. Simms and a gang of other laborers
were working on sewer at 18th street
and PENNSYLVANIA avenue northwest about
1890 o'clock today. Simms was down a
hanhole standing on a plank about eight
feet long and two and half inches thick.
He was reaching up to hand the workmen
above him another plank. when the board
on which he was standing suddenly
slipped from under him and participated
him into the water. This mishap was
understood to have been the result of a
sudden heavy flow of water into the man.
hole from sewer pipe which runs up
town. He called for help, but the rushing
water carried him beyond the reach of his
fellow workers.
He was driven through the sewer at a
fast clip, as the water in the outlet was
high as a result Of the rain during the
day. The bottom of the sewer gradually
slopes toward the river. AS soon as the
other workmen realized that Sims had
been washed down the sewer they mas
tened to several other manholes between
the point from where he was started and
the outlet at the river. After opening
several traps over manholes they reached
18th and streets northwest. where there
is a large opening. and Simms soon came
along and was extricated from his peril
Gus position.
Suffering no i'll effects except from be-
ing soaked through, Simms walked to the
Regent Hotel, at 18th street and Penn
sylvania avenue. where he went to the
engine room to dry his clothes. He was
later taken to his home in wagon.

sLEET STORM OUT WEST.
Set in Last Night-Trade and Traffic
Demoralized.

CHICAGO, December 23.-A severe sleet
storm. which set in last night, has badly
demoralized Geographic communication in
all directions. Early today it was impos-
sible to reach st. Louis from Chicago,
save by way of Omaha and Kansas City.
Peoria and Bloomington, Ills, were both
out of the world, as far as reaching them
by wire was concerned. All wires to the
north were working badly. and in the
east it was exceedingly difficult to make a
wire work through from Chicago to New
York Most of the wires were cut at Pitts
burg and matter was relayed from there
There was much trouble in this direc-
ton, Fort Wayne reporting that many
wires and poles were down east of there,
and that Geographic communication was
cut off. In the vicinity of Evansville and
between that place and Indianapolis, over
which place the storm centered at 8
o'clock this morning, telegraphic COM
munication was almost at a standstill.
The storm was accompanied by high
winds, which added to the difficulty. 1t
is predicted by the weather bureau that
the storm will continue for the greater
part Of the day and night in the middle
west.

from Mr.. H. E. Gladman. secretary Of the
Southeast Washington Citizens Associa-
ton, in which exceptions are taken to GER
tain remarks he is reported to have made
upon the occasion of a meeting Of the
Citizens Northwest Suburban Associa-
ton, held at Tennallytown, December z.
II have been directed by the Southeast
Washington Citizens Association" Mr..
Gladman states in his letter, ito write you
with regard to an article published in The
Washington Star. December 8, giving the
proceedings Of the Citizens Northwest
Suburban Association. Also remarks
credited to you during the meeting, as
followG Some citizens associations seem
to me to go off half cooked every now
and them
Quoting the remarks attributed to Capt.
Morrow, the communication states:
Tho members Of the Southeast Wash
ington Citizens Association accepts these
remarks as intended for its members. as
only recently before the District Commits
sioners and In your presence they pre-
scented a list Of needed street improve
ments in the southeast. 1t seems unfair
that this section. after being neglected for
the past, upon appealing to the honorable
Commissioners for what they consider
only their rights, should be publicly ridi-
culed and >classed as insane. and you, as
a public official, a man Of your intelli-
gence. did an injustice to a neglected part
Of our beautiful city in making such re-
marks. and especially before an associa-
ton Of citizens.
Now, Capt. Morrow" states Mr. Glad
man in conclusion. considering the injus-
tice you have done this association and
the section it represents, we think at least
an explanation is due u.s.
When Capt. Morrow was asked late this
afternoon If he would reply to the letter
he said that he did not desire to make a
statement at this time. IT prefer to sleep
over the matter for a week or so before
having anything to say" said the engineer
Commissioner in Diminishing the subject.
