Extent Of the damage has not been
ascertained. When the level of the
creek lowers some, the mouth of the
sewer may be damned and the back
water pumped out. Then the source
of the trouble will be sought with the
aid of powerful electric lamps.
If it is found that quick sand is
the cause of the trouble, 1t may cost
many thousands of dollars to repair
the conduit, it was said 1t is pos
sible, according to officials, that the
repair can not be made from inside
the sewer, but that an excavation will
have to be made from the boulevard
surface. About the only way to sue
cessfully carry the sewer across the
quicksand deposit, If there is one at
the trouble point, is upon big pom
toons, since there is no other prac-
tical method of getting a foundation
In quicksand in a case of this kind,
engineers say.

The sewer now Is filed with about
four feet of water, which has backed
up from Fall Creek. In order to get
to the point where it was thought
there might be trouble, workmen
used a boat. sounding the bottom OF
the pipe as they went. When they
reached a point about three hundred
feet from the creek, which is under
the spot where the boulevard has been
sinking they could not find the bot

that the sewer was built across a de-
posit Of quick sand at this point or
that the earth settled. As the bot

the sides of the sewer into the hole
into which the sewer floor apparently
has gone This accounted for the set

NO MARTIAL LAW ORDER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-NO decision
has yet been reached to declare martial
law in West Virginia, Secretary of War
WeolSs announced this afternoon after
the Cabinet meeting.
The proclamation OF martial law now
depends on the recommendations Of Gen.
eraI Bandholtz, the Secretary said.
The President has approved all action
taken with regard to the West Virginia
situation thus far. the Secretary said.
A technical question to the authority
of the President to declare martial law
is partly responsible for the delay by the
Administration In prOclaiming martial
law, it was learned Legal experts have
advised the Administration of a decision
OF the United States Supreme Court in
ovexturning military death sentence
approved by tho President In the case
ex-parte. Mllllgan, Indiana. In this de-
cisiOn the courts held that martial rule
can never exist where courts are open
In the properly and unobstructed exercise
of their Jurisdiction"
Discussion of this decision is under
stood to have been brought up before the
Cabinet today.

in Racine Branch.

Representatives of the Kenosha
branch of the Cooperative Societies
of America denied the rumors eman-
ating from Racine that stock holders

made requests to have their money
withdrawn from the company. They
branded the runor as merely news

were being taken to put the company
in operation there as quickly as pos
sible.
'The delay there has been occasion
ed by the fact that big deal is un-
derway," explained one of the sales
men of the local organization. at is
a deal so big that it will astound both
Kenosha and Racine and until it has
been closed no steps can be taken to
open a store in Racine"

with the attorney general had been
patched up and that a plan had been
worked out for the statesmen to con-
tinue the sale Of the stock of the con
Germ within legal means.
