SPEED OF DRAINAGE CANAL
TESTED WITH TIN FLOATS.
Record Made OF Chicago's Sewage
Flow for Information of Court In
st. Louis Injunction Case.

Professor Van Ornum of Washington
University has been conducting series OF
experiments the last two weeks to ascer-
tain the speed Of the current in which the
sewage of Chicago reaches the intake
tower of the ST. Louis water supply.
He will present the results Of his expert
ments as expert testimony before Frank
s. Bright. Special Commissioner Of the
United States Supreme Court. who ts hear.
ing evidence in the case Of Missouri
against Illinois and the Sanitary District Of
Chicago. involving the Chicago Drainage
Canal
The Investigation was made secretly and
took two weeks time. 1t was carried on
by Professor Van Ornum and corps OF
assistants. Owing to the length OF the
tain places. it would have taken too long
for one engineer to have made the tests
alone. SO the work was apportoned into
four sections.
Section l was from Chicago to Peoria:
section 2, Peoria to Naples: section 3.
Naples to Grafton: section 4. Grafton to
the Chain of Rocks. Tin floats were em-
ployed in timing the current. These were
numbered and placed in the stream and
followed by the engineers in skins. In all
sixteen floats were used.
As yet the results Of the experiments
have not been made public. It was stated
Yesterday that as this is part of the EVIL
dence in the case 1t would not be proper
to give 1t out at this time. Several Wit
nesses are to be examined before PROBES,
sor Van OrEum is called. The hearing will
be resumed at the Southern Hotel to-mor-
row. The first witness on the stand Will
be City Chemist TeicEmann, who will be
cross-examined by the defense.

UNFAITHFUL WOMAN

In order to visit her. He arrived
home last Sunday and a few min.
utes after entering his house the
unfalthful and wayward spouse
disappeared, and has not been heard
of since. The wronged husband
was not aware of his wife's disgrace
full actions until informed by kind
friends and neighbors.
The heart-broken father left the
city this morning with his Children
to seek home for them. and W Il
do all In his power to raise than
properly. 1t Is said that there Is
more than one individual i'm plicat-
ed In the destruction of this once
happy home. A woman who will
deliberately and willfully leave her
ofsprings,is far worse than an ordt-
nary brute, to say nothing OF the
crime committed by the thirst for
lewdness. If there Is such a place
as Hades, this stripe of women
should be given free transportation
to 1t ere their natural life s"snufed

The disgraceful actions of a wo'
man, who until recently was a resi-
dent of the South Side, has been
the sole topic of conversation
among the citizens In that part OF
the city for many months. The
woman in question disappeared
from the city a few days ago, leav'
Ing three bright and pretty little
girls, whose ages range two.and'a-
half to six years respectively.
The husband has been located In
the Kansas oil field for couple OF
months, and Is an industrious
and honorable man. He
received a letter some ten days age
from his wife, stating that she was
In very poor health and that she
would like to 60 to Cambridge
Springs, Pa, for a few weeks
Naturally the husband was at once
alarmed about his wife's Illness and
Immediately arranged his bushes:

THE CORNER LOAFER

Women naturally shrink from the
annoyance that a lot of corner loaf
ers give them, and are disturbed
beyond measure by the impudence
and coarseness of the gangs. Any
body Is entitled to full protection,
but If there Is to be any difference
In the degree Of safety 1t should
always be accorded the women.
The man who Is brutal enough to
stand on the corner and stare at
women as they pass Is the kind Of
a fellow that can easily be dispensed
with. If he will not stop his offer-
dve practices a few nights In the
city bastiIe may help him to mend
his ways. The good work should
not stop until reform has been
effected throughout the city.
A gang of half grown boys have
been In the habit of congregahng
every Sunday evening near Krug's
meat market and their actions have
been of great annoyance to resi-
dents In that portion Of the city.
The reason the police have not sup
pressed them ere this, Is that they
keep a sharp lookout for the officers
and when one Of them appears In
sight their rowdish actions cease.
However, the cops have them
spotted, and their unbecoming con.
duct will not be tolerated hereafter

THE KINDLEBERGERS DE.
FEATED in A GOOD GAME

menced In the first inning. The
first three men walked. Clintworth
sent a hot one to Wilson, who
fumbled 1t, and Taylor crossed the
plate. Bero walked, Adamson was
forced In by Bero's base on balls.
Saladine then sent another good
one to Wilson who threw wild,
sending Outcalt and Cliutworth
both across the home plate. Four
runs.
1t was duplicated in the second.
Taylor hit, stole secondhand how
that man can run! Adamson sent
hot one to McCombs who threw
1t clear over the head of Crosby
and nearly into the bleachers'
Taylor came home on that
throw and, Adamson nestled
on second when the ball was
found. Outcalt brought him
home with a good single. Clintworth
found a curve that.ssuited him, sent
1t out for two bases, scoring the
captain. Abrams famed the at.
mosphere, but Bero sent some good
news to his home town by swiping
out one which no one could reach,
scoring Clintworth. Saladine went
out to McCombs and Castle did the
same act Kinchelo to Crosby, and
four more great big ones went up
Oh the blackboard. The game was
won, and the rest was easy. And
from that to the end 1t was good
game of ball on both sides.
We got another one In the
seventh on hits by Clintworth and
Bero and a neat sacrifice by
Abrams and 1t Is an encouraging
and noticeable feature on our side
that that the boys are commencing
to bunt successfully.
In the ninth we got two more
we should not have it-but the lads
from the great oil city felt like
playing ball yesterday, and could
scarcely help 1t. Clintworth
started the ball with his second two
base hit, and 1t was a peach.
Abrams promptly brought him
home with a single. Took second
on Donavan's attempt to catch
Cllntworth at the home plate, stole
third, and was brought In by Cas-
ties neat single over second.
Sweeney followed with a long hit
into Donavan's territory, which
gentleman threw Castle out at third,
ending the game.
The score:

There will doubtless be many

dent befell the Bedford Tuesday.

base ball. It has two or three clubs
composed of boys who make their
living In other ways and play ball
for fun. And some of them are
good players too, easily worthy OF
positions on some of the best semi
professional clubs In the country
We have had several of these
teams play here, but the Kindle'
bergers always seemed to be the
favorltes. They were here last
year during the early part OF the
season, and were one of the clubs
selected to play during carnival
week. They are gentlemen as well
as ball players, and although they
are scarcely In the same class as
the local team. they put up a good
quality of uphill ball. There are
several teams that will lower their
color to Donavan and his associates.
They had young man by the
name of Hill In the box. He had
not pitched for some time, and per.
mitted the first three men In the
first inning to walk. In the sec.
ond he allowed four of the local
sluggers to find him for safe hits.
Then he settled down, and but two
small hits were made offhis delivery
until the ninth when he was
touched up for four more as part
Ing salute. Hill would make a
pitcher had he the opportunity for
training and practice.
Patrick Sweeney did the twirling
for the home team, and right we'll
did he do II. Not more than one
hit was made of his delivery In any
one inning, and only FIVE all told.
As usual he fielded his position
q la Mathewson.
Clintworth was In the game all
the time. He seemed to have 1t In
for somebody. Four runs, three
hits, eight put.outs and one assist
Is glory enough for one man In any
game, and that was Williams record
yesterday.
All the boys played fast ball, the
two errors counted against them
being to a large extent excusable.
The Kindleberge1s got their two
little runs In the first two innings.
In the first, after Kinchelo and Nau
had both died at Outcalt's position,
McCombs sent a hot one to Adam
son, who let 1t get through. He
went to second on Do1van's base
on balls, and trotted home on John
sons neat single.
In the second, after CROSBY had
died, Adamson to Outcalt, one Viii.
son, a pleasant looking young man
from the the Nail City, swiped a
good one away over the left field
pickets, and trotted easily around
the circuit. while the crowd always
impartial, yelled their approval.
That ended the run getting for
the Kindlebergers. That home
run made Patrick red behind the
ears, and he allowed them but three
small hits during the rest of the
game.
