6-F0OT RISE FILLS
BASIN AT DAM SITE
A six-foot rise in Elm Creek,
created by the heavy ratal whieh
have fallen over the area drained
by the 'Stream, Monday afternoon
had filled the basin at the Dallas
Lake dam site, east of Oana, and
measurement at that time showed
it wAs still rising at the rate of
about oho inch, each hour. The old
dirt road from Garza to the dam site
was inundated Monday afternoon
and the new gravel road, built by
the Callahan Construction Company
from the Stockard gravel pit to the
dam location, lacked only about 14
inches of being a-waah.
Water in the basin started rising
early Saturday morning, according
to officials at the dam, and follow-
ing the rain Saturday night the wa-
ter in thelake gathered rapidly un-
til it began pouring thru the emer:
goncy spillway at the north end of
the dam. It was stated, however,
that high- water would not cause
damage to the work under way, ns
surplus water can be cared for as
rapidly as it rises.
. Before the rains over the week-
end work at the dam had been 51w-
•d down considerably because of the
low water in the basin, according to
J, C. Greeley, chief engineer of the
Puget Sound Company, who has
charge of dredging operations at
tiki dam alto. The water, in fact, had
bedome io law that the big dredge
fects, and. costumes rare said
tend an atmospheric touch to

A street fight-broke out today in
the workers’ quarter of Berlin and
a woman—who did not vote for Hin-
denberg—administered a severe
beating to a man, apparently a mon-
archist sympathizer, who was at-
tempting to wrest a Republican ban-
ner from a small boy.
In political cirele where pre-
parations are under way for the
inauguration of Hindenburg, as the
first popularly elected President of
Germany, the belief was firmly es-
tablished today that the Govern-
ment’s foreign policy will not be
altered.
The most enthusiastic monarchist
have no outspoken intention of at-
tempting to bring about h" change,
nor do they anticipate enrlyrestora-
tion of the monarchy. But Republi-
cans admit the monarchists have
been strengthened tremendously, es-
Mayor H. V. Hennen said Tusday
morning that the last of the light
line troubles from .the Sunday night
storm had been repaired and that
the city would not have to be in
the dark again. All the lights in the
city were oat for most of Sunday
night following the storm and mnny
of them were out agnin Monday
night. The trouble Monday night
waa a brenk in the lins on Coit
Street between Ponder Avenue and
Fulton Street and crossed lines in
that area.
Hennen said the lines showed nt
the plant to bn in trouble during
Monday and that the city linemen
worn hunting all day for the trou-
ble but were not able to locate it
Trouble at the power plant- la be-
lieved to have been the cause of
what might have been a serious fire
I in the business section late Monday
r ight. Prompt discovery of the in-
cipient baze by Nightwatchman
Price permitted quick extinguishing
of the fire before any damage was
done except to the motor in which
it originated.
The motor operating the refriger-
ating machinery at the Service Drug
Store, southwest corner of the
square, became ignited probably
when the current, due to line trou-
bles, was too weak to operate it.
The insulation on the wires caught
and started a blaze that climbed
several feet an the air, attracting
the attention of Price, who with
Nightwatchman Vardaman kicked in
the back door of the store, and
cut off the current. Then the blaze
was extinguisht with water.
The- motor was burned out at a
loss of perhaps $100, Claude Russey,
manager of the. store, said Tuesday,
but no other damage resulted ex-
ept. from wuter and the dense
smoke which the burning insulation
caused. “The floor below the motor
was soaked with lubricating oil
from it,’ Russey said, “and if the
flumes had spread to those grease-
soaked boards, it might have been
difficult to control them."
