Fire D epartm t m e nt Pumper Called Into Action to Fight Flood Which Menaces Part of Relief Project- Sandbags Piled Up.
Water Gouges Out Earth Separating Trench From Residences-20-Inch Wa ter Main in Danger Public Works Depart ment Force Hustles.

A broken storm water sewer main threatened the safety of sev- cral dwellings when baclfow of on Monroe street this morning, rain water filled deep excavations breaking away the earthcn wall pro- tccting 20-inch water main on one eide of the narrow aisle of protection between the trench and residence on the other.
 City Engineer Philip A. Merriam, Street Superintendent Joseph NJ O'Bricn and Public Works Commits sioner ?. Alfred Johnson were in- formed of the break carly and hur- ried to direct the work of placing sandbags to check the rush of water past a steam shovel anchored in the trench and into the concrete culvert being constructed as a part of the Willow Brook flood relief plan.
 Big Water Main Menaced
 This having been accomplished 10 8 point where only seepage flowed from the main line, increased some what by the overflow at this and other points. a small capacity pump was installed 10 draw the water out of the trench and into the brook flowing directly south between Mad ison and Linwood streets. Under the beating rain, the soft earth contin- ucd to drop away, lessening the dis tanco between the excavation and the water main, threatening to break away the entire layer, an evchtuality which would be certain 10 snap the main and greatly conl- pliCatc the problems, Engineer Mer- | ian reasoned.
 Fire Dept. Pumper Used He communicated with the fire board and Chief William J. Noble who, after conference with public works officials. ordered Engine Co.
 2 to Monroe street, with pump capable of clearing 750 gallons of water each minute. After more than an hour of work it was evident that the small pump would be sufficient to keep the storm water sewer flow below the danger point.
 Today marked the first use of fire department pump for purposes other than fire fighting in many years. It was at one time the prac- ticc of the department to send en- zines to pump out cellars and other accumulations of water whenever requested, but several hundred dol lars damage was done to a machine through grit and refuse getting into the gears in a cellar job some years ago, and requests for this service | have been refused since that time The likelihood of heavy money dam ages against the city and the possi- Dility of a serious break in the water service which would have entailed an outlay of thousands of dollars had the request been turned down today, prompted departure from this rule, the fire commission explained

Lafayette R. Chamberlain, who helped the search.
 Partial identification of the black mailer had been gained already from clerks who had handled telegraphed

 Neighbors

An agreement relative to a pass way between Main street properties, drawn in 1852. was the subject of a recent suit in the court of com- mon pleas and in a decision which was made public today, the defend- ant, The Ashley -LaDgrocii Co.,, was given judgment. The suit was brought by neighboring property owners, Dr. Nathan Jaffc and J.. Eisenberg.
 During the reconstruction of the defendants building about a year ago it was necessary that fire es- capes and areaways be constructed on the passway which is jointly owned by both parties. The de- fendants claimed the construction was done in such q way that it did not interfere with the passway.
 After the work was completed. pr. Jaffc and MT. Eisonbcrg brought suit to restrain the dcf.ndants from maintaining the changes claiming that these were not made within the specified passway uses. The cGsc was heard several months ago but the decision was not reached until yesterday.

 The head, legs and arms were missing.
 All means of identifying the body had been burned away, but police said the condition of the body led them to believe the woman might have been the victim of Gangstcrs known to haunt the summer resort throughout the winter when the cabins were not occupied by the owners.
 Found by Bremen
 The body was discovered by mcm- bers of the Antioch fire department after they had been summoned to the blazing cabin by Edward Schram, 49, a carctaker who has charge of the burned cottage and several others.
 Bremen said they detected the odor of gasoline, a further indica- ton that the cottage was set afrc deliberately. It had not been oCcu- pied since last summer and there was no way it could have caught fire from within. the carctaker said.
 A speeding automobile, noticed by Schram, the caretakcr, an hour be- l fore he saw the cottage ablaze, was believed a possible clue to the identity of the nocturnal visitors whose visit ended, supposedly, in the murder.
 Speed Attracts Attention Schram said he saw the automo- l bile race northward along the 1 lonely road that leads to the main road into Waukesan. His attention was attracted by the excessive speed and the fact that motorists arc rare in the deserted summer resort.
