Dunlap, former chief of the Water Bureau, declared yesterday that, disregarding private interests involved, it is "impossible to regard the selected scheme seriously." "Why," demanded Mr. Dunlap, "should two thirds of Philadelphia mortgage itself to buy a supply of contaminated water when the entire city might have pure water at much smaller cost the clean water the city may need in the next fifty years," he pursued, "is to be had at a cost of not more than $60,000,000.

There are interests, however, which insist that the Perkiomen be used. Thus we can account for the exaggerated cost of the Tecommended project." $99,000,000 Called Absolutely Low The plan approved by the commission proposes to use the Delaware River at Torresdale and the Perkiomen and Tohickon watersheds. The commission has estimated the cost as but this Mr. Dunlap declares Emphatic denial of charges made by Director of Public Safety Butler that the Civil Service Commissioners had reinstated, policemen discharged for intoxication" was made yesterday in a statement' issued by William II. Kreider, chairman of the commission.

The statement also branded as untrue the assertion of Director Butler that the Civil Service body was influenced by political considerations. The statement issued over Mr. Krei-der's signature folloved a break between the commissioners and Director Butler last Tuesday when the latter issued an order taking the trial of some police cases out of the commissioners' hands. At that time he stated the commission had been "too lenient in dealing with policemen. accused of drunkenness and also appeared to be swerved by political influence." Mr.

Kreider's statement is as follows: "Charges in the public press, appar Hop From Muskogee of 225 Miles Made in Face of Strong Headwind Has Done Everything Possible to Assist Police in Tracing Robbers, She Says Woman Kisses Lieut, Smith and Then Disappears in Crowd at Field While police held the three survivors of an automobile accident that cost the lives of two men, yesterday morning, additional motor mishaps in various parts of the city, last night, landed a number of persons in While the bodies of the two men killed yesterday morning when their machine crashed' into the abutment of the bridge at Fifty-third street and Gibson avenue were claimed by relatives, the two other passengers, Charles McLeesta, 31, 2342 Moore street, and Martin McAndrew, 40, 1636 South Twenty-seventh street, were arraigned before Magistrate Dugan and released under bail as material witnesses, and Bartholomew Murphy, 28, 2245 South Hemberger street, driver of the automobile, was held at the Miseri-cordia Hospital under police guard.

10. Genernl Pershing's formal farewell to the army, written in the form of the last general order he signed on his birthday, September 13, which will be read to every army organization by the officer commanding at the first parade formation after it is received, was made public today at the War Department. It is addressed to "My Comrades," and bears the pimple signature John J. without other indication of his rank than the heading at the top, "General of the Armies." "No words seem adequate to express to you the conflicting emotions that feel upon reaching the date which officially marks the termination of luy active Kerviwe," General Pershing wrote. "Our experiences together have been varied.

We have withstood the same hardships and shared the fmme pleasures. We have faced discouragements and rejoiced over victories. "Today, the recollections that nwift-ly pass in review fill my heart with a deep sense of gratitude for the loyel service, and warm appreciation of the sincere devotion to the country of the patriotic officers and men with whom it has been my good fortune to be associated during the fleeting years of my army life. Example Will Be Remembered "It is my proud privilege, in parting, to say of the men of all ranks who have borne arms undr the flag thut none has more earnestly wished peace, yet in defense of right none has ever been imbued with loftier purpose nor more completely consecrated to the maintenance of our ideals. "My esteem for them and my admiration for their achievements continue to increase with the passing of time.

The inspiration of their exalted conception of citizenship and their fulfillment of its obligations should ever assure the preservation of our institutions. The glorious example to their fidelity -and courage will be remembered by those who come after us.

"The use of the latter figure changes the result completely. This business of yond the ability of the city to finance.

"An emergency exists," the statement continued. "It, is the duty of Council to provide the whole city with water and not to handicap the development of two-thirds of it. I have been engaged in water works engineering for thirty-eight years. A good deal of this has been on the Philadelphia water supply and I have been connected with every improvement made to the water works here since 1887. M'hen I was appointed chief of the Water Bureau during the last administration I began exhaustive study of the plan proposed for a new system of supply.

While nothing definite could be discovered or. at any rat, verified, there were, many things noted and manjx rumors heard that made me very suspicious of the project as then outlined, particularly in regard to the Perkiomen and the stabilizing of the Schuylkill River by the construction of the Queen Lane dam. Points Considered by Dunlap "Mayor Kendrick is not an engineer, but heimmediately saw the absurdity of the idea that a little fresh water would improve the Schuylkill or make it acceptable as a water supply. "Concerning new plans for the supply, I took into consideration the following: "1. The supply must be able to give the entire city clean water, say gallons a day, and must do so for the next forty years.

"2. An emergency existed which necessitated fnat the cost of the work should not be relatively excessive, but should be such that the city could, by economy, finance within the next six or eight years. "3. That designs should be such as would permit extensions to the Delaware Water Gap. "4.

The possibility indeed, a necessity some day that a Metropolitan water district will be formed -to conserve clean water and to -supply it not only to Philadelphia, but to Eas-ton, Allentown, Pottstown, Chester and intervening towns. That as far as was practicable the present pumping stations and filter plants should be utilized. (There is always a temptation to build new structures of this sort, but in most cases it is unnecessary to do so). Upper Delaware Plan Favored "After much study, a comparatively simple and commonsense plan was developed. It has been spoken of as the Neshaminy-Upper Delaware, or Neshaminy-Yardley plan.

It is sometimes, but incorrectly, called the Dunlap plan. Except for a few adaptations to present needs it is the plan recommended by Dr. Rudolph Herin and Colonel Ludlow in 1886. The Council considered it then, but finally rejected it in favor of the Delaware-Tohickon plan, which had many merits. "My conclusions were these: "1.

The Neshaminy-Yardley project would furnish up to 600,000,000 gallons of clean water per day at a cost not above $60,000,000 for construction and operation. trying to charge only 44 per cent, to the capitalized cost is like the subter DALLAS, Sept. 19 (By the Associated Press). Dallas paused today to welcome and greet the six intrepid army airmen who are now on the last few stages of their history-making round-the-world flight. More than 7500 Dallas citizens were at Love Field, six miles from the city, to welcome the aviators.

As Lieutenant Lowell II. Smith, the flight commander, approached the ground, a mighty cheer went up, to be renewed when Lieutenant Leigh Wade brought theBoston II to the field, and when Lieutenant Erik Nelson, the last of the three, landed. The flight from Muskogee to Dallas was made in three hours and 54 minutes, a hop of 225 miles. This was considerably less than the average speed maintained in other jumps of the flight, the lengthened time being caused by a etrong headwind which the fliers were forced to battle with almost constantly from Muskogee to Dallas. fuge of giving the results of bacteria tests instead of B.

Coli tests attempted at the last meeting of the Public Works Committee when figures to show the Delaware to be more seriously polluted than even the Schuylkill, were asked for." ently based upon information given by Public Safety Director Butler, that the Civil Service Commission has indulged in wholesale reinstatement of policemen dismissed under the Moore administration, and that it has made a practice of dealing leniently with policemen charged with intoxication, demand an. answer. "The statement is emphatically not true. Director Butler's assertion that the commission is influenced by political consideration is likewise false. Review Specific Cases "Of the thirty-seven cases complained of, eighteen Mere reinstatements ordered by the former Civil Service Commission.

These reinstatements were not recognized by Director Cortelyou pending an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, in the Goldberg ca6e, decided that the reinstatements were legal. The decision was not rendered until after the present administration came into office and these men were, therefore, reinstated automatically by the Supreme Court decision, on the basis of action of the former commission. The present commission had nothing to do with the reinstatement of these eighteen men. "In four other cases the present com Disparity In Figures Alleged Mn Duntao pointed also to a dis parity in the commission's figures concerning the Neshaminy-Yardley project sponsored by himself.

The men were first greeted by a large number of former buddies, and then by the official welcoming committee headed by the Mayor of Dallas, Louis Blaylock, and Charles Saville, manager of the Chamber of Commerce. As the men went through the lane of people, one young woman jumped in front of Lieutenant Lowell Smith, and kissed him, only to disappear immediately in the large crowd.

In one of these cases, where it was subse I notice that the commission fig quently learned that the policeman had ures otherwise, but I have heard a not continued his abstinence from liquor, the commission dismissed him from the Kaying about figures.

Hague, a Standard Oil Company official, was beaten" and robbed at her home at 158 E.

G3d street, late Monday night, made her first statement regardr ing the hold-up today. With the arrest of Joseph McMahon, 28, of 128 West Sixty-first street, the police gathered into their dragnet the third suspect within four days. The other two have been eliminated from suspicion in the crime. The modiste, returned to her home, which includes the atelier and workshop for showing and making of gowns for wealthy patrons, late Thursday night, and as she left her home to go driving she talked to newspapermen for a moment. She was very indignant, she said, at the stories which had appeared about her and her friendship with Mr.

Hague. She denied any one had paid her bills or had made her presents of diamonds and sapphire bracelets and necklaces which were among the jewelry stolen by four robbers Monday night. The police today sent out a list of the stolen jewelry. Story Breaks Down The first development in the case today -was the questioning by the police of David Gleason, 23, of 1274 St. Nicholas avenue, whose story that he had participated in the hold-up collapsed under the examination of the detectives.

He told them he had entered the Bobe establishment through a rear basement window. Police knew this was impossible as they are protected by strong iron bars, which have not been tampered with. Gleason, who was dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant of the army air service, when arrested on another charge, vtold the police Thursday night that he' had" participated in the holdup. He was arraigned in court today charged with, an attempt to defraud Eli Stroock, a uniform of 143 West Fortieth street, and was held in $5000 bail for September 22. 4 The police place more belief in the arrj? st of McMahon.

Marie Capers, negro maid, who also was beaten by the hold-up men, made partial identification of the prisoner in the West Side Court. McMahon wa held in $2500 bail by Magistrate Henry Goodman, and his case will go to the grand jury. He is charged with possessing burglars tools and bail was furnished for him by John Dumphy, a real estate broker, of 341 West Sixty-sixth street. McMahon was arrested on September 10 in company with Thomas Belford, 20, a "matinee burglar," according to the police, and at the time of the Bobe hold-up McMahon was out on bail. Could Not Swear to It When McMahon was arraigned Magistrate Goodman gave the negro maid several minutes in which to carefully scrutinize the prisoner.

The final report, presented by the Mayor to Council on Thursday, reaffirms the original findings of the commission, in recommending the Perkio-men-Tohickon-lower Delaware proposition at an estimated cost of $99,000,000.

Five alternative plans, including the Neshaminy-upper Delaware project, favored by Fred C. Dunlap, former chief of the Water Bureau, are rejected by the engineers as inferior to the sponsored scheme. Definite approval by Council of the $99,000,000 proposition would automatically commit the city to the entire estimated amount of the project, although the city's borrowing capacity, after the two loan bills are passed by the voters in November, will be little more than $8,000,000. Instead of commitment to the project as a whole, or to any other of the plans put frth by the commission, the Public Works Department will map out a series of steps for which individual ordinances will be presented to Council. The item of $5,000,000 for water supply improvement, placed in this year's Loan bill, will be set aside for some definite work, such as improvement of the Torresdale plant or construction of a reservoir, suggested by the city engineers.

Mayor Has Not Decided' Following a meeting with Charles I. Hall, president of Council, Mayor Ken-drick announced yesterday that a conference will be held in his office with members of Council next week, when the commission's recommendations will be dealt with. In the meantime, the Mayor has not decided on any water plan, he stated, but is carefully studying the entire report. Members of Council's Public Works Committee, to which the water report -was referred Thursday, indicated yesterday they will make a trip shortly to the Perkiomen-Tohickon watershed, and study at first hand the recommendations of the commission in respect to these streams. "There will be held a conference by members of "Council in my office next week," the Mayor stated, "and we shall attempt to formulate at that time, from data supplied by the Water Commission, the most adequate method of procedure.

"Speaking for myself, I do not know which is the most economical and feasible of the various projects suggested for consideration in the report. This is a very big problem, and I intend to study it most carefully before deciding on the merits of any of the suggested projects. Will Not Be Rushed "I wish it distinctly understood the city will not be rushed into any one of the six projects outlined by the engineers. I am going to devote the weekend to, consideration of the report, in order to familiarize myself with the data. "It is my belief the city has employed the best experts in water engineering in the country, and Council and myself are necessarily dependent to large degree on their opinions.

The water supply system is of such importance that the city must be protected from mistakes at the start. Asked whether he had read Mr. Dun-lap's criticism of the recommended plan as "nonsensical and wasteful," the Mayor stated that he had read it. "The people will decide, after all, what plan the city will follow," he said. "The water report is worthless if it will not stand up under Councilman Hall said he would engage in no controversies with anyone regarding the merits of any of the suggested projects.

"As far as I am concerned," he said, "the whole matter is in the hands of engineers. I am not an expert, and these men are. When Mayor Kendrlck employed these water commissioners, he told them he wanted the best solu-tion of the city's water problem. There were no other restrictions to their work, and their work is embodied in this report. "They are men with national reputations for expert, scientific knowledge of sources of water supply, and there is no reason why they should endanger their reputations by recommending inferior plans.

No one should haveany fears that Philadelphia will not have an adequate- and pure water supply," One of the first steps in carrying out any one of the projects placed before Council by the commission, it was learned yesterday, will be formation of an organization to carry out the recommendations and to have charge of all construction work.

"When the commission first held its hearings, the Director of Public Safety was personally present at the A hearings and in a number of cases where men were-charged with intoxication on duty, he personally requested that the officers be sent to him for discipline.

Our records show that he was exceptionally lenient, the disposition by the director having been to fine the officers loss tr pay during suspension. The commission fully agreed with him in the position he took in those cases.

A large number of cases have been tried by the Police Board of Investigation, appointed by Director Butler. These eases did not come before the commission and the punishment, meted out is not known to the commission.

"In the matter of intoxication of policemen, Director Butler has done in some instances exactly what he criticises the commission for doing. The commission has had one aim in view to keep foremost the integrity and development of the police department in Philadelphia, which is known and has so commented on by the director as one of the best police forces in the country. "It is their intention to maintain this standard to the extent of their power to do so, notwithstanding unwarranted criticisms." Police records show that the case referred to in Mr. Kreider's statement in whichDirector Butler sought the reinstatement of a policeman who had been fired for drunkenness, was that of Patrolman Anthony Zamattis; of the Seventh and Carpenter streets station, who got back his job after capturing, single handed, an armed slayer of a woman. In this reinstatement the Civil Service Commission concurred with Director Butler, the records show.

Director Butler repeated his charges yesterday that the Civil Service Commissioners were too lenient in dealing with offending policemen and that he was convinced they were influenced in their decisions by political "For that reason I decided to take the punishment of accused policemen before the minor trial board which is authorized by law to impose penalties, but which cannot" dismiss policemen," said Director Butler.
