Tunnel Fixtures Weighing Many
!. Tons to Be Placed Early, =
Next Week

CHICAGO, September 1.-THE task of
floating into place the twin steel tubes
that will make up the La Sale street
tunnel under the Chicago river will be
undertaken the first of next week. The
tubes. weighing many tons, will be made
buoyant as automatic tires. floateh into
their place and connected by a system
that will reduce the use of heavy and ex-
pensive machinery to a minimum
The tubes. each af which is eighteen
feet in diameter, are ready for use and
will be pumped full of air. The, scheme,
as it has been worked out by the eng
neers, is to fasten the sections of the tube
together, pump them full Of air and stop
both ends with heavy bulkheads. Mean
while the tunnel will have been filled
with water and the heavy Inner coating
of the tunnel will be foated upon it,
Then will come the task of pumping
the air out and letting water run into its
place In the tubes. The result will be
that the tubes will sink and be drawn
into place by ropes and heavy cables.

!
CHICAGO. September. 15.-Representa-
tives James NJ. Graham of Illinois and
Ollie James of Kentucky last night made
reply to the statement issued Tuesday
night by the republican members of the
Ballinger investigating committee. Ora
nam and James wrote the opinion Of the
four democratic members that was given
out as their report at Minneapolis las,
week.
The republican members Of the commit
tee met Tuesday In Chicago and charged
that the democrats had played politics.
Representative Graham says: Their
action at Chicago makes the matter very
clear. The reports OF Mr.. Madison and
F, the democrats were on file and in their
possession for four days, giving ample
| time for pointing out to the public any
error or defects that might he in. them
Instead OF selling them opportunity and
giving the public their Views, they con-
tent themselves with calling names.

enough to study the evidence and reach
conclusion on 1t. and their position
seems inexplicable unless 1t be credited to
political exigency.

been unjustly assaulted, how utterly cruel
and inhuman it. is to withhold his vindi-
cation. The very purpose Of the commit
tee in meeting at Minneapolis was to
| make report; 1t was their duty to carry
out that purpose, and it would have been
a misfortune and a wrong II the purpose
had been defeated by the voluntary if
not intentional absence of some Of the
members"
Mr.. James says:
The statement issued by Senator Nell
son and his colleagues in Chicago yes
terday. is only positive proof of what we
saw demonstrated in Minneapolis, and
that is that the republican members of
the committee did not desire to make a
report on the Ball!nger case until after
the elections.
Senator Root arrived in New York the
9Th of this month. The committee did not
meet until the 9th to pass on the Balm
ger reports. Representative Olmstead was
in Maine making republican speeches,
which he thought more important than
attending to his Official duty. Representa-
tive DENLY was absent attempting to de-
feat an insurgent for the Senate, in which
he was unsuccessful.
