 "Oh, men, oh, men, what are you doing?". the witness quoted Hoffman a ssaying.
 If you have ever said your prayers say them now d. you, for you wont have much longer he testified an unidentified leader of the mob told the prisoners just before they were shot down.
 Asked if he could tell who did the shooting, Dr. Shipman named Joe Car naghi and Leva Mann, two of the de- fendants now on trial, and Percy Hall and Jim Galligan, who have been in- dicted but who are not defendants in the present case.
 Under the longest and 'severest cross examination yet given any states witnesses, Dr. Shipmans said that he had represented coal com- panies in about 100" claims cases in the past three years. He denied, how ever, that he was prejudiced against the miners and said he had represent ed three or four'i miners in suits.

WASHINGTON, Decs 1S.-Adjust. ment of the reparations dispute be- tween London and Paris is the crux Of the European tangle, in the Amer lcan viewpoint, as stated here today on competent authrity. Talk of any American loan to Germany was des- scribed as idle" until such an ad- lustment had been made.
 It was also made clear that the question of allied war debts to the United States is not viewed in Wash ington as involved in the anglo French differences as to the amount Germany can pay. Beyond this, of ficial spokesmen refused to go, in outlining what the Washington gov ernment had in mind There was no hint as to the purpose or progress of informal discussions with allied leaders which have been indicated both here and abroad to be under way. No answer was returned to inquiries as to whether Germany had again sought American interven- ton in the reparations difficulty.

DENVER, Dec. 1S.-Every peace officer in Colorado tonight is comb ing the highways leading from Denver in search of the masked bandits who shortly after 10:40 o'clock this morn- ing shot and killed Charles Linton, uard of the Denver branch of the Kansas City federal reserve bank, stole $200,000 in paper money and es- capped after staging gun fight with armed guards on duty at the United tSates mint. The money was being transferred from the mint to a de livery truck of the reserve bank standing at the curb and was in fifty packages each containing s4,0O0. All Of the money was in S5 denomina- tions. Chief of Police Williams an- nounced that Denver police were guarding all roads leading out of the city but that he believed the bandits still were hiding in Denver Orders issued to policemen by Chief Will jams said:
 Stop every car on every road out of Denver and make every man ac- count for himself-and shoot if you find the robbers"
 Police expect 10 be aided in their search for the bandits by the fact that one-apparently the leader-was shot seriously, if not mortally, but a government guard on duty at the mint as he turned to fire a final volley at the guards as the bandit car sped away from the scene of the holdup. A speeding automobile car rying seven men, two wearing masks and one dropping over the edge of the machine. bleeding profusely was reported to police as having been seen speeding northward out of the city shortly after the robbery. PO- lice riot cars have been dispatched in pursuit of the car.
 The disregard of the bandits for human life marks the robbery, ac- cording to police as one of the boldest in police annals. With shotguns. two of the ban dits bombarded the front door of the mint as they leaped from their au- tomobile. Fifty employees of the mint summoned by an alarm bell seized shotguns and rushed to the doors and windows of the mint shoot ing at the bandits who returned their

another meeting of state executives might be called in the coming year at which time the subject would be canvassed more thoroughly.
 According to some of those who attended there was no suggestion raised during the conference which indicated belief that the sisdation might be helped by loosening the present stringent enforcement statue. To the contrary, it was said. the prevalent opinion seemed to have been that imposition of more severe fines and prison terms on conviction of violation would assist the enforce ment officials in their tasks.

 Fate of the remaining four missing persons was not revealed in the cryptic dispatch flashed by the Gray's wireless. Search for them is being continued Those rescued in- clude Captain D. A.

When they left the sinking tug none of the men had food fuel Or firearms. The isle on which they landed is practically barren and uninhabitated except for a few huts left by In dians and trappers in past seasons.
 It probably will be late tomorrow before the tugs can return to this port with the survivors because of the ice in Lake Superior. Physicians and medical supplies. together with food and fuel were taken aboard the resuce tugs before they started to fight their way through the ice Hoes to the wreck scene.
 The wrecking of the Reliance was the result of a gamble with fate on the part of those aboard the tug. After lying to in a sheltered cove

making it necessary to guard against
cave-ins in the trench, that not only
would have been a costly obstacle t.
construction, but would have permit
ted business buildings along the
property line to settle. At one place
where solid rock was encountered. a
charge of powder caused concern as
to whether several large buildings
were not menaced. There was a
cave-in Of the loose gravel, and the
way in which it was controlled was
a feature largely played in the news
papers. The same gravel made it
necessary to drive piles in the bot
ON of the trench to prevent settling
place.
Replace Old Sewer
Among the handicaps met up with
was the 20-inch sewer pipe which the
new sewer replaced, and which must
be kept in continuous operation at full
capacity. Electric pumps hoisted the
sewage to the street level and carried

newly completed concrete pipe. which
conveyed ii to the Spokane river. The
old pipe was both a drainage and
sanitary and stoppage of only a
few minutes would have flooded
numerous easements with the sewage,
| causing large property losses. To
guard against extra drainage emerg-
encies that might arise from rains, a
steel pipe always was kept in the
trench.
A 10000 pound manhole once was
suspended while the new sewer was
built beneath it, without cracking the
pavement. Telephone. telegraph, power
and gas condrits honeycombed the
| ground, and in addition there were the
systems of water and heat mains.
Connection was made with all Of these
! services without ~interrupting the serv-
ice. A portion of the distance the
bottom of the trench was 10 feet be-
low the level Of the Spokane river,
seepage occurring to an extent that
seriously retarded the work.
Twelve thousand yards of paving
were taken up and replaced. Ten thou

Finished with the construction of
Spokane's new intercepting sewer, Il
of the largest municipal contracts of
the kind let in the northwest in re-
cent years, o. Z. Miracle, president of
the Miracle Concrete corporation of
Great Falls, has returned here and
will make his headquarters in the city
during the winter. While in progress,
the contract occupied pages Of space
in the Spokane newspapers, COM
manded the attention Of municipal Of
ficials in half a dozen states and was
widely commented upon In technical
and trade publications.
Before leaving Spokane. Miracle
was present at n city council session
At which the work was formally ac-
cepted, and received full payment for
the contract-$318,000 The contract
before it officially was awarded to the
Great Falls firm. Although its pro
posal was the lowest, circumstances
arising out of the keen competition
for the work prevented the company
from procuring the required surety
bond for 80 days and it was not until
after that period that the contract was
let. Then began a maze Of e~LEiheer-
ing difficulties that made skeptics ont
o. virtually every contractor who
knew the details.
Impossible Job
Throughout the northwest went the
report that Miracle had undertaken
an impossible job at a price that
would not cover the cost, and many
men highly scienced in work Of the
kind waited to see how long it would
be before the company admitted it.
The sewer was 5,130 feet in length
and was laid through the heart Of
the Spokane business district. The
pipe installed was pre-cast concrete,
varying from SO to 80 inches in
diameter. Two great obstacles were
encountered at the beginning, and
continued through much of the work.
These were the nature of the ground
In which the trench was dug and a
maze of underground service extern
sions. Many of the devices used to
make construction possible were in
vented on the spot by the engineering
force.
Everything conspired to make this
job one that would be a nightmare
to the engineer in charge" wrote
