Bryan Holds a 4 a. m.
Meeting For Night Work
ers at Request of Com
mittee Newspaper Men
NEW YOIJK, Oct. 27. William ,T.
Itrvan held one of the most remarkable
political meetings on record at 4 o'clock
this morning in City Hall park, when
lie addressed several thousand night
workers whose hours make it impossi
bio fur them to attend regular meetings.
Bryan stood upon the Bteps of the
city hall and the crowd gathered in the
nark about him. J he men came from
power houses, telegraph offices, street'
car houses, all-night restaurants, morn
ing newspapers and other places where
work never stops. The meeting' was
held at tho request of n committee of
morning newspaper men.
In his address llryan confined his re
marks to much the same arguments as
he made at the monster meeting at
Madison Square (lumen last night. H'e
dwelt upon the labor question and ex
plained points in I lie democratic plat
form for the benefit of labor and dis
cussed the anti-injunction proposition.
Human Derelicts Slumbered.
The night workers gave him u rous
ing recept ion and cheered like college
rooters. A peculiar phase of the strange
meeting was the fact that a half ho.en
human derelicts asleep on the park
benches were not. disturbed, but snored
serenely through the cheering and ex
citi ment. Arguments of tho labor ques
lion did not dispel their drowsiness.
With the glimmering of lights from
windows In-re and there in the lowering
olliee buildings, the early morning cry
of the uewsbov, the uncertain half
light of the dawning day nod the scene
in the park, when the enthusiastic
crowd cheered the candidate, made the
meeting one to be remembered long by
all who attended it.
Itrvan retired about . o'clock. lie
was up again, apparently refreshed, at
10 o'clock and delivered an nddress to
the Hrondwav business men at tho
headouarters of the Acorns, where he
was given a warm n-cepl ion.

cast last .lit u (i in tho entire county in
favor of prohibition and directing au

M ore. The decision upholds the char !

ini; the city from operation of local

The legislature in 1!HC enacted a

of intoxicating liquors, "irrespective of

Opinion on Charter.
It is on this provision that Justice
Moore bases his opinion mainly. This j
charter was enacled one year nfter th
provisions of the local option law be
came effective, nnd it was then in
orce in Jackson county, for Justice
.oore holds that, though flio local op
Con law was operative, the qualified
. liters of Jackson eounly had irnt elect-
I to make it potent in their county
until Juno, Hius, utter the adoption t,
the charter. Justice Moore also holds
that the local option Inw does not pro-
hibil the hiIo of intoxicating liquors,
but merely prem-ribes a mode by which
the enactment miiv become effective.
In 1!0;i charters were nlso enacted
by the legislature for Condon and Es -

Condor Company Replies
to Howard's Missive Up
on the Water Problem
The Condor Water & Fewer company
issues the following reply to J. H. Hew
nrd:
Mr. ,T. S. Howard's letter in Tues
day's Mail throws some needed light on
the water proposition of I. L, Hamilton.
According to Mr. Howard, the "gravity
wooden pipeline" that Hamilton pro-
poses to build would "stand only about
150 elevation on pressure (lilt pounds
per squnro inch), therefore it would
require eight or ten miles of 20 inch
sleel pipe to deliver I1O0 inches of water
to the Medford reservoir.
Would Be Without Water.
Mr, Howard was writing about the
Hater proposition, but what he says
applies equally to the Fish lake plan.
as the water pipe would begin at the
tame elevation. Therefore, according
to Mr. Howard, if the city of Medford
would pay Mr, Hamilton 2"i-l,H( for
a gravity wooden pipeline it would nev-
r get any water because the pipe would
break under the pressure and the city
would be compelled to replace eight or
ten miles with steel pipe at a cost of
about $loO,uoo. Mr. Hamilton does not
gun run lee or warrant ins pipeline 10
stand the pressure or any pressure.
According to Mr. Howard, "a 20-
inch pipe line with a fall of ten feet
to the mile would deliver 2S0 minora'
inches of water." No doubt Mr. How
ard is correct. Taking his figures,
Mr. Hamilton's HI inch pipe would de-
liver much less water or about
a nd
of
not more than ISO miners niche
water. According to Mr. Howard h es
limale, Mr. Hamilton could nut possi-
bly deliver to the city 0U per cent of
!tho water he proposes to supply.
It this not (in important mailer to
i consider before you cast your volet
i Quality of Water.
Mr. Howard makes another good point
against, the l-'isli lake waler in showing
up. the Hafer proposition.
He snys: " I his covered, eievnte-i
flume, way up in the air, will he ex
posed to the hot summer sun, making
die water almost hot in the flume,
breeding all kinds of microbes and bnc-
U'r'm and would be nn incubator of
enough tvphoid germs to wipe the in
habitants of our fair city off the
. map."
! Well, how about the water from Lit-
: tie Hntto J It unsses through tim e
1 cuttle ranches before it reaches the in
i lake. If water is stored in Pish lake
I and used for irrigation it will bo drawn
' off in the summer, Tho vegetation
.that grows under water in reservoirs,
the decaying trees in the lake an the
j bo pure today and laden with disease
1 and death tomorrow. It may look clear
and pure, but Iho microscope may re
al dnnterons bacteria. But however
pure it may be one month, a few months
later may find disease nnd death stalk
ing thn ugh a community owing to a
contamination from settlers living along
the st nam above tho point of intake.
There i no wny to insure n gainst this
except bv perfect filtration.
Why Hositatc7
r Then why hesitate between that
that which may mean health nnd long
life or ickness and death to you and
voiir fiimilv? Again, if vour water
pipes beeoni" contaminated with mi
erobes and bacteria from infected wa
ter, no onn can over be sum when the
water will again become pure nnd
healthful. We have new pipes for dis
tributing water. Every day we permit

and bacteria. Once the water supply Is

IN CONFLICT
New Party Believes That
All the Present Offers
Should Be Rejected and
Figure on 10,000 People
A fourth party has been added to
the conflict over the Bource of a water
supply for Medford. This fourth party
believes that nil the offers now before
(he city should be rejected and that in
stead the city should figure upon t
water supply for 10,000 inhabitants in
stead of JIO.OOO, and thereby savo the
heavy bonded indebtedness and the high
taxation, which is asserted will follow
to make up the deficiency between the
income and the fixed charge.
Among those advocating tho rejection
of all propositions nre a number of lead
ing citizens unci property owners prom
incut among them being J. C. Knyart,
president of t ho Medford National
bank.
It is pointed out that the fixed
charges on ;100,0()U of bunds will
amount to over iWO.OOO a year, $15,000
for interest ami $li,000 for deprecia-j
tioii; in addition there will be the cost
f maintenance and operation and re-j
pairs. I he c 1 1 v tt income now from wa- !
tor is from $0000 to $7000 n year. With 1
au nd equate water system this amount!
ouhl be doubled within a few yeam.
This would leave a large deficiency

a town of 10,000 Inhabitants, it will bo
in far better shape to go after an in

time. It is too late to finish a water

it is figured that it will be of more

little more money if necessary in en

Burke Does Not Dispute
Facts of Land Fraud
Story But Says He Did
Not Give It to Press
LOS ANOELES, Cab, Oct. 27. De
fying President lioosevelt or James
Schoolcraft Sherman to produce any
holdup letters written by him, and call
ing former Senator T. M. Patterson of
Colorado a "notorious liar," Edmund
M. Hurke, the Los Angeles, attorney,
accused of giving a statement to the
New York World implicating the repub
lican vice-presidential candidate in a
New Mexican hind grab plot, today ad
m it ted t hat t iie proposed statement
"would not at this time seem right,"
Hurke explained that it was com
rnou practice of corporations ten years
ago to secure large tracts of land
through "dummy onirics."
"Companies would have individuals
secure the laud and then transfer It to
them," he said. "It was such a com
moil procedure that many corporations
did it. The New Mexico Land, Lumber
& Development company differs from
the others in the fact thnt it got no
laud. That is all there is to it."
Doos Not Dispute Facta.
Once more reiterating his denial that
ho gave the statement printed in the
World, Hurke did not dispute the essen-
Mini facts in the story. His efforts
were alt directed toward proving thnt
he was not the informant. He alleged
that he had been approached by demo-
cratic leaders who offend him "lib-
evidently refused to pay any attention
to a holdup letter.
Says He Refused Offers.
"When the democratic leadors sent
men to me last August with their of
fers, ' ' said Hurke, ' 1 1 hen T notified
Mr. Sherman that the democrats wore
planning to use tho land enterprise In a
manner that would injure him in his
enmpnign. A fter refusing the offers
that were made to tempt me, T learned
that the Hocky Mountain News of Den
ver wus on the point of printing the
story of the efforts to acquire land in
New Mexico by Mr. Sherman, myself
and others. I hurried to Denver and
tried to provent tho i:so of tho story
In this campaign. When I came away
I was under the impression that I bad
succeeded. T saw Senator Patterson and
other men, but there was no conference.
I snw them individual and it is untrue
that I made a statement concerning; the
land enterprises in the presence of Pat
terson ami other witnssos. But Pat
terson is apt to say anything; he is a
notorious liar. People in (oluorsrto
would not believe him on oath, in his
own stale they call him "Tricky
Tom." which gives some idea of the
estimation in which he is held by thoso
who have known im for years."
