$4,000 APPROPRIATED
FOR INC|NERAT|ON PLANT

With the city hall in black darkness.
excepting for the light of candles and
the more brilliant suffusion of few
flashlights borrowed from the police
department., the East Chicago city
council convened last night.
The scene in the council chamber was
most weird and spectacular, and it
was duplicated in the mayors office.
where the members of the board of
public works were in session, porting
over maps and documents until $40
O'Clock. The storm of the afternoon
had put the entire lighting facilities of
the city out of commission. and candles
were al a premium throughout town.
The lights came on just before the
board of public works adjourned, but
the council meeting was over before
this happened, and the entire meeting
was conducted in semf-darkness.
Considerable business was transacted

Later in the day there arrived a tele-
gram from Mr.. Coplin stating that, in
his opinion, his daughter had no dip
iberia and would be ready to return TO
her studies in a short while. However.
the health authorities had been arous-
ed. and the opinion of DR.. Victor. r.
Galderston having been asked 1t was
decided advisable, despite the favora-
Bile outcome of Miss Copiin5s casefsto
hold the rest of the Cahpin Hal girls
under strict quarantine.
In the meantime, however, the au-
thorities at Chaplin Hall are facing a
real outbreak, as several social func-
lions are due at Northwestern within
the next few weeks. The girls main
tain that they have stood a veritable
cholera seige, thirty days. and they
are making bold threats that unless
they are let out they will devise means
to get into the hospital and escape like
Miss Coplin or else break into open re-
bellion.
Miss Coplin's case. according to the
medical authorities at Northwestern, IS
the first dormitory case of diptheria In
two years. They admit that they may
have mistaken her ailment for "folli-
cular tonsilitis," which has sometimes
proved fatal in old age. but the doctors
who examined Miss Coplin are ready to
declare that no such ailment could kill

the lack of proper illumination. An
important itena of business was the
appropriation of $4,000 for incineration
plants. to take care of the citys gar
bage.
There are to be two of these, one
to be located near the Magoun avenue
pumping station and the other near the
old Adler street pumping station, on
property owned by the city. The neces-
sity of these plants is most urgent the
city garbage dumping grounds being
already crowded. Mayor Schlieker in
spected a very practical crematory in
Huntington, which can be installed at
a cost of $4,000. A building to pro-
tect this will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $500. This plant requires one
man In attendance and a ton of coal a
day to start the fires, after which the
garbage furnishes the fuel to keep the
fires going This solves the problem

No Further Action Expected in the
Canal Tolls Case. '..
PRESENT FORM SATISFACTORY
Changes Made by Conference COm-
mittee Meet Objection to the
Discrim ina tiOn Against
British Ships.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-It is said to
be reasonably certain that no further pro-
test will be made by Great Britain on
behalf Of English merchantile interests
against the Panama canal bill II it finally
takes the form reported yesterday from
the conference committee. The British
objection was laid against discrimination
against British shipping. AS such ship
ping is not now privileged TO enter into
the American coastwise trade, which
alone is to receive favored treatment in
the canal. that objection is overcome.
1t is regarded as possible. however
that in defense to Canada the British
government may be led to object to the
prohibition against those railroad owned
ships, but State department officials are
confident that objection would not hold
under the treaty, as the prohibition Is to
apply to American vessels as well as
others ard there could be no charge of
discrimination there.
