New Orleans, July 15.-Josephine

Spannachio just after he had killed
her father in his saloon at 927 Deca.
tur street, was arraigned in the pri.
vate offices of Judge A. M. Aucoin
Thursday morning and Immediately
released on $1,000 bond, signed by
her attorney, Representative James
O'Connor.
Shortly after Miss Manzella was ta-
ken from the parish prison in a taxi
cab, District St. Clair Arams, hearing
of some criticism of the fact that she
was held overnight, issued a state
ment of which the gist is that the for
malities of the law required that she
be charged with the killing she freely
admitted. The girl went from Judge
Aucoin's offices to her home, where
her fathers funeral takes place at 3
o'clock. the hearing takes place next
Friday, July %. Spannachio's body, un-
claimed, lays in the morgue. If none
of his countrymen ask for it, he will
be buried in the Potters Field.

HEAVY TRAFFIC
ON RAILROADS
All Trains Passing Hattiesburg Well
Filled With Tourists on Their
Annual outings.

The passenger traffic on the differ
ent railroads entering Hattiesburg is
unusually heavy at present, due large,
ly to the special summer rates in
effect from all points to the various
health and pleasure resorts of the
country.
While many are going to the noun
tains of Tennessee, the Florida and
the Atlantic coasts and to many Nor
thern and Eastern resorts, the larger
percentage of tourists are enroute to
various gulf points, and it is stated
that the Mississippi coast is more pop
ular as pleasure resort than at any
time in its history.
The Seashore Camp Meeting. now
in progress at Biloxi, has attracted a
large number of visitors to that point,
While special inducements are being
offered by Gulfport, Pass Christian
and Bay st. Louis for their share of
the vacationists.
Hattiesburg's popular health resort,
Mammoth Springs is now receiv-
ing liberal share of patronage, many
people from distance having gone
there to rest and recuperate.
Stafford's Springs, Cooper's Wells
and other Mississippi resorts are said
to be enjoying an unusually large pat
ronage this year, all of which indicates
that money is plentiful, and that
Mississippi resorts are becoming more
generally recognized as desirable
places for pleasure and health-ssekers.

Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1910-11-25

No kind of live stock can thrive and
do well in ill-lighted, poorly-aired
buildings. One of the first require
ments in a stable is that 1t should be
well provided with windows, and have
means for letting fresh air in and foul
air out.

wreck shows that under the soft mud
a layer of blue clay was found at
depth of SO feet, that this extended to
a depth of Is feet, where it grew a
little harder and that at a depth of
IS feet it 'stiffened.' That official re-
port of the borings Is enough in itself
to show that there is no stability what
ever to the bottom down to the depth
of IS feet. 1t further goes to show
that only the fractional resistance OF
the sides of the wreck prevents 1t
from sinking deeper, and that as soon
as the mud surrounding it is removed,
a removal contemplated by the plans,
the wreck must inevitably settle fully
Is or 80 feet more. There is also the
imminent probability that it will set
tie stern or bow first, and that this
misdirected effort at raising it will
leave It standing on one end.
with this knowledge Of the insta'
bility of the bottom 1t seems incred'
ible that the coffer-dam method should
have been resorted to. The theory
of the resistance of dams and retain.
ing walls is so elementary that every
student of engineering must acquire 1t
the first year of his course. And 1t
would seem that the most elemental
knowledge of this theory should have
prevented the government from COM
hitting itself to the construction of a
coffer-dam where it is known that the
bottom is unstable to so great q
depth"
In the report published in the
technical journal which details the
plans, it is said that relative OBJ
servations on the various parts of
the Maine made today and ten
years ago, show that after its first
settlement in the mud in the bottom
of the harbor, no further settlement
took place" Those who contend that
the bed of the Maine and the sur
rounding bottom is soft, point to pho
tographs taken recently and directly
after the disaster. This taken recent
ly show that the wreck is now sub
merged much deeper than when she
first went down.
The plan devised by the board of
army officers contemplates a Golfer
dam built around the wreck. This
coffer-dam is to consist of series OF
cylinders so feet in diameter on the
sides of the wreck, and 40 feet in di.
! ameter at the bow and stern. These
cylinders" the report says, ARE to
be driven to a depth of 70 feet, which
will take them we'll into the blue clay

RAISING THE MAINE
Enqineers Engaged in Bitter War
Over Methods.
Publication of Plans Like Flrebrand
In RousIng Fight Between Army
and Navy-May Equal "Sea-levei
Lock Canal" Discussion.

Washington.-Publ Of the de-
tails of the plan formulated by the
army engineers for the work OF rails
ing the wreck of the battleship Maine
seems likely to precipitate as great
discussion as was brought about by
the war over the relative merits or
the sea-level versus the lock-type OF
canal for the Panama isthmus.
1t was made known some time ago
that the old, slow and expensive meth
cd of a coffer-dam was to be employed
by the army people, and while con-
siderable criticism of the plan was
made at the time, the engineers as
rule initiated Sigsbee in "reserving
judgment" until the plan, with all of
it's details, was at hand.
When these have been made known
it is probable that the crux of the
contention will center about the char
acter of the bottom where the Maine
lies embedded. In the f1rmness or
softness of that bed seems to lie the
essence of the entire situation.
Scott at the Dam.
For If it is soft, and if the softness
extends to any considerable depth
there will be engineers to say that
the coffer-dam idea is impracticable
for the reason that the dam would
have to be sunk too deep for its
sides to resist the lateral pressure
and, moreover, that 1t would be i'm
possible to keep 1t free of water by
reason of the great pressure under
| and around the base.
When asked his opinion of the cot
| fer-dam plan of raising the wreck OF
the battleship Maine, an engineer OF
national reputation said that he had
made a close examination of the plans
| as outlined and that his experience
had shown him that the plan adopted
by the army engineers for raising the
wreck Is utterly impracticable. He
make the remarkable statement thai
the plan, If persisted in, will not only
| fail to raise the wreck, but in all like
lihood will engulf it deeper.

of the plans" this engineer continued

this connection engineers have had
their attention called to law which
seems to have a direct bearing on
this subject and which, in view OF
the fact that only 100000 has been
appropriated, seems to forefend any
possibility of the early raising of the
wreck
Section 1879 of the Revised Stat
utes reads: mo department of the
government shall expeud in any one
fiscal year any sum in excess of ap
preparations made by congress for
that fiscal year, or involve the gov
eminent in any contract or obligation
for the future payment of money IT
excess of such appropriation, unless
such contract or obligation is author
lied by law. Any person violating any
provision of this section shall be sum
marily removed from office and may
also be punished by a fine not less
than 500, or by Imprisonment fol
not less than one month"
Army Got Work by Error.
There is an interesting bit of un
written history which reveals how
1t came about that the work Of raising
the Maine was delegated to the wal
department, instead Of to the navy
When 1t was seen that the pending
bill was sure to be passed by con
gress the navy department began &c

Then the chairman Of the commit

dressed an inquiry to Secretary Meyer
Of the navy department, making for
NAL request for information as tc
whether the work of raising the YES
sci came within the province OF the
navy department or the war depart
ment. The communication said thai
the bill, as drawn, contemplated thai
the work be done by the navy, bu
that there had been some discussion
Of the matter and that an official op1n
ion was desired.
The letter was turned over to the
solicitor of the navy department,
new man who had just taken office
He found a law which placed upon the
army the task of removing obstruc
ton from rivers and harbors and con
strued this as being an answer to the

ent the letter and when it came out
that the bill had been passed and that
the army was to do the work, the sec
retary had the civil engineers of the
navy and the construction corps about
his ears.
Then he was shown that his solict

the law which had been quoted ap
