SAYS HE IS BROKE John Burke Offers to Help Probe of Broker's Crash New York, July dejected and "broke," John Burke, once of the United States and thrice governor of North Dakota, walked into District Attorney Banton's office today to offer the authorities what help he could in the grand jury investigation of the brokerage firm of Kardos and Burke which failed eighteen months ago for more than $2,000,000.

Mr. Burke said he is ready to waive immunity and tell the grand jury everything he knows about the operations of the firm. 'I give you my word as a that the first intimation I had of what was going on was when the bankruptcy petition was filed," he said. "I think that is your trouble," cut in one of the assistant district attorneys. "I don't think you even knew you were alive in that outfit," "Upon my word, you are right," responded the man whose name once appeared on millions of currency of the United States.

"I feel this thing. It's got me licked--broken. I never, thought-it possible.

He said he has nisisted on a clause in the partnership agreement stipulating that the firm would not engage in specu- ation. He believed this agreement was being lived up to, he said.

Sons. Boehner 8-3 though it has had a bad odor an straw-like taste the past week, is per feetfully healthy for use, Dr C. Fryer, county health officer said thi morning following tests of the wate in the College labratory. During th past week there has been consider able odor and taste to the water bu the supply uptown from the maim this morning showed the odor and taste to be praritically gone. The ariated condition of the water, caus ed by air from the pumps going into the mains, was also abfsent this morning.

The source of the odor and straw- like taste in the city water was discovered Saturday morning by Mayor W. O. Garrett and J. W. Quails, city engineer, when they were investigating the lime vat in the filter.

The regular supply of hydrate lime that had been used in the filters about last Tuesday and an inferior grade of limp, the only available, had to be used until the new shipment arrived Saturday- It was very evident that the odor from the lime vat was the' same as is found in the water from the mains uptown. Most all of the mains have been flushed and cleaned during the past week, which always disturbs the water supply for a time. But with the water in good condition at the pump station, the mains must be clean in order to get good water to the consumer uptown. A sample of the water was taken from the filter at the pump house Saturday after it had been flushed and it was found to be as clear and sweet as could be desired.
