GLDY Ml LACKS
FROPERJipHAGE
New Council Must Wrestle
With Problem of Route
for Pipes
[ MATTER HAS BEEN UP
FOR MANY MONTHS
1 Offer of Major Dooley Discussed
Several Times But
-N o Action \\ as
Taken.
Until the new council acts on the
j proposition oi Major James H.
Dooley to pay the city {20,000 for a
release from his agreement giving a
i right of way through his country place,
\Maymont,'’ lor the contemplative
I $65.01)0 trunk sewer, thousands of
j vltixcns will be hard put to find proper
'drainage for their waste.
Major Dooley made his offer sev
eral months ago. The street commit
tee recommended its acceptance, and
1 the hoard of aldermen concurred In
' this view. The matter then went to
' the common council, where It has
‘ since lain dormant, no definite action
| hating been taken one way or the
| other.
Meanwhile the residents of the sec
tion affected hare been suffering In
conveniences of a most unsanitary
; character.
The trunk sewer in question is
known as the Dooley sewer, and is the
largest of the new system arranged
for by an ordinance authorlzng a
bond Issue, which was adopted In May,
1907. Work on other branches of the
now sewer system has long since
started and Is now rapidly nearing
completion. Not a single active step
has been taken toward digging the
' Dooley sewer." however, the wo{k
being of necessity delayed until coun
cil decides finally as to the route.
Major Dooley wants the original
route, running through Mayniont.
changed to run through Virginia ave
nue. lie thinks the change advisable
i from the city’s viewpoint In that he
I is willing to pay *20,000 for it* adop
l lion, and for the additional reason
i that he thinks the sewer can be built
j at less cost. City Engineer Bolitug
| Is Inclined to concur with Major Doo
ley In the latter’s belief. He thinks
I the change in the route entirely ad
I visable.
1 Despite the opinion of the etty tn
\ gineer, however, not a few residents
j of Clay ward. Including several eoun
I oilmen, declare the now route will
not cost less than the old, but will
: be far more expensive. In order to
lay the pipes along Virginia avenue,
j they say it will be necessary to blast
through a long stretch of solid gran
j ite.
As the matter now stands, it will
have to come up as entirely new bus
I tness before the new council, all the
j discussion which has been w aged be
fore the present council being rele
gated to obliteration when that body
expires.
Resident* of Clay ward according
ly have planned to strain every ef
fort to get quick action from the now
j municipal legislative bodies. They
must have sewerage, they say, no
1 matter what the route.

PREMIER TO PROBE
RELIGIOUS ORDERS
Portugal Said to Be Suffering
from Their Activities—
-Manual Favors Reform.
I-ISBOX, August 90.— Following the
lead of Premier Canalejas, oi Spain,
Premier Souza to-day ordered a %lg
orous inquiry into the religious orders |
in Portugal. Special attention will j
be paid to the lorelgn orders, many
of which. It is expected, will be ex- !
pelled.
The action of Premier Souza in- i
dtcates a complete understanding be- i
tween him and the Spanish govern- !
ment. It will probably result In a j
breach between the Vatican and For- i
tugal.
According to the leaders of the anti- I
clerical movement in Portugal the i
country Is suffering greatly from the i
activities of religious orders, many
of which, it Is said, are purely com
mercial organizations, which have an
unfair advantage over others In that
they are free from taxation.
King Manuel is believed to be
wholly In sympathy with the com
pelled reform. He has had a special
commission studying the situation in
Spain and is said to have become
convinced that radical changes are
needed.

COTTON IS QUIET
AFTER EXCITEMENT
Larger Shorts Settle Privately
For 19 to 20 Cents Over
Might—Bulls Sell Out.
NEW YORK. Aug. 30.—dn sharp
contrast with the excitement of yes
terday. the cotton market opened
comparatively quiet to-day. There
was an utter absence of any con
certed bull campaigning, and there
seemed to be a fair amount of Au
gust on sale by the various brokers.
The first trade was made on the twen
ty cent basis that prevailed yesterday,
but this figure was not maintained
and later sales were on a basis of
19. r,0.
It was generally believed that all of
the larger shorts arranged a private
settlement at figures ranging from 19
to 20 cents over night, and that the
bull leaders would sell out their ac
tual holdings as quietly as possible.

Grundy Gets Busy.
GLASGOW, Aug. 30.—Although no
reason has developed for seriously
doubting the theory that Lady Mar
gery Gladys Stuart Erskine, whose
decompoeed body was found In tho
Scottish Moors, near Aviemore, In
Verness, died from exposure and pri
\alien, society is to-day commenting
on her broken engagement to Hon.
Arthur Broderick. These hints go no
farther than that Lady Margery may
have committed suicide. The post
mortem will probably clear up th*
mystery.
The fact that the body showed that
an ankle was broken has convinced
tho police that Lady Margery, who
was of a neurotic tendency, fell while
wandering on the Isolated mountain
side and was unable to summon help.
She had not been seen since July Si.
