SEWER QUESTION ON AGAIN

Further discussion took place Tues
day afternoon at the meeting of the
City Fathers In regard to the much
talked of sewer question. Stephen
Schultz has the contract for the
building OF this main sewer number
three, but his son b. J. Schultz is In
charge of the work. Very little work
has been done on the sewer for over a
month and it is necessary to have a
good force of men 90 the ground all
of the time and working continuously
in order to complete the work at the
specified time, December 1st.
Eight or nine days ago Schultz was
given notice to put at least ten men
ON the sewer. He has been working
four or five only. So the matter was
brought to a head Tuesday by a
mLtion made by Johnson and seconded
by Sans, TO the effect that. because
OF 1t appearing that Stephen Schultz
under his contract with the city OF
Cnauute for the construction OF the
sewer No. 3, has not and is not prose-
cutting the work with such force as
the city engineer, mayor and com
mssIoners deem adequate for the
completion of the said work In the
time specified, the work will be
taken out of the hands Of the con-
tractor. The city engineer will put
fifteen men at work and proceed with
the sewer until it is completed, which
will be done as soon as possible. Rea-
sonable notice, ia the opinion Of the
commissioners has already been given
to the contractors
There is yet distance of $50 feet
to excavate. Some of 1T will be only
two or three feet of rock TO gC
Through but about 25O feet will have
to have cut of ten or twelve feet
However all of that will not be rock

Foundation for Pest House

The bare mention of the Pest house
ors chase themselves up and down the
spinal column but nervous tr mors
would not be the only kind felt at
the pest house now for the building
is in an unsteady condition.
The pest house has been UNDER
minded by the river and part of the
foundation is now at the bottom of
the river so it is to be moved in som
general location, on site selected
by City Engineer Pratt. Another
foundation of concrete will be make
and the house moved over on that.

, Rocking the Autos

We have all heard Of the foolish
person who rocks the boat but on
North Santa Fe all the way out
from the FIVE hundred block, it is
not case of the boat being rocked
but the automobile. Motorists
complain Of the fact that children
stand al the curb and throw rocks
at passing automobiles. The po-
lice have be n notified of this and
will take steps to prevent 1t. A
great deal of damage might result
from this pastime of the children.

TYPHOID CRUSADE
IS NOW p1
Well to be Filled In-City
Water is Badly Pol
luted.
Saturdays Timesett

Upon the suggestions of City
Health Officer, W. E. Royster, the
city we'll on Evergreen and Main is
to be filled In. The water when
analyzed showed signs of pollution
from surface drainage and contain
lnation and when was ordered to be
cleaned out under the supervision
of DR.. Royster. the walls were
found to be in a dangerous condi
ton. When the mud was taken out
of the bottom it made quite a
stencil. The we'll was found to
receive more or less contamination
from the sewer and the surface
water also got in, SO DR.. Roys'er
said that in his opinion the well
should be filled in rather than 10
harbor the well, which was a
menace to pnollc health.
The city also received letter to
day from S. J. Crumoine, State
board of health and also letter OF
the S,ate Sanitary Engineer to Dr..
Crumbine. Tne euglater made the
analyses of the samples of wateI
sent him by Guy Eng,neer Pratt
and In his letter expresses his
opinion of the water conditions Of
Chanule. the repvrt Of these two
men, who a'e wnJljy dIsip,eresled
in the walter problem, is expressed
in stronger language than Chanute
people, who are familiar with the
murky stream which issues from
their faucets, would perh ps ex
press themselves. The fol owing
are the letters received by the
Mayor and Commissioners:
"I am enclosing, herewith. copy of
a letter trom The Eogineer together
with the result of me chemical and
meteorological txAmlnauon, which
shows your city water To be badly
polluted. | trust tnat your honor
able body will proceed without
further delay TO the serious under
taking of improving the public
water supply if found in sufficient
quantity or the installation of a
modern filtration plant. The life
and health Of your community is In
constant menace SO long as>o such a
polluted supply is served your
people for domestic consumption.

DEMOCRATIC STATE
 CONVENTION MEETS

Little Rock lure 5-The Dem. ocratlc State Convention met at ] noon today at the Kempner The. ater. There was very little to be done that had not been deter. mined upon.
 W. H. Martin of Hot Springs IS permanent chairman, and Paul Little of Sebastian is permanent secretary. o. c. Ludwig of Lit tie Rock is chairman of the plat form committee It is practi- cally settled fact that the plat form will be silent on the prohi- bltlon question. Judge A. J. Walls of Lonoke will be chairman otthe state committee, and W. C, Hutton, of Little Rock will be secretary. The personnel of the Big Four is not certain but it looks like they will be Senator's Davis and Clarke, Mr. Robinson and J. H. Hinemon. There is a plan, however, to send the altern- ates as delegates, seating the eight with half a vote each.
 Everything being slated in ad- vance, it is not expected there will be much contest over any thing, but that the greatest har- mony will prevail.
 The State Committee Tuesday afternoon heard the Senatorial contest from the district com. posed of Dallas, Cleveland, and Lincoln and awarded the office to Ed. Overman over J. E. Hamp- ton, who had been declared the nominee by the Senatorial con vention. The question of rota- tion by counties was involved, and the committee decided that Overman was entitled to it, hay ing received the majority of votes cast in Dallas county, although Judge Hampton received the majority in the district, his name having been placed on the ticket in Cleveland county.

BAR ASSOCIATION
 AGAINST THE l. AND K.
Also Against ExOrbitant Expense of Running for Office. J. D Shaver,
 Of Mena, Elected President

Little Rock, June 5.-The Ar, kansas Bar Association went on record against the referendum and initiative and the recall of judges and judicial decisions, by a very decisive vote, although these governmental checks and balances were championed by such men as Senator James P. Clarke, under proper safeguards and restrictions, Chancellor T. H. Humphreys, of Fayetteville, and Judge John Mcclure of Little 1 Rock.
 Considerable time during the afternoon of the last day was de- voted to discussion, Judge Jos. M. Hill and Hon. Charles c. Reid leading the argument against the recall and JudgeJ. W. Black wood and Judge c. c. Waters for it. Finally, the following resolution was adopted as pre- sented by George B. Rose, after the elimination of a somewhat vitriolic preamble in which he declared that the recall would produce anarchy:
 Be it resolved by the Arkan. sas State Bar Association that we condemn and deplore the agi- tation in favor of recall of the judges or a review of their judg- ments by popular vote, and that individually and as a body we will endeavor to maintain the in dependence of t h e judiciary, which we recognize as the su- preme safeguard of our govern ment and the only effective se- curity of our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
 The Association also went on record against the eXorbitant ex pense of running for office, and after the consideration of a res olution offered by Joe Stayton of Newport that the Legislature be requested to pass law against it, adopted the following substi- tute resolution by Judge Jos. M. Hill of Fort Smith;
 Be it resolved by the Bar As sociation of Arkansas that it is the duty of the next legisla' ture to pass an act curtaillng within reasonable limits cam paign expenses in primary cleo tions and making aviolation of the statute forfeiture of the nomination"
