resort to the spectacular methods sometimes
adopted by his recent predecessors for attract

incident in the United States Senate when
Mr. Marshall resented with some heat what he
considered an effort to shunt him into insignif-

OVERTURNED TAR TANK
CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE

Hot tar covered the intersection OF
Fourth avenue and Seventeenth street
yesterday afternoon and caused a
great deal of woe. The leading suffer
er from the convenience was the
Lewis Roofing company, which fur
nished the tar. Auto owners who hap
pened to pass that way Immediately
after the spill, and the employees and
patrons Of the Watch Tower street
car line also were considerably put
out"
Il all happened because a burr on a
wheel came of. The big tar tank
wagon OF the Lewis company was be-
ing hauled down Fourth avenue from
the plant. bearing hot tar for the paw
ing being laid on Seventh street. a
burr on the right rear wheel came of
at the point mentioned and the top
heavy tank wagon promptly overturn-
ed. The driver had time TO leap TO
safety. but the tar poured out of the
opening in the top OF The tank and
quickly covered the pavement
After some difficulty the wagon was
gotten of the car tracks. where It had
fallen. TIL this was done the Watch
Tower cars were forced to use the east
track. Then a tackle was rigged and
the big tank was hoisted TO an upright
position and the wheel returned to its
place.
In the meantime automobiles got
stuck in the yiscous tar and the street
car had a hard time OF it. Each car in
passing picked up a liberal supply of
tar on the wheels. After it had run
short distance the tar would soften
and then the wheels would slip. Cars
which had no sand had great difficulty
in moving
Il took n score OF men with axes
and shovels several hours TO gather up
the tar and place # in wagons 10 be
hauled back and reheated. After all
the Efforts a great deal OF it was left
sticking 70 the brick.
