Norwich is really surrounded with pure water and is today without a drop to drink; but it is taking its Nohegan- lake chloride -of-limed water with the best stomach it can com mand and stiIl basks in the sunshine of hope There is no denying that just at present the condition of Norwich is a warning to other cities to accept the advice of expert engineers after it has paid S7.C00 for it. instead of spec uIatins and experimenting and at the same time neglecting the opportunity to better itself. The condition is one marked by heavy financial loss and city wide distress. Norwich never needed a finch rain more than it does today. and that is something 1t hasn't had for several years, and the rainfall for the year has been many inches short upon the level.

WHERE WATER IS SCARCE.

The neighboring city of Norwich is having grave difficulties with it's wa ter supply. The water is gradually falling in the regular reservoir, and so deficient is the Efessure there that the houses on the hilltops have to be sup piled by watering carts. An overland pipe line has been laid to Mohegan lake add two artesian wells have been sunlS- the combined capacity of which is as yet only fifty gallons a minute. Norwich would much prefer a first class rainstorm just at present to the finest kind of good weather Its plight is unusual but there are other com munities in this part of the country where the public, water supply is low. It is safe to say that, with such an experience freshly in mind, the Rose of New England" will safeguard itself at the earliset practical moment a2amst a recurrence of so annoying Ind dangerous an experience.--Provi- deuce Journal.

WILL ASK DAMAGES
His Shoe Store Was Flooded Yester-
day Injuring Some Goods.

Charles F. Fry, the shoe man,
states this morning that he will
bring a suit for damages against the
parties responsible for the breaking
of the main which caused the water
to enter the rear of his shop and
store on Wenatchee avenue. This is
the only damage done by the broken
main yesterday, other than to the
unfinished basement of the Ellis
Forde building which was started on
Mission street last winter.
The water covered the floor in the
shoe store to a depth of four to six
inches and entered the boxes con-
tanning new goods just received for
the fall trade
At first, Mr. Fry thought he was
to deal with the city, but supposes
that the suit will be against the sew
er contractors.

B. Moissant, the Chicago aviator
who is attempting to fly from Paris

time here today, breaking his pro-
peller and part of the frame of the

Good fortune seems to have de-

detained him nearly three hours. He
resumed flight but had hardly gone
ten miles when the rod connecting
up the driving gear of the machine
was fractured, stopping the engine
and forcing the ChicagOan to descend
to the ground. In order to avoid
plunging into the clump of trees,
Moissant made an abrupt turn and
the machine came down heavily,
breaking the chassis and smashing
the propeller. Moissant and the me-
chanician climbed out uninjured but
it was found repairs could be COM

GEORGE BURGE IS
RECOVERING
Improved in Health He Has
Hopes of Recovery by
New Treatment.

Word came this morning that Geo.
Burge is improving in health. He
has submitted to a different treat
ment which is proving beneficial.
No operation is necessary with this
treatment and the patient is rapid
ly gaining strength and confidence.
1t has been at a severe sacrifice
to his business interests that the
fruit man was compelled to give up
and enter the hospital at this time
The prospect of returning to Wenat-
chez and giving only a little atten-
ton to his business had almost an
immediate good effect upon his spir-
it's.
The many friends of the sick man
will be pleased to learn that the
disease may not be disastrous after
all and that he may again be out
with health and strength.

BITTEN BY RATHER
H. Z. Fitch Brought to the City Yes
terday From Up the Columbia.

H. E. Fitch came down on the boat
yesterday from Chelan Falls, where
he is employed on the Stacy & Nor
ris fruit ranch. He had been bitten
by a rattlesnake on the finger and
hand and was suffering intense pain.
He was take to the Wenatchee Cen
eral Hospital and given attention by
DR.. Mccoy. His arm clear up to his
shoulder was black from the effects
of the poison but DR.. Mccoy thinks
that he will pull through all right
now.
The man had reached down to lift
up a rock when the reptile struck
him on the finger. The snake loos-
ened his hold on the finger and again
struck him on the hand. The snake
was killed but Mr.. Fitch believes
that he had the worst of the battle.

This fund will be reimbursed from
the bond issue to the amount of 49,

Bert Adams, Clayt Penrose and
Oscar Smith made hole in the roof
of the city Jail last night at about
II o'clock and lifted themselves
through to liberty. Within 20 min
utes after their escape Officer Haul
ser learned the fact and at once gave
chase, after notifying Chief Inscho.
The bloodhounds were brought out
and the men were tracked to the
Great Northern Tracks. Here all
traces were lost. 1t is supposed that
they left town on freight train
which pulled out for the west short
ly before the officers arrived.
There were four prisoners in the
Jail, all being the charges of the
sheriff. The city bastile is being
used by the county while the new
county Jail is in course of construc-
ton. Bert Adams is awaiting trial
before Judge Grimshaw on charge
of highway robbery; Penrose for
rape, and Smith is the dope fiend.
One other man, Bailey by name, did
not attempt to escape.
When asked by the World report
er this morning why he did not
leave with the other men, Bailey
said that he has only eight days
more to serve and that he prefers
to go out a perfectly free man. He
was arrested recently at Cashmere
for bringing in more liquor than
the law allows.
Bailey says that Adams was look
ing around the Jail last night when
all at once he exclaimed: HI, all
| see is two inches between us and
liberty" Whereupon he climbed to
the ceiling of the back cell and
proved loose the two inch boards suf-
ficiently to let his body through.
With the board now loose he ram
med the roof which is only light
weight shiplap covered with tar pa
per. A hole seven or eight inches
wide and three feet long was made
quickly and the three men were out
side in a few moments from the time
the escape was first thought of. Any
small boy could have done the same
thing almost as easily. A long
bread knife with a curved blade was
found on the roof near the hole. 1t
is not believed that this was used in
any way to make the escape.
Officers throughout the state have
been notified by wire of the escape.
Attorney May Be Implicated.
1t has been learned that Judge
Grimshaw has been much embarras-
sed in his efforts to secure some at
torney in this city to defend Clayt
Penrose. This man was held for a
statutory offense. He was unable to
employ counsel and it became the
duty of the state to provide him
with a defender One lawyer after
another was approached on the SUBJ
ject by the judge, but each one had
some excuse whcih he urged with
great vehemence. Finally the judge
was becoming desperate and had
threatened to make an arbitrary de-
cision in the matter 1t is rumored
that one of the young attorneys fig
ured that the misfortune was about
to fall upon him and that rather
than be compelled to appear in this
case, he provided the means of es-
cape to the prisoner, but the World
does not give this story for anything
more than it is worth.

| ONGW0RTH
WILL FIGHT
CANNON
Representative Longworth
Gave Out Statement in
Opposition to Speaker.

Beverly, Mass. Aug. 1S.-Refiect-
ing the views of the administration
it is generally believed, Representa-
tive Longworth today gave out the
statement in which he said he would
never support Speaker Cannon again
and that he did not believe Cannon
could ever again be reelected. This
is regarded as the beginning of the
actual fight on Cannon.
It has been regarded significant
that Longworth has been called in
to all the recent political conferences
held by President Taft. He was
present yesterday when the presi-
dent and Sherman talked together.
1t was reported than that the state
ment adverse to Cannon was being
prepared in quarters close to the adj
ministration and it was also init
mated that Sherman, who Longworth
says, always has been a supporter of
the fate that Cannon must go.
There may be further significance
in the fact that Longworth is going
TO Oyster Bay Saturday to spend sew
eral days with his father-in-law, Col
Roosevelt. Longworth's statement
in substance says that he did not in
tend to allude to the fact that he
intended to oppose Cannon's re-elec-
ton as speaker, had the speaker re-
Trained from himself bringing that
intention to the front and making it
a part of the speakers campaign
for reelection to the house.
Now that the issue is made, Long
worth says he does not propose to
dodge it. He then proceeds to say
that he shall fight Cannon's re-elec-
ton to the speakership. He says he
made up his mind before the ad-
journment of the last session that
Cannon could not be reelected
speaker and his opinion has been
strengthened through correspondence
and talks with those of his colleag-
ues who have supported Cannon He
says he has a genuine affection for
Cannon as a man and fighter and
that he has supported him five times
for the speakership, having voted for
his election four times and once
against his removal, but says that
he cannot do so again.
That a movement looking to the
elimination of Cannon was on foot
was indicated week ago. Since
that time it has been believed the
sentiment rapidly crystallized and
that fight is fairly on. Whether
the speaker will accept the situation
which has developed since yester-
days conference with the president,
remains yet to be seen. Whether he
accepts or not, it is felt here that
Cannon is already eliminated.
Danville, H., Aug. 1S.-Speaker
Cannon, when shown the dispatch
from Beverly regarding the state
ment given out by Representative
said: "Mr. Cannon de-
clines to answer any statement Mr.
Nicholas Longworth may or may not
have made until he sees it. l do not
answer any statements which | be-
lieve to be fakes that mischievous
parties make 1t is time enough for
me to answer the president of the
United States if he has any state
ment to make on the republicanism
of the speaker of the house of rep
when he makes the
statement under his own hands. /
will not fight windmills famed by
breezes blown from the tongues of
political personal enemies or cow
ards.
