Under these conditions City Ilntfineer Fred Anderson drew up a petition while the men waited and they signed it before leaving the ofiice. The petition calls for a trunksewer running from Olive st. to Meade st. and from Meade st. to Chicago st. The trunk sewer will enable th city Co make future connections with greater ease. It was estimated by the board that the work would costs $17,000.

Water in Collars. The urgent need of a sewer in the district to be affected by the new trunk system was pointed out by the delegates, who said that water was continually standing in their cellars on account of no drainage facilities. Resolutions were confirmed on the curb and sidewalk improvements on IZ. Washinston av. from Sunnyside to Jacob st.. and on the curb and sidewalk improvements on Kimball av. from Oliver st. to Ewing a v.

Fire gutted the shoe repair shop of Henry' Marks, 222 W. Washington av.. Tuesday night about 11:r,3. The blaze originated in the rear room of the little shop and quickly spread to the front as the place was full of inflammable material. No estimate of the damage could be given by Mr. Marks Tuesday night. The los?, however, will be fully covered by insurance. Mrs. Marks said that she had gone into the back room shortly before leaving the store, about 10::50, and had struck a match while looking for her hat. Chief ibrel believes that the match was still lighted when Mrs. Ma-ks threw it on the floor, and that It caused the blaze.

Federal Trade Commission Hears Charge That Rates Are Exhorbitant.

KING, MONSTER HORSE, IS DEAD AT LAFAYETTE

NOW IS THE TIME TO GET YOUR SLEEP

King, the monster Percheron. said to be the largest and heaviest horso in the world, belonging to the Crouch stock farm of Iafayette, Ind., which was exhibited here during the Interstate fair last July, is' dead, according to word received

j from Iafayette. The Crouch farm j also had the famous team of 1 ti j horses here. King has been owned j by the Crouch people for about two years and was bought near Sheridan,

Ind. The horse weighed L'.SOO pounds and was to have been exhibited in side shows this fall. The Intense heat which caused the beast's death, made its temperature so high It could not be recorded with any kind of medical thermometer.

Now is the time for all jrood pcople to make tip that sleep lost on account of the prolonged heat spell which has been hanging around South He ml for 10 days. According to Weather Observer Swaitn. the next few night? are going to be most conducive to sleep. At least temporary relief is promised by the weather man. Tuesday's maximum temperature was only SO as compared with marks of ;0, 9S and other kindred high registrations of the past few days. Early Tuesday the minimum temperature was 63. where previously it has been around 70 or 75. At 6 o'clock Tuesday night the mercury was hanging around the 74 notch. So uncertain has been the weather that Swaim does not guarantee how long this cool spell will stay, but indications are that it is due to reriain for a couple of day?. It is believed that this weather is the indirect effect of the cool wave which hit the eastern seaboard last Sunday.

WASHINGTON. Aus. 2. Charges that the price of news print paper had been forced up exorbitantly by a combination of manufacturers were made hy publishers and denied by representatives of the manufacturers at a hearing Tuesday, which concluded an exhaustive Inquiry into the subject by the federal trade commission. Frank P. class, vice president of the American Newspaper Publishers' association, told the commission he &n "morally convinced" there was collusion among the manufacturers and expected to be able by Oct. 1, to present legal proof of it. P. T. Dodge, president of the International Paper Co., declared present high prices were due to an enormous increase in demand, and insisted that the manufacturers were not making a fair return on their capital. The commission undertook theinvestigation under direction of a congressional resolution and will begin work immediately drafting a report. Members said one would be submitted at the earliest possible moment. Mr. Class said his association viewed the situation with extreme alarm and had recommended retrenchment in consumption by smaller editions, abolishing n turns, and circulating inactivity. Increas of 25 to öä percent on contracts and some times a hundred percent on a majority of orders, had destroyed the profits of mos't newspapers, and already had driven some to the- wall. One western paper, he said, reported an Increased paper cost of $250.000 annually. He claimed It was almost impossible for a publisher to get quotations except from the mill he usually dealt with. Mr. Zerhey. another witness, charged favoritism in the sale of paper, and said that another further increase beyond live percent would force many of the smaller papers under 20.000 circulation into bankruptcy.

UNITED STATES SOLDIER DIES IN GALVESTON

Indiana national guardsmen will be recruited from offices which will be established in this city by Lieut. Arthur Halstead. formerly of company - of Monticello, Ind. The recruiting done by the federal officers in Indiana cities has not been suttlciently strong to bring the companies of the Indiana guard, mustered into federal service, up to the required war standard. In order to bring the companies up to the required standard of 150 orhcers and men. offices have been established in four of the leading Indiana cities. Indianapolis. Terre Haute. Fort Wayne and South Hend are the cities that have been selected. Especially since there were a large number of all of the companies sent south to the border who were rejected on various grounds, renewed enlistment is found necessary. Since the married men are being mustered out of th service, many recruits will be needed. It is thought that the local pride in the companies from the various cities will be sufficient to send up the numbers to the required point in a very short time. Dr. c P. Traver. who has recently been commissioned by the federal government as a member of the medical reserve, will be the examiner of the recruits. It will not be necefvary for a man enlisting in the guard to join company F. He may declare his allegiance to any one of the various companies, corps or batteries from Indiana. Twelve counties will be served by the local office. They are represented by 11 companies in the guard. The full list follows: Klkhart, St. Joseph. Importe. Porter. Lake. Newton. Jasper. Star. Pulaski. Marshall. Coitim and White.

Charles Katona, a private in company K of the fourth regiment of the federal army, died Kriday afternoon at Urownsville, Texas. The body, which is being shipped here, will arrive early Thursday morning. Mr. Katona was 23 years old and had enlisted twice in the federal service. He lirst enlisted in riouth Hend early in the year 1912. and after the expiration of his term he reenlisted at Galveston, Texas, March 15, 1913. At the outbreak of the present difficulties with Mexico h wa-s sent with his regiment to tha border. The cause of his death ha not yet been learned hy friends and relatives in this city. He was born in Csapod. Hungary, in 1S91. He came to this country in ll07 and most of the time until his enlistment was spent in South IJend. He was employed in the shops of the Singer factory. The funeral will probably be held Friday morning from St. Stephen's church, under the direction of liev. Lawrence Horwath. and burial will be in Cedar Grove cemetery.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2. Sharp differences of opinion on senate amendments to the naval bill providing for promotion of rear admirals and captains by selection instead of seniority, as at present, were voiced by' high naval officers at a hearing Tuesday before the house conferees on the bill. The senate change was vigorously opposed by Hear Admiral Badger, retired, of the general board, and Hear Admiral strauss. chief of the bureau of ordnance. It was supported by Hear Admiral Blue, thief of the bureau of navigation, in charge of navy personnel. "The selection system would upset ' lie service by elevating men of lower rank over others." said Admiral Badger. He declared that it practically would reestablish the "plucking" system. Admiral Stiauss said the proposed selection plan would "tear the navy to pieces." l'conorny and efficiency both would be served by adopting the selection plan. Admiral Blue asserted. It would insure that young and efficient officers were put in important positions, he contended, and that incompetents would be retired early. Examination of the naval officers will te continued tomorrow.
