MAY ADOPT DIRECT
PRESSURE SYSTEM
City Council Receives Bids For Pave
ment on scraper street--Dis-
cuss Water Question.

Notwithstanding the sweltering
weather last night, the city council
held its regular meeting and dispatch
ed a great lot of routine business, al
lowing the usual appropriations, etc
Bids for the paving Of Scraper street
from Canadian avenue to Flint av-
enue were received, referred to the
Improvement committee for canvass
to determine the best bid. Bids were
also received for curbing, grading and
guttering North Smith street.
The city clerk has been subjected
to considerable annoyance over the as
sessment of benefits for Improvements
to lots owned by two or more people.
In many cases one Of the owners Will
want to pay his portion of the ex-
pense of Improvement of a lot and
have his portion of the property re-
leased, but as the board of appraisers
fixed the assessment on the lots as
unit, this procedure was impossible
The council, in order to assist the
clerk out Of his difficulty and to afford
the property owners who were de-
sirous of paying cash for their work
an opportunity to do so passed an
ordinance authorizing the clerk to ac-
cept payment of the assessment in the
same proportion that owners share
bears to the entire property, If
man owns one third of lot, the clerk
can collect one-third of the total as
sessment against the lot and release
that portion OF the property from the
special tax.
The water question was again up
for discussion and the council instruct
ed the city engineer to go to Baxter
Springs and investigate the system Of
direct pressure now in use in that
city. Mayor Riders attention was
called to this system few days since
and believes it can be made practical
mere, and will solve the question OF
water supply for all time. The pres
sure is given from an artesian well
direct into the mains and the pressure
is gained by system of compressed
air tanks. The advisability of sub
stituting lead pipes for the galvaniz
ed pipe now in use on South Wilson
street, was discussed at some length,
but no definite action was taken. There
seems to be some mineral in the chats
under the pavement that is disastrous
to the galvanized pipe.
The council passed a resolution
making the property east of South
Wnson street in the Excelsior addi-
tion a part of the corporation. This
action was done in order to pave VIII
SON street, in accordance with a peti-
tion presented at a former meeting
The city attorney was instructed to
notify ]. R. Campbell to clean up the
septic tank on his property in the
Marrs addition and if he did not do
so. to proceed against him under the
sanitary ordinance.
The street and alley committee was
instructed to advertise for bids for
sweeping the paved streets Of the
city for period Of six months.

DAKOTA IS STIRRED
BY MARSHALL TALK
Political Possibility Causes
Surprise Throughout
the State.

BISMARCK. n. D.. Oct 4.T-That Gov
ernor John Burke is considering the ap-
pointment Of Thomas Marshall. nsur-
gent Republican. to the United States
Senate. as a successor to Senator NJ. n.
johnson. who died Friday, have stirred
North Dakota politically as no other pO-
liticaI possibility has stirred the State
since the last Senatorial campaign
Republican and Democratic leaders
alike say today, while possible, the sug-
gested Burke Marshall combination with
MarshaIPs appointment to the Senate,
the price Of MarshalPs support in
Burke's candidacy for Congress is not
probable. The leaders Of both parties,
however, are anxious, and Gov. John
Burke himsr'f seems to be the only man
who can quiet the political disturbance.
It Is contended that with Marshall as
Johnson's successor in the Senate and
Congressman Cironna in the fight against
NIcCumber that McCumber's situation
would be more perilous than it was be
fore Senator iJOhnson's death, Wnen
Marshall was generally recognized as
the man who would oppose him at the
primaries.
Gronna has made himself popular with
the insurgents wing by breaking with
/ the stalwarts when he opposed Cannon S
/ House rules. He lived in the same COun-
~ with Senator Johnson, and is Nor
Wegian. It has been generally conceded
that, with Gronna's support Marshall
could win over McCumber.

LOCAL STOCKS SLOW

Higher Prices Recorded on
Some FavoriteS-Park Saw
ingS Bank to Open.

There has been less than the usual
amount of interest in Washington Sc
curities. Probably a reflex of the con-
dition on Wall Street has checked both
speculation and investment, although
there should not be the slightest sym
patty between the two markets, either
in a break or an advance, unless a radi-
cally wrong condition in business and
financial conditions exists. Our stocks
do not follow Wall Streets booms and
should not in the declines. 1t is prob
able that the tightening of money has
also been reflected in the Iessened in
quiry for stocks and bonds. Private
transactions in bonds have been heavier
than the open sales on Change.
Even I.anston failed to attract its
usual quota of speculative interest, al
though II furnished its usual percentage
of total transactions.
Despite the quietness there was no
disposition on the part of holders Of Sc
curities to force matters by making
concessions in values. indeed the trend
was IN the other direction. LanstCn

MURDERER OF WIFE
MUST PAY PENALTY
Governor Harmon Ignores Recon-
mendation of Clemency Board
and Consigns Crooks TO Chair.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Oct. 24-IgnOring
the recommendation of the pardon board
for clemency, Governor Harmon has
astonished the State by cOnsigning Har-
~ b. Crooks, the Dayton wife murderer,
TO the electric chair.
In a statement the governor says the
growing frequency of disturbed relations
IN domestic circles is making wife muir
der all too common. He says there was
nothing in the case suggesting clemency,
that the crime was in cold blood, and
that the appeal of the condemned man
Is merely an effort to subveTt justice.
1T doesn't make any difference
whether I believe in capital punishment
or not" said the governor. The law is
there. II the sentiment of the state
is against il, let the Legislature amend
