OVERI'lXnV LACK.
Owing to the fact that the over
flow from the gravity water system
has been cut down this month, an
auxiliary pumping plant Is being in
stalled today at the public natatorlum
and will be used to fill the pool when
there is no overflow available. The
pool Is closed today but it is hoped
to have the pump in operation t)y to
morrow night. A charge of five cents
for all persons over 12 years will be
made on week days until the pumping
plant is paid for.
This decision was received this mor
ning by the council committee in
charge of the natatorium when it was
reported that there has been no over
flow since Sunday and that the water
in the pool needed changing. The pool
was emptied and has been cleaned out.
It Is not the intention of the com
mittee to make the five cent charge a
Permanent one. It will simply be
kept on until the cost of the necessary
Improvement is paid. The ten cent
charge for weedend days will be main
tained as before and on days when
the overflow is used there will be no
charge.
The cost of installing the pumping
riant will be very small Inasmuch as
Dr. F. W. Vincent, manager of the
Pacific Power & Light Co., has do
nated the use of a motor and will fur
nish the power free of charge. Frank
Neagle is furnishing a pump, that or
dinarily would cost $75, for $30 and
this, with the cost of sinking a pipe,
will be the total expense.
The water will be seepage from the
river and Its filtration through the
gravel will clean It of many Impuri

LONDON, Aug. 19. The White Star liner Arabic, enroute
from Liverpool to New York was
submarine about five miles off Fastnet. The fifteen thousand
ton vessel was sent to the bottom about 60 miles from the spot
where the Lusitania similarly was destroyed. The first dis
patches from Liverpool declared the Arabic's 175 pa.ssengera
and the members of the crew had been saved, but later reports
said some were believed to have
260. The vessel left Liverpool yesterday afternoon.
SINKING COMES AS SHOCK
NEW YORK, Aug. 19. The Arabic carried 175 passengers.
White Star officials said. This number included 35 steerage
passengers. There were no first class passengers. The crew
numbered 260. It was pointed out by steamship officers that
the Arabic was outbound. The Germans had plenty of time to
ascertain whether Americans were aboard before sinking the
ship.
The sinking of the Arabic came as a shock. The stock mar
ket broke sharply.
MAY HAVE HAD AMERICANS ABOARD
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. The state department this after
noon took immediate steps to ascertain whether Americans had
perished with the Arabic. Officials were visibly perturbed,
especially by reports that there was some loss of life.
No information had been received at an early hour this after
noon whether any of the victims were Americans. It was ad
mitted the sinking of the ship might develop into a serious situ
ation if there were Americans aboard and the liner was tor
pedoed without warning. '

Late this afternoon it was not

a "deliberately unfriendly act" to the

Reports come in today from Pilot

gunplay that alarmed the residents o(

are probably very much exaggerated
but that there Is a good deal of un

The most credited report receives
