Two sewer hearings Monday night before the public works committee in the common council chamber develop Cd vigorous opposition and protest on the part of property owners who, 1t had been indicated, were adjudged benefited ana m7gnt be expected to be assessed for the costs of the sewers.
 The three members of the public works committee, Alderman M. IL Hourigan, Councilrnen Joseph F. Will present when the first hearing was opened at s o'clock upon a. sewer that has been built in Thames street from a point opposite Elizabeth Mur- phys property to Pages lane. This was st a cost of s190.09. The prop erty owners benentted according to the report of the committee, were Elizabeth Murphy, Charlotte J. Com stock and Mary A Comstock on the easterly side of Thames street and Annie CuSsen Ladd, Thomas Murphy and John Murphy on the westerly side of Thames street
 Former Police Chief John Murphy was first to speak when the hearing was opened, saying he had never known or been consulted about the petition and he would like to know who circulated the petition. Edward T. Ladd of No. 99 Thames street who Was in the council chamber said he was the man who circulated the petition.
 MT. Murphy said he owned more property than any one on the street and he thought it was a pretty way to do to sneak in a petition and never consult those people most interested
 Here was a man whose property was | assessed at $500 who had got Signers on the petition who don't own one cents worth Of property on one side of the street or the other. This pc T 5arn G6 n l erty owners on the street which now 1 has sewers on each side.
 The former chief grew warm and ! earnest in his argument as he said that i his own property was already sui. 1 fcientIy connected with the sewer and this man Ladd should be the on6 1 to pay the whole cost for the, new 1 sewer if he wanted it so badly | wasn't fair for Mir. Ladd's desire tC

 spoke of the house he owns next t. l the Ladd house and it had all th' 1 sewer that was needed He didn' l want to be assessed for the new sewer He was not benefited one bit, Form CT Chief Murphy again stated and i wasn't justice to make him pay fo something from which he obtained II benefit.
 Mrs. N. A. Constock said her prop erty was severed into the river am was below the sewer anyway so tha she could not benefit from the ney
 sewer and didn't want to pay any l thing.
 MT. Ladd, the chief petitioner. sai his property was a nuisance to tn nefghbors because of it's lack of sewe connections and he had heard com plaints from the neighbors. MT. Lad denied that he had sneaked the peti
 tion around but he went to see Thoma Murphy whom he understood wa Chief Murphys agent Thomas Mur phy had told him he could not sig the petition

Quickly Relieves
 Without Distress

The congestion of waste and refuse from the stomach. fer menting in the bowels, generates poisonous gases that occasion distress and invite serious ill., ness. Health and comfort de- mand that this congestion be speedily relieved and the foul mass expelled.
 The we'll founded objection most people have to the violence of cathartic and purgatiVe agents is overcome by using the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin.

A street suit, cut on conservative
lines, which manages to be up to the
minute in its style, deserves more
than passing glance. The attrac.
tive suit shown here accomplishes
these things and compels attention be-
cause of its excellence. There is ev-
cry reason for buying good material
in suits that must stand much wear,
and every reason to expect them to
outlast a single season and come in
handy for "knockabout" wear sec
ond season.
In the suit pictured, made of serge,
the skirt is moderately wide with the
fullness laid in broad plaits at each
side. 1t is little longer than ankle
length and finished with a three-inch
hem. II Is cut with high waist line,
to be worn without belt, and is fitted
about the hips.
The jacket is cut with straight lines
like box coat and is confined in a
high waist line by narrow belt of
the material. The front shows small
cutaway with little "V"-shaped vest
set in, having its point at the bust
line. There are no revers, but the
neck Is finished with a collar of silk,
wired to roll gracefully
The belt fastens with n plain metal
buckle and is cut at the front to sim

were injured by jumping on and off
trains in motion on the Panama rail-
road. There were on the zone police
force many West Indians who were
trained and capable men, but incurab-

next day two West Indian policemen
brought into a police station white
man who was struggling freely TO
break away from them.
What have you arrested him for?"
asked the police sergeant who was on
duty.

tening These are finished with a
small metal button. Three of the
same kind of buttons finish the narrow
turned-back cuffs that are outlined
with piping of the serge.
When the material for suit OF this
kind is bought 1t is good idea to buy

for altering or remodeling comes this
will be available for changes in style
and the replacing of cuffs, collar or

Worn with this comfortable street
suit are equally comfortable and smart

appear. In summer weather these
are left off. The strictly tailored
