AIR PUMP AT WORK ON
BURT STREET MAIN SEWER
Tunnel Work, which il Big Piece OF
Work, May he Completed by
March 1.

Air pumps and an electric motor are now
on the ground for the starting of the un-
foreground work on the Burt street main
sewer. In some respects this piece OF
sewer construction is the greatest ever
undertaken in Omaha by a city contractor
The sewer extends from Fifteenth street
to Twenty-siXth, on Burt and is over
seven feet in the clear. It is now finished
to a point just east of Twenty second
street.
From this point to place between
Twenty fourth and Twenty fifth streets
the sewer will be bored underground. A
big manhole thirty feet deep and brlcked
to the top has been constructed at Twenty
second street, and at the top Of this the
engine and air pumps will be stationed
The air lock work will commence early
this week on the heading, where the fin
ished construction now rests.
This is the first time in the history Of
Omaha that sewer construction has been
attempted by means of the air lock or
hydraulic system. At the deepest point,
just under Twenty -thrd street where it
crosses Burt, the workers in the lock will
be over fifty feet below the street level
The contractor is not only under the neces-
sity Of furnishing special machinery, but
must also nave specially lTalneu men, both
below and above ground.
The work will proceed throughout the
winter regardless Of surface conditions,
and It is expected that the sewer will be
completed by March l, il no Unforeseen OBJ
stGcles are encountered by the men who
are to do the underground boring. Up to
the point where the hydraulic boring is
beginning the ground has proved solid and
easily worked with no water to bother
and like favorable condition is looked FOR
10 the end.

bad that his name would be a weight upon
the other candidates. and a shame to the
democratic party. For reply to that re-
quest Mr.. Hitchcock denounced me Hgor-
ously as a Lar,
T. The next move made by me was TO
publicly state that Mr.. Hitchcock had been
mixed up with the BARLEY shortage, with a
new request for him TO withdraw his name
from the ticket and permit the state com
mittee To nominate some democrat who
was not party to the BARLEY defalCR-
uon. For reply Mr.. Hitchcock again de-
nounoed ne ~ a Liar, and over HE own
signature he declared that he had never
had any dealings with BARLEY.
% then published in the Telegram an
engraving OF a lettsr written by Hitchcock
to Bartley-a lsttsr which waS proof to
every man, woman and child in Nebraska
that Hitchcock had not only borrowed
money from Barney. but that ne had
borrowed BeRts money fFpm HaFtlay,
followed thAa with onsrHvinGB Of many let
ters written by Hitchcock 10 BArtl0v, all
proving bDyOnd any manner Of doubt the
borrowing by Hitchcock and tho lending
BY the STATE treasurer. When confron ted
by this positive evidence Hitchcock was
compelled 10 admit the fact of his DEALINGS
with BNrtlOg, but said he had procured the
money from Barclays private account and
not from the money held by BARLEY as
state treasurer.
g. Ny next step was TO print sngravings
OF letters In Hitohco0k'B own Handwriting,
showing that Hitchcock had by BartIe n
direction, gone to an Omaha banker to re
cure R,OoO to renew a former loan ma Dc
by the state treasurer, and l made the d.
rect charge that this 5000 had been by
that Omaha banker drawn directly from
the money deposited IN the Omaha bank
| by BARLEY In his capacity as state treas
ursr. For reply to this direct charge Mr..
| Hitchcock said that this t2,OOO loan was on
second mortgage note which some banker
| h&d sold to BARLEY, and that the security
was worthless, the first mortgage having
been foreOlOsed, leaving nothing to pay the
| second mortgage. l hold In my hand a

his wife we're first buried. 1t is a

Boone deserves a monument at

Washington. D. q. Timesl


Making a set speech in the House
is a serious proposition with Champ
Clark, of Missouri, minority leader Of
the House. and its delivery in the
House is made with gu as great
care for details as might be expected
from David Belaseo in staging a
play.
In the first place, Clark gets down
in FRONT Of the Speakers desk, where
he will have plnety Of time to wan
Ter around. Being a big man. physi-
cally as well as mentally. he looks
well TO bodily comfort, and for that
reason comes into the House on the
day Of his speech with an alpaca
coa!. No frock coats for Champ whei
he expects to tear around for two
hours. His pockets are bullying with
handkerchiefs. He Is accompanied b,
one OF his secretaries, and that func.
tionary is loaded down with books
and papers, and planted In a seat
where he can be within calling dis
lance when his chief needs to
be careful and specific and refer to
figures.
When Clark gets started on his
speech he wanders here, there, and
everywhere, after he stops to mop
away the perspiration on his brow
he sheds his handkerchief wherever
he happens to be. He Is certain to
get back to II in fifteen minutes. In
the meantime he wanders from the
Democratic side over to the major.
ity side, dropping a handkerchief
here, picking up enc there. Ere
q~uently he takes off his spectacles,
hands them to his secretary and
continues his speech. The secretary
wipes them off carefully and the
next time Clark is in this vicinity he
gives them back.
The secretary has another duty
to perform. Clark has a habit Of
telling stories to illustrate his ar
guments and iE doing so he wanders
away from what he started to say
Finally he brings himself up with I
sharp turn, goes over to the secre-
tary who is following the manuscript
Of the speech, gets his cue, ant
then takes up the line Of his argu
ment.
Members Of the House like to heal
Clark I'm q two-hour speech. That
gives him plenty Of time to indulge
in his humorous personalities ant
although he handles his opponents
without gloves, nc one takes Of
Tense.
