REQUEST THAT HIS PERSONAL
AFFAIRS ARE IN NEED OF At
TENTION.

Berlin, Oct. 5.-Ambassador Tower
has written President Roosevelt ask
ing that he be permitted to retire from
the diplomatic service next spring.
Mr.. Towers reasons are understood
to be that, having been abroad for
nearly eleven years, he desires again
to live in his own country in order to
have a home there for his sons, who
are now nearly ready to go to Harv-
ard university and to give his person
al attention to his extensive financial,
mining and railroad interests that
have been left to the supervision of
others during his long absence.
AS the lease on Mr. Towers home
in Berlin does not expire until some
time next spring, it is presumed that
he will remain as ambassador until
after that time. Mr.. and Mrs. Tower
and two young daughters are at pres
ent In Baden-Baden. They intend to
return here at the end of this month.

TUNNEL LEAKS AGAIN
TUBES WILL HAVE TO BE
PUT IN TO STOP WATER.
More Trouble with the Passage Con.
Meeting NeY York Subway System
with Brooklyn from Battery.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Leaklng in scores
of places so that two inner tubes will have
to be placed inside the tunnel for two thou
sand feet at each end, the subway connect
ing Manhattan and Brooklyn under the
East River will have to be virtually re-
built, and In the opinion of engineers in
charge of the work today the changes will
not be completed until next May.
With the completion of the inner tubes
there will be left only four inches of space
between the subway cars and sides of the
tunnel, which, 1t is said, will increase the
danger to passengers and force the trains
to proceed at greatly reduced speed.
Efforts to calk the seams in the original
tubes have proved fruitless. The utmost
secrecy has been maintained in regard to
the new work and the facts have even
been kept from the Public Service Com
mission. which has the power to grant or
refuse permission to make changes In
construction.
1t was George S. Rice, chief engineer for
the commission, who ooh 1t on himself
to grant the request of the PETERBOROUGH
Rapid Transit Company for the changes
without notifying the commission.
