Mr. paly explained how the water department tinder a former adminis tration began about four years ago to cease installing meters, but added some 200 miles of mains, hoping that by the ver,y volume Of water the waste might be overcome without .necessity of me ter - regulation. Yet, he added, : there were aa many complaints last summer as there ever' were. r Maters Repeated Authorised. The- only way to intelligently con trol and develop the water system is to control the outlets," said the com missioner. ! "One newspaper of this city has per. alstently Called its readers' atention to the fact that) we have 70.000.000 eal- ions of water ia day at the headworks, but entirely neglecting t'ae fact that under a system putting a premium on waste, .enough water for all could not be served no matter what the daily supply, because the mains could not carry it. 1 f "Three times the people have author ised meters. The bait held before the people when 'authority for unlimited I bond issues by the water department was desired, was the improvements would include metering. I consider these authorisations by the people mandatory upon the city. I do not think the officials of the city should be directed to do a thing and then not do it.

Three little words, but they turn the life work philosophy of Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth, reformer, lec turer and ' author, wife of General Ballington Booth,' commander of the Volunteers of America, who arrived in Portland last night. - -k Accompanied by her daughter. Miss Theodora Booth, recently graduated from the National Park seminary of Washington, D. C, she reached this city from Salt Lake City- nearly two hours late. . The rain and the lateness proved no bar to the enthusiastic welcome she received from officers -of the-Vol-unteers of .America and others Inter ested In her work. McElroy's brass band played a potpourri of national airs aa she walked to the waiting room; both Mrs. Booth and her daugh ter carried corsage bouquets present ed by the local Volunteers. The om nipresent reporters and a photogra pher swooped down upon her. . "But I did not expect to see any reporters," said Mrs. Booth in a de lightful English accent. "I had hoped to get to a hotel and make my daugh ter give out the interviews." Strive to Practice Knmanlty. Miss Booth explained that she .was serving as her mother's secretary for the trip, and incidentally Miss Booth has no English accent. Both, however, expressed it a pleasure to be in Port- land. tI don't know what I am going to do; here," said Mrs. Booth. "I am in th hands of you Portland people. But of course I am traveling in the inter? ests of my work, my life work, prison reform. I am trying to make better men and women out of prisoners, to Improve prison Conditions. In short, I am trying to practice numanity. Hu manity, not brutality, la needed In our prisons. "I am finding a great response to my work, for the unfortunates In our .prisons are most susceptible to uplift. X make a practice of visiting only state prisons, leaving the other prison work to our local officers. I expect to visit the prisons at Walla Walla, at Salem and at San Quentiif. I shall speak at Salem next Thursday." 1 Miss Booth, Mrs. Booth explained, had Just finished school and was mak ing this trip preparatory to entering social service work in New Tork. Sho also expects to take up work in the Volunteers' hospital in that city.

Booth Home for Working Girls, conducted by the volunteers or America at East Seventh street. In the evening she will speak at the White Temple. It is probable that she will make short ad dresses at other churches also, though the demands upon her for speeches are far greater than she can possibly fill. Tomorrow she will addiess the Com mercial club at 12:45 p. m. In the green room of the club.

Army and with the Volun teers of America since its organiza tion in 1896. She is the author of a number of books and spends a large portion of her time on the lecture plat form. The proceeds or her lectures go entirely Into the treasury of the Vol unteers of America as her work in this regard is purely for the love of lt. ' Mrs. Booth is responsible for the es tablishment of prison relief work by the Volunteers, while her husband, General Booth, attends sblely to the executive end of the organization.

Recommendation Made in-Its Final-Report; City Jail' Is Commended. L Pay at tb rat of 10 cents a day for v prisoners while Incarcerated was recommended In the 1 final report of the grand Jury returned yesterday aft ernoon to Circuit Judge Kavanaugh. The grand jury cited the instance of a man who was released recently aft er serving a 80 day vagrancy sentence without a cent in the world. On the second day ; the man came back on a similar charge. The grand Jury be lieved the man might have kept from Jail had he bad a little money. A recommendation that witnesses held In Jail 'be paid their per diem at least , once a month was also made. It was believed that payment mada at certain times would assist witnesses. Ths grand Jury found that authori ty at the county Jail and - at Kelly Butte ia divided between-the sheriff's office and the county commissioners, and state that they believe the last legislature placed them under the con trol of the county commissioners. It was recommended that if this be true the commissioners assume sole . con. trol at once to Improve conditions. Much to commend waa found at the new city jail and the manner of con duct was approved. Conditions at the county jail, Kelly Butte, and Linnton rockpiles were also round good, though better drainage to improve the saml- tary conditions of Kelly Butte were recommended, with several shower baths, as bathing facilities are consid ered Inadequate. The food served at each jail and quarry waa reported to be excellent and plenty. Repair of a leak was the sole recom mendation for the Baby home, no rec ommendations were made regarding the Frazer Detention home, as it waa understood a new home is to be pro vided. Conditions were praised at the Multnomah farm, and lt was suggested that the work on new quartera for the hospital be hurried, as the present quarters are Inadequate. The grand Jury reported that 92 true bills had been returned, 68 not true bills were reported, and two cases un der consideration were referred to the incoming grand Jury.
