Continued From race One. of thlc stream by the sewage all the sewage would have to be conducted to one point, and then, without eeptlc treatment, raised by pumps so as to flow Into the Pine street sewer, and hence through the Mill Creek sewer into the Mississippi River. l'HOHLKM OF nitAINAfJK VET TO UK SOLVED. "This work would not be expensive. For seven years, before the Wntcrworks in take was moved from Uissell's Point to the Ch.iln of Rocks, the Waterworks main tained a pumping station at Harlem Creek to prevent th.it s-troam from emptying lntu the Mississippi Itlier above the city intake. The pumping plant taw cost between ?H CO0 and J15.W0. and Its operation was very Inexpensive. "I should say that for 11W.O00 the bite which U worst equipped with regard to sewage disposal could be made equal to the site best equlppfd with sev.-ers. Uy a reeort to septic tanks und pumps sewage disposal Is not a hard problem." With regard to water supply the Caron delt Park and the southwestern sites arc the most poorly equipped. According to city officials considerable work would bu re quired to make the supply adequate for ex tensive water effects, such as fountains and rnscfldes. nt either of these site. The entire water supply of the city comes from the Baden and the Blssell's Point pumping stations. Carondelet Park is more than ten miles from Blseell"s Point. Two 20-Inch mains run from the low-servlco station at B!"cll's Point along Broadway and Jeffer son avenue, respectively, to Caiondelet Park site. All along the route of these mains they aie tapped every fe.v yards by service pipes, so that by the time they reach Carondelet Park the frlctional resistance of the pipes and the loss from service taps has reduced the pressure, which Marted at 120 pounds at Blssell's Point, to between fort-Mve and sixty pounds. All the northern site", except the Pros pect Heights site, are well equipped as re gards water supply. Prospect Heights ha no supply except wells, and. as It is located rn the county, could get a water supply only by special arrangement of the Expo sition company with the city. HIFFICIXTIES IN WAY OK WATER SUPPLY. The water supply of the Forest Park und the northwest sites Is the same: A SC-lnch main oier De Ballviere avenue and a 30 lnch main over Union avenue, with an eighty-pound pressure at Forest Park, and an elghty-five-pound pressure at the north west site. Considerable work would be required to equip the southwest site with a water sup ply. The 30-Inch main which runs over Union avenue through Forest Park now turns out Mickllnd avenue to supply the eleemosvnarv Institutions. If the site were located In Southwest St. Louis a branch from this main would have to be run to the site. Advocates of the northwest site lay some stress on the claim that their site contains the highest point In tb city. The plats of the torographlcal survey of the city, made for the use of the Pewer Department, show that the highest point in the city is the pagoda at the Female Hospital 203 feet above the city directrix. The hlshcst point on the northwest site Is shown to be 1SS above the city directrix. Thn highest point on the Forest Park site, is shown to be 1S3 feet. nar the intersection of Clayton ave nue and Sklnker road. From this elevation the ground falls to 39 feet, above the di rectrix in the bed of the River des Peres. The topographical plats show other sudden and erratic variations of elevation In the section of Forest Park the use of which Is tinder conslcctution as a World's Fair site.

Marcus Bernhelmer, for the Meramec Highlands Company, yesterday offered to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com pany the free use of any part of the EDO ncrep owned by the company on Meramec River.

He Assaulted a Florida White Woman, Then Murdered Her. Bartow, Fla.. May 29. Fred Rochellc. a negro, 3.1 years old, who at noon yesterday criminally assaulted and then murdered Mrs. Rena Taggart, a well known and re epectablo white woman of this city, was burned at the stake here early this even ing In the presence of a throng of people. The burning was on the scene of the ne gro's crime, within 100 yards of the prin cipal thoroughfare of this city. In spite of the Sheriff and a strong guard of extra deputies, who made every effort to protect him from mob violence, they se cured the prisoner and took up the march to the scene of the crime. He was half dragged, half carried to the bridge, enveloped by a great throng of peo ple of all ages, who were resolute and de termined, but quiet and orderly. .-Kro Terrified I'ato Death. Scream after scream broke from the wretch's quivering lips, followed by groans and prayers for mercy, as he was carried to the scene of his crime. By common consent, burning was to be the penalty. There were no ropes, no plans for lynching by hanging. The stake was the only suggestion as to the proper cx plaUon of the crime, and, without organized effort, and yet with apparently unanimous understanding, a barrel was In readiness and was placed by the stake on the very spot where Mrs. Taggert was assaulted and murdered. Pleaded In Vain for Mercy. On this the negro was placed and chained to the stake. He pleaded for mercy, but In the great crowd around him silence wa the only response. There were no Jeers, nor swearing, no disorder. Before the chains around his body had been made fast, cans of kerosene oil from many sources were passed to the front and one of the leaders stepped to the negro and slowly but deliberately poured It upon him and his clothes, until the clothing and the barrel were well saturated. It was then 6 o'clock. The crowd was growing and business In the city had prac tically been suspended. When the match was applied, the blase quickly leaped sky ward. The burnlmr bodv ranlit h aAM nnt. as a dark object In the circle of a roaring flame. Body Burned Fifteen Mlnntes. Then the fire slackened, and the writhing body came back In full view, but already tho groans had ceased and the only evi dence of life was in the contortions ot the muscles of the limbs. For fifteen minutes the body burned and in a half hour from the minute of the ap plication of the match only the charred bones were left as a reminder of the negro's crime and his fate. The crowd dispersed as quietly as It had gathered, and at 8:30 to-night the city is quiet. . RIEGER READY F0RPRIS0N. Kansas City Bank Official Will Obey the Court's Finding. REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

Found Dead in His Kooiu With a Hullet in His Head. A young man who had registered as "T. L. Maxey, Chicago." was founi deail In hi-! room In the Llndell Hotel yesterday after roon. with a bullet wound In the side of his head. The nature of the wound, the position of the body, a revolver with one chamber empty, and other circumstances, convinced the police that the man had committed sui cide after deliberate preparations to keep his Identity from becoming known. AH marks had been removed from his clothing and there were no letters. Besides an engraved card bearing the name "Thom as L. Maxey," a small note hook Isiued by the National Btnk of Kansas City and a ramphlet advertising the golf links at Richmond, Va., no clew was left. Thu note book. In which the name "T. L. Masey" appears in the same writing as that on the hotel register, is considered evidence that tills probably was the suicide's right name. Telegrams from Kansa.s City. Chicago und Richmond assert that no one of the name given by the suicide is known in cither city. Late last night no one hud called at the morgue to identify the bodv. .Maxey went to the Llndell Hotel late Tuesday night and registered.

May 29.-The Iron Trade Review- to-morrow will say: It Is not surprising that the machine shop proprietors of the country are ready to turn to some different method ofrdcallug with the machinists' union. While the press dispatches have been carrying across the country dally Installments of strike set tlements. Involving capitulation to the strikers' demands, representatives of the largest metal-working concerns of the coun try have been alive to the situation, and have taken steps accordingly. As thla Is written a meeting of leading manufacturers Is being held In Chicago, from which It Is expected some plan will Issue for properly safe-guarding the vast Interests involved In machinery manufacture In the United States. The well-known opposition of the Interna tional Association of Macltinl3t3 to piece work, coupled with tho double movement for a shorter day and an Increased wage, and the practical refusal of local unions to carry out the "handy man" provisions of the New York agreement, have brought our machinery manufacturers face to face with some of the 'problems Involved In the great struggle in the engineering trades of Eng land. While the Chicago conference of Tuesday of this week wa called to arbitrate tho wage question for the machine shops of that city, the manufacturers' gathering was augmented on Wednesday by representa tive men from different sections ot the country, and the outcome will be of great importarce. Meantime, the situation In Buffalo, Cincinnati Hamilton, Dayton. De troit. Cleveland, MUwaukec.Mlnneapolls and at several New England centers Indicates that the manufacturers, through their local organizations, are standing firmly against the demands of the machinists' union In their present form.
