bactorio.og.y. ex amination is considered unnecessary , \s a result of these reports the us. the water from the Franklin spring was discontinued at the White House at that time and has never been resumeo. THE MOROCCAN CONFERENCE. \ French Plan Rejected by Germany? Working for Compromise. The German delegates to the Moro' in conference at Algeeiras. Spain, rrceiv. .1 from Berlin last night Germany's leply to the proposition regarding the policing ? Morocco. The reply Is a rejection of the French position that the offi ers of th" ! proposed police system shall be French and 1 Spanish. Germany dc-clares that the ' French proposal is contrary to the prlni- i pie of internationalization and equality and \ equality of all the powers in Morocco. The effect of the German reply on !ii? ' subject of the policing of Morot > lias i had a bad effect on the neutral delega;? -. j who were disposed to re.sard the Fie proposal as moderate, and who expected some acknowledgment in that ta g ird j from Germany. They do not, arw. vei-, i consider the case as desperate as it ha* j 'been hitherto. Their guarded interference' now will be transformed into a strong pres sure upon Germany, whose unyielding a;- j titude is regarded as possibly threatening j tile world's peace. The Paris foreign office confirms In a j cablegram the Algeeiras report that France ! has offered to concede the control of the | Moroccan police to the sultan if the lat ter will select French . lP.cers. An accord Is considered to hing" upon Germany's ac ceptance of French ? tticers. If this is not accepter, a crisis will still he poss : :e. as the French official view is that France lias reached the limit of her concessions. this 15 fl chicken.
