MR. KELLAM AFTER
REV.W.A.CHRIST.AN
Complains of the Conduct of
the Minister and May Bring
Matter Up In Conference.
Considerable Interest has been aroused
throughout, the bounds of the Virginia
Conference by a. printed circular Just
Issued in connection with the Christ.an-.
Kellam case that created a sensation at j
tho last meeting of the conference held in
this city.
Mr. Kellam comes forth in tho paper
and makes certain charges against the
Rev. W. A. Christian, that will probably
be aired at the meeting of tho confereuco
this month. It will be recalled that Mr.
Christian last year led a successful fight
against Mr. Kellam. for membership' on
the Education Board. He hinted at cer?
tain . things, ? but made no open charges.
Mr. Kellam now makes a oounter move
which suggests that the whole mailer
may be reopened when conference Meets.
The circular alleges:. >
"First?That the Rev. XV. A. Christian
'has'made charges against mo wh.ch he
refuses to put In writing.
Second?That he asserted his readiness
to prove these oharges, and then when
urged to do so belore an Investigating
committee, If he could, refused to ap?
pear, saying he made no charges.
' Third?That I have exhausted every
proper effort to get him before a dls
clpl.nary tribunal, where he would have
to suffer the consequence of his failure
to establish his charge. I leavo the
public to Judge the right and wrong in Hie
matter.

GIVJ3N REPRESENTATION.
The probability of trouble at the polls
in Norfolk county at the election Tues?
day lias been lessened by the- fact that
the Fusion Electoral Board has decided
to give the Stralghtouts representation.
The opponents of the eomlnant faction
had made open threats of what they
would do if they were refused represen?
tation at tho polls.
The board to-day rerused to make pub?
lic the list of Judges.
One reason assigned by the board this
afternoon Is that the list us made up was
not entirely legal under the ruling of
Attorney-General Anderson, ' as an?
nounced in the dispatches from- Rlohmond.
The Attorney-General held that persons
who served as registrars were disqualified
from serving as judges of election. This
necessitated the revision of the list as at
first,prepared,, ths hoard, desiring there-to.
be no question about the legality of the
election In any precinct, where gentlemen
who had been registrars had be^n" listed
to serve as Judges.
They took this position, although they
had no official advices from General An?
derson, but wanted to be on the right
side, they say.
The Stralghtouts criticise the holding
back of the names of the Judges as a
pulttlcal dodge on the part of the board.
The last shot in the present heated cam?
paign In the county will be tired from
the side of the Stralghtouts on Monday
evening, when the Hon. Carter Glass, of
Lynchburg, will address the voters at the
Lyceum Theatre, this city.

TYPHOID IN LEXINGTON
An Official Statement oy the Mayor of
tha Town,
Editor of The Tlmes-Dlspatch:
Sir,?Following my telegram to you af?
ter the publication of the article In your
paper of the 23d instant, I beg leave to
submit the following concerning the fever
situation and the sanitary conditions of
Lexington:
"Over sixty cases in town and insti?
tute," is set out in bold type at the
head of this article. Now the fact is
le*s than half this number of cases of
typhoid fever were In evidence at the
time of the publication ot this article. Of
this number less than twenty cases aie
now in -existence, the remainder being
convalescent.
Dr. A. D. Estell, health officer, r^gorts
from 1st-of June to 1st of September,
twenty-four caBes of typhoid t*Wer; dur?
ing September, four-cases; October, in?
cluding' Virginia Military Institute, and
Washington and Lee University," thirty
seven cases.
During July, three deaths reported by
the chairman of the Board ot Health from
typhoid fever with complications and all
of these among the colored people. Lp
to and Including the day of your report,
no other deaths had resulted. Since that
time two deaths had occurred?one wh.te,
the other colored; in the latter case, ac?
companied by complications.
That these cases have been mild, with
four or five exceptions, Is shown by the
number of convalescents, less than twen?
ty cases being, now visited by the physi?
cians out of thirty-seven cases reported
in October. These facts I get from the
health officer.
I have delayed this report tn order to
obtain Information concerning typhoid
fever conditions outside of our immedi?
ate vicinity, and 1 find It by no means
confined to Lexington, though 1 do not
wish to burden you with a publication Mf
all the facts obtained as to other locali?
ties. That a great Injustice has been
done Lexington, Is the claim I am mak?
ing and a full knowledge of the facts
will convince any one.
THE SPRING IN, QUESTION.
We are left to infer that the health
of the community la affected by the
use of water from a certain spring in
town, over which the health board and
tho owner have been at variance. At
one time In the history of the town a
large number ot persons were dependent
upon this spring, but now only a few
families use It, and after a most careful
Investigation by our health board, we
have been unable to trace the origin
of a single cose of fever or any other
sickness to this source.
AS TO SEWERS.
"Lexington has practically no sewerage
system other than above ground
trenches." Can any more unjust orltlclsm
be made of our town?
We have about one squaro mile of town
and streets, with a fairly good sewer
system, embracing between seven and
eight miles of underground sewers. In
addition to this, Lexington has an un?
usually good surface drainage.
"It would be Impossible to confine the
cadets to the grounds of the Institute.
Thoy 'would go down town and eat at
the hotels and restaurants," eta This
statement Is so absurd that It needs no
comment. Lexington hotels und restau?
rants are not up to Delmonlco's, but they
are not deserving of much comment.
Washington and Lee students num?
bering, three hundred feed at these
places and at our boarding-houses and
developed soven cases, while at the In?
stitute, with a less number in uttend
anco, we bad ten cases.
The'samo sewerage system Is In ope?
ration In town that we have at tha In?
stitute, and If to this can be traced the
cause of our fever, we shall undertake
radical measures ut onoe.
I have never thought, and so express?
ed myself to your reporter here, that Dr.
PauliiM Irving was responsible for tho
injustice done our city, and. consequently,
our Institutions of learning, but some?
body Is, aud I trust you will do us tho
honor to give these facts room In your
columns. _ _

The Oh pman El-ctrclytlo 'roceas,
Editor Of The Tlmes-Dlspatch:
H:r,?In view of tho publlo demonstra?
tion, of the above process In the Acad?
emy of Medicine on Thursday night, ami
tho claims of the Inventor that he ho can
successfu.ly supply clear, pure water to
the city of Richmond by his electrolytlo
?treatment of James River water, at a
traction of the cost of tho proposed sys?
tem of settling basins, it seems pertinent
that the subject should receive some
further attention.
Certain questions naturally suggest
themselvej In connection with a nrouoss
of this kind. First, does It do the work
better than existing and proven methods?
second, does it add to the water any
substance or substances prejudicial to
health? or does it _pw?duc? anv phanaaaa.
Kthn natural constituents of the water
Jch makc.lt less suitable for domestic
e? Third If it does tno work and
noes it without Injuring the quality of
the water, does it do It more economi?
cally tluin other recognized processes?
Those who have had tho opportunity
of witnessing this process In operation
muflt admit that on a small scale it
does produco a cloar water ve.y rapidly,
but. it must be borno in mind that an
equally clear water con be obtained by
several recognized m,clbodB of treatment
which have the advantage of having been
extensively used on a largo scale.
As regards the second point, the effect
of the treatment on the water, It should
bo pointed out that expoilenco with tho
process' ho far has been almost entirely
along the lino of purifying water for
manufacturing and boilor tisos. For this
purpose we believe It has very great
value, and especially In plants where an
electric installation ? Is already part ut
the plant, wtt believe, It cuti bo used to
a great advantage. When, however, it la
proposed to treat the entiro supply oi
the city, a much more Important und
serloUB problem Is involved. In the pro?
cess, plates composed of aluminum,
nickel and tin aro employed as electrodes,
and It Js Impossible to have electrolytic
action taking place without a certain
amount of these motals being dissolved
oft tho plates, and In case of the nickel
and tin, partly at least, remaining In
solution. It was stated by the chemist
associated with tho Jnventor at the de?
monstration that.on examining a quan?
tity of about six and.one-half gallons of
the treated water, tho poisonous motuls,
nickel, arsenlo and tin, were not found
to an appreciable extent, and that James
Klver water or almost any water would
show traces of nickel, tin and arsenic. If
largo quantities were examined; arsenlo
may bo found in ? very minute traces in
many waters, bdt nickel and tin have
not been found In any natural water to
our knowledge, and certainly do not ex?
ist In James River water.
It Is the province of .the doctor rather
than the chemist to say what would bo
the effect on health of even unapprecla
ble traces of these motals constantly oc?
curring In water, but In all articles of
food or drink, which aro part of tne
dally consumption of the people, even
tho faintest trace of any of the poison?
ous metals Is considered highly oblectlon
able, i
As a matter of fact, we do not believe
that the amount of-these metals present
In the treated water Is negligible, as m
rather less thah one: gallon of It exam?
ined by us. we found strong traces of tin.
The third question, of the coat ot work?
ing this process, we Would only touch
or. so far as it Involves the actual cost
of the -coagulating agent employed. It
Is admitted that the .coagulating agent
in this process 1b aluminum dissolved oft
one of the electrodes by the electrolytic
action- and precipitated or thrown down,
as a hydrate of aluminum, which, en?
tangles with it the", finely divided mud
and.other Impurities In the water, carry?
ing them down with It. in the torm of a
light brown precipitate, which settles
rapidly. In other words, we have her?
simply coagulation by the same com?
pound as Is formed when a small amount
of o/dinary alum is added to the water.
The action is the same In both cases;
the alum, which Is essentially aluminum
combined with sulphuric acid, Is decom?
posed, forming the same hydrate of
aluminum as Is produced by the electro?
lytic action, while the sulphuric acid
unites with the lime in the water, formlna
innocuous sulphate of lime.
It would appear, therefore, to be a very
expensive method of-, conducting alum
coagulation, to produce your hydrate of
aluminum from the costly metal alu?
minum Itself by an electric process, which
calls for additional expense, for electric
power, when the same hydrate of alu?
minum, In the same amount, can bo .pro?
duced by the simple addition n rthe nec?
essary amount of alum?one of the cheap?
est salts In the market.
FRODHLING & ROBERTSON.
Richmond, Va^, October 30th.
C-rd From Dr. Williams. .
Editor of The Tlmes-Disjiatch:
Sir,?In your issue of October '27th I
notice Dr. Southall brought my name In
connection with the suicide of Mr. R. E.
Bell, at the Eastern State Hospital, Wil?
liamsburg, Va. The .coroner's verdict was
as follows: tan
"From tho evidence <we find that he had
the freedom of the Tiospltal'grounds since
the first' few weeka/of 'Hs-|cohflnement.'
We find further fr<Jfn''ili's'^ovlclence that
neither the physician In charge, the ward
attendant, nor the night watchman, were
Informed that the said R. E. Boll was a
patient of. suicidal tendency.
"From/these facts it appears to the
Jury that a grave oversight has .been
committed by the authorities of the hos?
pital In not giving such Information and
such instructions as would better pro?
tect a patient c&mmltted. as one of -mark?
ed suicidal tendency." ?? . ,
Now. I wish to state that Mr. Bell was
admitted to the hospital on August 19,
1903. The superintendent. Dr. L. S. roster,
was away on his vacation at the time.
Dr. P. T. Southall was acting superin?
tendent, and the one that admitted Mr.
Bell to the hospital. I saw Mr. Bella
commitment papers, in company with Dr.
Southall. and the case was turned over
to me to be assigned to one of the waids.
The patient, to my own knowledge, had
every neces?jry precaution taken to se?
cure hjs sa.*?ny during the fifteen days
he was under my charge. I resigned from
the hospaal on September 3d, and then
Dr. Southall assumed charge of the male
department. After I left, If Dr. Southall
thought the proper precaution was not
being taken. It was purely neglect of duty
on his part, not to change It. for he had
a thorough knowledge of Mr. Bell's re?
cord. It Isvery strange to me Dr. South
all should have mentioned my name In
connection with this unfortunate affair.
Mr. Bell did not commit suicide until six
weeks after I had resigned from the hos?
pital.

Barksdale. father of pure election laws,
Is upholding Mr. Brauer us candidate for
county treasurer. Personally, I sympa?
