BUSINESS MEMS DINNER
PROMINENT SPEAKERS ARE TO
STIR UP DISCUSSION ON MU-
NICIPAL IMPROVEMENT.

Members of the University Business
Men s association are arranging for a
large meeting and banquet to be held
Tuesday evening, Dec. II, at the College
Inn, Fourth street Sc, near Fourteenth
avenue. A splendid program has been
arranged and among the speakers will
be Judge L. w. Collins, Mayor j. G.
Haynes, Alderman E. G. Chatfeld and
W. p. Satterlee, Representative B. H.
Timberlake and H. B. Chamberlain,
John Waldo Perkins, l.. W. Campbell
and H. L. Patthey. At the meeting a
number of important questions will be
discussed at length in the interest Of
proposed Improvements in East Mime
apolis and concerning particularly the
university district. At the meeting the
acquisition Of the property occupying
the entire block between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth avenues and University and
Fourth will be discussed. The plan of
those interested in a proposed park
would have it's great advantages for the
business men of that district, as it
would increase the value of their loca-
tions and would make it a more at
tractive location for shopping than ever.
AS it is, the corner is far from being
beautiful and it is hardly fit surround
ing for the land on which the state uni
versity, with all it's fine and imposing
buildings, stands.

TOO DIRTY FOR BUSINESS
CENTRAL AVENUE MERCHANTS
WANT CLEANER STREET-AVE-
NUE. SWEPT ONLY ONCE A

Central avenue merchants are up in
arms against the street commissioner
and feel justly indignant that the prin-
cipal street Of business of East Mime
apolis-Central avenues not kept
in cleaner condition. This most i'm
portant avenue of commerce on the
East Side is cleaned-if everything
goes well-once a week. In consid
Grafton of the terrible dry and dusty
weather conditions this is far from be-
ing sufficient. The lack of cleaning
this street causes positive damage to
some of the merchants inasmuch as they
find it impossible to protect their goods.
There are days when the dirt
cannot be kept out Of the stores and it
means an additional force of employees
to sweep and dust continuously. Cen
trail avenue from Nicollet island to
Fourth street Sc is not in the very best
shape as it is. The street needs re-
paving very much; parts of the stones
are loose, there" are inclines and holes
at some of the crossings and it is a
Irregular matter of ups and downs. All
this, of course, tends to hold the dust
aid dirt which accumulates during the
day, and all it needs is an occasional
gust of wind to stir it up nicely and to
make a cloud Of black matter sweep
| over the street from one end to the
other. The business men on the street
are , considering the ACCESSIBILITY of

J by which they can in a way put a stop
ITO the nuisance which threatens their
trade, as it. causes hundreds of dollars

that date from the beginning of the
year. The book indexes are edited by

CRAWFORD SEEKS A PAROLE.
Young Man in Prison for Murder Suf-
fering from tuberculosis.

A number of Barber county persons
are here today to discuss the matter of
pardoning Oscar Crawford, a Barber
county young man who is in the peni-
tertiary under sentence for murder
in the first degree. Crawford's father,
J. F. Crawford, is here to urge the
pardon, while County Attorney J. N
Tincher, DR.. r. A. Coleman and Henry
Rule are here to protest.
Young Crawford is suffering with
tuberculosis. and the prison physician
mas notlned governor Balley that ne
will not live long in the penitentiary.
The prison authorities have recon-
mended his parole if his life is to be
saved. Ex-Governor Stanley has also
been interested in trying to get pa
role for Crawford.
The matter was presented to Gov
ernor Bailey a few weeks ago, but he
notified the elder Crawford that a no
tice of the applications for a pardon
would have to be published in the
local papers in Barber county. This
was done, and it aroused opposition to
the pardon. County Attorney Tincher
and Henry Rule, father of the young
man who was killed, took DIR. Cole
man to the penitentiary Friday and
had Coleman make an examination OF
young Crawford. DIR. Coleman claims
Crawford is in no immediate danger.
Young Crawford and Levi Rule
were two of a gang of young fellows
who got drunk one night down in
Barber county. They had been
up 10 that liLl6y anu WHISKY
was the cause of all the trouble.
Young Rule had a revolver which he
shot off over the other boys heads
until it was taken away from him, and
then he is said to have got hold of an
other. The stories of the friends of
the two parties differ, of course, but
it seems that while they were drunk
Rule and Crawford had a fight, in
which Crawford got the worst of it.
Later it looked as though the row was
to be renewed, when Crawford got
out. his pocket knife and cut his way
out of the crowd. Rule was the prin-
cipal sufferer and he died. Crawford
was arrested and convicted of murder
in the first degree and given a hang
sentence. He went to the penitentiary
in February, 1903. Soon afterwards
he had a violent attack of the mumps,
which was followed by pneumonia,
and that ran into tuberculosis. He
has been in the prison hospital for the
last six months, but the friends of
Rule are very much opposed to his
parole.

DON'T WANT TO LOSE HIM.
Salina Is Worried About DIR. Estey
Coming to Topeka.

Concerning the possibility of DR..
Estey leaving Salina for Topeka, to
take charge of the First Presbyterian
church, the Salina Journal says:
They're after him.
There is no use Disgusting the fact
that there is grave danger of Salina
losing DR.. S. S. Estey. The First Pres
byterian church of Topeka has it's toll
line out and is angling for him. A
committee from the Topeka church was
here a short time ago and heard DR..
Estey and returned home with the re-
suit that the doctor was invited to
to the capital city Saturday and preach
ed there Sunday morning.
When DR.. Estey was seen this morn
ing and asked as to the possible
change he refused to make any state
ment further than that he had no call
from the Topeka church and until such
a call had been made by those who had
authority to make it, any statement
from him would be premature. The
doctor was very much pleased with his
reception by the Topeka people, as was
also Mrs. Estey, who accompanied him.
The Topeka church is one of the larg-
being in the capital city. Still, Salina
people refuse to bow before the ha1-rsSty
city on the Kaw and while, should the
doctor accept the call, which will un-
doubtedly be made, he may find a
church of more people but not better
people than that of which he has been
pastor for the past four years.
1t has only been a few years since a
former pastor of the Presbyterian
church of this city left for a larger
church in Kansas City and now comes

Question Adjusted at Secret
Meeting.

At a secret meeting of the ways and
means committee held Thursday night,
IT was decided to recommend to the
city council an increase in the city tax
levy from 20 mills on the dollar to y
mills on the dollar.
The levy of 1 mill for park improve
ment purposes was cut to II mill, and
the board Of park commissioners is pre-
pairing to make a strenuous fight
against the reduction. There is consid-
cradle indignation expressed at what is
termed the snap judgment of the
ways and means committee in holding
q secret meeting in July, and deciding
the matter without giving the park
commissioners a chance to be heard
The meeting to discuss the tax levy is
usually held in August
Chairman William Green was asked
today the reason for keeping the meet
ing secret. He said:
I'VE did not want anybody to hear
our remarks 1 don't think II is of any
interest to the public what we say in
those meetings, and even if it is of in
sterest, the public has no business to
want to know
The following is the levy which the
committee will recommend to the coun-
ell at the meeting Monday night, and
