SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS First Order for Solvent Salts Shipped Here in January, 1904 To THB Editob of ths Gi.obb-Dbmoob.it. NEW YORK. May 28. I have been greatly interested in reading the numer ous articles that have lately been anocar ing in the St. Louis papers relating to the matter as to whom credit shall given for the invention of the process now employed by the City of St.

Louis In the purification of Its water supply. It seems that a great deal of credit is being given Mr. Wlxford for bringing about tho tremendoussaving In cost a well as hu man life that, this process has made possible. There can be no doabt as to thij great saving and to the higher health efficiency attained. In this connection permit me to relate a little history whioh may prove inter esting.

For a number of years previous to 1902i I had been connected with the O. H. Jewell Filter Company, Chicago, 111., as vice president and treasurer, and had been giving the subject of filtration my entire time and attention. My company had been through a long and expensive lawsuit bearing directly on the question of coagulation. As a result of such litiga tion our concern spent a great deal of money as well as time In the study this question, and I became conversant with past and present practice.

In the latter part of April or early part of May. 1902, I was still experimenting and studying along this line, and finally tried an experiment, using sulphate of iron and caustic lime in an endeavor to produce a satisfactory coagulatton; much to my surprise, I succeeded, and after I had repeated the experiment several times I became convlncted that there was a possibility of success In following this up. Fortunately. I was the half owner of the waterworks system at Qulncy, a filter plant formed a part of this system. Two days after I had performed the experiment spoken" of, I proceeded to Qulncy and purchased all the available sulphate of iron to be found In the city.

securing nearly a barrel of it. Experiments at Qulncy Plant. Previous to this time the Qulncy plant had been using a process closely analog ous to that which my experiments seemed to prove feasible. This consisted of burni lng roll sulphur or in a specially constructed furnace, conducting the gases formed by such combustion to a washing chamber, where they were absorbed by water, forming an acid solution of sulphur dioxide and a small pro portion of other gases. This acid solu tion was then run Into wooden vats leaded with scrap iron and allowed to stand until the acid had attacked the iron and formed a chemical solution contain ing sulphites and sulphates of iron.

This solution was then applied to the water from the liver and pumped into the aetr tling basins forming a part of the filter plant of the Qulncy waterworks. A certain amount of caustic lime was also applied to the water on Its way to the settling basins. The mixture of the acid sulphite solution, oaustio lime and river water produced a fine coagulation, and the water in Its passage through the settling basins was by this process deprived of the larger part of its mud and sediment, and passed from the settling basins to the filter beds In a much clearer and purer condition that it would otherwise nave been. In adapting my new discovery to prac tical use all that was necessary was to cut out the use of the acid solution refer red to and substitute a solution of sul phate of iron which Involved little time and practically no expense. The results were Instantaneously successful, so far as I could judge with the small amount of sulphate of Iron at' my disposal.

I Immediately proceeded to Chicago, informed my company of the results and began seeking a supply of sulphate of iron. visited the offices of the American Steel and Wire Company, May 26, 1902; met Mr. A. T. Weaver, a sales agent of that concern, and purchased jten barrels of sulphate of iron for Immediate shipment to Qulncy and we began using this In May, 1902.

Mr. Weaver took a keen Interest In the work we were doing, as it appeared to offer a field for the use of a large amount of sulphate of Iron, of which his company had a large tonnage and only a small market. From that time to the present Qulncy has continued to use this process. Mr. Weaver finally entered Into an agreement with me, whereby Mr.

E. E. Irons, a chemist and bacteriologist, was sent to Quincy at the expense of the American Steel and Wire Company to conduct an investigation, and make a re port on the process we were using. A copy of this report is inclosed herewith, and will bear out these statements. This re port clearly antedates the St.

The Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy Railroad had an agreement with the Qulncy waterworks where by we agreed to furnish' them with a soft water for use in their Carbonates of lime and magnesia render a water hard and unde sirable for use in boilers. The rver water at Quincy contained enough of these arbonates to render Its use objectionable for the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad, and It was essential that we should remove as much as was possible of these objectionable compounds from the water they were to use. As we had no means of furnishing them with one quality of water and the city with another and as we desired their business, we had for some time previous to this, been soft- Continued on Third Page.

WASHINGTON, May 30. Senator La Follstte, speaking on the currency bill, has exceeded all senatorial records for continuous oratory, passing the mark set by Senator Allen of Nebraska on October 9, 1883, in the silver Senator Stone appeared In the Senate chamber at 3:48 this morning accompanied by Mr. Holllster, his private secretary, who was carrying a mats of books, papers and documents as material for the senator's speech. the Missouri senator had been roused out of his sleep by one of the assistants of the aer-geant-at-arms. Policeman Sent After Stone.

During the skirmish for a quorum the Senate leaders under an order previously adopted directing the sergeant-at-arms to bring in the absentees. decided1 to compel the attendance of Mr. Stone, who is Blated to relieve Mr. La Follette under the tatter's programme. A policeman was started for the Raleigh Hotel at 3:16 o'clock this (Saturday) morning to arrest him.

On leaving the Capitol Senator Stone said he had talked with Senator La Fol lette and had the assurance of the Wis consin senator that he expected to retain the floor until daylight. I "Thp senator assured me." said Sen ator Stone, "that there was no reason why I should not get my rest, so I said I would go to the hotel. It Is my lnten tlon to rise about 6 o'clock in the morn- ino- nil be on hand to make my speech There Is no question that the impres sion was general when Senator Stone nicked up his books and papers ana iett the chamber that he had decided not to nartlciData in the filibuster.

This Bena tnt atone denied positively. He says he will sneak in the morning. When asked what would happen if La Follette gave out in the night while he (Stone) was asleep, the Missouri senatbr answered: "I guess they would pass the bill, but I have no Idea he is going to play out." At 2 o'clock this morning Miss La Fol lette, daughter of the senator, and a woman friend occupied the senators' private gallery. There are about twelve senators of both parties on the floor, and perhaps a score of male spectators scat' tared about the galleries. On October 9, 1893.

Senator Allen of Nebraska In the silver debate spoke for more than fourteen hours continuously. At 2 o'clock Mr. La Follette had almost equaled this record, and the indications are that he will exceed it several hours Shortly after 2 o'clock Mr. Culberson rallfxi attention to the absence of a quorum. Mr.

Aldrich insisted that if Mr. Culberson took the floor he would displace the senator from Wisconsin. Mr. Culberson's purpose was merely to read the i Congressional Record of March 3, when repeated roll calls were ordered with no business intervening. Mr! La Follette read the' entire Record, showing the precedent of repeated roll calls.

At 2J0 a. m. Senator La Follette Insisted on a roll call off his point of no auorum. The chair sustained his previous rule that the call under the rule could not be ordered, and from that decision Mr. La Follette appealed.

Mr. Aldrich was prompt to move to lay the motion on he table. A number of Democrats refused to vote, and Mr. Aid-rich insisted that they should be required to do so. The vote disclosed several short of a quorum, and absentees were notified at 3 o'clock this (Saturday morning no quo.

The determination of Senator Stone of Missouri to participate in, tho La. Follette filibuster was not generally known about the Capitol until 6 o'clock this evening. He was the one doubtful equation on the Democratic other than Senator Gore and possibly Senator' Jeff Davis. At 6 o'clock the Missouri senator entered chamber for the first time, carrying a great mass of documents. He was Interviewed by his colleagues and by Republican senators, and maiie clear his intention fo Join in the filibuster.

Various reasons are -assigned for the action of Senator Stone. It is said he is angry at the minority for deciding not to oppose the legislation, and because he was called half way across: the country, only to find that there was no Democratic fight on.

Folk expected much aid from. Senator La Follette. They are much the same type of men and both came into prominence and political jobs on the crcat of the reform' wave of a. few years ago. La Follette, it is said, was slated tor speeches in aid of Folk, and presumably in denunciation of Senator Stone, after his usual style, when on the Chautauqua circuit, Now Senator Stone has made tn al liance with Senator' La Follette which he supposes will protect him from La Follette's attacks and -rob Folk of an Another story Is to the effect that Senator Stone was Induced to go into the fight on a suggestion from William Jennings Bryan.

He appeared at the Senate about 6 o'clock. As he was entering the chamber he was asked as to his Intentions to Join the -La Follette filibuster and. said: "No, indeed. I am not Koing to Join a filibuster. I am not going to Join any thing or-anybody.

Werner was held up in fiis home. 1911 Virginia avenue, yesterday evening by two men wha took five dla mond rings valued at $6000 and ran out of the house, down Oeyer avenue and escaped. The robbery had been carefully planned. Last Sunday Dr. Werner saw an adver tisement which stated that some large diamonds were wanted.

He had five set stones in a safe deposit vault and decided that this might be a good chance to dls pose of them. Monday he sent a postal card in answer to the advertisement and Tuesday he received a telephone" message that the prospective purchasers would call that evening to see the gems. They did not. come and the following day the doctor had another' telephone message from the diamond buyers. In-which they told him that they were In.

"I'll take this one," said one of the men, picking up a 2-carat atone, "and you take this one," pointing to one that weighed 1 carats. "No," said his companion, "I want that big one myself. You give me that one and pick out one of the others for yourself." "That big one looks good to me," said the first man, evidently reluctant to give up the biggest diamond la the lot.

Then they turned east. and a half block further one of them dodged into an alley between Compton and Virginia and turned while the other -oontlnued down Geyer. Most of those who saw the men run ning away were women and children and there was no one to interrupt their flight.

Peter J. Waldron. foreman of the me chanlcal department of the United Rail ways Company, reported to the police late last night that his three children, two girls and a boy. had disappeared after leaving his home at 4022 Russell avenue yesterday morning, and he has cause to believe that they were kidnaped.

BIG OPERATIONS IN CORN. Patten Gets $1,500,000, Bartlett $1,000,000 and Armour-Peavey Over $200,000. Special Dispatch ro ths Gloek-Demochat. CHICAGO, May 29. Not in the history of the Board of Trade have three deals been made in grain for May delivery and successfully pulled off.

There have been many May deals in wheat, corn or oats, but never three at one. time or three like those that closed to-day, as they have been- the most successful ever run. Patten's profits on" corn are 11,000,000 and on oats $500,000. There Is the best of information for this statement. W.

H. Bartlett has profits of $1,000,000 on corn. The Armour-Peavey interest, which has run a little squeeze In May wheat, has cleaned up $200,000. Patten has paid for 6,000,000 bushels of corn and over 0,000, 000 bushels of oats, and sold 75 per cent of his corn and 60 per cent of his oats. In all, he has paid for over 15,000.000 bushels of corn and oats this month, pay ing out over $7,000,000.

At the beginning of the month he had $4,000,000 In the bank, and has been able to carry on his deal without borrowing any money. Great Profit in Corn. The corn operations have been the most successful ever run in that cereal, al though there have been others of larger proportions, but none have made a profit like the present, nearly 30 cents a bushel being secured on part of the holdings and 25 cents 8n over 4,000,000 bushels. The ggregate holdings of corn at their largest was 12,000,000 bushels between Patten and Bartlett. and of oats Patten -alone had 12.000,000 bushels bought for May.

Over 6,000.000 bushels been sold at a profit of 10 cents, so that the corpse is not a large one In either corn or oats. There have been settlements of large pro portions, particularly in corn, and a few in oats, but most of the oats have been delivered by the sellers, who are Armour and the other elevator interests. The oats cost on an average about' 44 cents, so that there is a profit in merchandising them even at lower prices than the present market. Patten has been selling oats at 1 to .1 cents under the May price delivered in Buffalo, and in the past two days has sold over 1,000,000 bushels for shipment, selling 50,000 bushels to Memphia Sales Made at Discount. The sales of corn at all times have been at a discount of to 4 cents under the May, and of late the discpunt was greater.

In closing up trades to-day the average price for the day was made at the finish, the high and the low point being" 8214 cents and 77 cents, with the finish at 80 cents. The line of corn cost the bull leaders about 56 cents, a large part being bought below 53 cents. All of the trades were closed up" on wheat and oats to-day, but In corn there were defaults of 135,000 bushels, mostly through clerical errors, and the trades. with the exception of 50,000 bushels, were 35 justed after the Deliveries after the close were 1,250,000 bushelsj wheat, mostly by Bartlett-Fra-sier, and-paid for by Armour, making continental route to the Pacific Coast under one control.
