Aldermen Younkerman hastened home
from Colorado because of the disquieting
reports that reached him at Denver Sat
urday morning, detailing the sudden re
iiRitatlon of the waterworks problem, and
he cut short his visit several days and
left Sunday night In order to reach Council
Bluffs In time for the regular weekly Mon
day night councll meeting, tinder the lm-
prension that the council was likely to
grant the water company a new charter in
his absence. . He was relieved, however,
to discover that there ivi no mee'lng
scheduled for last night anl none possible
until next Monday night.
"1 don't . know why Alderman Fisher
waited until t was absent to spring his
plan to give the water company another
chorter," said the alderman. "It will not
do any good, and all the harm that', done
Is that It only cut short my visit severil
days. There will be no charter granted If
I can help It, and I will flpht it every min
ute I am a member of the council. If the
people will let us nlone we will solve the
problem all right, for wo fe-;l assured the
court of appeals will affirm Judge Mc
rherson's decision in the Nash injunction
suit to prevent the Completion of the $f,0O.CO0
water bond iwsue. The decision should be
delivered In December, and ty January 1
we can have the money to buy the old
plant or build & new one."
The Fisher proposition for any sort of a
compromise that will afford a reasonable
solution of the waterworks tangle appears
to ve very favorably regarded by the busi
ness and progressive Interest, of the city.
Many of the principle business men and
largest property owner, have expressed
themselves in favor of a compromise that
will give the water company an opportunity
to make the improvements and extension.
so sorely needed. The fight has now been
going on for more than six years, and three
set. of alderman have had a try. at it, with
the result that the situation grew steadily
worse, ending in a recelver.hlp for the
company and transferring all of it. busi
ness affairs to the control of the federal
court. Not a foot of pipe can be legally

Park Hydrant
. t -t-
Several Hundred Dollars' Worth of
Damage Done in Fairmount Park
Reason Unknown.
One of the hydrant, placed at the highest
point in Fairmount park where the water
can be conveyed from the reservoir was
smashed some time Sunday evening and the
valve stem driven down and wedged so
that the hydrant would be opened to tta
fullest possible extent. It ran all night
and until discovered yesterday afternoon.
Over 700 barrels of the artesian water in
the reservoir was drained out snd wasted.
and the earth washed away from the feed
pipe for a long distance, entailing a loe. of
several hundred dollars.
When Park Commissioner Graham was
talking about It yesterday, he was about
as thoroughly disgusted and angry as it is
possible for him to become. "It seems
to me," he said, "that about one-third of
the people of the world are foolishly in'
sane, one-third are viciously criminal and
the other third of u. are driven to the
point of nervous prostration and Insanity
trying to prevent universal destruction.
There have been no public improvements
apparently more greatfully appreciated
than the splendid and expensive water sys
tem that we have installed In the park, yet
one of the hydrants where the greatest
number of people get their supply of water
for household purposes has been smashed
with hammers three times this summer In
a spirit of pure devlllshness. It is un
doubtedly done by boys, but the parents of
these boys are to blame. They are educating
and developing criminals . while believing
they are giving their children the best of
moral training. It we can succeed in
getting hold of some of the miscreants,
there will be come lessons taught that will
not be soon forgotten."

Made Plala at Beverly.
BEVERLY, Msss. Aug. 2S. A visit to
President Taft from Representative W. W.
Cocks of the Oyster Bay district, and one
of Colonel Roosevelt's closest friends and
advisers, came as a fsreruuner In Beverly
todsy to what transpired in New York and
Oyster Bay last night. Mr. Cocks Immediate
ly upon his arrival. Indicated that a better
understanding waa soon to be had and
declared without equivocation that there
would be no break between President Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt.
The president's letter. In many of the
dates and details given, throws an Inter
esting light on a number of recent events
In Bevsrly. Probably the most Interest
ing of these was the Interr-.ew given out
by Vice President Pherman, following his
talk with President Tsft last Wednesday.
On that occasion, it now transpires, the
president told Mr. Sherman that he de
plored the action of the state committee In
voting down Mr. Roosevelt and that he
wanted him to ace Mr. Roosevelt and try
to arrange an agreement.
your administration Into a factional con
Diet has produced a most complicated sit
uation and the absence of authoratlve In
formation as to your attitude Is serously
misleading many republicans and Impairing
a movement for progressive party leader
ship and clean government la this state.
I know you desire us to have a fair field
and bope that this will be made clear to

Statement of Attltade Vatrae.
The statement that 1 have ever ex
pressed a wish to defeat Mr. Roosevelt for
the temporary chairmanship of the conven
tion, or have ever taken the slightest step
to do so, is wholly untrue. I have never
heard Mr. Sherman's name suggested aa
temporary chairman of the stats convention
until I saw ln ths newspapers ot August
1(1. that he had been eeleoted at the meeting
of the committee. W hen you cajled at my
house Saturday evening, August It, you
told me that Mr. Roosevelt Intended to go
to the convention as a delegate, and you
suggested incidentally his being made tern
porary chairman a suggestion n whloh I
aoqulesed. It did not occur to me that any
one would oppose. It. This was the first
trme the subject ot the temporary chair
manship was mentioned to me by any one.
You did not ask me to take any action
whatever with respect to It.''
