Tickets to the St. Louis Convention Forty
Dollars a Seat.


ST. LOUIS, May 1.-THE unfor-

suitable for the republican national
convention has entailed an addi.
tional expense Of $4,000 on the
Business Mems league, which body
secured the convention and as
sumed the financial responsibility.
To meet this extra outlay the lea
que issued an announcement that
they had secured number OF ad-
mission tickets from the national
republican committee and would
sell them at $40 a seat. This ac-
tion receives scanty endorsement
from the public. Opinion among
leading citizens, not members Of
the league, is that that body is ped
ding the credit of the city.

Francisco Navarro Arrested, Accused of
Attempting to Rape Addie Owens,
Aged Seven Years = The
Mothers Statement.

Little Addie Owens tells horri-
bic tale about Francisco Navarro,
about "A years OF age. Navarro was
arrested by officer Patterson about
10 o'clock last night on charge OF
attempt to rape. Addie Owens Is
about Z years of age, and the
daughter of Matte Owens, who
lives on West Houston street, OPP
posite the gas factory.
The mother related the following
story to a LIGHT reporter last
night:
II sent the baby to a store down
the street about 9 o'clock to buy me
some SNUFF. She was gone longer
than usual, and began to feel I'M
easy about her. l walked along the
street to see il / could meet her,
and when / passed a restaurant at
the corner of Laredo street l saw
her coming out OF the yard. She
told me that Mexican man had
taken her into rear room OF the
restaurant, and explained what
happened there. | asked her IL she
would know the man to see him
and she said she would. l can't
see very we'll and l told her to TAX e
me to the place. She took me into
a back room, in which there were
two beds. A Mexican woman was
lying on one of these and when /
spoke to her she pretended as
though she couldn't understand
me. / was then taken into an
other room, where several Next
cans were, and she pointed out
one OF them. / asked him to step
up to the ligho so that | could see
him. He pretended as if he
couldn't understand me, and |
went close up to him and motioned
to him to come out. wanted to
have him walk down the street so
that could find policeman. He
wouldn't come out and l got mad
and told him IL / had pistol |
WOuIu SuOOG hlhl vi tho SPOV'
/ then sent the baby to
my mother, Nettie Owens, to tell
her to 60 for a policeman at once,
while | stayed at the restaurant to
watch that the Mexican wouldn't
get away. Officer Patterson soon
arrived and arrested the man, after
my daughter had identified him
the second time"
Addie Owens said that when she
passed the restaurant, Navarro
told her to 60 into a room with
him, he had something to tell her.
She told him to tell her where he
was, aud he said that some.
body may hear it. She told
him to say it in a low tone so
that nobody could hear, and said
that he then picked her up and
carried her into dark room, but
that she slipped away before he
accomplished his purpose.
The reporter inquired at the
restaurant, which is conducted by
FREDERICK Navarro, brother OF the
accused, for q statement, but nc
one there seemed to know any
thing about it, nor did they ever
seem to know Navarro had beer
arrested. They professed ute
ignorance Of the matter.
