AUTOMATIC PHONE
EMPLOYES UNPAID
Davenport employes of the Trl-City
Automatic Telephone company are at
present confronted with the problem
of collecting several weeks" back
wages due them.
Two weeks ago the men were or
dered to- abandon operations, after but
three-fourths of a mile of conduit had
been laid in Davenport. Workmen are
still .in the city and are waiting for
their checks.
"We don't know whether we will
get our money or not," Bald one work
man, "but from present indications, I
gue?s the stuff is off. We haven't been
able to find any of the company offi
cer!. Mr. Stanton is supposed to be
in Chicago. About two weeks ago he
wrote to one of the men and said he
would take care of the wages, but
we are tired of waiting.'
Davenport officials are of the opin
ion that the Automatic company is on
its last legs, and this belief is strength
ened by the w ithdrawal of Its working
forces in mid-season, following action
taken by Commissioner of Public
Works Crowley, forbidding a contin
uance of operations unlesB better ma
terial u used and better workman
ship methods employed. -
City officials have received numer
ous inquiries in the past few days
from creditors of the Automatic com
pany, an attempt being made to locate
Stanton and other officers.

Hank looks like a 13-year-old now. He

were at their best on this bridal day.
A meadowlark called to his mate across
the lake, asking if he might come and
join her. A brown thrush in a tree on
the hillside near by sent forth across
the water a carol full of love and mel
ody such as a Beethoven or a Chopin
would strive in vain to imitate. The
hills were dressed in their prettiest
robes of green. The water was quiet.
Nature was at her best. And the bride

and in spirits, were in harmony with
nature.

Why Go To Atlantic City?
Our village has been donated a right
smart convenient place for acquatic
sports and the sign of welcome appears
in large letters to attract parties in
their search of pleasure equal to that
offered to A. C. The natatorium is lo
cated on Twenty-ninth street and Six
teenth avenue and bears the inscrip
tion in beautiful English script. "Oak
Hill Bath. Everybody Welcome." Ow
ing to the recent demand made upon
the nat. as a drinking fountain for
horses and other quadrupeds which
number many, the opportunity has not
been afforded the village lads and
lassies, to enjoy the bathing place to
any great extent. But the summer is
not yet over and the nat. will no doubt
be the scene of much gayety on these
tolerably hot days.

RAW WATERMAIN
BREAK REPAIRED
Workmen Complete Job at Mid
night Alter Working Stead
ily for Thirty-Six Hours. '
SHOWS NEED OF NEW MAIN
One Length of the Old One Cracked
From tnd to End City Used
Reserve Supply 36 Hours.
After working steadily for 36 hours
the city -workmen repaired the break
in the raw watermain at Twenty-sec
ond street, between Third and Fourth
avenue. Raw water was flowing
through the pipe to the reservoir at
midnight for the first time in 16 hours.
After digging down, to the main it was
found that one length of pipe was
cracked tbe entire distance. An exca
vation three feet wide and 13 feet long
was necessary to get at the break.
Had there been any difficulty In mak
ing repairs a water famine would have
resulted, and the waterworki force Is
to be congratulated on the fast work
done.
Shows Need of New One.
R. W. Sharpe, superintendent of the
waterworks, stated this morning that
tbe break in the raw watermain only
went to show how badly a new main
Is needed. Ever since his arrival here
Mr. Sharpe has been advocating the
laying of a new 30-inch main, as the
16-lnch main at present is not strong
enough and the city a losing money
daily, as more power is required to
force the volume of water through
this small main to the reservoir than
if a larger one were installed.
