It has been talked about in Seuth

Senater Vare was the active head and

Of tne arm h contracting busiue.-s

The death of Senater Vare, head of

Edwin II, Vare, Jr., was graduated

the Harding Administration for the
next two years will be te break the
political alliance of the farmer with
labor which produced the surprising
overturn in Minnesota nnd was the
source of strength of the progressive
candidates in Iowa, Nebraska, Wis
consin nnd elsewhere.
The President's political advisers re-
Jard the labor vote as gene from the
tepubllcnn Party. But they think the
fnrmer vote can ensily be retained, and
that the rural elements must be kept
satisfied in order te mnlntuin the party
strength in 11124.
One plan being discussed Is the filling
of the llrst vacancy thnt may occur

the farm bloc. Thn President mnv

bv which the bloc has uenernllv rerpivpil

ture the lilec will obtain what it asks
for mere easily.
New, there is nothing radical in what
is i-ought by Senater Capper and the
mere moderate msijerltv of the farm
bloc, and their managers the leaders of
the Conservative Farm Iturcau Federa
tion. By making a few concessions the
Administration can drive a wedge be
tween these men nnd the mere radical
members of the bloc like Senators Ln
Fidlette, Broekbart. Fruzler, Xerris,
Shi pat cad and perhaps Hewell audi
Ladd.
Would Isolate the Extremists
The extremists, if the Harding policy
works and the farmers nre satisfied, will
be Isolated and their capacity for dam
age in 1024 will lie lessened. It re
mains, of course, te be seen whether
it will work, whether the farmer will

SYSTEM IS URGED
Chief Davis Wants Hydrants
Kept for Exclusive Use
of Firemen .
WASTE IS GREAT MENACE
"There Is a pressing need for nn
auxiliary system of wnter plugs, se the
tire liyrtrnnts mny tie used exclusively
for fire service." my Chief Davis.
He was questioned pnnccrnir"? the less
nf city witter through leaky hydrnnts.
Seven were found in one district which
observers say, have been running
full force for weeks
One plug nn the southeast corner of
Delaware avenue nnd Catharine street
hns been pouring water Inte a drain te.
four weeks. The ruihing is wearing
away under the pressure of the jynter.
Other leaking wnter plugs nre nt
Delnwnre avenue uml Kenllwertli street,
Delnwnre uveiiue nnd Pninbridge street.
Frent nnd Pemberton, Blghth nnd Fitz
wnter, Delaware avenue nnd fieen
street, and Swnnsen nnd Beck streets.
Faces Many Difficulties
Mr. Davis indicnted under what dif
ficulties the department worked.
"On the average of one fireplug n day
Is damaged beyond repair by automo
biles," he said. "Heavy trucks bncls
into them nnd we hnve te replace them.
We replace from ninety te a hundred
every month.
Our total of repaired plugs Inst ear
wns 012. Alse we have public senti
ment against us in the summer me
of plugs. Children in the congested
districts like te play under open hy
drants. It Is het ami people sympa
thize with tbein.
"If n policeman attempts te nri'est
e child for turning en a hvdrnnt he is
Inughed out nf court. Kvcry Tem, Dick
and Harry thinks that he has the right
te turn nn the fire plug. We' need u
system which will eliminate this.
"There are ether legitimate uses
for cltv water in the streets nside from
tire. There is the street-cleaning de
nnrtment. contract jobs, repnir work
and the watering places operated by
the Society for the l'rexentieu et
Cruelty te .tnlmals.
Want Plugs Protected
"We nre in perfect nceerd with nil
these ultilltles, but tlre-hydinnts were
made primarily for fire-lighting and frn
net fitted te de ether work. Seme
knowledge of the construction of n lire
hydrant is necessary te operate it
properly.
"Firemen nre instructed at the fire
school In use of the plugs. People use
all kinds of instruments te turn en
the wnter."
Chief Davis indicated heavy wrenches
and bars which have been taken frein
these caught tinning en fire plugs. Thesij
who tamper with these faucets often
tender them useless In time of fire.
"I would reiemmeiiil the installation
of what is known as wash paves," said
Chief Davis. "They are sinall auxiliary
lancets situated net Mr trem the plugs.
(juestiencl about the low water
iiressiire. Chief David said: "It is bad,
but getting better. We are striving te
Improve It nil the time. We are nn

care. We have no way te make them
ux u nut te shut oil the wnter until
thej de se. Suppose there is sickness
In the family and there K no wnter.
Common humanity demands that we
keep the water running. This gees en
indefinitely and a let of water is
wasted.

tained because of Ids grent vitality.
Scotland Ynrd officials announced
definitely this morning thnt the nttempt
te nssnsMnntc Herwood wus by means
of poisoned chocelntes sent through the
mall.
These officials said they believe this
had been only one step in n conspiracy
te kill many people of prominence.
Accordingly, the police have issued n
warning te nil persons of note net te
eat anything sent te them by pest.
Sir Willlnm had n fnirly geed night,
but it was officially stated that he still

subordinates continue te mnlntnin the
greatest secrecy regarding the nffnib
Second Attempt en Life
An official is Quoted as saying it wns
the second attempt te poison the chief
by mnlled chocolates, the first box being
delivered nt Scotland Yard a fortnight
nge. It was addressed te Sir Willlnm
nnd opened bv nn nsxNtant cemmis

On Thursday, the Dnllv Mali nuetesi
the official ns saying, another aneny
meus box of chocolates arrived. The
cniet s secremry, .Miss irysdale. opened
It nnd lianded it te Sir William, who
took it te his room and ate one or two
of the chocolates while dressing for the
club luncheon. Miss Drysdnli had taken
one, but, disliking the tnste, threw It
nway.
One of tlie hospital physicinns said
thnt the nature of the poison had been
established, but refused te name it.
General Sir Wjiidham Cliilds,
director of (.rlmimil investigation.
stilted tl'.is morning he felt sure the
poison in the chocolates was Arsenic.
It wns recalled Minon;: these Inter

thnt Sir William was perhaps the man
most instrumental in bringing te tlie
gallows the assasuns of Field "Marshal
Sir Henry Hugl.es WlNen. nnd thut '

bitterness toward him timeng tlie ussus
