within the next three weeks. Commits
sioner Harry F. Bowman said to-day:
Il do not want to start the work
until L know l will be able to go right
ahead with out any interruption. Mar
ket street will not be started until aft
er Front street is completed. 1 do
not want Front or Market street torn
up during the Firemen's convention
and parade. 1t is my purpose to start
the work in the lower end of the CITY
and at such time as will permit me
to n Ike cleanup in Front street by
October"
In Market street the pipes will be
put down one half a block at a time.
AS the work progresses valves will be
put in. None of the pipes now IN
service will be removed. Connections
will be made between the new sixteen
inch and twelve inch pipes with those
now in servicc. Valves will be plac-
ed, three to four in a block This will
permit the introduction of high pres
sure when needed exclusively and at
the same time will not interfere with
the regular supply 1t will also per-
nit repairs without the necessity of
cutting off the supply.
Superintendent Bowman stated to-
day that he would not permit anv
service connections with the mains un-
less absolutely necessary.

Himself of All His
Financial Interests
By Assoeiated Prets

Washington. D, c., Aug. 12.-Paul
M. Warburg's testimony before the
Senate banking committee. made pub
lie to-day, revealed that as a member
of the new Federal Reserve Board he
will divest himself of every financial
interest. although not required by law
to do so.
Il am going to leave Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. and l am going to leave nv
Hamburg firm" Mr.. Warburg told the
committee "I am going to leave every
single corporation with which l am
connected More than that, I am go
ing to leave every educational and
philanthropic association with which
have been connected, because 1 think
a man who is on that Federal Reserve
Board ought to be like Caesars wife:
he ought to be above suspicion; he
ought to be without any entangling
alliances"
Mr.. Warburg also declared he in
tended to dispose of all his interests
in railroads, mentioning particularly
the Baltimore and Ohio. in which he
is a director.

Consumers Responsible
For Big Drop in Price
of Hogs in "a Hours

Chicago, Aug. 12.-It was admitted
at the stock yards that consumers agi-
tting against high prices had consid-
erable to do to-day with a fall of forty
to fifty cents per hundred weight in
the price of hogs as compared with
quotations "a hours before. In some
extreme cases, the drop since Monday
had been as much as a dollar.
Threats of a general boycott against
all kinds of pork had the effect of
lessening the demand from butchers.
At the same time the receipts of hogs
here were greatly enlarged. The ar
rivals to-day alone amounted to 10000
as against 10000 during the whole of
last week, when the supply was the
lowest in a quarter of a century.
Likelihood of widespread abstention
from beef and mutton as well as pork
was also taken notice of at the yards
To-day's prices for cattle, sheep and
lambs were down ten to fifteen cents.

Matter Will Likely Rest Until After
Officials Return From Third
Class City Convention

Actual work on carrying out the
provisions of the "Hardscrabble" ordi-
nance passed unanimously yesterday
afternoon by City Council may not be
started for several weeks. 1t is certain
that quite some time will be required
for City Solicitor Daniel S. Seitz to
prepare his plans for the legal acquisi-
ton of the properties in the section
effected by the measure.
The ordinance calls for the opening
of Front street from Herr street to
Calder street. Plans for the street
line will soon be submitted from the
city engineers department. Notice
of the passing of the measure will be
served on all property holders affect
ed.
The ordinance will go to Mayor
John K. Royal sometime to-day. 1t
must lay over ten days. AS City Soil
citor Seitz and Mayor Royal will at
tend the Third Glass City League con-
vention in Meadeville August 25-27 it
is probable that very little work will
be done on the plans until they re-
turn.
