CITY PROJECTS GO WELL

Work on the disposal plants is COM
ing along well. The north-end plant
will be completed some time in June
and the southeast tank will be COM
pleted before the summer is over.
The two pumping plants are complet-
ed. Contractor Connolly has been
sadly interfered with by freight tieups
and lack of material.
Contractor Mullholland will be thru
with the sewer end of the job some
time in July. All that remains to be
dug is several small patches and the
long ditch up to the new well. The
city will then take up the matter of
digging the latterals-a big job that
is bound to convert all our roads into
a succession of bump bumps"
But its got to be endured, so smile
and take it good-naturedly.
The new well has been going along
in fine shape lately. They are through
the lime rock and are now going thru
sand at a. depth of about 240 feet.
They need good going to make up for
their bad luck when they hit crevice,
soft on one side and hard on the other,
that sent the drill sideways and held
them up for many days.

BOOSTS MUSIC IN THE ARMY

was made by General Pershng soon
after he took over the office Of chief of
staff. One of his first actions was to
transfer the school from Fort Jay, New
York, and direct that it be recognized
as Il "superband, comparable only to
the splendid band which was organ
lied In France" Mr. Damrosch at
first was opposed to the removal Of the
school from New York, believing stu
dents would have better advantages
to hear good music and study Il in New
York than In Washington. 1t was Mr..
Damrosch who organized the famous
"Pershngs own" at Chaumont head
quarters Of the American expedition

among the military bands of the allied
armies, and later was sent to tour the
United States during one Of the Liber-

Good Samaritan

Of various ways OF getting the money.
Matters went so far that Burger, eX-
asperated picked up a knife from the
table and stabbed John to death. This
happened in the presence of the lat
ters wife, Losing no time as to how
they should get rid Of the body, Bur-
ger suggested to Mrs. John that they
cut it up. Clearing the dining room
table, they put Johns body on it and,
while Burger went out after a saw,

the hendless body Of the victim, the
others an arm each, and made for the

were thrown into the river. The next
day they left for the Clamart Wood,
bearing with them, in two separate
sackings the head and legs of their
victim.
A few weeks later the trunk was
found some u miles out of Paris in

appeared. 1t was not until Is months
after that the murderers were found
