MORE HOMES NEEDED.

What are we going to do for the
hundreds of people here who are seek
ing homes or places to live?
How are we going to care for the
many more who have written here for
homes and who found none for rent
and few offered for sale?
What are we going to do for the
people who are seeking rooms for
MISUNDERSTANDING, accommodation,
for living, anything for a place of
shelter?
This is getting to be an acute prob
lem-It must be solved if Columbus
would continue to grow, and the the
only solution of it is more houses.
which must be built.
Won't some of our men of means
organize a company to undertake the
construction of more homes?
Is the Building and Savings Asso-
citation in a position to build more
homes? If so, it should finance
them for the people who would like to
build,
Let's solve this problem. People
must be provided for.

Some reports have been heard by
city officers recently OF certain boot
leggers who have been selling water
for whiskey and getting away before
the purchaser knew what he had pur-
chased. A man who is believed to
have been pulling off these stunts
was arrested by Officer Nuzum last
night and at the session of police
court this morning was turned over to
county authorities. 2he man was col
ored and gave the I.;.Ine OF James K.
Williams.
When arrested by officer Nuzum he
carried two pint bottles of what was
supposed tt be whiskey. One of the
bottles had the "old Broclpor" odor
but upon examination was found to
contain water.
At court this morning he refused to
tell from whom he had purchased the
whiskey but told that it had come
from Jackson street. Later he told he
had purchased the booze from Lee
Bostic. Officers are inclined to be-
lieve that he did not buy the booze
from Bostic but instead is the travel
ing salesman for another jackson
street bootlegger establishment.

Eighty-Three Men Are Now
Dead Following Yes
terday's Blast.

wILKEs-BARRE, Pa, June g.
State and local authorities today were
conducting separate investigations
into the explosion in tunnel of the
Delaware and Hudson Coal company
yesterday that cost the life of SO men
and the injury to so others. A large
number of the injured were seriously
burned and it is feared many of them
cannot recover.
There was a difference of opinion
as to the exact cause of the accident
which occurred while the men were
on their way to work in train of four
teen mine cars drawn by an electric
motor. In the middle of the train were
two cars containing seven kegs of
black powder. According to surviv-
ors tile overhead trolley wire sagged,
and when the train had penetrated
the tunnel about 200 feet and touched
a steel powder gek forming short
circuit ana setting of the powder. OF.
ficials of the company after an inves-
tigation expressed the opinion that a
steel bar or drill carried by one of the
me ncame III contact with the wire
forming the short circuit which caused
the powder to give way.
