WASHINGTON. Jnn. 24. Obeyin;
a (Iccinion of tfic house demoerntic
iinncti, the house rules committee
today favorably reported out the
Kcntin; resolution providing for si
congressional investigation of the
t-trikes in the Colorado coal mid
Michigan copper fields. The resolu
tion probably will come up Monday
and its passage was believed certain.
The rc-olution provide for the

CITY WELL IS MENACE
TO HEALTH, SAYS TRANA
In his annual report submitted to
tho city council Water Supt. Trannn
makes several recommendations.
Tho old city well at tho Intersection
ot Klfirth and Riverside) ho declares a
roenaco to tho health ot employes
who arc engaged around tho premises
and threatens tho food supply at tho
public (market Ho suggests with
drawing tho pumps and tilling tho
well. Tho electric pump, according
to tho report, It pressed Into service
for emergency tiso would perhaps
contaminate tho entire water supply
ot tho city.
A new watcrmaln from tho reser
voir to tho southwest part ot the city
Is urged and tho following extract
Is quoted regarding tho Intake:
"During tho salmon spawning sea
son many fish can get above tho In
take and dlo when tho intako tender
removes splash boards of diverting
dam. If tho matter wcro taken up
with tho fish and game warden it is
probable that a permit can be obtain
ed that will grant tho city privilege
ot obstructing tho stream."
"Tho cost of gravity water lino
maintenance Increases year by year
nnd deterioration Is rapid. Tho city
should mako preparation for future
requirements by providing a substan
tial sinking fund as It will bo needed
probably In 5 years for pipe roplace-
anent.
The report shows that tho cost of
tro department In 1013 for labor nnd
material averaged nearly 11000 u
month. Tho phono line to tho intako
cost 2005.2t.
Attention Is called to tho expense
of firo hydrant inalntenanco Includ
ing cutting weeds and flushing. The
expenso could ho reduced, lu the opin
ion of tho water superintendent
tho city purchased a weed burning

lie admitted that the Hnlkun wai
and currency nnd tariff change had
given cause fur business hesitation.
but now, lie said, they were all oer.
He-ides, he added, the trade depres
ion in the Cnited States, at its
worst, was less than that which pre-
ailed abroad.
"For twenty yeni." he continued,
"the business atmosphere has been
filled with adjectives. "Business in
terests have been referred to as
predatory and 'grasping.' Corpora
tions have been termed 'monopolis
tic.' We have .hoard frequently of
'the powers that prey.'
"A Veritable arsenal of verbal
weapons has been created and pro
jectile force of language has been
used to the full."
Kedfield said ho expected soon to
establish it system of reports by his
department concerning business eon
daunts, along somewhat the same
lines as those of the weather bureau
of weather conditions.

You can Imagine by whom.
Perhaps our critics will feel bet
ter or worso after reading tho
following from tlin United
States Supremo Court -
"A usage to allow customers
to overdraw and lme their
checks and notes charged up
without present funds In tho
bank, stripped of all technical
disguise, the usage and practice,
thus attempted to be sanctioned,
is i usage und pruritic to iuln
ply the funds of the Kink; and to
connlvo at tho withdrawal of
same, without any security, lu
favor of certain privileged por
sons. Such a usage anil practice
Is surely a manifest departuro
from the duty, both "f the direc
tors and cashier as cannot rc
celvo any countcunuca In n court
of justice. It could not lie sup
ported by nny vote ot the direc
tors, however formal; and there
fore, whenever done hy the rash
ler, Is at his own peril and upon
tho responsibility of, himself and
his sureties. It is anything but
well and truly executing his dut
ies as cashier."
