Kenton, O.. July 21.-Another heavy
rain last night aggravated flood con-
ditions on the Scioto marsh to such
an extent that a mass meeting Of

SAY BANGOR SEWERS
SUPER|NT ENDENT HAS
NOW TOO MUCH POWER

Bangor, Me, July 21.-An amend
! ment has been drawn to the city ord.
nance governing the department OF
sewers. according to a member of the
sewer board. which will take away
most Of the powers Of the superintend.
ent. and make him subordinate to the
board. Under the present ordinance the
city solicitor has found that the sew
err board, aside from the right to
sign payrolls, has very little to do, and
the real authority lies with the super
intendent.
A difference Of opinion which arose
between the members of the board
and the superintendent led to the ap-
peal to the city solicitor to interpret
the ordinance, and the decision was
all in favor Of the superintendent.
The board, so it is said, is not con-
department by Supt. Seavey. and the
members claim that this is entirely
contrary to the method employed by
other superintendents so they are seek
ing to remedy the defect which APP
pears in the ordinance.
Mayor Robinson is making his plans
to improve the appearance of Central
street now that the new track work
| is finished and the wood paving has
commenced. Ever since the fire, when
| the street commissioner put up an old
wooden fence along the west side of
the bridge over the stream in front of
cit hoc 1of%
implanted. One Of the first things that
the mayor proposes to do is either re-
place that fence by an iron one or
paint it dark green. 1t should have
been given this attention long ago
On the other side and along the post
office site the mayor is anxious to put up
an iron fence running along the sides
of the old site and extending across the
bridges at each side.
The mayor also plans to have the sides
Of the bridges covered with boards so ar
ranged as to represent a concrete arch
similar to the Franklin street bridges
The improvements are simple and the
cost will be comparatively small.
The crew Of men that the Bangor Rail-
way e. Electric Co. has had on the Cen
trail street work has been transferred to
South Brewer. where 500 feet Of track
is being relaid near the Eastern Manu-
featuring Co. plant. As soon as that
work is done the company will send its
crew to Union street and double track
between Main and Fourth streets.
The conduit pipes for the underground
wires have been extended as far as Pol's
corner. although the first intention Of the
B. r. & E. Co. was to lay the conduits
from the sub-station on Park street only
as far as the Central street bridge.
The wire system of the company will
extend at this time by the new under
ground route to the Central building, ex-
tending later to Polls corner when con-
ditions warrant.

substance sometimes causes hair to

perf1uous hair when you use ordinary
mercoliZed wax. There is nothing better
for discolored skin, as the wax actually
absorbs the offensive cuticle. The latter
is naturally replaced by clear. smooth,

freckled, tanned, over-red. blotchy or
pimpled skin. Get an ounce of mercolizei
wax at any druggists and apply nightly
like cold cream, crasing in the morning
with soap and water. II takes a week or
so to complete the transformation.
The ideal wrinkle remover Is made by

OF BASEBALL POOLS

Cincinnati, July 21.-The National
Baseball Commission took official cog
nizance today of the so-called nation
wide baseball pool, which the post
office department at Washington has

ness in the case of Edward Hardy

promotion of a lottery.
The hearing was before United

it's conclusion held Hardy to the Sep
TENDER grand jury at Philadelphia
Pa, in bonds of $1,000. Secretary
Bruce in his testimony spoke of the
danger of the so-called pool to the
sport of baseball, and, as represen-
tative of the commission. requested
that it be eliminated.
Postoffice Inspector Frank Smith
Of Philadelphia, testified that the
Weekly World and the slips, alleged
to be a part of the pool, We're printed
at Allantown, Pa. He said that the
scheme had been worked out by a
professor of large university and per-
fected by. expert mathematician.
Smith estimated that the returns Sc
cured by the Office at Allantown
amounted to about $4,000 a week. He
declared that the winning numbers
were arranged so that there would be
but little opportunity for the holders
of the slips to win large amounts.

. This law is for the purpose Of pro-
tecting the. lobster industry by compell-
ing men to throw back illegal short lob
sters. Mr.. Woodbury. said that the State
will be provided with two patrol boats
and each boat will be manned with from
four to six wardens to see that the law
is enforced.
According to this law the fishermen
must have their names and their license
numbers on their fishing pots and traps
and their buoys. This new license law
will not effect the old lobster law; offend
ers will be obliged to pay for all short
Holsters found in their possession as pro-
vided by the old law and will also be
dealt with under the new law.
Mr.. Woodbury. stated that he hopes to
have the forms for the applications and
licenses ready by the last Of this month
The delay in this work was owing to the
referendum on the lobster license law
which failed to pass.

WHITE SOx PRESIDENT
TAKES HAND IN THE

Chicago, July 21.-President Conlis-
key of the Chicago Americans said to-
day he would protest to President
suspension Of Manager Rowland, who
according to the White Sox magnate
has been all season the victim Of the
worst umpiring he has ever seen in
the American League"
The charge was first made that
Rowland was suspended for profan-
ity, but Comiskey said that later the
umpires admitted that the suspension
was caused by Rowlands lack OF
speed in leaving the field when ordered
to do SO.
Poor umpiring has cost my club
seven or eight games this year." said
Comiskey. 1T looks to me as though
Rowland is being made a mark. Um-
pires have called balks on my pitch
ers' in Detroit but failed to do so when
they made the same motions in st.
Louis: they beat US out of q clean tri-
pie play when we were IN Boston;
last Monday Mayer was hit by a pitch
ed ball, but was not allowed to go to
first base because the umpire said
he allowed himself Intentionally to be
hit
1.-THE chasing Of Rowland was sense
less. He went out to protest, as he
had a right to do. and as 1 would ex-
pect him to do. He told me he didn't
swear until after he had been thrown
out Of the game.
II expect to protest against the sus-
pension and try to get q square deal
for my team"
