Today's game was easy for Fresno, French, who started the pitching for the Beavers, wan found for Ave hits in the first Inning, one of them a three-bagger by Eagan when two men were on bases. Merkle went to the slab In the second inning. In the fourth inning he walked two men, hit one with the ball and was found for three hits, Fresno gathering in five more runs. Merkle gave place in the fifth to Bert Jones, but he was unable to stem the tide of hitting, and three more runs crossed the plate. Lemke. the big Denver .outhpaw, made his first appearance in the box for Fresno. He was hit freely, but got himself out of the hole In every tight place.

WANTS "MAN HIGHER UP" Goldbcrgcr's Confession Raises In teresting Qucstlom About Muni cipal Ownership Holders of Office In Xcw York. NEW YORK. April 12. (SpecUL)-The latest complication in the extraordinary' Mayoralty mlx-up In this city has been brought about by District Attorney Je rome. He is authority for the statement that if Hearst Is seated ss the result of quo warranto proceedings, he can be kept out of office, because he never was legally a candidate. As evidence to sup port his contention Mr. Jerome has Ben jamin M. Goldbergcr under arrest, and Goldbergcr has been making confessions at a great rate. The specific charge against Goldbergcr Is that he forged the names of voters to certificates of nomination for municipal ownership candidates In several districts prior to election. Hearst and all the candidates who ran with him. not be ing the nominees of any regular party, were forced to secure their place on the ticket by petition. The law requires that a certain number of registered voters must request the nomination of the can didates and have their signatures certi fied to by a notary nubile. Large Percentage Forged. Here is the statement which Mr. Je rome made in court when Goldbergcr was arraigned: ''From an investigation made by my office there Is reason to suppose that from 15 to SO per cent of the municipal ownership certificates of nomination were forgeries." After Goldberg had been held for ex amination he personally, requested an interview whh the District Attorney, and, it is reported, made some astonish ing revelations. "I am now." said the District Attorney today, "endeavoring to do what the yel low journals attempt in criminal cases. I am after the man higher up and hope to land him." The nominations of the three municipal ownership candidates who ran In all five boroughs. William Randolph Hearst for Mayor. John Ford for Controller and J. G. Phelps Stokes for President of the Board of Aldermen, were made at the alleged request of 6500 voters. Only 0COJ names were needed, but the others were thrown in for good measure. Goldbergcr, who was a clerk In the Register's office, took charge of this work for the Munici pal .Ownership League, and was supposed to have 20 notaries at work under him. Before the arrest was made Mr. Jerome Instituted an exhaustive Investigation and discovered over 20CO names of per sons who positively stated that they had not signed the petition, nor had they been asked to do so. Handwriting experts. called In on the case, declared that of the remaining 4500 names, fully SO per cent had been written by the same per sons. This would leave only CO bona fide names on a petition which required 3000. Goldberger. it is said, has confessed that practically no effort was made to actually get names. Copies of .the regis tration list were secured, and names taken oft at "random, they being divided among the different assembly districts. vv e were so busy that we really didn't think it mattered much," is the way Goldberger explained his defiance of the law. After 3ran Higher Up. It Is not known whether Goldberger acted as he did under orders or not. If Mr. Jerome can land somebody high upYflf"1 ,?Jhc,cinp,0incn f nn- In the Municipal Ownership party he will be a happy man. but the full extent of Goldbcrgcr's revelations has not 3-et been made public A number of the candidates who were illegally - nominated were elected to of fice, and It Is a question whether or not any action will be taken to oust them. Of course, the Assemblymen are safe, for the Legislature will close In a few weeks, but there arc Aldermen who will remain In office until January 1, 1M7, and a num ber of county officials in Kings and Queens who are only just beginning to enjoy the emoluments of office. If the matter comes up In the courts. It will give the Judges a problem as puz zling as the famous one of "who is the chicken's mother the one who lays the egg or the one who hatches It out?" Legal Puzzle for Courts. There Is no doubt but that the Munici pal Ownership men now In office r&cclvcd a majority of the votes. But If they were never legally candidates, is It legal to credit them with the ballots they re ceived? On the other hand, as a majority of the voters expressed themselves as in favor of these men. should the law be so twisted as to disfranchise a majority of the legally qualified voters? The question Is admittedly mighty hard to solve. In the meantime. Hearst having been beaten In the Court of Appeals and de feated In the Legislature In his effort to obtain a recount. Is now preparing to start quo warranto proceedings. He fig ures that a final decision may be reached in about four years, and McClellan's term expires a few months before that. Hearst Enthusiasm Fizzling. Under the circumstances, the Hearst men have lost all interest In the Mayor alty, but arc devoting their energies to the Gubernatorial contesL But up at the Gllsey House headquarters of the Munici pal Ownership League, all is not unadul terated enthusiasm. "We were counted out by Tammany last year, gloomily remarked one leader. who is regarded as an astute politician, "and with Tammany doing it again next year, and those slick up-state guys using the ar for the Republicans, we will have to poll a wonderful majority or be robbed again." And Jerome Is busy hunting for thf "man higher up." He would rather land him than be Governor, so friends of the District Attorney say. BRIGHT LIGHT ON COLON (Continued From Pag 1.) than 200 men working on the entire project. "Why do you not have VjUT' I asked of each foreman I met. They all ac knowledged what I thought to be a self evident fact, that if 2003 men were cm ployed on the work the progress would be just ten times as rapid as with 209 men. This. too. In view of the rapidly approaching rainy season, which beclns nbout the middle of April. The engineers with whom I talked said that the work could bo pushed to completion In a short time with a sufficient force of laborers. On returning to town that afternoon I was surprised to find the streets of Colon full of negroes, just arrived from Jamaica and the other islands of the West Indies. More than a thousand bad been brought in on one steamer, hut all of them were transported immediately by rail to the Canal Zone. The waterworks was left to get aVoKg the hmt way If eovM. That fa why the res-erwlr Js now xoarceir bma .llMtt 4fc .yt AteW JtwM . ready, by April L The three dasas, two temporary and one permanent have bees severely criticised by engineers who are now out of the service, bat It is aot with in my province to discuss thes sdeatl&c features. These other facts are unavoid able, even to the untutored laymen. Officials Afraid to Talk. Concerning the two standplpes that were to be completed. I have been on the sites for each, and can discover nothing except good concrete foundations. As to the whys and wherefores. I know not. for it is next to Impossible to learn anything concerning canal operations from the offi cials. Those who are In the service of the Government will say nothing, and. the statements of those wbo have Jcft the service for smt cause or another are condemned as tbe plaints of the sore heads. Here is a case In point: Captain C V. Crowell. eae of the commissary of ficials at Cristobal, had talked with me concerning the conditions at Colon and had Invited me to participate at his "mess." to which, belonged several of the employes of the commissary department. The day and hour were arranged, but lo. Captain Crowell and his mates discovered that I was here on newspaper business, and I was requested not to come, as my appearance would be embarrassing to the party. What 'an excellent opportunity la here presented for the ascertainment of facts. Other officials. Including engineers and sanitary -experti". kindly offer to "tell something." provided their . names shall not be used. But "if I quote anonymous officials. I will subject myself to undesir able insinuations. Health Statistics Juggled. Returning to tho question of Colon's water supply and the unhealthful con ditions that naturally would result, the health office states that there has been only one case of yellow fever since lart December and only two cases since November last. Lists are kept showing that the city Is healthful. In the hos pital I was informed by the superin tendent that more than 200 cases of ma larial fever are under treatment, and this Is the most healthful season of the year. A series of Interviews with the druggists in Colon elicits the informa tion that more drugs are being pur chased now than at any similar period of past years. These apparently conflicting reports call attention to the ease with which vital statistics may be Juggled In Colon and Cristobal. Colon, it must be remembered. Is al most childless. The Joyous laughter of the youngsters Is not as prevalent as It might be. Neither has Colon many per sons bent with old age. This applies with equal force to the entire Canal Zone, which Li essentially a land of matured men and women. Tho labor ers and their women usually are in the prime of life. They are best fitted to resist disease. Among many of the Gov ernment employes, few have brought wives, taking warning at the cabled statement of Chairman Shonts. of the Canal Commission, that he would resign his position if compelled to bring his wife to the isthmus. Why Health Seems Good. Because of this condition, the mortality cannot be compared with that of any other city. Furthermore, when an Ameri can begins to feel 111 and played out. he straightway boards an outbound steamer and returns as fast as possible to his native heath. Thus the vital statistics of Colon are robbed of another entry. The same rule applies to a great extent among the negroes that are returning to their Island homes at the rate of 1SC0 a month. I have been told by friends of those leaving that they (the departing ones) had been feeling bad for wme time prior to their sailing, and had been keep ing themselves up on quinine. These cases are not reported to the health of ficials, and thus the statistics again suf fer. All of this is through no fault of the health department, but goes to show that figures sometimes lead one astray. Construction of Colon Dams. With reference to the water supply and the IM,0J.OJ-gallon reservoir. I have re ceived an interesting communication from Mr. George T. Kenly, who was employed for six months as an assistant engineer on the permanent dam construction at a monthly salary of CS0. The fact that he was employed for that length of time at that compensation would Indicate either that he was a competent engineer. or that considerable carelessness Is exer- will quote from Mr. Kenlys statement because It has been given circulation here, and if It la Incorrect an opportunity should be given for Its denial. Mr. Kenly characterizes the first dam as a "most childlike piece of construc tion." that leaked when tested at the rate of 2CO,0CO gallons per 21 hours. Be cause of this poor construction, he says, the second temporary dam was construct ed, and he was charged with Its construc tion. This would indicate that Mr. Kenly knows something of hydraulic engineer ing. The second dam has been completed and Mr. Kenly challenges criticism. Re ferring then to the big reservoir, he says: "The entire watershed Is less than one square mile, and the water surface at high water will be about one-fifth of this area,, whereas It Is a well-known fact that the watershed should be hundreds or thousands of times the area of the Impounded water surface. The country surrounding this Irregular basin will not average 20 feet above high-water mark, and aside from building two dams It will be necessary to build a dyke 12 to It feet high and about 10M feet long. The cal culated (maximum) capacity of this res ervoir Is about TO3s.O05.000 gallons (Mr. Taf t says K0.0M.0W." Defects In Water System. Then Mr. Kenly drifts Into a forest of figures, from which be deduces as fol lows: "It will require over one year to fill this reservoir. In fact, almost two years. If. Indeed. It ever does fill, and It Is my opinion that It never will. If the present plan of dam-building Is carried out. But more Important still Is the subject of cir culation. Two things are absolutely nec essary In a drinking-water storage res ervoir: (1). good circulation, and (2). a clean basin." In this regard It might bo well to say. that Mr. John F. Stevens, the chief engi neer of the canal work, attaches no Im portance to circulation. It Is also Inter esting to note that the annual consump tion of water, according to Mr. Kenly. will be from &.0.0:o to 7C0.OM.GuQ gallons for Colon and Cristobal. Continuing. Mr. Kenly says: Reservoir of Stagnant Water. "When the reservoir Is. full (admitting that It will fill), the water will back up almost, to the head of each little rivulet that formed this big basin, and, will thus destroy tho force of any water entering here, and owing to tbe dense tropical growth, and the low character and small area of the surrounding country. It can safely be said that all other drainage en tering this basin will not be felt one foot from shore. If the reservoir should fill up and waste a million gallons per day over the spillway, there still would be no sufficient circulation, for If. there was any current at all through the reservoir. It would be In the direction of Its greatest length, and owing to the I oca ties of the spillway would hug the eastern shore and leave the greatest volume of water to the west in an undisturbed and Inac tive state. Tho body of water will neces sarily become stagnated, and worse still Is the fact that It will be confined in a basin of filth and rottenness caused by putrefying vegetation, for It Is absolutely the Intention of those in charge not to strip this big area of Its tap soil, a spongy mass -of roets aad rotten vegeta tion, -varying from a depth ef a few feet on the hlllsMes to 12 or K feet In the bot toms." Mr. Kealy gees ea at length to prove his case. I can testify to the 4e tropical undergrowth aad the mm veg e4Uoa la the. reaerretr site.

There they will be presented to the Emperor and will listen to a speech from the throne, after which they will return to St. Petersburg and elect a president of the lower house. This decision was arrived at not on,Iy to protect the dignity of the sovereign, but also because no place has been pro vided for the Emperor In the Tauridc pal ace, where the lower house will meet.

The government, he said", was prepared to amicably consider the situ ation, but would concede nothing to menaces. It was Intolerable, the Minister said, that the public service should be at the mercy of undisciplined employes. The government would not recognize a federa tion of postal employes nor permit strikes. M. Barthou added that the refractory postmen woulud be dismissed unless they returned to work tomorrow.
