FAVOR MAYORS
dixie PROJECT.
Real Estate Men Begin Active
Campaign to Protect East st.
Louis From Floods.

Real estate men of East ST. Louis yes
terday began an active campaign in favor
of Mayor Cooks dixie project. Circulars
were distributed over the greater portion
Of the city. These contained Endorsements
of the dixie scheme by industries and
prominent citizens.
Mayor Cook said that the money col
lected on the first years taxation would
be used on the Illinois Central rght-of-
way. to raise and strengthen its tracks
from a point beyond the break which
flooded East St Louis to Trendley avenue.
General Manager Wallace OF the Illi-
nois Central Railroad" said Mayor Cook.
assured me that he realized that the Illi-
nois Central Railroad would be specially
benefited by raising the roadbed and that
he was willing to give the city all of the
assistance in his power. He said that his
road would do more than its share toward
raising and Strengthening the roadbed to
form a levee. as this would give them un-
interrupted service during times Of high
water"
Mayor Cook says that Engineer Helm
has estimated that the Illinois Central
roadbed must be made twenty feet wide
feet above the last high-water mark. He
stated that he had been assured that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad would raise
its roadbed and assist the city in strength
ening 1t, so that uninterrupted service
could be given to Cone Station, which Is
within two blocks of the Relay Station,
East St Louis.

Electric Railway for $4,000 damages on
trial in the East ST. Louis City Court. the
plaintiffs closed their case yesterday anc
the defense Is expected to close this MORN
ing.
The suit grows out of the collision of a
Nandalia passenger train with an East st.
Louis street car last June, in which five
persons lost their lives Roy was the
engineer of the vandalia train. He was
running with his locomotive turned back
ward and could not see the car.
The attorneys for the street car COM
pany moved that the case be taken away
from the jury on the ground that the
street car company was operating under
railroad franchise and that the statutes
compel engineers of trains to come to a
stop at every railroad crossing.
Mortimer Willard and Frank c. Smith
for the plaintiffs argued that although the
street car company was built under L
railroad charter. it was operating US q
street car line and not as q railroad. and
therefore the statutes which applied to
trains stopping at railroad crossings did
not apply to the V;tndalia train at this
crossing.
Judge Meyers upheld the latter arsu-
ment and instructed that the defense sub
NIT their evidence.
