FIRST ANNUAL 81. S.
EXHIBITION PLEASES
(Continued from page one.)

herself the admiration of the audience
for her quaint reading Of Longfellow's
THE Bell of Atri," not a word OF what
she had to say escaped her audience
and many wondered how much a little
girl could retain as big a piece OF
poetry in her memory as she did
Miss Mildred Collins, whose silvery
soprano could be heard and easily dis
tinguished in the chorus, was roundly
applauded when she stepped to the
center of the stage to sing a solo selec-
ton Her selection was perfectly rem
dered and enhanced by her dash and
righteousness and graceful bearing.
She responded to the applause follow
ing her song with an encore.
Lovely June" by the high school
chorus was probably the best rendered
selection by the chorus. 1t followed
the solo by Miss Collins.
Debate is Opened.
With the exception of one more num-
Der by the high school chorus the above
numbers completed the singing pro-
gram, and the audience prepared for
the debate between the two literary
societies of the high school the Round
Table Debating society and the Athe-
MAN society
The question for debate vast IRE
solved, that a constitutional amendment
should be secured by which senators
shall be elected by direct vote Of the
people,"
The Round Tables were represented
by William Evers, Edwin Friedrich
and Elston Elliott. They took up the
affirmation of the resolution. The Athe-
mans on the negative were represented
by Mamie Burnham, Maude Foley and
Hazel LaRue.
Enter Into Spirit.
Both sides entered into the discussion
with seriousness and discussed the
question in a way that would have been
q credit to ripper Judgment. The de-
baters wedged in quite a number of
extemporaneous remarks that enlivened
the debate. The boys were rather too
eager to present their side which made
them make haste slowly. The girls
were more deliberate in their state
ments. Edwin Friedrich, son Of Charles
Friedrich was easily the best debator
of the two societies. He was especially
good in the three minutes of rebuttal
allowed, but credit must also be given
the other two of the round table who.
in a discussion beforehand prompted
some of Friedrich's best points. It was
evident, however. that the young man
takes very much after his father and
the parent had also prompted some of
his best thoughts.
Athenfans Win.
During the time that the Judges
reached their decision on the high
school chorus save their closing num-
Der after which Professor W. A. Hill
announced that the verdict had been
awarded to the Athenians, the girls.
| The whole was a big success from
an entertaining and educational stand
point and will undoubted be leading
feature next year.

Explanation of Feat.

ne great engineering 1eat IN the
construction of the sewer consists in
the disposal of the water at the depth
at which they are digging. Near the
Wabash tracks where they are now
working, there is a slough in which
there continually stands two feet of
water. If there were no pumps used
therefore it would mean that there
would be about twenty feet of water
to contend with. With ordinary pumps
it would be an impossibflity to suck
the water up from the bottom of the ex-
cavation. but this difficulty is disposed
of by the use of what is known as the
Emerson pump, which has never be-
fore been adapted to sewer construe-
tion. This pump lifts the water up to
a certain height and then pushes it out.
first by means of a vacuum and then
by the condensing of the steam forced
into the cylinders of the pump. There
are four of these pumps in operation,
each with a capacity of $50 gallons
per minute and running continually
at half their capacity. This means
that 1,00S,000 gallons of water is
pumped from the sewer every twenty
four hours. This keeps the bottom of
the ditch as dry as the surface for all
practical purposes. If the pumps were
to stop for ten minutes the water
would rise at least two feet. The ne
gines that supply the steam for the
pumps cansume seventy five tons of
coal per week
VIII Take ell Swamps Out.
It is expected that the great sewer
will be completed, so that by Sep
TENDER 1, there will not be a swamp
or marsh in the city This will mean
the avoiding OF a possible spread of
contagion that has been feared should
the stagnant water be allowed to re-
main in the city many months longer.
Not only will the surface water be dis
posed of, but prospective builders need
have no fear of water in their cellars
should they see fit to construct a
building with two stories below the
surface of the earth.
For the present district sewer Will
be extended only to Fifteenth street
street and the remainder if the civ
will be drained by smaller extensions
leading to the big sewer. In the
course of twelve of fifteen months Gary
will have established their sceptfc tank
system by which all of the sewage
will be purified and turned back into
the river as pure and clean as when
1t fell from the skies. For the time
being. however, the sewage will be
turned directly into the Calumet river
After the inspection of the sewer
took place, Mr.. Green took the party
to the Gary hotel where they dfned.
Those present were: Mayor Knots.
City Engineer A. P. Melton, r. ShefIow,
the city Inspector. Carl j. Cooper, Carl
Denowitz and c. r. Woods.

WONDERFUL SEWER
BUILT IN GARY
Engineering Feat That Has
Never Been Equalled in
Any Indiana City.
GREEN 8 SON EXPLAIN SEWER
Over Million Gallons of Water Are
Pumped Through It-Sceptic
Tank System.

In the matter of civil improvements
in Gary, but few of them equal in
magnitude the marvellous sewer now
under construction, known as district
sewer No 1, and located five and q
half blocks east of Broadway. The
construction of the sewer is not only
an engineering feat, that is remark
able in itself, but also for what it
will accomplish. The idea is the pro-
duct of careful study and weeks of
investigation on the part of the board
of trustees, and it's construction the
result of rare mechanical ability on
the part of Green & Sons, the big
contractors who have charge of the
building of the sewer.
Looking to The Future.
In Gary. all municipal improvements
are done with an eye to the future, and
this fact is especially characteristic
in the construction of the big sewer
The manner of handling the difficulties
encountered was carefully explained
this afternoon by Mr.. Green and
Mayor Thomas L. Knots to the rep
resentatives of the various newspa-
pers in the city
Nowhere in the state with the ex-
ception, possibly, of Indianapolis, has
a sewer been laid of the magnitude
and character of the one in Gary.
Twentyseven feet below the surface
of the alley 1t is laid, with a diameter
of eight feet, and three complete rings
or layers of brick. Every foot that
is constructed means an expenditure
of $25 and when the entire system is
complete, the city will have become
indebted to Green & Son the sum of
100000 for the 5000 feet to be con-
structed on this branch
Three Thousand Feet is Completed.
There has now been completed
5000 feet, and the work is progressing
at the average rate of seventy five feet
per day. This means the laying of
] $4,000 brick in a single day, the con-
sumption of 125 barrels of cement and
the employment of a small army OF
workmen, numbering 800 or more
Other astonishing figures could be
! given to give a conception of the work
/ being done
The appearance of the scene of opera
lions resembles in a degree pictures Of
