the Russian advance would develop a superior

the payments be made at the rate Of S1o-

POLITICAL PRISONERS
IN POLAND

BERLIN, July 27.-Most revolving
reports are published here of the i'll
treatment of political prisoners in
Kalisch. Russian Poland, during dis
turbances caused by the prisoners
complaining of insufficient food.
After being fortified by drink, 270
soldiers, headed by a dozen officers,
entered the cells and attacked the
prisoners. Some of them had their
ribs broken by the soldiers, and
others their arms and legs. One SOL
dier cracked a prisoners arm over
his knee as though it were a piece of
wood; other prisoners lay on the
ground pierced with bayonets. Some
had their eyes knocked out, and some
were strung up to beams, bound hand
and foot. and cudgelled. Seventy pris-
oners were conveyed to the hospital,
where they tore off their bandages
and refused to permit the doctors to
treat them.

SHAW WAS DRUNK

The case of Walter Shaw, charged
with burglary. was called before
Judge Hinkle. The evidence was in
sufficient to hold the prisoner, but
Prosecuting Attorney Kimball asked
for another day to hunt new evidence
He stated that, although the evidence
as submitted by the defense seemed
to show that the man was drunk.
he thought it was case of burglary.
Shaw is the man who was found in
bed Sunday morning at the residence
of f. Lewis Clark. He stated this
afternoon that he did not know how
he came to be in the house as he was
drunk. The two women who have
been taking care of the house during
the absence of the Clarks stated that
a trunk and one of the bureau draw
ers had been searched but nothing
taken.

.fAy0R5 A RESERVOIR

At a meeting of a Joint coffimfttee
from the chamber of commerce and
the Taxpayers league yesterday af-
ternoon in the rooms of the cham
Der Of commerce definite action was
taken in regard to the water ques-
ton. The committee passed a resO-
luton favoring the building Of 49,
900, O00-gallon reservoir on the hill
near Ninth and Division streets. The
reservoir as recommended is to be
divided into three compartments,
which will give a reserve of 10000
900 gallons at all times and that if
the reservoir was built the insurance
rates now existing would be reduced
20 per cent The plans of Engineer
Gill were discussed. The committee
felt that a 9,O0O,OO0-gallon reservoir
would be too small, as there would
be less than 100000 gallons as a
reserve when one of the reservoirs
was being cleaned. According to
Gill's estimate the $4,000, gallon
reservoir could be built for $141,330.
The committee felt that there
would be OPPOSITION to the reservoir
from people living on higher levels.
The bonds would have to be voted
for by the entire city. In order to
gain the support of the North Side
