REPORTS ON WELLS

In view of the rumors that have

and the new water supply is a lailuzc,
the following report from the. superin
tendent of the department to the wa

will Le of interest to every citizen:
"To the Water Works committee.
"Gentle men:
"I beg to make the following report

less since Oct. 1st and started keeping
record.- of hours of operation on Oct.

"On Oct. ."th we pumped six hours
and 1." minutes at the rate of three
million gallons per day.
"On ct. Oth. live hours.
"On Oct. 7th, intermittently.
"On Oct. Sth. the old plant was shut

"On Oct. 11th. ! a. m. till 4::.o p. in.,
with old plant shut down
"On Oct. 1-th, a a. m. till o p. m..
old plant down.
"On Oct. FHh, &::: a. m. till 5 p. m..
old plant down.
"On Oct. llth, 0 a. m. till .. p. m..
with old plant down. On this date
we pumped seven hundred a lid ninety-nine
thousand gallons in eight
hours. This is 1-2 gallons for every
man, woman and child in Mishawaka.
"Oct. 1 .1th. we .started at S:P a. m.
and with the exception of shutting
down for the purpose of allowing tho
engine builders to make adjustments,
the plant has run continuously since.
"From a. m. Oct. llth to J a.
m.. Oct. Pith, there was pumped
1.40.". Jul' gallons.
"Oct. 10th there was pumped 1.77S,
4 80 gallons.
"Oct. 17th there was pumped 1.0 ;!.
000 gallons.
"Oct. ISth there was pumped 1.732,
521 gallons.
"Oct. l'.'th there was pumped 1,117,

"Oct. l!'Uh there was pumped 1.03 0.-
3 2S gallons.

396 gallons.
"Oct. 23th there was pumped 1,7-0,-L'SS
gallons.
"Oct. 20th there was pumped 1,434,
IMS gallons.
"On Oct. ISth we took the cap off
No. 3 well and measured the height
of the ground water, or. in other
words, this -well not being pumped, its
level would indicate the height of the
water in the surrounding territory
from which oru supply was being
drawn. On Ort. 2 3th we again exam
ined this well and found that the
ground water hail risen three feet.
This rise, you will note, occurred
while Ave were pumping at the rate of
more than one million six hundred
thousand gallons per day. Allowing
SO gallons per capita this is seven
hundred thousand gallons more than
should be pumped at this time of the
year.
"A week ago we noticed that the
. -teens were clogging, and upon ex
amining No. 3 well we found the
,-creen tilled with stones and sticks
of wood. Some of the liner gravel
had ben pulled through the screen,
but the larger stones and sticks had
been thrown in irom the top.
"The indications are that four more
of tho wells are badly i louued and will
have to be eleaned out. We antici
pated this and provided for it by cap
ping" the wells in such a way that the
caps could be taken off and the
screens pulled out and cleaned or
longer ones of a different type put in
it it was found necessary.
"There was always some doubt
about this particular type of screen
being just the right thing, but as the
ost was only J 3 each it was worth a
trial. It is my opinion that they have

Two Enthusiastic Meetings
Held by Democrats in First
and Third Wards All Lead
ing Candidates Present.
Despite the inclement weather that
prevailed throughout the city Wed
nesday evening, local democrats re-sponde-d
ery nobly to the two meet
ings in the first and third wards, when
Hon. M. W. Mix and the various other
candidates on the democratic ticket
addressed the voters of these wards,
fully bOU voters attended both meet
ings, which will set a pace for tho
"stem winder" that the independents
predict for Saturday night's big rally.
At both meetings Mr. Mix informed
the voters that the, watchword of his
campaign has been to secure the
greatest amount of service for the
smallest possible cost, and he stood
ready to devote the necessary time to
the duties of the office if elected, but
did not deem it necessary to move the
office of the. Dodge Mfg. Co. down to
the city hall. He asked the support
of the people on his previous record
as mayor, and stated that he was at
all times ready to promote the wel
fare of the city and also its citizens.
The first ward meeting was called
to order by Pancranz Vogler, while
George M. Raab introduced the candi

OUR FELLER CITIZEN
By HI SIBLEY
CNmiATKS DAY.
We take this opportunity to an
i nounce that we do not believe in
politics. Politics is and are a bally
' nuisance and should be abolished. We
do not expect to see the millenium
if any one candidate is elected, nor
do we expect the city to go to the
dogs if certain ones are not elected,
as per advertisement.
However, admittedly not pred
judiced for or against any one can
didate or any one party, it does not
follow that we cannot mention tne
several candidates as plain teller
citizens.
Fred Keller, citizens' candidate for
mayor, drives a smooth-running,
high-powered South Bend Six. In
i?pite of the speed possibilities of his
car. however, Fred drives at a con
servative pace and has not yet run
over any pet dogg, chickens, shoats,
calves, babies, or other domestic
animals down In our neighborhood
where he resides.
Pat Joyce, democratic candidate for
mayor, is as broad-minded as he Is
big. We have seen him greet those
who have proclaimed themselves as
Ids enemies as cordially as he does
his best friends.
James Loughman, republican can
didate' for mayor, lives on South
Michigan st., the most direct and best
automobile road lrom Michigan to
Kentucky, but Jim knows a horse
from bowsprit to spinnaker boom,
and would rather ride behind one
than in a six-cylinder, self-startlnPT.
four speed car with electric lights,
running water and collapsible seats.
Lewis C. Landon, progressive can
didate for mayor, conducts one of the
most sanitary and therefore popular
soda fountains in the city. During the
Billy Sunday campaign, when ice
cream sodas took precedence over
fog-horns and gin-rickeys among our
best people. Lew's drug store was a
very convenient place to drop In for
refreshments after one of the evan
gelist's meetings.
Herbert Warner, citizens' candidate
for city judge, was a game young
Two Arson Cases and Many
Minor Ones Wiped Off by
Montgomery Ready For
Next Term.
To clear up the criminal docket in
the circuit court in preparation for
the November term, Prosecutor Mont
gomery Wednesday filed dismissals of
16 cases. Most of the cases are old
and evidence on which the indictments
were returned is not available now.
Others were actions brought against
defendants who were sentenced on
other charges filed at the same time.
Among the cases dismissed was the
action against Ben Fink, the confessed
"torch" of the arson trust of the mid
dle west, for arson, and a joint action
against Fink and Ben Kahn for lar
ceny. Fink's confession was obtained
in the county .jail here and Prosecu
tor Montgomery consented to his re
moval to Chicago where he is testify
ing against the men "higher up."
Kahn, it will he remembered, was
convicted of arson, although now at
liberty on bond pending his appeal,
and consequently the larceny case was
dismissed.
The case of Harry Brown, junior
member of the adjusting firm of Spira
Zar and Brown. Chicago, charged with
arson in connection with the Kahn
fire, was also dismissed as Brown is
under indictment for the same crime
in Chicago and the evidence against
him in the local case was not sufficient
to obtain a conviction.
The other cases which were stricken
from the docket follow: Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Covley. Ezra Rhodes and
Florence Rhodes, obstructing a public
highway; Ollls H. Lee, failure to sup
port: Roy Halton, larceny; Leroy
Schoff, wife desertion; Andrew ; Cha
poris, permitting music in saloon:
William Brown, petit larceny: Harry
Black, larceny; Louis Hojnecki, petit
larceny; Roy Winchester, forgery;
Walter Hayes, assault and battery
with intent, and three cases against
John King, charging intoxication, in
terfering with an officer and assault
and battery.

his accounts he had a very strenuous

to us from other sources, and we are
of the opinion that this form of

grit to get through with than most
young fellers possess.
Pat Houlihan, democratic candidate
for city Judge, wears gold rimmed

He is quiet and dignified.
C. P. Fergus, renublican candidate
for city judge, used to wait for the

Budapesth, the capital, is famous for

However, that has no bearing on the
matter in hand.

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 30. Over
3,000 delegates representing M. E.
churches from all over the United
States, assembled at Tomlinson hall,
Wednesday morning to begin the sec
ond day of the big National Conven
tion of Methodist Men which holds
sessions here the rest of the week.
Bishop C. B. Smith, of St. Louis,
presided at the Monday session.
Bishop William F. Anderson, of
Cleveland, who talked at the St.
Paul's M. E. church of South Bend
last Bpring, was the principal speaker
at the session Tuesday night. He
talked on the subject, "Our American
Cities", and said that when the busi

than her moral life, the church will
degenerate.
Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice
president, was to have opened the
session Tuesday, but was prevented on
account of the death of his wife. Rev.
Joshua Stansheld, father-in-law of
Rev. J. L. Gardiner, pastor of St.
Paul's M. E. church of South Bend,
had the honor in his absence. Rev.
Mr. Stanslield pleaded for a spirit of
conservation to high ideas in his
opening remarks.
Bishop McDowel Speaks.
Bishop W. P. McDowell of the
Northwestern district, in which South
Bend is located, was one of the prom
inent speakers this morning. He
dwelt on the differing conditions in a
new and changing.world and said that
the mission of the Methodist, church
is determined by the Christian mes
sage. A most stirring scene was the cheer
ing, prolonged and animated, which
came when Dr. Clarence T. Wilson, of
Topeka, Kansas, reported Wednesday
for the committee on temperance.
"Thank God we now have a Chris
tian in the White House, a Christian
secretary of state and American con
sulates are no longer agencies for
breweries." said Dr. Wilson. He re
ferred to the action of Pres. Taft in
vetoing the Webb-Kenyon bill, and
said that this action did more to send
Taft to unprecedented defeat than any
other cause.

movement, precipitated what may be
a lively little political war.
Miller filed his list with the various
inspectors, and is ready to brinq; legal
action if anv of the inspectors throw
out his list.
Chairman Locke, who was named
by the real progressive committeemen
tb succeed Miller, appointed his list
Tuesday afternoon, tiling it with City
Clerk Bilinski. ,
"I am the duly elected chairman."
Miller insists. "I was elected by the
committeemen who were elected at
the primaries. This other list of pro
gressive otticials was filed simply by a
disgruntled lot of progressive citi
zens." "Miller can't be a progressive and
a citizen, too," says Locke. "The law
gives the progressives the right to be
represented on the election board.
The citizens have no rights there."
So there you are.

Sensational Rumors Afloat in
New York Famous Detect
ive Who Seeks "Higher Ups"
is Closely Guarded.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30. The hyster
ia pervading political circles since
Ex-Gov. Sulzer and his chief investi
gator John A. Hennessy began their
attack on Tammany and Chas. F.
Murphy, was increased Wednesday by
rumors that a plot had been discov
ered to assassinate Detective WTm. J.
Rurns to prevent his revealing evi
dence that he has secured against a
prominent politician.
When Burns landed at Hoboken
from the liner Imperator on his arriv
al from Europe he was immediately
surrounded by a bodyguard of 18 de
detectives. "The chief has received word that
he is to be done away with." said one
of the detectives. "The tip came from
a reliable source. That's why we met
him today."
Burns refused to discuss the warn
ing, but made this sigmncant remark:
"I do not fear assassination at th
hands of the dynamiters whom I have
prosecuted. I am after the grafters.
I am after the big fellows. They are
the men who ar making trouble and
they are my enemies."
He refused to comment on reports
that he had been abroad to get evi
dence there relating to grafting in
this city.
Burns began investigating New
York graft immediately after the mur
der of Herman Rosenthal. He was
retained jointly by John D. Rockefel
ler, jr. and Dist. Atty. Whitman to
trail vice and its relationship to
graft. From this beginning the
search spread until the trail bd to
the "big fellows". Burns is said to
have in his possession confessions
which would create a big a sensa
tion as the Sulzer impeachment and
it? sequel?.

HIGR TRIBUTE TO

ATRIGK JOYCE
Is Gentle and Bashful But Man
j of Ideas and Character, De-
dares Senator in intnrvipw.
Talks of Wilson and Billv
BY MARCiARI TV TOUIX.
Senator Shively put his bod d wr
on the window sill and leam-d back ;r
his rocking chair to chat awhile .abv:?
affairs in Washington and affairs that
are even more interesting to him. tb
happenings of his own bom" town.
He talked about Pres. Wilson, 1 i 1 1
Sunday and Pat Joyce. He paid tfib.
utes to all three.
"I know Pat J' .vce," said tin ?
tor, "have known him all my life and
he is a tine, manly fellow."
lie went on to analyze his eba rac
ier as he had observed him in the
ears he had known him.
"He is quiet." said the orator, "gen
tie and unassuming. And shy- why.
it is the hardest thing in the world f"r
him to put himself forward as a mai;
must do in a campaign.
"He doesn't want to claim credit
for what he did as councilman or f r
what he has done in the present ad
ministration. It isn't his way t boast
of himself. He would do it for the
other fellow, be glad to do it. But
he would always do for the other fel
low what he wouldn't do for hims If."
Is Man of Idea..
Pat Joyce is a man of ideas. Sena
tor Shively says, a man of vision, ard
a man unfalteringly faithful to a
trust. Ami he has proven himself.
"He'll make the city a good mayor."
is the way the senator summed his
analysis up, "one it can be proud of."
The senator is t nj.ing a vacation
at home. It is the first one he has
had for a long time. Three extra ses
sions of congress have kept him pret
ty busy. But now with the tariff bill
out of the way there is nothing to do
until the currency bill is reported out
of committee.
In the meantime he is resting and
enjoying a rocking chair and book.
He is als picking up the threads of
life in his home town. He inquired
into the good results accomplished by
Billy Sunday, and took lime for .t
word of praise for an old friend.
Being a legislator is hard work but
necessarily gloomy work, the senator
told me. There is a g od deal of in
terest about life in Washington. Be
ing a legislator was especially agree
able this summer, he said, because tne
democrats got on so amiably together.
And now they have tb conscious
ness of work well done. The senator
explained the tariff to me and all tho
hard work and difficulties attendant
upon a revision cf it while selfish in
terests clamored l,ir consideration. H
explained some of the changes that
were made and the good jje hoped
they would do.
And the greatest good of all is to bo
its psychological effect, he thinks.
Protectionists have preached the doc
trine of feebleness and helplessness f,,r
half a century. The new tariff law
is founded on the gospel of self n -liance.
Americans will begin to think
in the sturdy, independent American
way.
Praises, Woodrow WiUon.
Senator Shively told me ( tho
change that lias taken place in the life
at Washington with the inauguration
of Pres. Wilson. It is as democratic
as it is reported to be. All the frills
and non-essentials have been .shorn
away. Things are done now simply
and directly. No crndeness about it.
he says, just a lack of ostentation and
vnobbery. And the whole thing came
about easily and naturally with no
effort to exploit the new regime.
Tor the president he can't lind ex
pressions that convey all his admira
tion. He praised him l"r his sim
plicity, for his high courage, for his
frankness and openness, and most of
all for his wisdom and honesty.
Mr. Bryan is making a mark for
himself as a diplomat, he says. Be
ing secretary oi state jasi n'w is no
snap. But ilrkvan, Mr. Shively thinks,
in spite of his serious responsibilities,
is enjoying h'mself.
Then we spoke of the vice presi
dent. "I imagine." said I. "that Tom
Marshall is having a real good time."
"Oh, he is." said the senator with
an inward chuckle, "by George, hr' is."
