DALITS ENGINEER
MAKES
DISCOVERY
While Millions of Gallons Run
to Waste Engineer Raises
Water Shortage Bogey.
WATER "DOPE" IS BEST YET
1- A. Taylor Wins Laurels .for Plan
to Holster- Chiefs $500,000
x-licnie Water Supply Abun
dant anil Heservoir Building.
A most alarming shortage of water
is trie latest di.scovery made by one of
Commissioner Daly's engineers as
signed to the ta.sk of gathering data
relevant and irrelevant to use in
bolstering up Mr. Daly's proposed
$50,oou water meter scheme which will
be voted upon at the June election. The
remarkable showing of this engineer,
Kdwln A. Taylor, was a revelation to
the rest of the Water Hnreau, Including
Mr. Paly, becntise .-.11 have persistently
Hsserted that Portland has an unlim
ited supply of water.
Hut Portland will not perish from
thirst this next Summer or for many
years to lOim either with or without
meters for Mr. Taylor's suddenly din-j
covered shortage is theoretical. It is.!
surrounded with "ifs." If Portland
suffers from thirst at all it will be
theoretical thirst.
The shortage is based upon the
theory that Hull Run River will fail
to bring down its supply of sparkling
water, that the pipelines will flatly re
fuse to carry their 67.OOO.0tlO gallons of
water daily, of which they are capable;
that a new 5no.noo,no0-gslon reservoir,
being built at the headworks, will re
fuse to hold any water, and that many
other theoretical catastrophes will oc
cur at the Bull Kun headworks.
Rverybody else who has anything to
do with the Water Bureau contends
that Portland has a sufficient supply
for a population of 750,000. Nobody
heretofore has disputed that Portland
has nn unlimited supply for present
needs. Opinions in this regard have
been based upon the. fact that at the
headworks one-third or less of the sup
ply oes into the pipelines and two
thirds or more goes over the spillway.
f the supply that goes Into the pipe
lines one-eisrhth rocs into the sewers
when it reaches the reservoirs in Port
land. Mr. Daly's figures show that
Portland had a shortape last year in
spite of the fact that there was not a
day during the record hot spell that
millions of gallons of water did not
run into the .sewers at the headworks.
In addition to there being an over
abundant supply of water at the head
works the year around the Water Bu
reau is at work now on the construc
tion of ;'. dam at the headworks to cost
JloO.OuO, which will form a natural
reservoir to hold 500,000.000 gallons of
water.
In addition to there being a suf
ficient supply in Rull Run River the
year around, there will be the ad
ditional supply of BOO, 000,000 gallons
after this year. This reservoir at the
headworks. according: to Commissioner
Daly's announcement, is to increase
the "head" so that the pipelines can
be filled to capacity. Its purpose is not
to add to the supply, but to raise the
l"-vel of the headworks. Until now1 the
Water Bureau has never realized that
an increa.se in water supply has been
needed. Therefore Mr. Taylor's report
was an eyeopener. He holds first laurels
so far among- the Water Bureau en
glneers for producing- "good dope" for
Mr. Daly to use in his meter scheme.
Mr. Tavlor, whoso particular work
is superintending construction of water
mains, concurs in the opinions ex
pressed by the rest of the Water Bu
reau engineers four in number that
city-wide water meters tn Portland are
merely a temporary expedient to head
off expenditures for reinforcing Port
land's distributing system. He says, as
do the others, that the reinforcements
will be necessary some time regardless
of whether or not the city Is metered.
The purpose of meters is to postpone
the time when these reinforcements are
necessary.
In other words the city will expend
approximately $100,000 a year from
now until doomsday to avoid a few ex
penditures now for reinforcing mains,
which will have to be built later anyway.

the National Security League, a Nation-wide
organization recently put
under way to work for a better state
of preparedness of the Nation.-
The league was founded in New York
and among the leaders are Joseph H.
Choate, who is president; Judge Alton
B. Parker, vice-president, and ex-Secretary
of War 11. Ij. Stimson, a director.
The league is non-partisan and enrolls
Republicans and Democrats alike.
The league has no connection with
"The Legion" with which Colonel
Roosevelt's name has been linked.
The purpose of the National Security
League is to promulgate patriotism and
arouse interest in a better prepared
ness of the Nation in case a crisis
should arise. Business men, young; and
old. will be interested in the movement
and while no actual steps in organizing
forces will be taken, the object of the
league's work will be to awaken the
public conscience to the duty of Na
tional defense in case of need.
As vice-president of the Pacific
Coast, Mr. Tebbetts will be sent to
various centers where he will lecture
and start movements. A meeting will
be called for Portland in the near fu
ture. Captain Tebbetts was active in the
organization of Troop A. and is
recognized as an authority on Na
tional preparedness, having? made an
exhaustive study of the situation in
the United states and other countries.
Commander "Who Cut AVay Through
Surrounding Foes Later Is Taken
Prisoner While Leading Men
When Seriously Wounded.
LONDON, May 20. Seven thousand
Russians captured on the San have
been added to the captives taken by
the Austro-Germans, according to Vi
enna and Berlin reports, which say the
Teuton allies have succeeded in cross
ing the San. Kight big guns were also
taken.
Emperor William personally directed
the operations on the San the first of
the week, says a dispatch from Amster
dam, which adds that the Kaiser ac
companied one division which was en
gaged in a terrific battle.
The Austro-German forces operating
against the defeated Russian front of
200 miles, number 1.360.000 men, it is
said, and the Petrograd war office is
rushing heavy reinforcements to meet
this great army.
Heroic General Captured.
General Kornilieff, in command of
the Russian division that recently cut
its way through an overwhelming foce
of Austro-Germans that had surround
ed him, has been captured, says a dis
patch from Petrograd. lie was person
ally leading a rear gard action while
severely wounded when captured, the
dispatch adds.
All reports agree that the Russian
reverse has reached serious propor
tions. Petrograd correspondents of
London papers saying the situation
seems something like a collapse of the
Czar's army.
Austro-German losses have been
enormous, however, and some reports
are that they have not yet won a vic
tory of decisive strategic significance.
Ruaatan Ammunition Exhausted.
One Vienna report Is to the effect
that the Russians have exhausted their
supply of ammunition.
Lemberg reports say large numbers
of .Austro-German captives are bein:;
taken through that district into Russia.
The Austro-Germans have gained
practically complete control of the Gali
cian oil fields, according to a commu
nication from Vienna.
Some Russian military critics take
the view that the Austro-German forces
are now reaching a position which will
be extremely hazardous for the Teuton
allies.
boy by that parcel post?" a negro In
quired at the stamp window yesterday.
The clerk looked, puzzled at a fat
negro boy- beside the man.
"I don't know. I'll refer you to the
Postmaster." he said.
The negro, James Taylor, took the
boy into Postmaster Collins' office and
again expressed the desire to mail the
negro boy by parcel post.
"Why don't you send him by the
train as a passenger?" Mr. Collins
asked.
"I done counted the cost and I ain't
got that "mount." the negro replied.
The negro said he and his wife were
separated and that he wanted to send
the boy to Poplar Bluff. Mo., where
his grandparents would take care of
him. He insisted that the boy go
parcel post.
Mr. Collins had the youngster
weighed. He hit the scales at 46
pounds. "Can't, send over 20 pounds
that distance," the Postmaster said.
"You'll have to divide your boy if you
send him by mail."
The negro scratched his head a bit
and then 4ook the boy by the hand and
walked out of the office grumbling:
"That parcel post ain't what It's
cracked up to be."

20. The Hritish steamship Drumcree,
which left Larry Tuesday, has been
torpedoed in the English channel. The
members of her crew have been saved.
It was only on account of the bravery
shown by the crew of a Norwegian
steamer that the passengers and crew
of the Drumcree were rescued. The
Drumcree was first torpedoed when off
the Cornish coast yesterday, but the
projectile failed to sink her. She was
taken In tow by the Norwegian
steamer, but the submarine started in
pursuit and the Norwegian cast her off.
A second torpedo finished the Drum
cree. She was sinking rapidly when
the Norwegian vessel, perceiving her
peril, returned and took off the pas
sengers and crew.
LONDON. May 19. The Admiralty

Harry Williams, of San Dirgo, Wanders
to Police Station Where Skull
Found Fractured.
"It's Gladys I want and I am afraid
that I have lost her forever. ' I don't
know whether I am married to her or
just engaged, but I must find her." In
this manner spoke Harry Williams, of
San Diego, from the wandering mazes
of his troubled memory, as he
endeavored to recall incidents of the
past at the Emergency Hospital yes
terday. Williams was taken to the
hospital early yesterday morning, sup
posedly ill, but found later to be a
victim of asphasia, a lapse of memory
resulting from an old wound in the
head.
Williams desired to telegraph to San
Diego when he entered police head
quarters, but he spoke in a stuttering
fashion and disconnectedly and was
sent to the hospital for treatment.
When on the verge of being sent to
the County Jail for examination by
insanity experts, it was discovered that
Williams was still suffering from a
bad concussion of the brain from
which he had never fully recovered.
There is still pressure upon the
brain, thinks City Physician Ziegler,
although a silver plate had been in
serted in the skull to relieve it.
Williams found it difficult to answer
questions yesterday, but this much was
gleaned from him: He had suffered a
brain concussion nearly a year ago in
a fall from a ladder while working for
the Highland Orange Association, near
San Diego. He came to Portland from
San Diego two weeks ago. by rail and
boat. He registered at a hotel here but
does not know which one. The events
of the last few days and of many days
during the past year are hazy with
him.
There is a Miss Gladys French in
San Diego, or a Mrs. Williams, he
declares, for his memory does not serve
him as to whether or not he is mar
ried. Williams Is 35 years old, and is well
dressed. He had about $16 on his per
son when he wandered into police
headquarters.
An investigation is being made as
to where he was stopping here and
with regard to San Diego connections.
Messages have been sent to Dr. De
Ville. In the meantime, Williams Is
made comfortable at the Emergency
Hospital. He sent out for his meals
yesterday, and as he rests he is ap
parently improving his condition. Dr.
Ziegler expects that he will have re
covered his -memory fully in a few
days, if improvement continues.

beside her, staging- a supposed murder
scene early Thursday morning, for the
benetlt of her husband with whom she
later said she had quarreled. Someone

there had been a murder.
Twelve officers responded, but as

Plan for ronstrnrtlns Klre Stops on
Waterfront Also Placed on the
Ballot by City Council.
Two more proposed charter amend
ments, one providing for the annexa
tion of Linnton to Portland and the
other providing for means of construct
ing lire stops on the waterfront, are to
be submitted to the voters at the June
election, the City Council decided yes
terday. This makes a total of It issues
to be voted on and one more issue still
to be considered.
Commissioners Daly and Dleck op
posed submission of the I.innton ques
tion because of the bonded debt of that
town. It waa declared by Commissioner
Dieck. that Linnton'a bonded debt
amounts to 9 per cent of the assessed
valuation and that Portland would lose
by taking over the town and its debts.
Commissioner Daly asked the Coun
cil to instruct Auditor liarbur to. have
printed in all the newspapers full
financial statement of Linnton.
The second measure submitted was a
proposed act by the Dock Commission
providing for the construction of con
crete fire walls or fire stops on the
waterfront, the cost to be assessed
against abutting property owners.
A third measure proposed by the
Dock Commission. empowering the
Commission to lease for & term of
years street ends along the waterfront,
was put over until tomorrow.
The Council rejected a request of A.
W. Lafferty, representing Jitney driv
ers, that there be submitted to the
voters an alternate jitney ordinance.
The Council decided that there should
be but one Jitney measure on the ballot
