precious on the South African veldt,
according TO a writer. who says. IN

only large tanks. and about August

carried the precious fluid out to p.,ur

Yesterday, Stock Prices Barely Nov
ing--lmproved Wheat Crops
Tends to Steady Market.

New York, May 23.-The stock
market today relapsed into a condi-
ton of lethargy from which spell of
| liquidation this week. briefly awak-
cred II and trading was in condition
OF aml-stagnation, with a barely per
Iceptible drift Of prices. Some steady
ing effect was due to the reaction in
| the wheat market and to various re.
ports of improved condition of the
crop. but there was nothing sufficient
~ conclusive in The news to overcome
the situation about buying stocks for
long accounts or for investment
The money market was easy on the
surface, due in part to the purpose
Of lenders to keep their funds in a
folm Of loans which may be recalled
readily. Condition of ease in call
loans is regarded as a sign of umcer-
tan feeling over the money prospects.
The S5,00o,000 Erie note issue was the
latest addition to capital necessities
of railroads. Other issues are felt TO
be sure 10 come New York Central
was pointed at as the most likely can
didate for the next issue of securities
TO be announced NV York banks
continued to gain on sub treasury
operations and interior exchanges in
dicate a continuance of the flow of
currency toward New York. The
passage of the two cent fare bill at
Albany was a factor in the weak
closing of the market.

Engineer Afford Finds Grave Diff
cuIties in Purging the Keno
sha River of Filth
HOLDS REMEDY A SECRET
Completes His Investigation, and Will
Take His Time to Consider the
Best Remedy Before Re-
porting to the Council

John Afford, the sanitary engineer
who has been making an investiga-
ton Of the Kenosha harbor at the de-
mand of the city, completed his work
on Wednesday evening nd':returned
to Chicago without giving any indica-
tons of the remedy which he would
offer.
In speaking of the matter before
leaving the city he said: "The Keno
sha river has presented difficulties
graver in many respects than those
confronting me in some of the larger
cities and the problem here will de-
mand a careful working out. 1t will
take some time for me to study out
this problem and am going to take
my time to it. When this work is
done it must be done thoroughly. The
conditions in Kenosha are similar to
those to be found in every other city
along the lake, and these other cities
will in short time be forced to take
the steps which are now being taken
here on the advice of the State Board
of Health
During the time he was in Kenosha
Engineer Afford not only made a
close study of the river and all sewers
entering into it, but he went to the
Kenosha hospital and investigated the
number of cases of typhoid fever
that had been reported at the hospital
in the last eighteen months. 1t was
shown that there had beens108 cases
of the disease at the hospital alone in
that time. Engineer Afford stated
that there was no better way tolshow
pollution of water than to examine
into the number of cases of typhoid
fever in city.
Mr.. Afford took with him back to
Chicago maps of the city and the city
sewer systems, and also drawings
showing the territory drained by the
sewers emptying into the harbor and
the river.
While he gave no statement in re-
gard to the condition of the river
trouble, he spoke of the building of
septic tank for the handling of refuse
from the tannery, and it is1possib1e
that such a tank will be zone of his
suggestions for making the changes
demanded by the state board.
The engineer did not hazard a
guess as to the cost of the work he
would outline, and nothing in regard
to the cost can be said until after the
report of the engineer has been SUBJ
mitted apd the plans for the changes
submitted to contractors. 1t is certain
that the changes which will be de-
manded will cost large amount of
money.

PROMOTION FOR MAI. WARREN
Former Engineer in Charge of Govern.
ment Work Now Lieutenant Colonel

Former Engineer in Charge of Govern
ment Work Now Lieutenant Colonel
Mai. James G. Warren, who was
stationed in Milwaukee with the engi-
neering corps of the United States
army up to about two years ago, has
been promoted to the rank of lieuten-
ant colonel. This rank carries with
it salary of ABOUT So, 600 year. He
will not reach the retiring age until
1922, SO that fifteen years of active
service are before him.
Some time ago Maj. Warren went to
Washington to appear before the
military board which was to pass on
the cases of officers who did not com
ply with the riding tests at the Fort
Sheridan examination. Threats to
retire officers who did not demonstrate
their ability on the horse caused some
suspense among Maj. Warren's
friends in Cincinnati, where he is
now stationed, but this was restored
with the arrival of the commission.
