be very economical in their use of
water for the past week. The rise <of
the river put the pumping station out
OF commission until Wednesday, and
then the intake pipe became clogged
with the unusual amount of mud and
necessitated the laying of a. temporary
intake. This is now completed, and
Is furnishing water at the rate of 900
hundred gallons per minute, which
will altogether relieve the situation
until the regular pipe can be cleared.
The total damage caused by the

weeks compensation, or 50 weeks adj
dihonal. This was decided today by

oped that he has lost the sight of the

tained an injury to his back while in
the employ of the company on Jan.

sioner he did not think Duggan would
have taken pneumonia IF he had not
been injured Dr. George b. CoweIl
physician for the company, did not
agree. The commissioner reserved his
decision.

OF OWN HOME
Sensational Robbery In Cen.
ter of City Kept Secret
BY Police Department


Details of a sensational hold-up in
the heart of the city, suppressed by
the police for several days, became
known this afternoon.
Fred Datichy, janitor at the Bijou
theatre, Fairfield avenue, near Broad
street, was the victim. Two assaiI-
ants, one of whom the police have
only the most mea gre description.
made their escape
Datichy was on his way home, about
midnight, Saturday, with several bot
ties of beer. When he reached the
porch of his home, 26S Gilbert street,
he was set upon by the footpads who
attacked him with a blackjack. His
cries aroused his son, who ran out
in time to find his father on the porch,
beaten almost insensible.
Young Datichy helped his father into
the house. When he took inventory
he found that he had been relieved of
$1O.53.
