Although Health Commissioner Goldwater has ordered that public and private baths along the rivers, using river water. must be cloned because of the unsanitary condition of the rivers, Rorough President Marks ia in accord with the suggestion of The World that the baths may be kept open by using Croton water, Mr, Marka said to-day to Tho Evening World: “The floating baths certainly can- not be continued longer in their pres- ‘ent condition in the face of the re- E .

Croton water was run into the tank through openings under the flooring. Lhe buoyancy of the tank itself and ae pontoons kept the water about ‘thchew higher than the surround- ing river water so that the flow of *€roton water through the bottom was ‘spilled over the top of the tank. When the crowds were largest the valves }iwere opened to increase the flow and ‘fm the afternoon It was reduced. * "The tank was not made watertight And there was a seepage #o that bac- teriological tests showed certain bac- teria of river water, but the water within the tank was much less pol- Juted than that in the river, “The bathers objected to the tem- | perature, which was 10 degrees colder than the river. In many cases, small | 2 hoya who first entered the tank sub- *,@equentiy left it and jumped over- | , board from the piers alongside. At} would not be a difficult matter to, make these tanks watertight and to attach to them disinfectants which could still further reduce the possi- bility of contagion. ' CANNOT OVERCOME THE OB- JECTION TO COLD WATER. | “The objection to the coldness of | f the water could not be overcome ex- copt by installing 4 heating system which would be impossible, as t | daths are too old and have not suffi: - alent buoyancy to support the me: chanical equipment. “The department does not ‘with the statement of Dr. Don: is, ~ Armastrong that this experiment ‘dem: med beyond a doubt that the river bath equipment is im possible of successful modification.’ The objection that cold Croton water drives bathers outside to the river does not appeal to Superin- tendent of Bulldings Heaty. “If we furnish no Croton baths we _ Throw Away Your Eye-Glasses!

SUNDAY New York Man Objects to Method of Vituperation Employed in Revival Speech. Charles H.

Annie C. Bell brought against him in White Plains. Bell's complaint was filed to-day in the Su- preme Court, though the papers were served upon the evangelist a week ago, while he was touring Pennsyl- vania. Bell objects strenuously to Sun- day's characterization of himaelf and his wife as members of society. The evangelist used the slang word “‘sas- siety” and said about the Bells: “All of them are members of that society which is ever wallowing in putridity; which is as thinly dotted with scandal as the inky dome of 8 with twinkling stars.” rning the charges of cruelty made by Mrs, Bell against her hus- band, Bell alleges that Sunday said: “And then think of the brutal Bell pushing a whole calf's liver at his poor, aickly wife instead of the dain- ties which are allowable in the sick chw And thus it goes in ‘sas- ne of those animals ‘mollycoddle” He's a Teddy calla a fool whose brain 1s on the mel!

Prince Pierre Troubetskoy, the for- mer hushand of Amelie Rives, the writer, was the star witness to-day in the trial of Police Capt. James H. Gillen at Headquarters. Gillen stands accused of allowing disorderly houses and hotels to flourish in the old Ten- derloin while he was Inspector in command of the Third District from Sept. 1, 1913, to March 10, 1914.

Paris, He wae called to testify as to conditions around the Hotel Mumm at Thirty-ninth street and Sixth avenue. The Prince said that from observa- tions extending over a period of six years he believed the Hotel Mumm was @ disorderly hotel. Women and men of bad character congregated there, he said. He had observed many men and women entering and leaving the hotel without baggage. Many times, he said, he had been soliticted by women near the hotel entrance while on his way to his studio, “Have you ever observed men and women without baggage entering and leaving the Knickerbocker, the Wal- dorf-Astoria, the Vandervilt, the Plaza and other first-class hotelsi”" aeked Bruce Ellison, counsel for Capt. Gillen. ‘The Prince admitted that he had. Mr. Paris also testified, He said that by reason of the proximity of the Hotel Mumm his property had depreciated in value and he had been compelled to reduce his rents, The Women's University Club had refused fo engage quarters in hia building because of the character of the neighborhood. On cross-examina- tion Mr. Paris Was asked if he had ever seen the proprietor of the Hotel Mumm, “I have seen a man I believe to be the proprietor,’ he replied. “He looks like hengerea¢ from the ern Night's Dream.’ Mr. Paria said he had not com- plained to any Mayor or Commis. soiner of Police because he thought: West Thirty-ninth street, Mra, Eliza- such action would be futile.

As Ernest Boykow, a laborer, who occupies a room in the rear of the second floor of the tenement building at No, 387 East Fourteenth street, stepped from his room early this morning he kicked something round and heavy that rolled to a corner in the hallway. He called the janitor. Peter Schweigert, and together they examined the thing, which appeared to be an old fashioned bomb about seven inches in diameter, with a fuse fully fifteen feet long, which had recently been ignited. Patrolman Connell took the bomb to the East Twenty-second street station, where Inspector o Eagan of the Bureau of Combust! examined it and sald it would have done great damage if it had ex- ploded. There are twenty families in the tenement, and the Inspector believes loss of life would have fol- lowed an explosion at that time of day.
