DRIVE OVER THE CITY.
Mayor and Works Board Members
Have Outing.


For the purpose of inspecting streets
asked for by the Interurban Terminal Com
pany, of having look at places where new
sewers are in demand and of planning
routes for water main extensions, Mayor
Bookwalter and the three members Of the
Board of Works drove over most of the
city yesterday. Chairman Megrew said
last night that nothing definite was deter
mined on by the mayor and the board, al
though a number of improvements sug
gested themselves.
Did you look at any of the streets with
the idea that some of them asked for by
the terminal company are rather narrow
for street-railway tracks," ne was asked.
I'VE examined them from every point of
view" he replied. Some of them are mar
row, ii is true. and the resident property
owners do not take kindly to the terminal
cOmpany's proposition"
The chairman said he was unable to state
when a reply would be given the terminal
company. Maybe next week, maybe the
week after" he said. There is no hurry"
The board, among other things. attended
auction of school property on Thirty
first street. Mr. Logsdon bought a house,
or rather il was knocked down to him, al
though the mayor is said TO be the pur-
chaser.

AGAIN WITHOUT A HOME.
Mrs. Richard Fletcher in Care of the
Police MatrOn.

Mrs. Richard Fletcher. the aged woman
found wandering in a weed patch several
weeks ago, is again in the custody of the
police matron and is without permanent
home. She was yesterday delivered to the
police by the matron of the Kelley Home
for Aged Women. The latter institution is
unable to keep her longer because of Mrs.
Fletcher's lack of funds.
Mrs. Fletcher is in a sad predicament.
Once wealthy and prosperous, she will not
consent to go to the county infirmary, al
though poverty has become her lot in her
declining years. An effort is being made 10
find her a home with a sister living in
Lima. o. Mrs. Fletcher has a son living In
the West, but letters received by the au-
thorities do not recommend him as per-
son responsible to assume the care OF an
aged mother. The police matrons are at a
loss to solve the problem of how to dis
pose of the silver-haired woman. The Char
ity Organization has been working in her
behalf, but thus far il has not succeeded
in finding a home for her.

C0LORED FEMALE R0BBER
BELLE DAVIS, WITH SEVERAL
ALIASES, UNDER ARREST.
with Female Companion She Rob-
bed a Negro in the street.
Wig story.

Belle Davis, alias Marshall, alias Bristow,
one of the most notorious colored criminals
in police annals, was arrested last night by
Detectives Kinney and Lancaster, charged
with grand larceny and highway robbery.
Immediately after her arrest she swallowed
an ounce of laudanum from a bottle she
had concealed in her dress. When the pa
troll wagon reached the police station she
in a dying condition, but emetics ap-
piled by City Dispensary physicians will
save her life.
The crime for which the woman was ar
rested was the theft of a pocketbook con-
tanning $35. belonging to Mrs. Rose Mahon,
of No. SIS North Illinois street. The theft
committed last January. She succeed
ed in eluding the detectives and was not
heard from until night before last, when
she and another woman waylaid a colored
man on North Senate avenue and robbed
him of a gold watch. The arrest of her
complete resulted in a clew to Bellies
whereabouts. After a long wait last night
she put in her appearance in a SciotO-street
house and was Immediately ARE. Ted. 1t
was then that she took the laudanum.
While searching for Belle the detectives
found Aaron Lyle, also colOred, who is
wanted for the theft of two hats from the
house of Mrs. Dunbar. No. Iii North Sem
ate avenue. Lyle was charged with petit
larceny.
Belle Davis is known in police annals as
the "wig-on, wig-off" woman. Several
years ago she was arrested for series of
robberies and was sentenced to the Wom-
ans Prison. After being released she had
her hair shaved off and wore a wig. She
would commit robberies with the wig
and when in a place of refuge would re-
move the wig and II would completely baf
fe all who attempted to identify her and
connect her with crimes. She was finally
photographed in the Bertillon room at the
police station without the wig and with it
on. In this way the police have succeeded
in obtaining clews TO her. She took the
wig off last night after her arrest and it
lay beside her while she suffering from
the effects Of the drug. She has caused the
local detectives more trouble than any
woman known to the police.
