Of wire per year Is specified. as outlined
before.
81 have recommended to the council the
Inauguration of system for placing all
wires in the business section underground
by municipal construction and operation
OF conduits.'' said Mr. Thomson yester-
day. MY idea Is to make the first prac-
tical demonstration of the plan with the
conduit of Second avenue, and then grad
ually to extend the system to all paved
streets, making new extensions whenever
further paving is done.
The present custom OF placing wires
underground. now In use IN other cities,
and proposed for Seatties adoption. Is
that OF assembling number of WIRES
ranging from 200 to 800, according to the
diameter OF the wires and the purposes
for whichthey are intended. into a cable
These cables are placed within the under
ground conduits. The latter are made of
several different materials, the two most
popular being vitrified clay and iron pipe
lined with cement. Ordinarily those OF
clay are made in short sections. say 8
feet In length. which are nodded square
and are divided into four round ducts or
tubes. These are called four-duct con-
Quits. The compartments are SIs inches
in diameter. The cables are drawn
through the tubes. each cable occupying
ono compartment.
"A conduit system along q street will
range from four to fifty or sixty, or what
ever number OF ducts Is considered nee
essary to accommodate the wires In that
particular part OF the street. Along Sec
the conduit system first, twenty ducts will
probably be sufficient at even the bust
my plan is for the city TO build the
conduit system and pay for 1t out Of the
general funds. 1t will then be operated

REPUTATION OF FALSEHOOD
Fabrication of Fusion Paper Com
cerninK John ii. McGrnw Dis
proven by stat m ent Of FNcts.

While admitting that the majority OF
the misstatements and misrepresentation
IN which the fusion press is already be-
ginning to indulge will fall of their own
weight. making RECITATION and correction
unnecessary. the friends of Hon. John IA.
Mctiraw and Republicans generally believe
that the falsehoods published in the Sc
attic Times directed against the former
governor should be shown up by a state
ment of facts.
In the course OF a long fabrication in
last evenings issue OF that paper the fol-
lowing statements occur:
"on the day Of the Republican pri-
marios he Sheriff Van DE VanteD APP
pointed eighty special deputy sheriffs to
intimidate the voters The first man on
this list OF deputy sherifrs was John III.

put a revolver In his pocket. and aided

take personal hand In It TO see that
the Job was well done.
.McGraws own friends have severely
criticised him for his attitude on the
day OF the primaries Many have said
that his wearing star and carrying
gun was utterly beneath his dignity:
but McGraw was taking no chances on
losing the battle for Frink'
The facts are that AZ the time mentioned
Sheriff Van De Vanter selected q list OF
gentlemen. among them Mr.. Mct3raw. to
act as deputies for the maintenance Of
order az the polls. This was done with
ont consultation with the gentlemen
named who. OF course. could not become
officers without properly qualifying under
cath as required hy law.
The records at the court house show
that Mr.. Mc3raw was not among these
who qualified for service. On the day of
the primaries AIR NcGraw remained IN
his own precinct. the Fifth of the Fourth
ward. There was no contest In this pre-
cinct. the friends or Mr. Frink having

G0RMAN RULES.
Maryland SilveritsS Get Cold Comfort at

The Maryland State Democratic Conven-

failed to realtlrm the Chicago platform.
The silver people had anticipated controll-

Senator German ana the state machine.
Contrary TO expectation, the convention
was slimly attended. there being scarcely any
seats occupied outside those filed by dele
gates.
Mr.. Gorman did not attend the convention,
being satisfied his instructions would be car
ried out. He only consented to Bryan's can
didacy being endorsed as a sop to the county

diver OF the state committee, called the cor
vention to order and Colonel l.. Victor

and the defeat OF the silverites was untc!-

Murry Vandiver and A. Leo Knott-went
through. The latter is the only pronounced
silver advocate.
