When the weather cleared the Kar-
LUX was not in sight and had been
carried away by the wind which
drove the ice pack off shore.
So far the search for the Karluk
has been unsuccessful, but as there

OF CONFEDERATION
NOT ENOUGH WATER IN REsER.
HOTELS, RESTAURANTS AND
OTHER PUBLIC PLACES UN.
ABLE TO GET WATER.

CINCINNATI. Dec. 9.--Owing to
the shortage OF water in the center
of this city due to the bursting Of u
water main Saturday the fire situa-
tion was described by First Chief
Bunker as absolutely appalling. :"
The only available water is in the
Eden Park reservoirs and this would
not last an hour in case big fire
broke out, declared Chief Bunker,
A flying squadron Of automobile
chemical engines has been modified
and will be rushed to any fire today.
All fremen have been put on emer-
gency duty. No schools opened to-
day and the scholars will be given
a vacation until the water main is
repaired.
Hotels, restaurants and saloons to-
night are the chief sufferers, as what
water can be obtained is used only
for the most vital purposes. One hos
pital is entirely without water sup
ply and the city hospital and other
large institutions are without water
on their upper floors and may have
none at all a little later.
Skyscraper elevators are shut
down. Manufacturing plants will be
severely crippled tonight, as there
will not be enough water to supply
their boilers. Many factories closed
today.
Mayor Hunt issued a proclamation
calling upon citizens to use water
only for drinking and cooking pur-
purposes. Superintendent of Schools
Condor ordered all the schools closed
as not sufficient water could be OBJ
tained for heating and drinking pnr-
poses.
