WATER MEN MEET
Underground Water Supply Decreas

CHICAGO, July "a despatch to

At a meeting here yesterday OF rep

Marshall 0. Leighton Of the United

the decreasing underground water

eighty feet above the surface, or three

BRICK
IMPRACTICABLE

In the reports Of the recent great
conhragrations such as overwhelmed
Baltimore and San Francisco, and in
the Investigations Of detached fires,
il is found that brick is an excellent
lireproof material, says a writer in the
freproofing number Of Cement Age,
New York. If it were practicable to
construct building with walls, floors,
partitions and roof of brick, and with
weight carrying members encased in
courses of brick laid in cement NOR
tar, the result would possibly be a
hreproof structure. 1t is not practl-
cable, however, for reasons that are
manifest. The use Of brick in certain
construction means loss of floor
space. In the walls it means loss OF
! light. In brief, it is both cumbcr-
some and costly as structural ma
terial to use brick A substitute pos
scssing all its virtues as hreproof
material, something vastly more eco
nomical and quite as durable, is found
in concrete. Concrete means conser-
walton of space, increased lighting
facilities, low cost, absolute resistance

COMMITTEE MET LAST NIGHT,
AND DISCUSS MANY IMPORT
ANT ISSUES CONNECTED
WITH THE COMING REGATTA

From the business transacted at the
meeting of the committee for the l4th
annual regatta last night, the indica-
tions are that this years water festival
will undoubtedly be the best in the
history Of Astoria.

tween the committee and Mr.. Arnold,
the well known carnival manager and
all-around show man, who has man

CHICAGO, July o.-Terror was
caused in the Chicago Automobile
Club and in three fve-cent theaters
last night by the explosion OF a bomb
in the rear OF 200 State Street. The
six story building OF No. 200 State St.
is where the two men, leaders OF one
faction Of Chicago gamblers, have
their offices and the bomb was set off,
apparently by the person who has
been responsible for the dynamite
war" among gamblers.
The explosion broke every window
in the rear OF the first floor of the
State Street building. Members Of
the automobile club, which is directly
in the rear, facing the Plymouth
Court, though a gasoline tank had ex-
ploded and fed from their building.
Audiences numbering several hund-
red persons in the nickel theaters To-
Gated in the same block where the
explosion occurred made hasty exit.
In the hotels in the block similar
conditions existed. Guests fed into
the street and it was some time be-
fore they could be induced to return
to their rooms.
The police were unable to find any
trace OF dynamite or powder. The
oder OF the burned gunpowder, how
ever, gave clue to the cause.
Last winter there were no less than
fifteen similar explosions close to
buildings occupied or owned by the
different gambling interests of Chic
ago. The police have never been
able to find the parties responsible.
