MOVE TO IMPEACH
MAYOR NOT KILLED
Raub Insists Committee Act
Despite Bartholomew
Weakening.

City council will be forced to take
definite action on impeachment
charges against Mayor Duvall and
City Controller William c. Buser
despite announcement by Otis E.
Bartholomew, sponsor of the bill,
Friday that he will withdraw his
name from the measure, Council
man Edward B. Raub declared to-
day.
Raub, who added his name to the
bill to insure its introduction at
council meeting two weeks ago, said
they certainly will have to" when
asked If he would insist on action
by the whole body.
Il put my name on the resolution
before to keep it from being
dropped" Raub said. He will not
seek to remove it now, he declared.
Bartholomew Would Stcy
Bartholomew told the special in
yestigation committee members
holding their second meeting in the
council chambers Friday night, that
ne would withdraw his name from
the resolution at next council meet
ing, Sept. S.
Trial Of the case would be "a
farce" since other members who
helped sponsor the move have with
drawn their support for some un-
known reason, Bartholomew de-
clared. Attorneys in the case have
lost faith in the council, he said.
i haven't any more chance than
the Man In the Moon in setting
the charges successfully prosecuted"
he said after the committee meet
ing.
Motive Speculation
That something" is back Of the
changed attitude of several council
men is indicated in talk around city
hall. The police shake-up, rumored
recently, which did not take place.
is connected by some with the new
councilmanic lineup.
The special investigation commit
tee will meet again Monday at 7:30
p. m, Claude Negley, chairman, an
nounced after the twenty minute
session Friday. Decision to recess
the session until Mopday was made
when Millard w. Ferguson mem
Der. failed to appear.
1t would be unwise to head off
the investigation prematurely, saii
Robert E. Springsteen, member IF
the committee who favors thorough
probing of the charges.
There is resolution before us
and I presume the committee win
continue to meet until it is ready
to return report he declared.
Mayor Should Insist
THE city and some individuals
have been put in a bad light by the
charges and the only way to vindi-
cate lies is through complete in
vestigation and report"

Rescue, Man Buried Alice
i'm Well for 80 Hours
Arm Partially ParaIyzed;
Body Bruises Remain to-
Remind of Experiences.

By United Press
WORCESTER, Mass, Aug. 27-
With his right arm partially
paralyzed and a few body bruises,
Fred Leneau, 81, of Aueurn. was
responding to electrical treatment in
the Worcester city hospital today
after being buried alive for thirty
hours at the bottom of a forty-foot
well.
Leneau was pulled out of firmly
packed soil and timber debris early
this morning and brought to the
surface by life belt and rope.
A crowd of 10000, who had
watched the rescue work.
Leneau was standing at the bot
tom of the we'll he had dug when,
at 7:30 p. m. Thursday, the walls
caved in.
Several strips of timber with which
he had boarded the sides fell into
such a position just above his head
as to prevent the full force of the
tons of earth from falling on him.
Gets Oxygen Through Hose
A garden hose was slipped down
to him between interstices in the
strips of lumber.
Oxygen was fed through the hose.
Fear of new cave-ins, which would
crush Leneau, hampered rescuers.
A new shaft was sunk. A hole was
cut leading from the shaft to. the
we'll near where Lenau was believed
to be pinioned.
At 5:45 p. m. Friday several of the
workers who had climbed through
the hole from the shaft to- the we'll
and succeeded in freeing Leneau's
arms. He had been buried up to his
neck.
Pass Hat for Family
Two new caveins occurred in
rapid succession. Workers continue
their rescue efforts frantically.
Electric pads were inserted to fur
nish Leneau with heat. an electric
light to detract from the gloom. A
fresh supply of oxygen was turned
on.
Some one passed a hat for Le-
neau's family and $3.50 was dropped
into it.
BY 8 p. m. the setback Of the last
two caveins had been almost over
come.
An hour later another cavein oc-
Cured.
The police surgeon went down
into the shaft again, stuck his head
through the hole leading into the
well, and asked Leneau if he wanted
something to eat.
Glad That's Over
"No," he replied in a weak voice
"Get me out of here"
The hat was passed again. Three
hundred and fifty dollars was added,
making total of $500 for the fam
lily.
A hundred men under f1oodlights
worked on. At IL p. m. Leneau was
handed cup of coffee and he
slipped it. 1t was the first in twen-
ty-seven hours.
Two hours later Leneau's head
emerged from the shaft which had
been dug TO rescue him.
God, I'm glad that's over" he
said in weak voice. IT hope 1t
never happens again" ~

new CONCRETE
PAVING RULES
CALLED TRICK
Attempt to Freeze Out
Rivals of Asphalt Bid
derS Seen.
WOODEN BLOCKS TABOO
Portland Cement Agent
Says Requirements Are
Excessive.

Attempts to "freeze out" bidders
on concrete for future city street
improvements is seen by concrete
men In the board of works action
Friday In placing concrete among
approved materials for paving.
Wooden block was removed by the
change.
Specifications for concrete con-
struction were raised from the usual
eight-inch thickness with forty-two
pounds Of steel reinforcement for.
each hundred square feet. New re-
quirements call for nine-inch
thickness with sixty-seven pounds
of steel.
Contractors for concrete work
claim the higher standards are
unusual and excessive.
Trickery Charged
'The only place such requirements
would be necessary is around q
freight house or in other places
where traffic is extremely heavy"
Walter Krull, representative Of
Portland Cement Association, said.
Purpose of the move is obvious,
Krull said. att is simply a trick
of the trade to allow the asphalt
people to make money. George
Schmidt, first Duvall engineer, tried
it,"
The change will boost bids for con-
crete paving 20 to rs per cent, he
estimated This means about a So
cent increase on square yard, or
about eight cents more for a lineal
foot along property lines of a thirty
foot street.
Others Benefit
other competitive materials will
be benefited by placing concrete re-
quircn.ents in such position, Krull
said. Asphalt people will be better
d, able to get city contracts for paving,
as property owners will prefer it to
the high price concrete.
Paul r. Brown. city engineer, rec
commended adoption of the material
with higher standards. He conferred
with members of the board and
Mayor Duvall before the move was
made, he said. Duvall did not ask
the change, he said
IT have no objections to it," May
or Duvall stated. He admitted that
something was said about it" in a
talk with Brown.
Virgil Vandagrifft, board presi-
dent, said he would not have IA
vored placing concrete, with the old
requirements, on the approved list.
That prices would be increased was
not denied by members. They
pointed out that better streets would
be the result and that wooden block
was a thing Of the past for paving
purposes.
Petition System Hit
Property owners desiring concrete
streets in the past have been re-
quired to file petition within ten
days after an improvement resolution
passed the board. Elimination of
the petition system was pointed to
by officials as a favorable move.
Instead Of the board letting the
people get what they want, it is a
case of keeping them from getting
it," Krull answered.
Concrete was removed from the
approved list soon after the present
board members took office while
Frank Ligenfelter was third Duvall
city engineer. The former board re-
fused to remove the material at
Ligenfelter's request and a break
with the mayor followed.
