This left only the Reber approach and Alton & Mississi~pi propositions before the administration for consid- eration. The summer slipped away while the Mayor and the Municipal Assembly waited for the Alton & Mississippi promoters to offer a definite plan for completing the bridge. After many months of delay, the company finally offered to build an approach and a 21-mile belt line and sell it to the city under a leasing plan for 7,000,000, payment to be made in 4 semi- annual installments of $175,000 each. Bille authorizing the city to enter into a contract with the Alton & Mis- sissippi company to build the ap- proach were introduced in the Mu- nicipal Assembly. Months passed away, without any action being taken by the Assembly either on the bond issue bill or the Alton & Mississippi bill. St. Louis, on account of the uncom- pleted bridge, became the object of ridicule from one end of the country to the other: There was an awaken- ing of the people of St. Louis, fol- lowed by a strong demand for the completion of the bridge in the most | expeditious and economical: manner possible. ~ HE Municipal Assembly sought to @xcuse its inaction on the ' bond issue bill on the theory that a bond’ isstie could not be passed. That is still the attitude of many members of the House of Dele- T* Municipal Assembly passed How A.& M.Grab Gained Force at the City Hall Watchful promoters got Committee to take up their leasing scheme at time when administration believed bond issue could not be carried. way scheme, which the promoters have been trying to ‘‘put over’’ for years, was taken up by the Kiel administration as an emergency measure nearly a year ago to avoid going to the people with When Mayor Kiei went into office last April question taken up for consideration. 1. To submit to the people a bond issue of $2,750,000 to build the Reber approach; 2. To increase the tax rate 10 cents on the $100 valuation to raise money for the completion of the bridge, and To authorize the Alton & Mississippi promotérs to build an approach and belt. line and: lease it to the city. bridge approach and belt line rail- bridge was the first important Three propositions were con- gates, who are holding out for the A. & M. grab. The demand for the completion of the bridge has become so strong and persistent that the opinion is now almost universal that the bridge bonds would carry at a special elec- tion. This belief is grounded upon an awakened public sentiment, and the fact that a majority of the vot- ers, at three different’ elections, voiced their approval of the Reber approach. | When the bond issue was submitted in November, 1911, the Reber. ap- proach was approved by a majority of 10,437 votes. The vote for the bonds was 31;260, against 20,323. Un- der. the State Constitution, bond is- sues must be authorines by a two- thirds vote. The bond proposition was submit- ted a second time tn August, 1912. The Reber approach then was ap- proved by a majority of 18,382. The vote was 43,025 for the bonds and 24,643 against. In the November election of 1912 the bond issue was voted on a third time, and again the Reber approach was approved by a majority of 8938. The vote was 658,891 for the bonds and 49,963 against. The bond issue proposition was scratched by voters at that election’ in their eagerness to make no mistake in defeating the ‘S1Adle tax amendment tothe State Constitution. To this fact, and the further fact that a new municipal administration would come into ex- istence the following April, is attrib- uted the failure of the bonds to-get the necessary two-thirds majority. ibegan to “insist on her vights,”’ as he = ee PFRMANY AND UNITED STATES TALK BY WIRELESS Two by Press -Messages Between Countries Exchanged Method First Time.

BLIND WOMAN SUES HIM She Alleges She Paid Interest 12 Years on $140, Then Her Furniture Was Sold. Testimony was heard by Circuit Judge Kinsey Thursday on the application of John H. Vette, a money lender, for a change of venue from St. Louis in a suit brought by Mrs. Bridget Mullally against him and his son-in-law, Frank Alewell, for $11,000. Mrs. Mullally alleges she borrowed $14 from Vette, paid back more than that amount in interest and still owes $280. Mrs. Mullally is 80 years old and nearly blind and does, not want the case: transferred from St. Louis. Vette produced a number of witnesses who testified that there was preennee against him in St. Louis. Louis Mayer, a lawyer, said he had heard John O. Moore speak unfavorably of Vette and had heard a man at the American Hotel speak against money lenders in general. A. J. Fitesimmons on Stand. Arthur J. Fitgsimmons, chairman of the Democratic City Central Committee, said he had knewn Vette for years and did not think he could get a fair trial in St. Louis because of prejudice against “joan sharks.” Fitzsimmons was asked if he, on a jury, could: give Vette a fair trial.: ‘“‘Well, I don’t like their methods of deing business,”’ he said. Hugo B. Stifel of 1733 Pennsylvania avenue said he heard a-man say, after Vette had lost another case in court, that he knew Vette would have no chance with a jury. Frank R. Tate, president of the Co- lumbia Theater Co., said he had known f Mette for. years .and.that there was a prejudice against his typé of monev lenders. A number of times, he had dined with Vette, and a: someone would say: “I saw you sitting with a tough guy,” or something like that. Tate was asked if he ever had any business relations with Vette. “I have} never borrowed money from him nor loaned money to him, thank God,”’ said Tate. Ceuldn’t Give Fair Trial. Frank H,. Hackman, areal estate agent,- said .he had heard: persons say that they thought Vette ought to be in the penitentiary, and some time he would “get his." Hackman -eaid he would not be able to give Vette a fair trial. Henry Hagen, president of the Hagen Paper Co., said he would not be able to give Vette a fair trial. He had known Vette for years and had business dea!- ings of another character with. him. F. W. Feurbacher of 3535 Flora avenue said he had heard -unfavorable com- ments on Vette and other money lend- ere. Mrs. Mullally’s attorney put on John W. Calhoun, an attorney, Andrew HI. Watson and others to testify that Vette could get a fair trial in St. Louis. The suit is based on the allegation that after Mrs. Mullally had paid in- terest for 12 years, her furniture was sold at auction for $118 by Vette under a chattel mortgage. She asks $100 ac- tual damage and $10,000 punitive damage SHIP ASHORE IN A GALE; RESCUERS CAN’T. REACH IT ‘Vessel Half Mile Off Cape Cod Hidden by Vapor at Scene of 100 Wrecks. PROVINCETOWN, Mass., Feb. 12.— The Peaked Hil] lifesaving station re- ported this afternoon that a steamer was ashore on the Peaked Hill bar, half a mile of fthe beach. A violent gale is blowing and the temperature is sero. The point where the steamer struck is the most dangerous on the cape. Dis- tres signals from the vessel, while she was hidden’ by the vapor that covered the ocean, were heard off the end of Cape Cod at frequent intervals before the life savers found her. The Govern- ment wireless. operator at Highland Light was unable to obtain any re- sponse to numerous radio calls. The sea was so heavy the life savers could not launch their boat. Peaked Hill Bar has been the scene of more than 10 wrecks.

Raine, a brother, to whom Hunter Raine had not-spoken for years unt{! after his arrest, arranged for the employment of a lawyer’‘to defend his brother. Sheriff Tate and . Attorney-General Estes had received’ so many tiireatening letters against Raine that they took him from the. county jall to the court- house surrounded by a heavily armed guard. Judge Edgington had the court- room cleared of all persons other than lawyers or newspaper men. Raine appeared in the courtroom neat- ly dressed in a gray business suit: His face was pale and he. trembled. He walked from the courtroom through 2 dense crowd to the Sheriff's office look- ing neither to the right nor left. De- spite that he had appeared nervous in court, he displayed no uneasiness in the crowd, although he was warned that feeling against him was intense. “T will .take care ef myself,” plied to the Sheriff and officers. The indictment charges him with lar- ceny, embezzlement and breach of trust of $788,804. 76. Following his plea-of. guilty, Raine Was returned to his cell in the county jafl. The audit of the bank's books which is necessary to show the present condl- tion of the resources, it is stated will not be completed for severa! days.

We have exercised the power conferred by Congress, and until we find that the manner in which we have .exercised it will not meet the needs of the bridge as a public highway, I think our power to further acquire land wil be held in abeyance. “St. Louis has no power whatever to acquire, own or operate a railroad. The proposed Alton & Mississippi belt line certainly would be a railroad, and evi- dence of this fact is that it was planned by a-corporation which purports to be a railroad company. “These are legal objections of the gravest character to the Alton « Mississippi proposition.” City Counselor Baird is the legal ad- viser of the Municipal Assembly. His opinion on these subjects is the same as the opinion of former City Caunselor Walther. Despite the fact that the Municipal Assembly, either through its members individually or its committees, has been advised officially that the Alton & Mississippi schenie is illegal, 22 members of the House of Delegates have gone on record for it.

ASK IMPEACHMENT OF BURLESON Colorado Democrat Says Parcel Post Is Operated in’ Ridicu- lous Manner. P . Washi on - By Wire From the W Bates Bu WASHINGTON, Feb. “22. —Representa- tive George Kindell, a Democrat, of Col- orado, seid today that he intended to ask the Senate to impeach Postmaster-Gen- eral Burleson and remove him from of- fice for gress incompetency, especially in the management of the parcel post system., Kindell is credited with béing an ex- pert on freight rates. The platform upon which he was elected was based al- most entirely om his. promises to fight for adjudication of freight rates and im- provement of the parcel post system. He and Postmaster-General Burleson became involved in. a squabble over a postmastersitip. Kindell asked Burleson to retain in office a, Republican whom, he averred, was thoroughly satisfactory to the people, Burleson appointed a Democrat. te Give Up Pian. Kindell said today that the parcel pest system was being operated in a ridicn- lous manner, that he had repeatedly sought to' induce Burleson to bring abou the necessary reforms and that che Postmagter-General had refused to con- sider his proposals. .A number of Dem- ecrats urged Kindell to give up his plan in the interest of the party. “I have determined to impeach the Postmaster-General on charges of gross incompetency,’’ Kindell said. “The Post- master-General has persistently prac- ticed wholesale discrimination in oper- ating the l post system along its pregent lines. : port im Heuse.” up “Under the system rates on 2%-pound shipments from the Bagt to the West are 100 per cent_higher by parce] post than by express. Thousands: of in- stances can be found where it costs more to ship a package from one point to anottier, going ome way, than be- tween the same points in the opposite direction, “T am assured of support in the House and I expect to lay enough facts before the House to make Burleson sit up and take notice.’’ Kindell ig the proprietor of a mattress and bagging factory in Denver.

Williams said Gwin told him he was injured in a fight with two men and two women at Bleventh atreet and Cheuteau ayenue at 3 p. m. last Saturday.

CHICAGO, Feb.’12.—An immediate ef- fort will-be made to return Koetters to Chicago and -have him placed on trial for the twourder of Mrs. Kraft, the police stated early today. Unconscious and in a dyinz condition irs. Kraft was found in her room in a dewntown hotel on Nov. 14, 1912, by a chambermaid. She died soon after being \ removed to the county hospital.

Mrs. Kraft, it is claimed, frequently loaned money to Koetters, who has been arrested in California for her murder. Finally his request for a loan led to a quarrel and he went to Chicago. After u few days he sent for Mrs. Kraft, She left at once to meet him. A week after her death relatives of Cincinnati went to Chicago and identified her body at the county morgue.

Opponents of municipal ownership fought the. new charter because it enlarged the city’s existing power to acquire public utilities. Many friends of municipal ownership voted against the new charter because they felt the city already had sufficient power to make a test of municipal ownership, and because they feared this test might be delayed in the courts should the city’s right to own and operate utilities be asserted in a new form in a new charter. ownership voted against the new charter because they objected to one or more of the numerous minor changes in governmental form which it pro- posed in its 153 pages of text. Under the charter amendment adopted last spring and confirmed by the Michigan Supreme Court last month, Detroit has authority to buy or build a street railway system and to vote bonds equal to 2 per cent of the city’s assessed valua-. tions, or more than $9,000,000, with which to finance thé undertaking. The new charter would have supplemented this Doubtless many voters who favor municipal] not escape their share of the responsibility. Raine could not have taken, without the knowledge of some of his associates, the bank money to bny the chips he criminally shoved across the table in his gambling game. Once before he had been wn the edge of the precipice, but had been savel by a lucky turn in the market. The directors had no right to share his fatuous confidence in his luck They had no right to make a man of his tvpe the head of the bank and entrust him with the guard- ianship of nearly $400,000 in the savings of the poor and a million and a half of other funds. ~~ The crash in Memphis was not needed to ep- force the old lesson. Banking and gambling ace a combination whose peril cannot be toleratec. Safe- guards that will prevent bank officers who yield unexpectedly to temptation from getting hold of the benk moncy are necded. aL & — a oe, “Mr. Wilson has certainly got off on the right foot in putting into force his announced domestic policy,” says Mr. Taft.

ANSWER: It was selected by the Board of Public Improvements and unanimously ap- proved by a committee of expert, impartial, disinterested engineers. 2. Do we own the Reber approach? ANSWER: Yes, we have condemned and bought $140,000 worth of land for it, which we own. 3. Can we build any other approach? ANSWER: The City Counselor has advised the Municipal Assembly that we have not the lawful power to condemn any more land for any other approach. 4. Will the Reber approach be used? ANSWER: Yes, because of its convenient location it can be used by all the railroads to bring new trade and prosperity to Sst Louis. 5. Is the Reber approach a good approacht ANSWER: Yes, it is the shortest, freest, most-convenient and cheapest approach. 6. Cannot the Reber approach be bottled by’ the Terminal Association? ANSWER: No, because the United States Supreme Court says the tracks and bridges of the Terminal must be kept open to all roads that want to use them, If they can- not bottle their own bridges, they cannot bot- tle the city’s free bridge. 7. Has not the Reber approach $2,750,000 bond iasue been defeated three times? ANSWER: Yes, but it got a big majority of the votes cast and only fell short of the two- thirds majority necessary to carry a bond igpue. 8S What reason is there for believing it would pass now? ANSWER: The United States Supreme Court decision, which opens the Terminal facilities to all roads, has removed the argu- ment which did most to defeat the three bond issues. The bridge cannot be bottled. .. What will the A. & M. plan cost? ANSWER: Either $4,250,000 or $7,000,000. 10, What will the Reber approach cost? ANSWER: $2.750,000. 11, Where will the A. & M. approach endf ANSWER: In St. Clair County, 20 miles away. 12. What is the mature of the A. & M. plan. ANSWER: It is. admittedly a speculative real estate grab. 12. should be done? ANSWER: The House of Delegates should join the Council in submitting to the public a $2,750,000 Reber approach bond issue and let the public decide. s * hv anthorizing the city ta buv or build with ad- | ANOTHER LINCOLN NEEDED. — 2 Written for JUST A MINUTE. the Post-Dispatch by Clark McAdams.

Ie Grahd@fether Huxley rebelled, he said nothing. He began to take the evening paper upstairs after the fam- ily had finished with it, and to spend a great deal of time polishing the sword OF THE HILL. Buena Vista and Monterey. Grandfather Huxley sat looking at the picture hanging under the unfaded spot on the wall paper which marked the sword’s resting piace. After a little the picture faded and grew misty in qut- line. The old man’s head dropped on his chest and he was asleep. He awakened finality with a start. From somewhere below was audible a faint, creaking cry, a wail that beat against the ear insistently,- that paused for a second to go on with fresh vigor. Grandfather uxley looked at the clock, It was 10:30, so Ellen was no? at home. He listened for Nora’s ster. Hearing no one, ae got up heavily and went downstairs to the nursery. The wicker structure of tne baby’s bed was vibrant with its occupant's rage. From among the dotted Swiss rufflings and blue ribbons, (jrandfather Huxley extracted his great-grandchild and gathered him into his empty old arms. The baby quieted at once; his wrinkled face relaxed, and he settled comfortably, seeming to realize the prac- ticed touch of hands that had handled, en occasion, three generations cf babies. It was an hour later when Ellen came he had carried in the Mexican War. Old people as a rule have few pos- sessions. One by one they dispose «* | unnecessary things.

And so with Grandfather Huxley; the Saabaliens of a lifetime bad dwindled to a huge wpholstered chair, with which he defiantly refused to part, and his old sword. The sword hung in its ‘scabbard just acro@s from the old man’s bed, where, in the sleepless hours that come to ag», he cotild He and dream about it. After his ninetieth birthday Grandfa- ther liuxley became abnormally sensi- tive. Sometimes he could hear scraps of conversation about him. “And how is the old. man today? It’s almost uncanny, isn’t it?” “Oh, bé’s always just the same. But jn thé nature of things he won't be with us very long.” Oné day sOme army officers dined at the house. Grandfather Huxley polished ~ his sword until it glittered, and fixed ' his white neckcloth with trembling fin- gers. At the table the conversation turned to things military, and the old ‘man, filled with fire, told of that won- Gerful campaign of 147. The officers ‘Hietened respectfully—they were gallant _ fellows; but when Grandfather Huxley droppéa Back in his chair he heard the apologetic voice of his grand-daughter Ellen across the table. *¥e’s a dear old soul,” she said, “but getting childish now; go on with what After dinner the old man went uwp- staire.

She tiptoed upstairs ahead of her husband; then she paused and, with her finger on her lips, cautioned him to silence. The oldest and the young- est member of the family sat before the fire in dreamy, open-eyed content. When she saw they were awake Ellen went over and, stooping down, kissed first the baby, then the old man. “He wakened, and Nora must have been asleep,”’ said Grandfather Huxley, apologetically. Elien slipped her hand into his with a grateful little pressure. “What should we do without you?” she said impulsively. ‘“‘This family with- out you would be a ship without a keel, youldn’t it?’’ Grandfather Huxley smiled, the first time for a week, Ellen got up and went toward the door. “I’m going to bring you something to eat. You ate no dinner at all, and there are some of those little cream cakes left. Perhaps, ff you eat something. you won't need the sleeping medicine.” Grandfather Huxley choked. “I'm going to throw that stuff away, every drop of it,” he said firmly. Left alone, he gathered the youngster closer in his arms. “So the old man’s of some use, after all,” he mused. “A ship without a keel, eh?” A little Jater Ellen and her husband, in the butler’s pantry below, stopped to listen. Grandfather Huxley was sing- ing to the baby, and down the stairs came the stirring words of “The Sword of Bunker Hill,”” sung in a thin, trem- ulous old voice, (Copyright, the Frank A. Munsey Co.) The Diary of a Showgirl. A By Blanche Ring. QONDAY,—I open tonight in our M new show, “The Sultan’s Cinch,”” and my nerves are all over the place. When I look back to the water tank that gave me the inspiration my old friend Omar got from a jug of red ink, I curse the day I moved away fram the catch-as-catch- can table d’hote. And here I am—or as the poet says, here am I—waiting for the cut flowers. I always note Monday, be- cause we have a rehearsal whether we need. it or not. Heaven knows, after Sunday all I need is a facial massage and hours and hours and HOURS of death-like slumber. I’m with Sarah Bernhardt on that proposition. That's what keeps us young and tempera- mental. TUBSDAY.—Twas ever thus since childhood’s earliest “Supe?ba.” Last night I saw three critics gazing at me —fazing intertiy—but I looked in vain for a record of my triumph when I blew myself for their papers today.

These knocks I receive with a great deal of happiness, because they help to fill the ball park with haters of Murphy who have paid their gate money to help make Murphy rich. “As for Evers, I did what I thought was best for the club.

LOUIS men Try to Prevent Two Oil Tanks From Igniting. Fire, fanned by a strong wind from the northeast, swept the Hammar Bros. White Lead Works in East St. Louis Wednesday night, resulting in injuries to two firemen and a loss estimated at .more than $400,000 and Thursday vwnorn- ‘ng the flames were unchecked, despite tne efforte of the local department, two companies from st. Louis, volunteers from neighboring packing houses and _citizens, When it became apparent that the plant was virtually destroyed, the fire fighters directed their efforts to two large tanks in the center of the works, each containing 25,000 gallons of linseed oll, which were in danger of igniting at any moment. Two Men Fall From Ladder. Tom Combs, a pipeman of Engine Company No. 4, was overcome by smoke, slipped from a ladder and fell 2 feet into burning debris. He was re- moved to Henrietta Hospital. Mike To- bin, Fire Chief, also fell from a ladder and was injured. Sparks and burning brands were car- ried by the wind a block away to the Purina Cereal Mills, igniting the. roof of the main building. Two companies of firemen raced down the Vandalia railroad tracks and put out this fire. Firemen fought the flames at the lead works under extreme difficulties. Hose became frozen to ladders and debris. Water froze almost as fast as it fell on the ground and ladders became coated with ice. While the fire fighters were at work. thieves broke into the house of Engine Company No. 6, on First street, north of St. Clair avenue, and robbed the lockers, taking $6 in cash from _ the clothes of Capt. James Donahue, and $5 in cash from other lockers. A num- ber of diamond pins and rings and other jewelry was unmolested, George F. Bond, a watchman for the B. & O. railroad, discovered the fire at 9p. m, The plant was closed and ’ he ran a quarter of a mile to turn in an alarm, then returned to the lead works and released 50 horses and mules from the stabies. . st. Louis Asked for Help. Engine Company No. 6 responded to “the first alarm. A general alarm fol- lowed, and when the firemen were un- able to check the flames, St. Louis wasi ‘ealléd on for assistance. Volunteer bri- gades also were formed by citizens and the emergency fire corps maintained by the packing companies in the neighbor- hood were called out. Two corroding sheds, in which more than $600,000 worth of lead was stored, were first to fall before the flames. As the molten lead may be scraped up lator and remelted, there will be a salvage of approximately 60 per cent on this, it was said. Fiames superheated a large water tank used in connection with an interior overhead fire equipment in the plant, ‘and it fell, crashing through the north- east corner of the mixing building, which caught fire. This building was four stories high and contained all the “machinery of the plant. Lead, burning because of the linseed oil in it, made the efforts of the firemen futile, A corps of men, led by Superintendent Lowenstein of the lead works, removed all records and papers of value from the office building, which later ignited andj virtually was destroyed. The plant covers more than a block of ground on the north side of St. Clair avenue, between the Vandalia and the B. & O. railroad tracks. For thre hours traffic was blocked on these lines, the Cotton Belt, Terminal ang Burling- ton was blocked by lines of hose stretched across the tracks. ' As the flames gained headway, the “hay and grain barns ‘of W. D. Abra- ham, near by, were endangered, as were many houses in the neighborhood. Despite the extreme cold, 000 persons gathered along the railroad tracks of the B. & O. and watched the fire. * Frank Hammar, president of the com- pany, ts out of the city.

Mayor Kirkpatrick and suvvorters of the Socilaist administration in Granite City, saw in the petition presented to the regular meeting of thé City Coun- cil Tuesday night, asking that the of- fice of Chief of Police be made elective instead of appointive by an ordinance effective for the April election, an ef- fort to oust Chief of Police Adolph White. He is the Socialist appointee of the Mayor, who has been serving for two years as a holdover because the Mayor continued to renominate him, and the Council has refused to approve his ap- pointment, The petition w signed by 115 voters in the Fourth Ward, including the two Aldermen, and after ‘being P tampnnon read was turned over to the Ordinance Com- rhittee with instructions that it be re- ported next Tuesday. Alderman Stephen Waters, chairman of the Ordinance Committee, said that he had instructed City Counsellor Stall- ings to draw up an ordinance, and that it probably would be reported out by the committee and receive favorable ac- tion by the Council next Tuesday. He said he had reason to believe the exec- utive would veto it, but that the Coun- cil would pass it over his veto. The Mayor said he would wait until the ordinance was adopted before de- ciding on what course he would take. Chief White said that the men who were supporting the ordinance made 2 bitter fight three vears ago to have the office changed from elective to ap- pointive. Waters said that at the time the office was made appointive it was filed by a man, whom the Council wanted to oust because they believed he had been derelict in his duty, and that he favored the change.

The bullet penetrated the body, emerging at the right hip. , Nine guests at the hotel, which is at Third street and Missouri avenue, the entrance to a segregated district called “The Valley,” were arrested in a raid made by 15 officers a few minutes after Lawson was found by Patroiman Earl. All deny any knowledge of the shoot- ing and Lawson refused ‘to tell the police anything about it except to say that it occurred outside of the hotel.

LONDON, Feb. 12.—-Premier Asquith today again refused British official par- ticipation in the Panama-Pacific Exposi- tion at San Francisco.

Crowded conditions, which are con- tinually growing worse, in the East St. Louis High School, are causing the Board of Education to seriéusly consider plans for a new building or an annex to take care cf the over- flow. It is thought by some that an annex to temporarily relieve the con. gestion will be the better plan, but all are agreed that the city must have new up-to-date high school buildii..« within the next few years. According to Principal H. J. Alvis, 112 new students enrolled Feb, 1, while only 19 were graduated, mak- ing the total enrollmen a as com- pared with 520 af’ the s ‘¥ime last year. This increase of nearly 20 per cent for a single year, he says, taxes the present accommodations to the limit, and a corresponding increase next year could not be cared for. However, even greater attendance is expected by the educators for next year for two reasons. The first: is that the unusually small high school attendance in East St. Louis, in pro- portion to population, caused by boys and girls going to work when they finish the eighth grade, is apparentiv being overcome by a realization by parents that their children need more education. In the second place, a large outly- ing district at the eastern extremity of the city, known as Edgemont, is making an effort to become a part of the East St. Louis school district in order to obtain the advantages of the high school. The present high school building was erected 20 years ago and was for 10 years used as a grade school and high school. Since it has been levoted to high school purposes at- tendance has increased. The East St. Louis school district is in splendid condition to erect a new building, according to pe S. Pidgeon, secretary of the Board of Education. The remaining bonded in- debtedness of $60,000 on the present high-school building will be paid when it falls due in April, he says, with money already in the treasury The other bonded indebtedness of the district amounts to only $282,000, while under the constitution the valu- ation of the district would allow it to vote bonds to the amount of $700,000. ECONOMIC BASIS FOR MARRIAGE ADVOCATED Mary C. Bourland of. Pon- tiac Speaks Before East St. Louis Women. Mrs. Mary C. Bourland of Pontiac, T1., president of the Child’s Walfare Committee of the Illinois Federation of Women’s Clubs, spoke before nearly 100 members of the East St. Louis Wom- en’s Civic Federation at the Y. W. © A. Wednesday afternoon. She commended the members on thelr campaign to interest the women of the city in the coming Be, ring election, and urged that they e themselves fa- miliar with every phase of the suffrage question. She advocated an economic basis for marriage, but said she could not tell just how it would work out. She said every girl should be trained to make her own living, and that when she mar- ried she should contribute her share to the family support. WOMAN CHASES AND CAPTURES BURGLAR R. BE.
