Ben Rtesland. president of the beventh Ward league and chairman of the water committee from the South East Side, said yesterday afternoon: "In the hope of getting prompt ac tion that would give relief to the dis tricts where water has been short the past few years, we accepted the amend ment aa suggested by the Mayor and members of the Water Committee, which eliminated some of the provi sions which we thought ought to be Incorporated.- I was present when the committee was given assurances that the amendment would go on the bal lot, and now If that promise is not carried out until next April It Is all wrong and a breach of faith with the people. We shall Insist that the amendment go on the ballot according to the promise given us. Failure to do thts at this time might mean that vast Improvements will be held up and the districts that have been suffering for water will not be relieved even next year." Secretary S. W.

The death of Cox was not reported to the Coroner and first news was re ceived by the authorities through a report made to Chief of Police Cox by Patrolman Roberts. Thla officer was called before the District Attorney yesterday afternoon and gave the fol lowing account of his knowledge of the death of Cox: Dr. Bartel has a hobby for the cur ing of the use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs, and has often spoken to me about a treatment he was devising. Wednesday night, about 7:30 o'clock, I met him In front of his sanitarium at Kern Park and he told me that ha iad a patient taking the cure and wanted me to come In and see how well it was working. I went with him and saw a man strapped to a bed. He was delirious, his eyes were rolled up ind he kept talking and grabbing at his throat. The doctor seemed to be satisfied with the progress of the cure, and not at all alarmed. There were two nurses present. "Just as I was shout to report off duty, at 10:25 o'clock, I saw the doctor rushing about the drugstore, on Fos ter road, appearing to be very much excited. He told me that he had had bad luck and that the man was dead, j , Dr. Bartel said that he had given all the antidotes he knew of. without ef feet. He also told me that he had turned over the medicine to another person. In case an Investigation should be made." The physician said that Cox had died of nephritis, with which he was at tacked a week ago. lt was arranged that Dr. Bartel should meet Coroner Norden and Deputy District-Attorney Fitzgerald at I o'clock yesterday aft ernoon to tell what he knew. He failed to appear. . Inquiry made at his house brought the Information that he had left home at 1:15 o'clock. Frequent efforts after that to get Into commun ication with him were unavailing. Patrolman Roberts was instructed to get a sample of the medicine admin istered by Bartel and it will be anal yzed. If It appears that Cox came to his death through experimentation or lax methods, the case will be laid before the present grand Jury. An In quest will be held today by the Cor oner. A. W.
