It was explained that water was pump- ed direct from the plant, through the mains and back into the reser- voirs, this being- a necessary part of the flushing and cleaning process, Because the contractor for the in- take has not completed this, water being taken from the river through the intake of the old plant, and then is conducted into the new plant through a inch temporary pipe. In the new plant the water goes through the various processes the mixing chamber, sedimenta- tion basins and filters, and then may either be.pumped into the res- ervoirs for storage and distribution to the city, or may be pumped di- rectly into the mains, Samples of water as it comes from the Missouri River, after it has been in the mixing chamber where chem- icals are introduced, the sedimen- tation basin where ingredients set- tle out of it and finally as it comes from the filters, shows that in each j process the water becomes more | clear, The cast reservoir of the plant was cleaned last night, and the other two will be cleaned as quickly as possible, and baffles removed. The water as it comes from the filters is being pumped under the city’s own power. The. Diesel oil] burning engine which generates electricity is in operation at the new plant on the high lift pumps. No is test has been made officially, but it was said at the plant that. but about $12 of crude oil had been used in four days, The new filtration plant and pumping station is located a short; distance from the river, seven feet above the highest known flood wa- ters, according to engineers, between the two bridge: COAL COMPANY NAMES HEADS), Macomber Again President of | the Washburn Lignite Coal Co.

A large part of his speech was taken up with a resume of the disclosures of Senate investigating committees. The oil policies, in particular, came in for vigorous denunciation, “Show this administration an oil wall,” he said, “and it will show you a foreign policy.” Strikes at Administration “America has taken the measure of this administration,” he contin- It might have been able to free itself from the sectional idol- atry and to have looked beyond the skies of New England. It might have heard the gr of the distressed farmers of the West and sympath tically responded. It might have sought markets and removed the tariff jams in the channels through which our surplus products move. It might have alized world condi- tions and courageously assumed the part befitting a great nation. It might have reduced living costs, re- deemed pledges to the soldier, fol- lowed a definite domestic program, and adopted a broad and statesman- like foreign policy. But, even then, it would have availed if nothing with its carnival of corruption. “The least that the American peo- a amut of overlook their indiseretions, and, too often, forget their impotency, but to them corrup- tion is inexcusable, graft is inde- fensible.” Referring to Senate inquiries, Sen- ator Harrison was unsparing in his criticisms of former secretaries, Denby and Fall, former Attorney jeneral’ Daugherty, Charles R. For. bes, former head of the Veterans’ Bureau and former Senator New- berry, of Michigan. He paid high tribute to Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, prosecutor, of the oil inquiry and others connected with the various inves ions. “Decry them as they will, the Am- erican people know that it was these investigations—conducted by Dem- ocrats but through Republican com- mittees—that sent Albert B.

Stute standards came up quickly from their places and soon the floor jammed with a mass of milling arching delegates, prancing about, chanting: the song which became famous in the war days of Wilson.

The motion was adopted with a great chorus of “ayes” and Mr. Hull appointed a committee to escort Senator Harrison to the stand from his place in the Mississippt delegation. Senator Harrison got a rousing welcome as he appeared at the speakers stand. Then Chairman Hull in a single sentence introduced Seti- ator Harrison, turned the gavel over to him and retired.

The galleries were dotted with early arrivals, half hidden by the great cluster of American flags ‘that were grouped around the great arena. Three chandeliers, each 20 feet across, and studded with elec- trie bulbs, threw the convention floor into bright relief.
