new SEWER IS
CAVED NEAR THE
MILL LOCATION
Easements Flooded and Old Con-
troversy Concerning Sewers
Is Renewed.
SIX-FOOT SEWER is
SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED
Steps Being Taken to Remedy
Conditions Which Are Caus-
ing Inconvenience.

A cave Of nearly 20 feet in the new
six-foot sewer at the Scanlon loca-
ton, directly opposite the detention
hospital has seriously impaired its
efficiency following several days of
more than normal precipitation and
flooded Easements in several sections
Of the city resulted today in much
complaint from Chestnut street ten
ants and property owners and Incl
dentally had the effect of renewing
the sewer construction controversy,
which last winter divided the city
council and resulted in several stormy
sessions. ~
Since the six-foot sewer went into
service the city's storm sewer system
has been somewhat changed. With
this sewer practically out of commits
sion, as it was reported to be this
morning, the sanitary sewer is the
only line that is adequately taking
care Of both the sanitary sewage and
storm water. This is held in some
quarters to account for the fact that
water is backing up into the base
ments, while in others defective con-
struction which allows surface water

be responsible.
The cave in the six foot sewer is of
a nature that would indicate that be-
tween 20 and 80 feet of the sewer had
completely collapsed. However, this
morning when several manholes were
opened the water was found to be
running. City Engineer Johnson de-
clared it's efficiency had not been en-
tirely impaired and said the necessary
repairs would be made as soon as pos
sible.
There seems to be little doubt, how
ever, that if heavy rains were to be
continued for an unusual period the
business district Of the city would be
subjected to considerable damage from
flooded Easements.
The city officials are doing every
thing possible to remedy conditions
today.

Rev. Hugo Thorene Finds That

Rev. Hugo Thorene, we'll known Vir-

He searched high and low for his pet,

dawned upon him that advertising in

An ad was placed in the Enterprises

1t is believed the ad had the proper

The following telegram was sent by
the Russian to the German Emperor
on the evening of July 20 last year:
Ehank for thy conciliatory and
friendly telegram; whereas the official
cor rnunications' made today by tiny
Ambassador to my Minister were
fra lined in very different tone. Pray
explain the difference. 1t would be
morG correct to submit the Austrian
Serbian problem to The Hague Con-
ference.
This telegram did not appear with
other kilograms passed between the
two soyeRigns and printed in the Ger
man white Book" issued after the
out Ereak Of war. The world knew
not M of it until weeks later it was
give ouE.at Petrograd. Now that 1t
can no longer be suppressed, it is in
nf6ed in a German Blue Book" just
[blished.
THE Kaiser in his reply ignored the
@Czars suggestion of a reference of the
/, Austro-S Serbian problem to The Hague

Aiand's suggestion of arbitration sup
ported by France and Italy. Serbia,
bitter yielding to all Of Austria's de-
pands save two. offered to arbitrate
