second from the lake into these rivers
would not create a current too swift for
safe navigation.
Points Out Sanitary Reneflt.
In reporting upon this matter to
the government. / gave full weight to
the objections that had been raised
against the lowering of the lake levels.
l believe the injury that would be suf-
fered by the general shipping interests
at other lake ports on this account
would be more than offset by the bene-
fits that would come to the people of
Chicago through the turning back of
the sewage that now enlpties into the
lake
The reversal of the flow of the
Chicago river has diverted a greater
part of the city sewage from the lake
and by thus keeping the drinking water
more nearly pure has prevented disease
and death and helped to make Chicago
a healthful place of residence.
LAS matters now stand, the sanitary
district is permitted to take not more
, than 4.1s7 cubic feet of wtaer per sec
ond from the lake. and most of this is
, sent through the Chicago river. The
district has a main canal with a
pacfty of $4,000 cubic feet per second.
1t is constructing q north drainage
channel which Will tap the lake at
Winnetka.
Greater Flow IL Needed.
In the event that the government
/ would permit it to take a total of TO-
! 900 cubic feet of water per second from
! the lake. the district purposed to turn
! 1000 cubic feet of water into the
north channel. 1000 cubic feet into the
I Calumet river and add 700 cubic feet
| to the present intake of the Chicago
/ river
/ eff only 1000 cubic feet of water per
| second were taken into the Calumet
river, it would reverse the flow of the
| river only during certain portions of
| the year. During the rainy seasons
/ the flow of the Calumet into Lake
| Michigan is in excess of 1000 cubic
| feet per second; so, during such sea-
sons, the sewage would be carried into
the lake in spite of the 1000 cubic
feet of lake water which in the theory
would be running into the river every
second.
4 1.-The original intent of the sanitary
district was to take 1000 cubic feet
met and to increase the flow into the
Chicago river to 10000 cubic feet per
second. 1t was reported by govern
ment engineers and by the interna-
tional waterways commission that the
taking of $4,000 cubic feet Of water
per second from the lake would lower
the lake level eight and one-hal1
inches"

Nothing New in It.

Attorney L. l. Bomberger says that
there Is nothing new in the matter of

Mr.. Bomberger said that one of the
aldermen said he would take the mat

KEPT IN CLOSE TOUCH.
While Watson and Hemenway have
been in the east much OF the time re-
Gently they have kept in pretty close
touch with the populace of Indiana and
1t is the common understanding that
both of them came to Indiana recently
for no other purpose than to get a look
first-hand at conditions as they exist
here. 1t Is stated also that from their
observations they concluded that rs per
cent of the people Of Indiana, both DEM
ocrats and republicans, are strongly OPP
posed to the Payne-A1drich tariff bill
and that the state of mind of the re-
naming % per cent is not such as to
make them valuable allies in fight for
the UNFOLDING of the tariff bill.
FIGHT MADE GUARDEDLY.
When these conclusions were reached,
or rather whene these conditions were
revealed to Hemenway and Watson. it
is understood that they concluded that
any fight which is to be made for the
tariff bill in Indiana must be made
gradually and In a most guarded man
j ner. 1t must be q campaign Of educa-
ton and not an attempt TO jam any
ideas down the threats-of delegates who
come to the state convention. In fact.
1T is SAID that Mr.. Hemenway remarked
before leaving Indiana that there would
be bett n feeling toward the tariff
bill later
State Chairman Lee has been travel
ing over the state considerably since he
has opened headquarters here. Chair
man Lee is known to be in sympathy
with the ideas of Senator Beveridge on
the tariff question but he has had his
weather eye out and while he refuses
to discuss the subject it is understood
that he has found in sections of the
state where he has visited whole

ALL BUNK is THIS TALK.
These and some other things make Il
apparent that the great scrap which ha:
ben predicted for the state convention
will prove to be mostly talk. The Lin
soln league is one of the strong politi
sal organizations of the state. The same
prediction was made before the League
held its annual meeting recently at Co
