his answer TO the impeachment suit started
by the attorney generals office on com.

Mayor Henderson denies the six charges

liquor, but claims he was not incapacitated

long well understood that he is a drinking
man and that this was made an issue in
the last election, when the electors, know
ing that he drank, elected him mayor;
that the election took place before this
law was passed and took effect, and
therefore the law is void and can have
no bearing on his case, and further that
mics a trial by jury.

tional convention Of which opens in his

Mac Hanchett, Roy Smith, Frank Binder,
Charles r. Hannah, jr. Carleton Wood

now fifteen chapters. located at Des
Moines. Ames, Chicago, Evanston, Gin
cinnati, st. Louis. Cleveland, Newark,
Rochester, Boston, Philadelphia, La Crosse,
Detroit and Council Bluffs,
One Of the principal matters It is ex-
pected to be considered at the convention
will be methods Of meeting the conditions
arising out OF the enactment of laws in
Iowa, Minnesota and some other states
placing a ban upon all fraternities and
secret organizations in the public schools.
A number Of the delegates arrived yes
terday and are being entertained at The
homes of the local members or former

chapter are: Charles A.. Purcell, Evanston,

THIRD RISE OF INDIAN CREEK

Up for Several BIocks-Addi-
tIOnnI Damage by Mud
and Water.

For the third time within two weeks In
dian creek overlooked It's banks yester-
day shortly after noon and flooded West
Broadway from Eighth street to the Illi-
nois Central railroad tracks. The damage
to buildings on the north side OF Broad
way, however, was not great. The flood,
however, added another deposit of mud
and debris on the streets, WHICH, the city
has been trying to clean since the heavy
flood OF last week.
At North Eighth street the debris
washed down from above caught in the
hanging girders Of the bridge and soon
formed a dam, causing the water to back
up and overflow the banks. The recent
heavy rains resulting in the overflow of
the creek three times in leas than two
weeks has demonstrated to the city Off
cisls the necessity of replacing the bridge
at Eighth street with n modern structure
Of concrete so that the water in times of
flood may have a free passageway.
While a portion Of the city experienced
a heavy fall OF rain yesterday noon, there
was not any in the southern part OF the
city. South Of the tracks on Sixteenth
avenue the sun was shining and there was
no rain in that vicinity.
