SEWER TUNNEL

CHICAGO, H., July 14.-RJ-
Bodies Of three men were taken this
afternoon from the underground
tomb, a new mile long sewer tun-
mel where they were trepped by a
flood Of water just before last mid
night.
Fear that four other workmen
had met death by the triple menace
Of drowning, asphyxiation or cleo
t~rocution was abandoned after .
squad Of firemen searched the tun-
mel and found only three bodies.
Four of the men who were work
ing in the bore. had not claimed the
clothes and lunch pals they left
above the ground this afternoon and
this led authorities to believe they
were among the victims.
Arrest Of Richard Heating, a sani-
tary district employee who, through
an error. is believed TO have turned
on the valve that loosed the flood
was ordered.
The hero OF the tragedy was the
gang STRAW" boss. Carl Chiaro. He
heard the cries Of warning as the
flood came roaring down the tube,
heard the scramble for the ladder
and was himself the first to reach
safety. Then came a thought OF
his men, swirling away to death,
He climbed down the ladder. hauled
seven men. one after another, up to
the surface and then went down to
be swept into the torrent.
