ing TO keep up his reputation as a
rival Of Connie Mack and other or
ganizers OF championship baseball
teams. Mr.. Russell is at work pre-
pairing an aggregation from among
the merchants OF the south side to
meet the north side merchants In the
annual fracas on the north side dia-
mond.
The date for the game has been
tentatively set for week from Thurs
day but the date rs well as the lineup
may be considerably changed before
the umpire calls Batter up.
Yearly the merchants OF the north
and south sides get together in a ball
game and usually another contest IS
ST. sed between the storekeepers and
clerks representing Main and Second
SITS. and the games are an annual
source OF great amusement TO those
who for various reasons are unable TO
handle the hGrsehide or lift the bat
The games usually draw crowds that
rival the Sunday attendance at the
city teams games.

WASHINGTON, July %. Con-
certed opposition has developed in
congress to Postmaster Gen. Burle-
sons order reducing parcel post rates.
and increasing the maximum size of
packages to be handled in the serv-
ice. The order was issued Sunday to
become effective Aug. 10, and Tues
requested Mr.. Burleson to appear be-
fore the committee next Thursday
with an explanation of the authority
for his action.
This was the first step in what
promises to be a bitter contest. When
the postmaster general has been
heard, the committee is expected to
undertake to have withdrawn before
Aug. 1 5 any authority he may claim
congress has given him TO change
rates and sizes. 1t was contended in
the committee that the proposed
changes would entail an enormous
loss to the government, and some of
the members complained StrenuOusly
that the pOstotfice department had
failed to furnish congress with data
concerning the operation of the parcel
post. Apparently there was no differ
ence of opinion in the committee as
to whether the postmaster general
should change the rates, democrats
and republicans agreeing that only
congress ought to have this power
The controversy has aroused extra
ordinary interest at the capital and
in official circles, since the parcel
post touches more or less directly
nearly everybody in the country.
Those who are supporting the post
master general in his stand insist that
the only loss imminent under the
proposed changes would be to the ex-
press companies, which now carry
the profit making, larger size pack
ages while the government transports
the Improbable. small ones.
Although members of the commit
tee contend that it is a mere ingram
NAUTICAL tumble of words without sense
or power, department officials say the
postmaster general is given ample au-
thOrity for his order by the parcel
post laws.

FORD TURNS TURTLE
AT DANGEROUS POINT

five-passenger Ford Tuesday af-
ternoon about $3.50 turned turtle at
the corner OF w. Second and Logan
SITS. with C. E. Bender of 210 S. Will
lam St, South Bend, at the wheel
Mr.. Bender secured a wrenched back
and a bad cut on his nose. He con-
siders himself very lucky that he did
not receive much more serious in
juries. He says that he cannot ac-
count for the accident but he thinks
that the cause was due 10 an over
oiled steer gear. He was driving
about 2 miles an hour when the acct
dent occurred. When he reached Lo-
gan ST. the machine started TO act
rather odd and suddenly something
caused the wheels TO turn north
across the track toward the river. In
fear Of going over the embankment
he gave the wheel a quick serve to the
left which overturned the machine.
The car was badly damaged as the
fender. light props. top. windshield.
radiator, front wheels. frame and all
suffered in the accident.
Mr.. Bender was removed to the hos
pital here and was later taken TO his
home at South Bend.

PURE WATER SYSTEM
PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
New East End Plant Will Soon
Be Completed - Pumping
Engine Yet to Be Installed.

Progress in the constructing and in
stalling OF Mishawaka's new pure wa
ter system is making great strides and
one who had not visited the site of the
plant since the middle OF April would
find a wonderful change there. The
early part OF April at the grounds one
would have seen nothing but a few
big pipes protruding from the ground.
a small stretch OF swampy land and
dreary aspect Of lonesome country.
Now one will find large modern fire
proof building constructed throughout
with brick, steel and cement A 800
foot smoke stack that projects into
the heavens, and a spur of siding down
Virgil St The connecting of the six
wells to a single main 20 feet below
the surface has been completed and
the intake and discharge lines lie
within 80 feet Of the plant now. The
battery of boilers. two in number,
which were recently installed, are in
readiness for the starting fires.
The installing of the new cross
compound condensing COrliss pump
ing engine will practically complete
the installing of the system. The
new engine will set at the east end
dations which have a retaining wall
around them for the protection of the
pump from high water in the rainy
season. There is a cement wall about
the building six feet high above the
floor level. The retaining wall, foun-
datiOns and floors are constructed of
waterproof cement as the plant is
built below water level. The pumps
arrived in the city Tuesday and were
taken at once to the siding at the
plant Men who are experts from the
plant will arrive here this week and
the installing will be started.
The pump is of the best make type
and has all modern improvements for
plant of this capacity. 1t has
steam condenser at the water end or
the pump where the steam after GO
ing through the steam end passes
through a pipe line TO the condenser
where il is condensed to water and
the water then passes on through to
feed heater which is located In the
boiler room; from this heater II is
pumped into the boilers and again
used. The intake or suction pipe
from the wells enters the building
from the west and is connected to
the water end of the engine on the
south side. The water from the wells
passes through the condenser and
then on into the heads. From the
head it goes into the discharge line.
which runs east through the building
and then south on Virgil ST. 20 the city
mains.
The rapid completion of the system
and plant is due largely TO the untir-
ing efforts Of Mayor John A. Herzog
and Water superintendent e. +. era
bill. who have personally supervised
the work.
