The suit. In which Wlnthrop Astor Chandler appears as plaintiff, is made necessary by the death of Henry Astor last Friday at his coun try home at West Copake, Columbia County, near Albany. Henry Astor was a son of William B. Astor and was eighty-six ycars old at his death. When he was a lad" of twenty he fell in love with and married pretty Malvlna Dlnehart, the daughter of his father's gardener. The marriage angered Henry's father so much that when he died leaving a $100,000,000 estate, he cut Henry off In his will. Under the terms of the will made by Her.-y's grandfather, however, the former still enjoyed the income from about 125 nar- eels of New York real estate left by .ionn jacoo .Asior, tne property which It Is now sought to have divided among the children of Henry's brothers and sisters. A suit In partition such as was commenced Is the legal way of termi nating the trust. Burnt Fatal to Mirfer Kxeelslor, Pa., June 11.

Nation-wide prohibition for the dura tion ot the wnr npproached rapidly today. Advocates of the cause were confident of victory when the Jones amendment to the agricultural emergency appropri ation bill of straight piohlbltlon meas ure comes up for, a vote. Prohibition members of the Senate belletc that the Jones amendment, which prohibits whisky sales and use and the making of beers and light wines thirty days after the passage of the act, has set aside the opposition to the Randall pro hibition which President Wilson and Food Administrator Hoover have voiced, The executive opposition to the Randall amendment was based on the fact that It would stop the manufacture of liquors, but would leave a considerable amount of whisky ln bond to be con sumer, and that this would place the nation on a whlsky-drlnklnk basis. The Jones' amendment would obviate this objection by prohibiting all traffic In whisky Immediately upon approval of the bill. It would allow thirty days for manufacturers of other alcoholic beverages to use up their stoncks on hand. The Jones amendment Is now In the hands of the Senate Committee on Ag riculture. This committee Is scheduled to meet tomorrow. There Is little doubt that the committee will return a favorable report on the amendment. In asmuch as a majority of the members of the committee as known to be strongly In favor of prohibition. While the prohibitionists appear to have a good many votes In the Senate, It Is possible the Jones amendment may be thrown out on a point of order that, an amendment dealing with- prohibition has no place as a rider on an agricul tural appropriation bill. In the event that the Jones amend ment is adopted by the Senate, there still remains the question of whether the House will accept It as a substi tute for the Randall amendment, vvhlcb left the question to the President, 7-CENT FARES IN EFFECT Threats to Walk Not Carried Out in 'Wilmington; Injunction Asked Wilmington', Iel..

Many of those enlisted have just reached the minimum age at which they can be taken ; others are Just bordering on the maximum age and In a few more months would have been rejected. 'They come from all walks of life all sorts, all sizes, all kinds and all designs, from all parts of the world1." said Lieu tenant Ketcher. "They come 'several years under age and want us to take them. We can't do It, but some fellows, with only a few months or a few weeks to go, plead with ustlo enlist them, and we can only promise to take them as soon as they reach the age. This satis fies them, and promptly on the day that they can go, they are on tho Job. "You can't beat the spirit the boys are showing at the navy yard barracks. Colonel Fuller can hardly hold them.

'A WATER SHORTAGES Neglect to Extend Capacity and Increased Consump- ' tion Blamed WAR ADDS TO DEMANDS ! Early Loan for Bureau and Greater Pumpagc for South Philadelphia Planned A water shortage in the central an southern section of the city Is Utile less than a certainty. Two factors enter Irfto . the present situation. One Is Councils' S failure to provide loan money for needed, extensions and the other ls the Increased consumption by war Industries. ' Twice each year the Bureau of Water finds Itself unable to keep supply equal. wlth'flemand nnd the arrival of the sum mer months bids fair to result In a shortage even grcat'er than was ex perlenced In past years. Last winter open hydrants lo(kecp pipes from freez ing was the. reason given for a shortage that- caused general complaint from business houses In the central and south ern section of the city. Chief Davis, of the Bureau of Water, with a very limited amount of jiioney on hand, hag repaired most of the pump ing and filtration apparatus at Torres dale and Lardner's Point and hopes to be able to run both tn'ohster plants at capacity nil summer. Capacity at these and other plants means an outside limit 'r of 350,000,000 gallons of filtered water each twenty-four hours. Already con-' sumption has nearly reached that point, and a steady Increase Is predicted as the summer progresses. In addition to high rate of consump tion the dally Increasing demands of shipbuilding Industries and war muni tion plants places the bureau In a posi tion of being unable to supply all de mands In sections south of Market street. Director Datesman, of the De partment of Public Works, estimates In creased consumption because of war ac tivities at 50.000,000 gallons dally. Where this extra supply is tq come from no one knows. ls.000,000 Loan Tlanned The after-the-war program of ac- tlvitlcs tentatively mapped out by city authorities calls for an early loan for the Water Bureau and plans have been r completed for extensions and new pump- Ing service for South Philadelphia. ,. which will cost the city In the neighbor- J noou or 8,ooo,ooo under before-the-war prices. In the meantime little or nothing Is being done to meet what Is admittedly one of the greatest emergencies resulting from Philadelphia's sudden growth as a shipping nnd manufacturing center for war supplies. In discussing the water shortage and the probability of greater trouble as the summer projresses, Director Dates man said: "Our desperate situation Jjaa been forced upon us directly by the war. The war demands have Increased, until Chief Davis, correctly claims that they amount to about IB per cent of the capacity of the works. In the northwest section therw Is an establishment which Is do ing dental work for the Government. It wants twice .as much water as it Is get ting, and the chief says that It Is Im possible for him to respond to tho call In that section. Take the BH11 Works alone: It has called for au increase of l'O.OOO.GOO gallons a year, half a.. ,vj million gallons dally. In Its supply. West Philadelphia,' Peril ' "If the Falrmount Dam breaks, all of West Philadelphia will be out of water at once. Doubtless Councils soon will be able to find the 65,000 which has ' tee'n asked to repair it, but other breaks can occur which would be hardly less serious, and $65,000 Is a drop In the buckot compared with the big needs of f the system. Chief Davis has presented ' a program ot Improvements and exten sions of the works which could be car ried out ln four or five yearn, which would cost 18,000,000, and which would 'i mean a capacity of 400,000,000 gallops x a day. It Is not a case like that of iho elevated railroad system, where tho ex- . penditure ot $2,700,000 on the Arch and Locust streets loops would be useless v without $34,000,000 for the entire Broad -, street system. The water works exten- , slons can be built In units capable ot , rendering full service If we had IlI.OOO.-v 000 or $3,000,000 a year."
