Clark said:

country has openly violated the neutrality
laws. There has never been an effort to
enforce any of them. If We should go into
foreign country-say Mexico under like
conditions and attempt to do what the
British are doing in the United States now
our representatives would be arrested and
put into prison That is what could be
done with the British officers in Lathrop"
Representative Cochran was asked If he
thought anything would result from the in

Lathrop.
Nothing whatever" he said. THAT side

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Lathrop. Mo. April 10.-Residents oi
Lathrop and the farmers in this vicinity are
preparing a petition to Governor Dockery.
setting forth the facts in relation to the
mule and horse market here and asking him
not to interfere in any way with its main
tenance. The people here are materially In
terested in the continuance of British pur-
chases Thousands OF dollars monthly are
thereby brought 10 this town.
The petition TO Governor Dockery will
deny allegations giving ground for interfer-
ence on the part of the Government or the
State, and will contain the statement that
no men have ever been recruited here for
service in the British army.
Report on Interference.
There IL a report here that President
.Roosevelts order to investigate the Bfitlsh
mule purchases in America include an ex-
animation of the mule yards here at La
throp. Mules are sent from here to New
Orleans, where they are sent to South
Africa.

ernment- does n. own a dollar of the prop
erty in Clinton county. and that no horses
have been bought by & the SIRIUS British VA Mar e De-
chases were all made in South Africa. these
British officers say.
The attention of Governor Dockery Vas
called to the statement that the British
Government has been buying horses and
mules here for nearly a year. The horses
are bought in the name of J. D. Guytol and
w. r. Harrington, two horse and mule
dealers here, who have yards in Sansas
City and East St. Louis The tacts> have
been laid before Congress. also and it is
believed here that the Investigation of the

Builders Cut Off One Room to Get
Permit to Erect the
Structure.
EXTENSION OF FIRE LIMITS.
Deputy Commissioner Stemme
Questions Whether the Bound
aries Should Not Be Enlarged
South of Forest Park.

On the south side Of Forest Park a new
hotel will be built. but il will be a differ
ent structure. in one way at least, than
the apartment-houses on the north and east
sides of the big public pleasureground. In
the Department of Public Buildings it is
called the Worlds Fair Hotel. because it
will be the first building Of its kind on
structed near the Worlds Fair site.
A permit authorizing the construction OF
the building was issued yesterday by l.. e.
F. Stemme. Deputy Commissioner of Pub
lie Buildings. Application was previously
made for a permit. but the petition was
denied on account of the regulations
against fire. The application was modified
and again presented yesterday.
The permit was issued to Kingsley and
Sawyer 1t authorizes the construction of a
four-story frame building. costing 5000,
TO be used as hotel. at Nos. 59l5-21 Clay
ton avenue. The original plans contem-
plated a building with fifty sleeping rooms
above the first floor. but the permit al
lows only forty-nine rooms. The reason
for this change Is explained by Mr.. Stemme.
THE law prohibits frame building with
fifty sleeping-rooms or more. above the first
floor inside the city limits. Because the
hotel would have fifty rooms above the first
floor We refused permit. Subsequently
we received an application for permit to
erect a building having forty-nine rooms
above the first floor. We could not refuse
the application.
Now. it is questionable whether the fire
limits should not be extended farther
southwest. To the north of Forest Park all
the districts. as far west as the city limits.
and as far north as Easton avenue, is in
side the fire limits. The limits end at
Kings Highway boulevard on the south side
of Forest Park. The park is within the
limits. l believe It would be well to extend
the limits west Of Kings Highway boule-
ward on the south side of the park?'

quoted as saying that he was practically
here the same as any private citizen would
be, although he is an army officer and has
seen active service during seventeen months
in South Africa He said the British Gov

here. but has sent some of its army officers

Lathrop an Ordinary Town.
Now. Lathrop is an ordinary little town of
100 inhabitants. and it might strike the
average American that the officers afore-
said had lost their bearings and were trying
to locate the State of Missouri in the city Of
St Louis. In this case, however. the joke
officer knows what few Americans have
heard of-that Lathrop. Mo-, Is in a sense
the largest horse and mule market In eX-
istence.
The Guyton & Harrington Mule Company

the past ten years. and for some time have

sarily numerous. William Francis. resi-

and mule dealers in the country.

The members composing the company are
mostly Southerners and have found a warm

one wants to see the end of the Boer war.
Everybody frowns on the reported coming
of Secret-Service officials to determine
whether this can be called British war
