Cleveland, Aug. 22.-(Spl)-Mayor
johnson yesterday telegraphed George
II. Benzenberg, of Milwaukee, an eX-
pert in tunnel work, to come to Cleve-
land. If necessary the Mayor will
personally bear the expense incurred
Shailer Il Schniglau, who have the
tunnel contract here, had similar
contract in Milwaukee. The work
could not be done, they said. They
proved in court that this was so. Ben
zenberg took the contract and fulfilled
it.
Il don't understand tunnel work."
said the Mayor, Wednesday, "and
am not satisfied that the contractors
or our own engineers do. For that
reason l want to get the best advice
that can be had ON the subject"
Mayor Johnson was among the first
of the city officials to be informed of
the accident. He at once left his
Euclid ave. home and hurried to the
foot of Superior St, where he boarded
tireboat and was taken to the crib.
He reached the City Hall on his re-
turn at 10 o'clock and at once sent
for Assistant Law Director Babcock.
when is this going to end?" ex-
claimed the Mayor. Are we going to
kill all the people in Cleveland before
this tunnel is completedY'
Then the Mayor explained the acci-
dent as he was able to learn it from
the two survivors and the other men
on the crib.
Things are in a slovenly condition
at the crib" he continued. "These con.
tractors are going about this work like
a couple of inexperienced well dig
gers. They absolutely will not spend
the necessary money to properly pro-
vide for protection to the men. There
ought to be laboratory and scientific
men at the cribs to test the gas SO
that its quality might be known ev-
cry minute. AS it is now they bottle
a sample of gas and bring it into the
city to be tested and the result Is prob
ably carried back to the crib in a
week or so.
when the gas and air are in GER
tain proportions in the tunnel and shaft
the gas is harmless. If the gas reach
es a certain proportion greater or less
it is dangerous. That is why the quail
ity and quantity of the gas should be
known every minute SO that when 1t
reaches a certain point work could be
stopped until there was either more
or less gas in the tunnel. This work
absolutely cannot go on in the manner
it has. 1t must be conducted on scien-
tific principles. / am thankful that
L WCnl W IhC CilD tilS dS
got lot of information and some new
IDEAS"
1t would not be at all surprising il
the city took the work away from
Shailer & Schniglau and completed
the tunnel itself. Whether that can
be done without the contractors ac
quiescence, the law department may
be called upon to decide. 1t is possible
that it could be done on the ground that
the contractors are crlminally negli.
gent and incompetent. A few days
ago Shailer begged the Mayor to re-
lease him and his partner and have

RESIGNED.
Company L Is About to Lose Her
Captain.

The. resignation of Captain g. Fl.
Mueller, commander of Company L, of
Gallon has been sent to the Adjutant
General. This is one of the new com
panies of the Eighth Regiment, was
formed after the war and the men
have been quick to pick up a know
ledge of military affairs. The news of
Captain Mueller's resignation is re-
ceived with surprise by the Akron
officers of the regiment.

the city complete the tunnel. He may
have a chance to show whether or not
he was blutfing.
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Gen. Meyer, representing Shailer &
Schniglau, the sub-contractors, called
on Mayor Johnson, but he was not pre-
pared to give any definite answer as
to what the contractors proposed to
do. He said he would not be in a po-
sition to come to( any agreement un-
Til this morning.
"All right" said the Mayor, but l
do not propose that any time shall be
lost either in prosecuting the work or
providing protection for the men. You
peple have failed to do what is neces-
sary and the city will do it and charge
the cost to you. Tomorrow Diver Met
calf and force of men will start re-
building the superstructure at Grip No.
B, and the cost will be deducted from
what is owing to the contractors, or
will be owing to them when the tun-
mel is completed. All fire fighting ap.
paratus and other appliances for sa-
wing lives will be furnished by the
city at once, you people having failed
to supply them on our order, and the
cost will be charged against you. If
the damages at Crib No. 3 are not re-
paired at once the city will also dc
that work at the contractors expense
The Mayor later issued an order to
Director of Fire Lapp to detail fire
man, whose sole duty should be to
visit the various cribs every day and
test the fire apparatus, and keep them
in good order. Lapp was also ordered
to see that boats and life preservers
which had been tested, were at once
supplied all the cribs.
| The contract for the tunnel was orig
inally let to w. j. Gawne. He sub
let that part of the work extending
from crib No. 1 to crib No. 3 to Shailer
g. Schnigiau of Chicago. Gawne's con-
tract price was SIS per foot. 1t is
said that the part of the work sub-let
was at lower figure.
whether Shailer & Schniglau get
enough money out of the contract to
enable them to properly do the work
and protect the men, cannot say"
remarked the Mayor yesterday, 'but
/ do know that they are going about
il as though they are losing money all
the time. The man who drew the con-
tract for the city was either mighty
ignorant or mighty careless, for he
! didn't safeguard the men at all. If the
contract were as well drawn as one
of our ordinary sewer contracts, the
city could step in and take the work
away from the contractors, using their
tools and everything. There does not
appear to be any clause in this one
whereby we can take the work from
the contractors, though there is one
which says that If the contractors do
not do certain things the city can do
them and charge the cost up to the
contractors. 1t Is under this clause
that we are now proceeding. The
contractors say we have no right to
do it, but we are doing it anyway, and
it can be fought out in court, later,
