Peeyed Buchanan Told to Cut
His Dogs Loose.
White House Makes Public
"Peace COunciI'' Letters.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The White
House today made public correspond
ence with Representative Buchanan,
of Illinois, who asked for a confer
ence with President Wilson for 1abor's
national peace council and who, when
it was refused on the ground that the
president had no time for other than
international affairs, wrote Secretary
Tumulty that the refusal was 'tanta~
mount to a declaration that the presi-
dent is more concerned about the de-
sires of big business than he is to dis
cover the heartfelt sympathy of the
common people"
Buchanan added that if he could
not see the president he would issue
an open letter to the American peo-
pie. Secretary Tumulty wrote Buch-
anan ne resented the tone of his let
ter and the "unwarranted differences"
drawn by the presidents inability to
see him.
LAS far as I am concerned" wrote
Mr.. Tumulty, there is no objection
to any statement you may desire to
make public in this matter"

Residents of the Eastside know all
about the Peppmyer dam. Some know
even more than they might admit
The dam went OUT last night. But
neither flood nor high water carried
It away. Dynamite might have been
used, but those who viewed the ruins
today were not certain just what had
happened. There were not ruins
enough to tell. The only reason for
believing that dynamite was used is
that dynamite was more or less openly
discussed as a, means for quick action,
made.
The Peppnyer dam was really very
small affair considering the amount
of attention it received. 1t was To-
Gated on Shunganunga creek near
Tenth street. H. L. Peppmyer, who
has a cool yard located near
Tenth street and the Shunganunga,
made a deal with the Eastside Drain
age board, whereby Peppmyer was to
receive two and one-third acres of
ground from the drainage board for
cutting a canal $50 feet across a neck
of land, changing the course of the
creek. The purpose of the dam was to
divert tn ewater into the new channel.
The dam was sixteen feet long and
four feet high.
and George Burnam, chairman of the
and the latter agreed to cease work
on the dam. That the dam, which had
not been completed, had been de-
stroyed, was discovered today. 1t is
believed the work was done Sunday
night.
