total cost of $266,000, he.d been ordered from the Allls-Chalmers company by the city for the pumping station, and ctty officials want ed to run bo risk of baring the foundations sink and ruin them. A new plan of repair waa adopted, and It la the one now being employed i fill in the cavity. Bags of cement were and are being plaoel In the tunnel, in the hope that the water will wash it Into the cavity and fill it up. According to the present plan, after a large quantity of the cement hae been placed there, another attempt will, be made to pump out the water. Will Fawadatlaa Staler How effective this method Is going to prove is in doubt.

Acting City Engineer JohnH. Spengler believes It will be successfuU "I would stake my reputation on the fact that the foundations of the engines will not 100 he said: yesterday. Others believe that the carlty cannot be successfully filled in this manner, and predict that a further settlement of the building and of the machinery will occur. Some believe that before long an entire shut-down the plant is bound to Come. They argue that ihe carlty cannot be filled by the cement, and that the cement will be washed away as rapidly as It Is placed there.

The sand and soft clay will sick into the carlty, they argue, and the building and engines will sink with them. Provision against Just such damage waa made In the "specifications" or the contract for the remodeling of the tunnels, which was let to John- O'Brie. Attention was called In them to the water la the old shaft, which should be pumped out- Waralas Was Cilrea. "The existing wells. M'' and the specifications read, "and the 518 feet of six-foot tunnel by which they are connected, also 4S7 feet of seven-foot tunnel leading northeasterly from well are filled with water.

"In order to connect- the -proposed 'tunnel ith well the contractor will be required to pump out such wells at his own cost and expense. Such pumping shall be done from existing well 'H." Bidders will be required to Investigate the condiUcnrto be met with, and the work to be done necessary to pumping out such wells and tunnels In order to make proper connections with said well, aa required by specification. Despite this clause, the tunnel waa built within eight feet of the shaft without the w-ater being removed from It. "The contractor believed he was safe in going that close to the shaft before he pnmped out the said Mr. Spengler.

tn speaking of the break yesterday. "I would not call It but merely something that Is likely to happen when any tunnel is c-eing constructed under similar circumstances." Of telal Are CaaaaaaV By some other, however, the taking of such a risk is regarded as tolly. They condemn the city officials, who are supposed to super-rise the task, but add that It is of the same laxity that is characteristic of ether branches of the city administration. The specifications state that the work is to bs done with the approval of the commissioner of public works, and hence It is a part of his work, they say. to see that the contractor lives up to the terms of the contract nd docs his work properly.

"All of said work, material used, manner, time, and olace of doing the same, together with all things connected with the proper performance of the same, must be in every particular satisfactory to the commissioner of public works," It is stated In the specifications. Further warning of the danger which attended the construction of the tunnels and hafts Is contained In a letter addressed to Commissioner of Public Works Fred W. Blockl. March. 13.

1903. by the then city engineer. John Erlcson. He calls attention to the fact that, for fear of affecting the foundations ot the building, the original plan having the. shafts Inside the building had leen changed 60 as to have themoutsd.

The letter advises that the diameter of the shafts ba reduced from twelve to ten feet for the same reason. "I consider it advisable." the letter states, "on account of the danger to adjacent foundations, which danger is lessened by a reduction la the diameter of the shafts." laayectloa Pros-Idea For. Mayor Harrison, while charging the damage- aad delay to the contractor, evidently forgets that additional provisions for the inspection ofthe work by city officials are made In the specifications. "The contractor Is required to afford the commissioner of public works, or his authorized representatives. Including engineers.

Inspectors, or any other help that the said commissioner may designate, all proper as- distance and facilities in order to establish and determine the lines and grades with Which the shafts and tunnels are to be constructed, and for the further purpose of enabling said representatives to take any cross sections, also to allow proper inspection of the methods employed In constructing u-erks as specified, aod the character of the material tiat may be delivered or used In the tunnel."

The case hangs on what construction the court will place, oa the court-martial commitment order that each man "shall be confined tn such place aa the reviewing authority shall direct." The prisoners claim that only the courts-Bsrtlal hare the power to direct a plaee of confinement, and that such an order Is Ju-. dlclal and beyond the power of any reviewing authority. As th courts-martial failed to direct a place of confinement, there Is no such place, and the men must go free If this contention Is upheld.
