The project was explained by Capt.

Capt. Talman outlined the plan
being formulated for a cooperative
community sewer system down Spout

ciples would be applicable to the
Long Branch project. The Spout Run
project provides for the formation OF
a main trunk line corporation and
local lateral companies, the latter to
finance the laterals and subscribe to
the building of the trunk line, the
companies to be non-pr profiting. Fl

the trunk line, Capt. Talman said

Report of the discharge of a shot
gun in the home of William H.
Clinkins. colored, 622 Tenth street
northeast, shortly after s o'clock yes
terday afternoon attracted attention
of neighbors and the police. and an
investigation made by the latter dis
closed an effort on part of Clinkins
to force his wife to assist in taking
his life.
Clinkins, 81 years old, had loaded
his gun and fastened a rope to the
trigger. Then he compelled his wife
to permit him to fasten the other
end of the rope to her leg. SO arrang-
ing it that when she started to walk
the weapon would be discharged and
the load sent into his body.
Mrs. Clinkins moved a little too
rapidly, stumbling and dischargi
the weapon before her husband
could take a position in front of 1t.
The charge shattered a window of
the Clinkins home, but did not touch
the man who thought he wanted to
die. Clinkins was taken to Gallinger
Hospital and detained for examina-
tion as to his mental condition.

The route adopted for the flight
runs through Biarritz and Lisbon, and
thence down the Southwestern Eu-
ropean and Western Coast of Africa,
a distance of more than $500 miles.

The airplane they are using is the

PROMOTION OF SHERRILL
TO BROADER REJECTED
Conference on War Department Bill
Act on Account Of Sentf-
ment in House.

The conference agreement between
the Senate and House committees on
the War Department appropriation
bill, reported to the House today,
shows that the proposal to grant
Lieut.. Col c. o. Sheriff., officer in
charge of public buildings and
grounds, a promotion to the rank of
brigadier general while he holds his
present Office as military aide to the
President, was rejected.
1t is understood that the confer
ence recognized the desirability of
granting temporarily the rank Of
brigadier general TO Lieut.. Col. Sher-
rill in present capacity, but that the
house sentiment at this time is such
that it would be impossible to get
this proposal approved. Therefore.
in order not to delay action on the
Army supply bill, those who faror the
temporary promotion of Col. Sheriff.
were turned down.
1t is understood that the Secretary
of War presented strong arguments
in support of the promotion.

STONE NOMINATION UP.

The report of the judiciary committee
approving for a second time the nom

a Supreme Court justice was before the
Senate today. with leaders prepared to
call it up and predictions of early IA
vorable action on the nomination.
While there appeared no obstacle to
early confirmation, the opposition had
not completely collapsed, and discussion
incident to the report, probably TO be
called UP in open executive session, was
expected to deal not only with the grand
jury proceedings here in the Wheeler
case, but also with the James A. Own

CASE IS STARTED

Justice Department Begins
| Presenting Evidence to
Grand Jury.

The Department of Justice today be-
gan its presentation to the special grand
jury of the District of Columbia of evil
dence gathered in an investigation of al
legged fraud in connection with the is
suance of prospecting permits for oil
and gas on public lands in Montana TO
the Gordon Campbell Co.
Connection of Burton K. Wheeler,
Senator from Montana and late candi-
date for Vice President on the Progress
sive ticket, with the issuance of these
permits is expected to be laid before the
grand jurors, and an opportunity has
been extended by Attorney General
Stone to Senator Wheeler to appear be-
fore the grand jury, waving immunity,
and make such explanation as he sees
fit of his relations with Gordon Camp
bell and with the obtaining Of the al
legged illegal permits.
Two witnesses were in attendance
when the grand jury met this morning,
and it Is expected they will testify to-
day. One was R. NJ. Houston of the
Bureau Of Investigation of the Depart
ment Of Justice, and the other was ]. S.
Swenson, a post office inspector from
Portland Greg. The purport of the teSti-
mony given by the two witnesses was,
of course, not obtainable, as both the
Government counsel and the witnesses
were not inclined to talk.
The presentation of the case to the
grand jury is in charge of w. J. Don
ovau, Assistant Attorney General. and
he is being assisted by Maj. Peyton
Gordon, United States attorney; John
S Pratt and oliver f. Pagan, special
assistants to the Attorney General.
Illness of Wilbur H. Zepp, the fore
man of the special grand jury, made
necessary the selection of an acting
foreman. Justice Hoehling appointed
David n. skinner, secretary of the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
to act as foreman until the recovery
of Mr.. Zepp.

mittee OF tha Senate and disclaimed

ator Wheeler, as charged by Senator

sci for Wheeler, intimated there will
be quite a number of witnesses to be
examined before the grand jury. Sew
eral days it is expected, will be de-
voted to the presentation of the evi-
dence before the grand jurors, on
which the Government relies to show
criminality in obtaining the permits

withstanding the recent treaties to
make 1t legal to seize vessels inside
the 12-mile limit. Also there are ma
tions which haven't signed such trea-
ties, and therefore the rum runners
can still fly variety of foreign flags.
Importation Is Problem.
The President and the cabinet are
agreed that one of the most inpor-
tant phases of the whole prohibition
question is the importation of liquor.
Although the Coast Guard Service has
been enlarged, it still is inadequate
to cope with the rum running on
coast lines as extensive as those of
the Atlantic and Pacific, Also the
Canadian. and Mexican borders are
hard to police.
No conclusions were reached by the
abinet as to a course of action. Sec
retary of State Hughes presented the
legal aspects of the question with
characteristic skill and showed where
in the British position was founded
on law and precedent.
Question of Good Will.
Again, therefore, the solution turns
not on a matter of legal right but
good will. If Great Britain can be
persuaded that it will adversely af-
feet the good feeling between the
peoples of the United States and the
British Empire to permit her ma
tionals to continue to engage in trade
that is aimed at the overthrow of
Americas prohibition experiment, an
amendment of existing British laws
might be made.
But the problem is what is known
as municipal law, and rests entirely
within the volition of the British and
other foreign governments.
Thus far foreign citizens have made
too much money out of the traffic to
sit by without protest and allow their
governments to restrict the right to
dispose of cargo en- route or on the
high seas, which have always been
regarded as free to all, virtually
without rsststetion.

Whether an ally would turn the
scales in their favor in their battle
against an epidemic of diphtheria,
whether freezing had destroyed the
value of the 100000 units of anti
toxin rushed here in a spectacular
| record breaking dog race, was the
question confronting Nome's one doc
tor and one nurse today as they
| awaited results from the first injec-
ton of the serum.
The entire lot was frozen solid upon
arrival yesterday but a portion was
! thawed out and quickly administered.
| Extreme precautions have been taken
| to prevent freezing of the 100, 600
units of anu-toxin en- route from
| Seattle.
Exhausted by his part in mushing
the last sixty miles into Nome with
! the serum, race that aided trem en-
! dously in cutting the time from a
record of nine days from Nenana to
Nome to five and a half days, Gun

/ His was a feat seldom equaled by

When Olsen's team trotted into
Bluff with the precious load, Kasson
| carried on despite temperature Of
| 28 degrees below zero and blizzard
| famed by a stiff wind. The storm
| and darkness prevented him meeting
Fred Rohn at Solomon for the last
I short relay dash into Nome. He kept
/ 4 i - a
| here at daybreak. Four dogs in his
team were badly frozen.
Rohn arrived before noon after he
learned Kasson had missed him.
Leonard Seppalla, undefeated mush-
er of the North, met a relay team at
Shaktolik, east of Norton Sound, and
| carried the antitoxin to Golofnin, on
| the north shore of Norton Sound.

race.

! which bore the brunt of the entire
| race.
Another precious package of serum
1 was shipped Saturday from Seattle on
/ the steamship Alameda to Seward.
From there it will travel to Nenana,
| on the Alaska Railroad, and then by
| airplane to Nome. The Alameda is due
| in Seward Thursday or Friday. The

after it reaches Seward, and Roy s.
