A.-Dill, superintendent of the company was before the board this morning. No action was taken, but It is understood the company Is willing to sign such an agreement, if a satisfactory

Mr. Dill explained to the board that the city sprlnl'Jiug between the hours of Ave and el.lht, both morning and ' evening, caused decrease in the pressure on the city lines of from 0 to 15 pounds. When the Are department uses several plugs, V he pressure is still more decreased. Satisfactory fine service, even with the pumping station plant sending a powirr of 150 poinds of water through the city mains cannot be maintained In a satisfactory rway. with many persons sprinkling, the streets. Another cause of decreased pressure are the public schools and the horse drinking fountains. Mr. Dill declared the schools waste . enormous quantities of waier. The monthly consumption at the high school Is three-quarters of a, million gaVlons, 80 per cent of which. Mr. Dill says, Is waste, because the .Janitors fall to turn off the water at night. Other 'schools waste water, although! not In such large quantities. Superintendent Mott, of the public scbools. It is said.

The board this morning, ordered one new fire plug, and ondered the company to place a new main on West Fifth street, between the National Road and Main street.. Thefle was a petition filed for this water main a week or two ago, and the hoard desired that It be placed at once, for soon West Olfth street will be torn up for lta Improvements, a macadamized roadway, cement curbs, gutters' and sidewalks. , . EARLHAM LOST TO ROSE POLY OUTFIT Errors on the part of the Earlham'i team lost their baseball game Wednesday afternoon with Rose Poly. Tha Earlham men did not seem to be able to hit the southpaw pitcher of the op-1 position, and were only able to acore one run during the contest. The ability, however, of Hays ,the Quaker twirler, and the Earlham infield to hold their strong opponents to three runs was nothing short of spectacular the Rose Poly men hit hard and long at the slow balls that were pitched to them. In the second Inning, errors by the Earlham Infleld and pitcher Hays allowed the visitors to gain three runs. Earlham came across the plats In the third with lta lone tally. Catcher Beard's throwing to second base was the feature of the game. The Earlham backstop succeeded In catching three men. Two base hits Reagan. Left on bases Earlham. 2; Rose Poly, 6.

(National News Association) New York, May 23. Clark Griffith, who is here with his Cincinnati Reds, still Insists that he never has played the role of Santa Claus in making deals for players with rival major league clubs. Griff doesn't like the idea of being told that he has used poor judgment or has been hoodwinked by the David Harums of professional baseball. The Cincinnati manager is a conscientious, energetic fellow, who seldom allows his mind to wander from the national game and who would rather pilot a winning team than be elected president of the United States. Griff has had so many heated argu

ments over his deals that several crit ics have taken the time and trouble to enumerate them, giving the result of each with as much impartiality as they can command. An Early Swap. One of Griff's early swaps while manager of the Highlanders, was with James McAleer, then in charge of the St. Louis Browns. He handed over Jack O'Connor to McAleer, for Big John Anderson, and results show that Griff got the better of the trade. Inasmuch as O'Connor had seen his best days, while Anderson proved a worthy member of the Hill Top team for some time after. Another deal with McAleer involved the exchange of Joe Yeager for catcher Branch Rickey. Yeager did well as third baseman and utility Infielder for the Browns, but Rickey after reporting here became ill and finally retired permanently from the professional arena. Griffith's third deal with McAleer was a complicated affair. He got hold of Hobe Ferris of the Boston Americans in a roundabout way and traded him with second baseman Jimmy Williams to the Browns in return for pitcher Fred Glade and outfielders Harry Niles and Charley Hemphill. Williams and Ferris, who have drop ped out of major league company made the Browns a first division team that year. Glade was a big disappointment here, and finally quit baseball. Niles was a failure too, and was traded, but Hemphill remained a valuable addition to the Highlanders. McAleer got the better of the trade in which he turned over Big Jack Powell to Griff for Har ry Howell and a stiff cash bonus Howell pitched great ball in the Mound City, while Powell's Indifferent work here soon found him in much disfavor. Later Griff let Powell return to St. Louis for a paltry sum and the latter assumed a new lease on life, which is still in evidence. Before resigning the management of the Hillmen Griff sold third baseman Moriarty to Detroit for $7,500 and catcher Ira ThomaB, now of the Athletics, was also turned over to the Tigers for almost nothing. First Cincy Deal. As manager of the Reds Griff's first deal was with the St. Louis Cardinals by which Roger Bresnahan secured second baseman Miller Huggins, cen ter fielder "Rebel" Oakes and pitcher Frank Corridon In exchange for pitcher Fred Beebe and Alan Storke. Huggins is one of the best infielders in the national league end Oakes is a coming star. Corridon is in the minors, Beebe slumped in his work in a Cincinnati uniform and Storke . died before the championship season began. Griff traded third baseman Mowry to Bres nahan for shortstop Charles, the former making good and the latter being turned back to the bush leagues. Griff's biggest deal was made last winter when he exchanged center Aid er raskert, third baseman Lobert and pitchers Beebe and Rowan to the Phil adelphia National for center fielder Bates, third baseman Grant and pitchers Moren and McQuillen. Manager Dooln in setting forth that he got the long end of the transaction points to the fact that the Philadelpias are leading the race and have a stronger team than last year. But Griffith nothing daunted, predicts that Cincinnati will finish ahead of the Quakers which will prove beyond peradventure that he outwitted Dooln when he made the deal. On the face of it Griffith has made more baseball deals than any other big league manager. KANSAS GIRL HAS PRETTIEST FEET Lawrence, Kas., May 25. A Lawrence girl, Miss Genevieve Hager, the daughter of A. G. Hager, a former city attorney, has the prettiest foot in the world, according to Mme. Pavlowa, the Imperial dancer of Russia. Miss Hager formerly lived in Ohio street and was known for her classic dancing. At present she is touring the larger cities in the United States with a company of her own and interpreting the English folk dances. Her favorite dance Is given in bare feet and is known as the "Subhi Kazib" or the False Morning." Another of her dances which has also won praise is the "Song of Autumn'' dance. TWO SMALL TOWNS MAY LOSE RAILWAY A corps of local engineers Is now working between Losantsville and Webster endeavoring to establish a shorter line for the C. and O. of Indiana railroad between these two points. By the survey already made for the purpose of giving the officials of the road an idea as to the cost of reconstructing the line by reducing the grade and eliminating the curves the line is shortened a mile and a half. By the route laid out, Economy station will be half a mile north of its present location, the Wiliamsburg station an equal distance from where it now is located, but the Webster station will remain in about Um same place it now is.

Provisional Government Will Assume Charge Night of Rioting.

(National News Association) Mexico City, May 25. Minister of Foreign Relations, de la Barra, issued an official statement today declaring President Diaz and Vice President Corral would resign thisafternoon, and imeradiately assume charge, the provisional government would impediately assume charge. The official estimate of the rioting casualties last night is twenty-fice dead and thirty-6lx wounded. Revolutionary leaders sent a courier early today to tiie revolutionary general Figueroa, demanding him to capture the Capital; depose Diaz and prevent further trouble. Figueroa's army is only forty miles distant. After 12 hours of bloody rioting with the police and troops firing upon mobs or revolutionists who were shouting "Death to Diaz," and "Death to Foreigners," order was partially restored in tlie capital early today. The long expected revolt in Mexico City is now as accepted fact, however, and turbulent crowds are gathering in various parts of the city, threatening to storm the Presidential palace and hang the President. Martial law has been proclaimed and War Minister Cosio has taken personal command of the troops. As a result of the scenes of anarchy, President Diaz is said to have informed his ad visors that he will not resign. Another report was current this morning that he had fled from his palace and had taken refuge where it would be impossible for the revolutionists to find him. In view of the pains taken to guard the palace, machine guns, manned by the most loyal of the troops being placed at all ap proaches, the report tliat Diaz has fled, was seriously doubted. FOREIGN PROPERTY WAS VVELLGUARDED Warring Factions in Mexico as a Rule Did "Not Do Much Vandalism. (National News Association) San Antonio, Tex., May 25. The proverbial ill wind that blows somebody good is emphasized in this city just now. Hundreds of refugees, both Americans and Mexicans, have come into this city from Mexico to escape the disturbed conditions in that coun try. The report of every one is to the effect that the insurrectos are largely in the ascendancy. So far little damage is reported to American interests, both the federal and rebel soldiers being particular to guard foreign inter ests, and leave unmolested the proper ty of foreigners. It is true, however, that in some localities bands of marauders, just as these grow active in any country in times of war, have preyed upon the people, but the organized forces upon both sides have been aa considerate as could be expected un der the circumstances. It might be said with considerable truth that the rebellion in Mexico has been directed from this city. The Madero family, including the father of Francisco I Madero, the provisional president of Mexico, and leader of insurrecto forces two brothers, the wife of Madero, sen- j ior and Ma! Francisco I. Madero have resided in this city for some months. occupying a handsome residence at 417 North Main avenue. A stream of telegrams has poured into the Madero home here both day and night and previous to th present peace negotiations, the elder Madero and a number of prominent Mexicans might h seen at most any time in consultation in a front room of this residence. The Madero family is one of the best In Mexico and are polished, affable people, capable in business affairs, and previous to the present disturbance in that country which necessitated their living outside the Republic, moved in the best circles and were a strong force in commercial undertakings. One characteristic of the family has been emphasized by Francisco I. Madero in his treatment of General Navarro and the captured force at Juarez. His magnamity for a vanquished foe has shown him to be a superior man and has strengthened his position very much in the estimation of the people regardless of whether he be wrong or right in his contention. It is said by those who are acquainted with the family that his actions are characteristic. ASPHYXIATED WHILE BATHING IN A TUB (National News Association) Bloomington, Ind., May 25. Chas'.
