CAMPAIGN AGAINST POLLUTION OF RIVER iQtr Attorney Bond With the Aid of Fish Association, Investigates Matter.

SHOULD PURIFY WATER

Belief That Factories Can be Compelled to Install Disposal Plants.

A campaign against the pollution of the Whitewater river will be taken up by City Attorney Bond, who has made an investigation of the matter. The Wayne County Fish and Game Protective association and others who desire to prevent deadly chemicals from factories and tan yard3 from being run into the river have agitated an investigation. At this time, when the river is Iom', the chemicals and other refuse from factories and plants are especially dangerous to the fish. Howard Gluys, chief engineer of the city light plant, says that all the water flowing through

tne river could be run tnrougn a twenty-four Inch tile. Chemicals in Sewage. Near the M. Rumely plant is a sewer which empties dark red water into the river. This is heavily dyed with tannic acid from the Clendenin tannery on North Tenth street. Fish cannot live in water polluted with this acid, It Is said. Between the Doran and Main street bridges another sewer empties milk white water into the river. The white coloring was traced and found to be the result of the water softener from the Pennsylvania railroad. From the Light, Heat and Power company's gas plant, a large amount of oil is run into the river. Fish are Killed. Members of the fish and gam society claim that the stream is polluted several miles below here and that unless something is done to prevent the acids from being run into the river in a crude state, thre will be no fishing places within several miles of the city. City Attorney Bond will continue his investigation and he may take the matter up with council shortly. He believes that factories and plants throwing into the river a large amount of damaging sewage can be compelled to install a disposal plant to purify the water. The only disposal plant in the city, that at Earlham college, has been entirely successful, officials say.

Is Mayor Zimmerman superstitious or was he trying to kid the other members of the works board? The followingstory by the mayor is puzzling the officials: "I wanted a well dug at the race track and a Westville man came to me with an offer to take the job cheaper than any one else. I had expected to have to dig down fifty feet to find good water but the Westville man assurred me that he could strike water closer to the surface. "He cut a peach limb about a half inch in diameter and told me to follow him if I wanted to see how he struck water. We walked along in a circle and finally the end of the peach limb which he held began to bend towards the ground. He said that water always attracts a peach limb and declared that there must be an enormous vein of water about- eighteen feet under the spot where we stood. I would not believe him until he told me to try the peach limb method of finding water. "I tried it and it did the same thing for me. The tighter I held on to my end of the limb, the more the other end bent down toward the ground. I couldn't pull it up and finally I let go and took the peach limb away. Then I told a trainer to take hold of the other end and we would see if we could keep it from bending. "We walked to the spot where the water had been found and both held on as tight as we could. But the limb began to bend in the center. We braced ourselves and held on tighter but the limb gradually lowered itself. Finally it strained so hard that it broke of its own strength. Then I gave the contract to the Westville man and the agreement that if he does not strike water on that spot at a depth of eighteen feet, I pay him nothing for his work."

After a vacation of ten weeks duration, during which time he viBited England. France, Germany and Switzerland, Robert L. Kelly, president of Earlham college, has returned to Richmond. Ond his trip President Kelly was accompanied by his wife. The first month of their vacation was Bpent on the continent, two weeks in Paris, and the remainder of the time in Switzerland and Germany, where they made a trip down the Rhine and visited Heidelberg, Frankfort, and Cologne. The second month of their sojourn in Europe was devoted to visiting England, with two weeks stay in London and several days in Oxford, Kenilworth, Stratford-on-Avon and the lake districts. Prof. Kelly did not make the trip primarily to study along any line of school work, but some of the schools in England had opened before he left and he visited these. "European people take a great interest in our affairs,' said President Kelly. "The main thing to be heard in Europe now is politics. The continental people are taking a great interest in the present administration in our country, and I was gratified and surprised to find that they had an extremely high opinion of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan. The newspapers, however, are critislng the administration for the manner in which it is dealing with the Mexican situation. I have, had no opportunity to see anything but European newspapers and so I am acquainted with only the one side of the question. "The English people are very cautious along some lines, because of the erratic and unwise methods adopted by the militant suffragettes in their campaign for the ballot. "Many persons in England believe in

suffrage for women, but few endorse the extreme methods employed by the suffragettes. "The majority of English people have sympathy for them. But the fact that the suffragettes have destroyed property and even endangered life has made the people cautious. In some colleges in Oxford, no outsiders are allowed to enter and valuable tapestries have been taken down from the walls and hidden. In several cathedrals there are certain rooms where no one is permitted to enter, and at the York cathedral, no one can enter with any kind of a package in his possession. No women are allowed in the parlia

ment chambers except in a small gal-

lery where they may look down through a .grating into the roms." President Kelyl said that the trip

was very enjoyable. "The weather conditions during the trip to Europe were delightful, but on the return trip we struck the edge of ! a storm and had very choppy seas for j two days, with fog part of the time. I I

had expected to return home on

Tuesday morning, but we were delayed and came home through Canada, This delay was very fortunate, for if we had made the planned connections, we would have been on the St. Louis flyer which was wrecked at Wileys." When asked as to plans for the yearly meeting and the coming school year at the college. Prof. Kelly said that he had not been at home long enough to make any plans for the winter.
