St. Helena is A beautiful pince, myself wouldn't mind it it to live there." "When we finally came to the English Channel," young Casey continued, "and Were crawling through the mine fields, we suddenly heard a terrific explosion, and saw steamer ot the Wilson Line, less than a hundred yards from us, rear up Into the air and come down again with almost her entire bow torn away. She had struck one of the mines and it's a wonder she didn't sink outright. The channel was full of the mines, and British trawlers were teaming busily up and down picking them up in their nets as if they were no more harmless than crabs or fish One of the mines exploded when the drag chain struck it and raised a water spout 200 feet bigh, but DO one was burt." The Caseys arrived safely In England despite the mines in the channel, and from there sailed on the Lapland for Brooklyn. There were 199 first, 246 second and 356 third class passengers on the Lap.

LOSES; CITY SAVES MILLIONS Appellate Division Decides That Urban Supply Concern Has No Franchise From State. A Corporation Counsel Frank L. Polk has just secured a notable victory for the- city, in a decision handed down by the Appellate Division, in Brooklyn, in the litigation involving the construetion and effect of the emergency contracts made by the city officials with the local water supply compantes for partial supplies of water for different sections of the Borough of Queens. The Urban Water Supply Company which has its source of supply in the old town of Newtown obtained one ot these contracts during the administration of Mayor Gaynor, and secretly filed an amended certificate of Incorporation reciting such contract and giving the City of New York as the additional territory in which it claimed the franchise power and duty, by virtue of said contract, to go Into the business of supplying water to the entire city. After the expiration of its contract last year it made various attempts to secure a renewal of the municipal patronage, but, tailing In tbis, It sought to compel Borough President Connolly, by mandamus, to issue permits to it to lay its water mains in Long Island City for the purpose of supplying the inhabitants with water, claiming it had secured a franchise to do so from the State by filing the amended certificate based upon Its said contract.

The matter WILS argued in the Supreme Court before Judge Van Siclen, who decided that the company had secured no such franchise, and dented Its motion for a mandamus. On peal the Appellate Division has just sustained Judge Van Sielen and held that the contract in question conferred franchise whatever upon the water no supply company, and that it was not the general and efficient contract provided for In the statute which alone could be made the legal foundation for of an amended certificate of the tiling incorporation and thereby obtaining additional franchise rights to supply water to the inhabitants of conthe tracting municipality. The questions decided In this case the meaning and effect of all tho affect similar contracts made with the many local water supply companies for an emergency supply of water to supplethe city's own supply. No one ment of them can now claim 8 franchise right over the whole of the power Greater or City, and the administration this victory, saved many milhas, in lions of dollars which would have had to be paid to condemn the claimed additional franchises. Had the contentions of Mr.

Polk not been upheld in the courts, the city would have had private water supply companies with it claim- in Ing the right to compete furnishing water to its inhabitants.
