GEM SAYS SEWERS
NEED A SCRUBB|NG
And Board Orders Him to
Proceed with Work
Board Routine.

D. c. Gem, street commissioner.
reported to the board of works today
that he is compelled to put on sew
er gang" to flush the sewers in the
city. saying that if he does not a
number of the sewers will be clogged.
The city engineer said that there are
forty-five miles of sewers in this city
and that the commissioner was right
in his statement The board instructed
Commissioner Gem to do as he
thought best.
Mr.. Gem reported that he had COM
pleted the construction of new sew.
er on North Eighth street. from B to
c streets, and the cost of which was
$3.50. The old sewer had been stopped
up by roots of trees.
The commissioner was given orders
to have Main street flushed and to
keep it clean until after the holidays
Resolutions and plans for the COM
pletion of the Fairview sewer system
were adopted by the board
Condemnation Of property and
ground for the construction of sani-
tary sewer between Fifth and Sixth
street from the first alley north of
ordered by the board. For the past
few weeks DR.. Davis, of the health
department, has urged that this sewer
be constructed.
The board decided that the city will
pay $4,000 on the proposed improve
ment Of West Main street by brick
ing from the bridge to West Fifth
street.
J. X. Jeffries. superintendent of the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis and East
crn traction company appeared before
the board in regard to the matter of
placing the high tension wires of the
company on Southwest A street. He
said that the company could not place
the wires sixty feet above the ground
as had been ordered by the board of
resolution. He said that the company
had declared itself as willing to use
sixty-foot poles which would place
the wires about forty-nine feet above
the ground. Otherwise he said the sev-
enty-foot poles would be necessitated
and this would be unsafe.
Supt. Jeffries said that his company
is planning, to run west-bound inter.
urbans west on Main street to West
Fifth street and east bound interur.
bans east on the National road to
West Third street, in order to avoid
collisions or accidents.
A remonstrance against the propos-
ed paving of North Fifteenth street
from E to F street, was presented to
the board Of works, signed by a ma
jority of the property owners. 1t is
likely that the board will recommend
to council to force the improvement.

Dispatches were sent to the outside

The imprisonment of the miners
marks one of the worst mine disasters
in the history of the country and unu.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 11.-Although
che mystery surrounding the wherea-
bouts over Sunday of President Frank
Ryan and acting secretary Hockin of
the Iron Workers Union remains un-
solved, Mr.. Hockin was on his job at
Union headquarters this morning de-
claring simply was out of town."
Hockin denounced as untrue all re-

Hockin declared no raid" had been
made. and that he had not turned any
thing over to the federal officials.
When Detective w. J. Burns arriv.

Are you going to testify before the

That's up to Mr.. Miller. He is in

There Is not one word Of truth in
the story" he said.
"Have your men under surveillance

II cannot answer that question at
this time"
do you believe the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor has made true ac-
counting of the amount collected and
distributed in the Mcnamara defense

II most certainly do not. Organized
labor should demand "a strict account

Namara defense fund. If they do this
they will ascertain that all the money
was not devoted to legitimate pur-
poses"

ALLEGED BRIBERY
OF M'NAMARA JURY
Detective Franklin, Who Is
Alleged to Have Given
Bribes, Arraigned.
(National News Association)

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11.-Attorney
Clarence Darrow's name was brought
into the jury bribery scandal in the
Mcnamara case today when venire-
man Lockwood declared that Frank
lin told me he would go to Darrow
and arrange for a satisfactory pay
ment of money" This conversation he
alleged occurred at Lockwood's home
the day he agreed to accept the $4,-
600 bribe from Franklin, who is on
trial now.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11.-In the
same room in which Jas. B. McNamara
stood trial for his life for murder in
connection with the dynamiting of the
Los Angeles Times building Bert
Franklin, charged with bribing and at
tempting to influence a juror in that
case was scheduled to appear today
for preliminary hearing. Assistant
District Attorney w. Jos. Ford offer
ed as mute evidence of the alleged
crime, $4,000-one $1,000 and six $500
bills, were ready to be laid before the
court. Veniremen Geo. N. Lockwood.
who accepted $500 of the money, after
telling the district attorney that an
attempt to bribe him had been made,
c. E. White, the man who actually
handed him the cash and the detec-
tives of the district attorneys office
are ready to tell their stories. Robert
F. Balm, sworn juror in the Mcnamara
case who admitted that he had &C.
cepted money to secure an acquittal,
or failing that to hang the jury and
Mrs. Balm, through whose influence
her husband consented to take the
bribe, were at the call of Ford.
Behind all this and adding the great
est interest to the nearing, was the
possibility that the testimony as it un-
folded would add other names to those
already connected with the scandal,
which, according to trial Judge Walter
Bordwell, forced the McNamaras to
confess to crimes that have since land
ed them in San Quentin prison.
