LARGER SEWER
' NORTHERN PART UT CITY MUCH NEEDED Big South End Trunk Can Handle Rains Except During Cloudbursts.
PLAN A RELIEF SEWER
Cost For Such An Improvement, However, Would Be a Very Heavy One.
Numerous complaints having been
led -with the board of -works yesterday bearing upon the inadequacy of local sewers, an immediate investigation was made by that body in co
operation with City Engineer Charles
Tracing the course of the original
south end trunk sewer, only a four
foot main, from the river at South H
street, along H to Eighth, north to C
street, east on C to Fifteenth, and thence north to B street, at which terminus two branch sewers, one from
Linden Hill, the other from Reeveston, both 30 inch mains, empty Into the trunk, the board decided that the trunk could amply take the drain of both branches and carry
Its own beside during any normal rain
However, board members say that an eight-foot sewer could not carry the
water fast enough to prevent the nil
Ing of the streets during any abnormal
rain, as on Monday.
Such a sewer to meet occasional heavy rains and cloudbursts, could not
be built at any reasonable cost. Entitled to Sewer.
The property owners in the vicinity of Reeveston paid twenty years ago for what they have just obtained in
drainage. At that time they were as
sessed their prospective share of the cost of the trunk sewer, the proportion being about equal to that paid by
those who were benefited directly.
It Is true that during any cloudburst not much of the bulk of falling water has a chance to enter the manholes to the sewers, but it quickly seeks Its
level and that generally happens to be
somebody's cellar,
Street Commissioner Genn, who lived on North C street twenty-six
years ago, when John Niel put the 30inrh Rwer In that section of Rich
mond, remembers how property own
ers protested against the construction Of so large a sewer. At that time it was ample to drain that portion of the
city, but with the building up of that part, new streets and sidewalks were
laid out,
Today. Genn says, this sewer Is no
longer adequate to carry off the sur
face water. There always has been ten Inches of spring water running through this drain, so that leaves only twenty Inches for the water from the streets. Consequently, the trunk sewer in North C street is wholly inadequate. Genn thinks is should be torn out and replaced by a modern sewer, such as has been constructed on the west side recently. This can not be done without much expense to the property owners and by an increase in the tax levy. The. sewers in the west end of the city were constructed to meet future demands while those in the eastern Mr have outlived their usefulness.
The board is considering providing a gigantic relief sewer throughout tne city, to meet just such weather conditions as those experienced on last Monday, but this cannot be done at any reasonable c-t. TWO fflMBERS OF FACULTY .NAMED R. Nohr, Schoot Physical Director, J. P. Sauter, For the High School.
Superintendent Giles of the Rich-! mond public schools this morning announced the appointment of the new physical director for the schools, Robert Nohr, Jr.," of Cincinnati, O. Mr. Nohr graduated last spring and took the highest honors in the Normal College of the North American Gymnastic Union at Indianapolis, the pldest and best-known institution in the country for physical training.

CLARENCE S. FUNK.
Speaking at a banquet tendered by James Carr at Williamsburg last evening, Clarence S. Funk, who paid his trst visit to the Richmond branch of the Rumely company yesterday, declared that he hoped to place the GaarScott factories back to the old basis, and if possible, to establish a still greater industry in the local factories. Mr. Funk spoke very highly of Richmond's various industries which he visited yesterday. "It will take time to build the business up again," said Mr. Funk, in prefacing his remarks. "And it will be slow work. But the officials of the Rumely company now are making plans whereby they will be enabled to re-establish business in every branch
and to build up work until all plants will be larger than ever, if such a thing is possible. "The Rumely company has gone

to his relations with his wife, the chief
reached the conclusion that jealousy was the cause of her action.
Chief Gormon stated that he read
some letters which were exchanged by
the two prior-to her coming to this city

none of them was there any sign of ill

Sehaefer stated that his wife accus

said his wife often had "spells" of insane jealousy. Mrs. Sehaefer was removed to her home today and is much improved. She was not Injured by her attempt yesterday to end her life, but she sustained a severe nervous shock.

Richardson stepped from the buggy and told the defendant's brother to come with him. Robert backed away, starting round the rig. The witness then said that Richardson reached to
the bussrv seat and got his revolver.
Robert continued backing away with

Prosecutor Reller's questions. The child finally fell aslep with its head on

Richmond delegates who attend the
annual convention of the Alliance of
German Societies, which will be held in Michigan City from August 31 to September 3, will favor and probably actively support two important reso
lutions which will be discussed at the meeting. The first deals with the
saloon question, and the resolution will outline the attitude of the Ger
mans toward the saloon.
The delegates will advocate the ex
istence of the saloon, giving as their reason that the American constitution stands for personal liberties for all
men, but they will favor a nation-wide
campaign to systematize and regulate
the saloon. Instead of the saloons catering, as now, to the evil element, the Alliance of Societies hope to have
them conducted on the order of highgrade confectionery stores, with doors
wide open, as is the rule In Berlin and other cities of Germany.

business nor refuse to permit a man

The Germans believe any penniless

The Richmond Alliance of German
Societies' will meet Sunday in Man

to the membership of the alliance,
Richmond sends two delegates, but it is probable that In view of the importance of this year's meeting, other representatives will accompany the delegates. Convention Program.

William Sulzer was impeached by the
New York assembly today by a vote,
of 79 to 45. The specific charge In
the indictment of "high crimes and misdemeanors" was that he used money contributed to his campaign' for speculation in Wall street. The vote was taken a 5:15 o'clock, after a night of acrimonious debate. Wall street has claimed many vie times, both high and low. but few cases have afforded a more pathetlo spectacle than that of Governor Sulzer, standing alone after having fought his way up the political ladder after fifteen years or more, of gruel ling battle.

Comforted only by his wife, he remained in lonely vigil until after dawn, when a messenger informed him that he had been impeached. Tears streamed down the governor's face when he heard the1 news.

senate and a majority of the judges of the state court of appeals, the evi-t dence being presented by the manag-' ers appointed by the assembly. .
