ed at shooting. This Hunter denied,
saying that all he did was TO ask for a

the whip.
Jules Mongeon was witness to the
transaction, although he said he was

what was said. All he saw the soldier
do was to take hold OF the whip stock.
Another soldier testified to the same
fact and after the evidence was com

TAMBOV, July 12.-Both squadrons
of the Seventh cavalry which mutinied
here and held the barracks have sur
rendered their arms and expressed
contritlon for their conduct. The mu-
tiny was regarded by the Russian au-
thorities as probably the most serious
affair of the kind since the Sevastopol
mutiny as much from the fact that II
was the first outbreak of insubordina-
ton in the cavalry arm of the service
as because of the bold defiance of au-
thority on the part of the soldiers
After killing an infantry officer and n
dragoon who were among the loyal
troops that had opposed them the mu-
tlnous cavalrymen barrlcaded them
selves in their barracks where. until

Sewage Disposal"
The speaker said that all sewage
should go TO the sea. This he said
was an easy matter for coast cities but
that for inland cities IL was a difficult
proposition. In the disposal he said
two points should be considered, the
first being the nuisance question and
the second, the question OF public
health. He said that a disagreeable
odor made a nuisance, but the fact
that there was not an odor did not in
dictate that there might not be men
ace TO public health. He said that il
was as dangerous for city to put its
sewage into lake and then take the
water for drinking purposes without
alteration as it was for person to
jump backward off moving car. Ac-
cordIng TO his opinion there was only
one thing worse for a city to do than 10
put its sewage into the water 1t was go.
ing to drink and that was to put 1t in
to the water some one else had TO
drink.
This disposal OF the sludge was one
of the points brought out by Mr. Whip
pie and he told OF the methods used In
different places. He said In some in
stances II was used for fertilizer The
first year it was u.ed on land the farm
ers were glad to get it, the next year
they were not as anxious and the third
year they wanted pay to take it away.
