CLASHES FEATURE PROBE
9ontavilla Resident Accuses City
Heads and Engineers of Graft
and Inefficiency Attorney
Sinnott and Mr. Daly Row.
Vt developed yesterday at the City
Council's investigation of the Monta
villa trunk sewer-fraud charges that
damaged sections or pipe were al
lowed to be used in the sewer. Post
tive statement that such was the case
was made by Charles II. Smith, chief
sewer inspector, one of the city offi
cials on the defensive in the investiga
tion. Mr. Smith testified that nine or 10
damagred sections of the big; pipe were
allowed to be used, but that their use
did not affect the stability of the
sewer at all. He said the damage con
sisted of the flanges of the pipe being
broken, and that the method of setting
these sections was such that the sewer
is now as good as it would have been
had the pipe been perfect.
Mr. Smith, who has been looked upon
as one of the principal witnesses in the
Investigation, declared that all the
charges made about fraud and collu
sion either have been because of lack
of information on the part of those
making them, or have been because of
misunderstanding, misinformation or
deliberate falsehoods. He enumerated
the list of witnesses at the investiga
tion, stating who had been mistaken
and who he accused of having falsi
fied. Clashes Are Many
The hearing was replete with innuendo,
with personal clashes between attor
neys, members of the Council and wit
nesses. D. W. Butler., a resident of
Montavilla, openly charged the "city
engineers and city dads" with graft
and inefficiency "at the expense of the
poor of Montavilla."
"I was over the work twice a day
while it was under construction," said
Chief Inspector Smith. I examined
every one of the 2200 sections of pipe
used. I can say that the sewer is in
perfect condition and was built as well
as that type of sewer can be built.
There has been testimony from Monta
villa residents about damaged pipe be-
"Nine or 10 sections of the pipe were
damaged while being rolled from the
point of manufacture to the point of
laying. One of these had the bell or
flange entirely knocked off, exposing
the reinforcement. These pipes were
so laid that the joints were inserted in
concrete and they made as good and
solid a joint as the bell or flange would
have made. The reason for using them
was that it was getting late in the
year, and it was a case of using them
or delaying completion of the sewer
for six or eight weeks in the stormy
season.
- Falsehood Is Charged.
"As to the testimony of Engineer
Dowling about cracks in the pipe, he
was mistaken. Inspector "Walsh abso
lutely falsified In his testimony about
my allowing use of pipe he had con
demned, and Inspector Needham and
John Cook, who told about cracks in
the pipe and made other charges, were
mistaken." .
"And as regards Inspector Walsh,"
said City Engineer Dater," he came to
me when he was laid off last Fall and
demanded that he be kept at work. He
said if I did not put him to work,
something serious would happen to me
and Mr. Dieck."
Attorney Roger Sinnott was ques
tioning Inspector Smith about writings
of engineers on the subject of making
pipe. "Better have an expressman go
out and haul your library to Mr. Sin
nott's house for his benefit," inter
posed Commissioner Daly.
"Yes, and you'd better put a meter on
them to please Mr. Daly," said Mr.
Sinnott.
"And you might put a meter on Mr.
Sinnott's mouth," snapped back Mr.
Daly.
Mr. Daly' Brain Mentioned.
"And you might put a meter on Mr.
Daly's brain, if you could find it," re
torted Mr. Sinnott.
J. F. Clarkson, of the firm of
Standifer & Clarkson, testified that he
had a great deal of experience with
concrete, and has always found that
It will crack. He said cracks developed
on a recent reservoir he built at' West
Lynn. The cracks, he said, do not
weaken the concrete.
D. W. Butler, of Montavilla. said he
had visited every part of the sewer
and saw a great deal of the work done.
"I saw some sections of pipe that, if
they were not condemned, they should
have been," he said. "I do not know
whether they were used or not. I am
of the opinion that $12,000, which was
added to the cost of the sewer while
work was under way, was nothing
more than graft for the city dads and
the engineers. Gentlemen, you have
lost your reputation; you're in bad.
This thing has shown that you've got
a very Incompetent bunch of engi
neers." Mayor Albee Answers.
"I guess we lost our reputation long
before the Montavilla sewer," said
Mayor Albee.
"Yes." replied Mr. Butler, "I'm of the
opinion you did. As far as this sewer
Is concerned, it was a crime and a
graft to put it in. The people out there
did not want it."
A. M. Plebuch, a sewer inspector who
was brought here from Anaconda.
Mont, to testify, said that he was on
the sewer job all the time it was being
built. He said the largest crack he
saw was about the size of a fine pencil
mark. He said 20 sections of pipe
were condemned during the work.
In regard to charges that he had
hushed up other inspectors from talk
ing about oracks in the pipe, he said
he had told Inspector Needham once
that the contractor on the work ob
jected to him (Needham) talking in
public places about cracks in the
sewer. He said he merely told him
what the contractor had said, and did
not give him any orders not to talk.
Mr. Plebuch testified that he was
brought here by Mr. Dleck for the
hearing, and was guaranteed payment
of all expenses and salary while he was
here waiting to be heard in the in
vestigation. Resident Is Contradicted.
C. R. Hayworth, who lives in Monta
villa. testified that he passed the place
where the sections of pipe were being
dried, and on one occasion he noticed a
pipe that had a hole In It the size of
his fist, showing the interior reinforce
ment. He said when he came back
that night he noticed that the hole had
been patched up and was being paint
ed. He could not say whether It was
the same pipe.
City Engineer Dater. took the stand

TURE," THE "CLOCK" AND THE "HOURS."
and testified later that there was not
at any time during construction any
pipe at the point mentioned by Mr.
Hayworth.
The investigation was adjourned yes
terday afternon until 9 o'clock tomor
row morning. It is the expectation
that the taking of testimony will be
completed tomorrow and that the
Council and the committee of engineers
representing the American Society of
Engineers and the people of Monta
villa will go through the pipe Tuesday
afternoon.

BRIDE BRAVES LONG TRIP
Mine-Strewn Sea. and Submarines
Encountered on Way to Altar.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 2. A chase by
a submarine and four brushes with
British warships not to say anything
of mine-strewn seas and the ordinary
perils of trans-Atlantic voyage in war
time, taken alone were braved by
Miss Novlse Valboe to reach, the side
of Eric Solberg, 1075 Twenty-fourth
avenue S. E., whose bride she Is to be.
She reached Minneapolis from Orskog,
Norway, and will be married some day
this week.
One of the four British cruisers that
stopped the Bergensf jord, which car
ried Miss Valboe on her long trip, took
the vessel Into Kirkwall, where it was
detained for a day, and the mysterious
submarine that chased the Bergenfjord
kept the pursuit up for many hours
hours of thrills, lowered lights and
blanketed portholes, but the Norwegian
girl said- she would be willing to go
through It all again to obey the sum
mons of the man she) loved.
"I know there was some danger In
coming to tho United States during the
war," Miss Valboe said, "but what was
I to do when Eric sent for me? 1 met
him when he was in Norway last year
for a live months' visit with his par
ents. Before ho left he said he would
send for me and I told him when he
did I would come. Minneapolis did not
seem bo far a7ay, for the city is more
talked about in Norway than some of
our own towns.
"When we were a short distance out
from Chrlstlania we were met by an
English warship and taken to Kirkwall,
where our ship was searched for ammu
nition. After staying there a day we
were allowed to proceed for nothing
was found on the Bergenfjord that
would warrant Its seizure, Before we
had gone very far we were stopped
three times by other English cruisers,
but when they found that we had been
taken to Kirkwall they allowed us to
continue,
"On the night of March 18 one of the
officers discovered the dim outlines of
what seemed to be a small boat, follow
ing In our wake. While ha watched It
disappeared beneath the water, The
alarm went through the ship that we
were being followed by a submarine,
and immediately all lights on deck were
extinguished, and the portholes cov
ered. Under cover of darkness we
changed our course, and after a few
hours the submarine was no longer
visible.''

ONE KNOWS NO ENGLISH
Soldier From Rochester, X. Y.t Fails
to Acquire Language, Though He
Has Been. Resident in Amer
ica Fully Ten. Years.
BT A. R. DECKER.
Special Correspondence of the Chicago
Daily News.
PARIS, France, March 30. One meets
Americans. soldiers in the allies'
armies, all along the front in France
and Belgium. Some of these enlisted
men, who have come across the Atlan
tic, are Americans of several genera
tions descent, but most of them are of
French, Belgian or English parentage.
In a French infantry regiment in the
Bois le Petre I met a New Yorker. His
parents were French, but the New
Yorker had a hard time conversing
with his adopted comrades in arms. At
Dieulouard a French soldier, seeing my
American clothes, introduced himself
as an American of Alsatian parentage,
come over to aid the country of his
boyhood. But strangely enough this
American could not talk English. He
had worked in a German shop in
Rochester, N. Y. Everyone in the shop
talked German.
"But how could you stay in America
10 years and not learn English?" I
asked.
"Well," he replied, "all the workmen
being German, I happened to stay with
German people. I could have learned
to talk English if I had tried."
War Terrible, So Monotonous.
In Paris the other day I met an
American Belgian. From his home in
West Flanders the Belgian father had
emigrated to Chicago with his family
and had made American citizens of all
his children. But after 10 years of
absence from his native land, the son
had not forgotten his patriotism. He
enlisted and is fighting today in the
trenches on the narrow strip of Bel
glum not occupied by the Germans.
"Oh! It Is bad up there," he said to
me.
I had visions of continuous attacks
and never-ending slaughter.
"Bad?" I questioned. "Are the Ger
mans ugly? Is there much fighting?".
"Oh. no! There isn't much fighting,
but it is so absolutely monotonous.
When I enlisted I thought the war
would soon be over. But it doesn't
look like it now. The rain, the mud
and the everlasting monotony are ter
rible. When I come out of the trenches
and take my coat off it stands up
alone, it is so crusted with mud.
"Our lines are dangerously situated.
If by hazard the German artillery bom
bards the dike locks and lets the North
Sea in on us the Belgian army will be
in a bad fix. The sea would sweep In
along the Yser River and inside of 24
hours a huge lake would be formed,
extending for six or seven miles on
each side of the river and as far east as
Furnes.
"Of course, if this happened the Ger
mans would have to abandon their
trenches also.
Little Change In the Line.
"Our lines at present remain about
stationary. If the Germans by a sur
prise attack take one of our advance
posts, we soon take It back, and they
do the same to us. Sometimes a small
patrol of the Germans will work their
way through our barbed wire up to our
trenches. They never get back.
"We have plenty of ammunition and
enough machine guns well placed to
mow down anything that might appear
on the plain in front of our lines.
"But it is terribly trying, doing the
same thing day in and day out. You
don't know what a relief it is to come
on leave to Paris. And to talk English
again. That is a real pleasure.
"The civilians remaining in Belgium
are wonderful. Occasionally, through
roundabout channels, we get news from
them. They are all optimistic as to the
outcome of the war. That cheers us up
a lot.
"And after the war. are you going
back to Chicago?" 1 asked.
"You bet I am," came the decided
reply.

time. I am nervous and don't sleep

scalp and hair strands and promotes a
beautiful, luxuriant growth of hair.
Clip the ends of the hair about half an
inch to set rid or broken ends.

"Runt" says: "I'm tired of beinir
called 'runt' just because I'm so thin.
I want to weigh more. How may I add
about 25 pounds to my weight?"
Answer: There is the use of three

weight in a relatively short time.

"Gayle" says: "I have cold In my sys
tem almost constantly. I cough, and
my throat and chest are sore. I seem
full of inflammation."
Answer: Constant colds are bad for
the system. Try to avoid draughts and
undue exposure. Get a 2i-oz. bottle
concentrated essence mentho - laitene
and mix with simple syrup, according
to directions. This should break up se
vere coughs and colds in a very little
while, and at the same time rid th
system of the cold inflammation. Adr,
