Two Investigations Started
ToFix The Responsibility

Two separate Investigations are
under way of the tragedy that oc-
CURED late this afternoon when the
hose cart of the Eagle Fire Com
pany crashed into an express train
at the Market street crossing.
City officials. local police, County
Prosecutor Stricken and detectives
of his staff visited the scene of the
crash to ascertain who was to blame
for one of the worst disasters in the
history of the city. Chief Tonnesen
was directin gthe investigation for
the local police.
The train which was strucq by the
hose cart was moved to sidire and
Coroner Edward Hanson gave per-
mission for the removal of5the bo-
dies and parts of the bodies of the
dead men to the undertaking estab-
lishment of Eugene Mullen and
Ferd Garretson. The trains which
had been blocked behind train 32G.
were allowed to go on their way and
the police kept close guard along
the tracks to prevent further fa-
talities.
1t is probable that an extra ses-
sion of the grand jury will be called
TO follow up the action taken by the
county prosecutor and local police
officials.

ACT FOR RELIEF
ON SEWERS At
STREET ENDS
Health Board Again Lays
Stress on Menace to
Health in That Way
UP TO THE ALDERMEN
Has Not Been Given Proper
Consideration, it is
Claimed
PLAN TO TRY AGAIN
At Low Tide Sewer Deposits
Remain Fully Exposed,
Board Claims

The health commissioners again
laid particular stress at their regu-
lar meeting last night upon the
sewers WHICH deposit their refuse
directly at the foot of many of the
streets which run north and south
and terminate at the bay. The mat
ter taken up with the Board of AL
dermen has not yet been given due
consideration in the opinion of the
members OF the Board of Health,
and the subject will be presented to
the aldermanic board more strong
ly until cogniZance is taken of the
condition At the present time, at
low tide, the sewer deposits remain
fully exposed and only at high wa
ter is the refuse washed down. The
Board of Health see no way of rem
edying the condition unless the
sewer pipes are extended farther
out into the bay so that the depos-
its may be carried away regardless
of the tide.
The health commissioners feel
very keenly on the matter as the
present condition. besides being par
ticularly unsightly is considered
great nuisance and detriment to
health.
A report was also made on the
new sewer installed on sheridan
street, where five lengths of pipe
are found to be leaking, the leak
ing running dowa over the ground
out into the river at a point which
is used for bathing purposes.
Reports Are Made

ing to the health officers report.
