That the Tannar creek sewer baa not
been built according to plana and speci
fications there la now no room for
doubt.
Aa a result of the latest Investigation.
City Engineer Elliott, Assistant City
Engineer Oeorga Scoggln. Inspector J.
M. Caywood and Contractors R. M.
Rlner & Son are undar aa heavy cloud
aa thay ware oh the day the report of
the former committee waa made to the
council. All efforts to shift responsi
bility for the deplorable Job have proven
futile. It la upon the shoulders of these
man that the responsibility reats and
there la every likelihood that the recom
mendations of the city council regard
ing the removal of the tin oanolals
will be caj-rled out.
The report of W. W. Goodrich and G.
Wlagate. the experts appointed by Mayor
Williams, shows several grave defects,
which war not mentioned In tha former
report and thay also enumerate several
defecta named by the former committee.
Tha moat serious defects pointed out
are that tha excavations mad In ex
cess of tha requirements hava not been
tilled with concrete aa called for in the
plana and specifications, aa tha spaces
between tha completed sewer and the
timbers, placed to support the opening,
while the sewer was being built, were
not filled and tamped with concrete.
Elliott Tries to Explain.
City Engineer Elliott attempts to ex
plain the first named defect by stating
that the contractor received no money
for excavating and that ha took out Just
aa little earth aa possible.
"I did not deem It necessary," said
he, "to fill thaaa placaa with concrete,
aa the property owners hava to pay for
It In order to All these excavations
with concrete It would cost the prop
erty owners between 116.000 and 610,
000. I did not feel Justified In spend
ing that amount of money."
He further claima that tha aeepages
noted will occur In any sawer unlaaa It
la built of perfectly waterproof ma
terial. "I am satisfied with tha report." said
Elliott, "as I think It a fair one. My
contentiona regarding the length of the
ewer have been substantiated by tha
experta."
The report of Ft. B. laimaon and N.
A. King, the property owners, substan
tiates almoat In detail the report of the
former committee. They aay It la In a
very bad condition and that It will be
nscessary to rebuild certain portion of
'the sewer in order to make It conform
to plans and spsclflcatlona. , :
Mayor Wants Advice.

know what action he will take against
tha city engineer. He desires to have
the auvice of members of the executive

"I will tske no steps now," said ha
today. "When I maks up my mind what
I am going to do in thla matter I will
make It publlc.'l.
At the meeting of tha executive board

this morning she read In tha morning
papers the account of tha discovery
that bar $6,000,000 worth of securities,
held by Banker Reynolds, are worthless.
It waa ths first she knew that this fact
had been made puhllc and after reading
tha papers she excitedly paced her cell.
Mrs- Chadwick has quite regained her
remarkable nerve. Dr. Levin, the city
phyalcian, declared thla morning that
the woman Is perfectly sound physically.
To the guard before bar cell this

It Is practically certain that Mrs.

and Says He Will Pardon Him Again if Magistrate Hogue
Executes Threat to Rearrest Him.
Governor Chamberlain this morning
pardoned Thomas Hightower, serving a
0-day sentence In the city prison for
disorderly conduct. When he heard of
this action Judge Hogue had a bench
warrant Issued for the arrest of High
tower on a charge of being out after
hours.
Hightower was arreated at 2 o'clock
In the morning of December 6 by Patrol
man Foster for tsklng hla young wife
Into saloons and permitting her to drink
in the company of other men.
Shortly after leaving the Oxford sa
loon, where they had several drinks,
paid for by other persons. Hightower
struck his wife and discolored her eye.
When they were taken to the police
station he remarked that he was glad his
wife was to be locked up. because it
"would do her good," but demurred
strongly when ha discovered that he was
also under arrest.
Hightower was found guilty on two
charges of being out after hours and
of being drunk and disorderly. He was
sentenced to serve 90 days In the city
prison- -on the second charge, and sen
tence west continued to March 6, the
date of hla release, on the first. High
tower has been on the rockpile for sev
eral days.
Mrs Hightower has been at the police
station every afternoon for several days
closeted with Chief Hunt In his private

"When applications Is made to the

the same he must require the judge of

the action was prosecuted, to furnish
him without delay a atatement of the

Mr. Kit I r ..' aertously questions the
right of the governor to pardon a tlty

"We took the sctlon wa did In this
matter becauae wa wanted to save the
woman from a life of shame," said Judge
Hogue. "Mr. Fltxgerald and I both be

her ruin if lie is not punished for his

"I pardoned Hightower becauae I

Here tha governor produced from hla

Tsar Serious Decline.
Wall street today did everything In
its power to restore confidence to tha
stock market, but trading showed a re
markable falling off. even for a short
day. The total sales for tho day
amounted to 810,700, against 063.900.
It is the general opinion of the trad
ers that the market has had a much too
awlft advance and that during tha com
ing week there will be a serious decline
In the entire llata.
In this the Standard Oil crowd seems
to have outdone Itself, for had the ad
vance not been so rapid a one the trade
would have taken It aa a natural rise
from a severe depression.
With the exception of a very few
stocks today there were advances all
through the list. Amalgamated t opper
showing a rise from the beginning of
the session. It closed today at 71. or
62.37 higher than that of yesterday
In Sugar Refining there waa a decid
edly better feeling today, but deaplta
thla the trading was small. Sugar
made a gain today of $1.75 over tha
closing of Friday.
The situation on the stock exchange
following the storm haa brought but
little peace, for there are borebodlngs
of further trouble. Lawson, however,
promises to smash ths list again. Ha
has given his word that ha will begin
litigation against tha.-. amalgamated
Copper company. He has promised to
shake the foundations of Standard Oil
and the great life Insurance companies.
All thla Is yet to come, snd conservative
bankers are not enthusiastic over the
outlook.
In spite of the sharp recover! ea of
Amalgamated yesterday. Lawson an
nounces that he has only begun. Me
laughs at the strength of the market.
He declares thst the Standard Oil party
robbed the people through tha Amalga
mated Copper company, and says that he
will make tha Standard OU pay It all
back.
A rumor" is In circulation in Wall
street that haa attracted much atten
tion. It waa said that tha Western
Union snd Postal Telegraph companies
were about to combine, and those on the
Inside considered It a strong tip to buy
