GOOD ROADS QUESTION
Considerable Interest Is Being ArSaSed
Over Proposition of Securing "
Better Highways.

The good roads meeting which
twas called to be held at the city hall
Saturday afternoon adjourned to the
jcounty court room where number
of farmers had met to discuss the
proposition of immediate action with
reference TO making systematic
Icampaign of the county to determine
the amount of land to be planted to
cotton this year. There appeared to
be some misunderstanding about
the meeting OF the cotton growers.
without any official notice TO guide
them some were OF the opinion that
Saturday was the date for holding
precinct meetings, while others
thought county meeting would be
held first for the purpose of outlining
plans for the holding of meetings in
every school district in the county
After some discussion OF the matter
ii was voted unanimously to organize
The Ellis County Cotton Association
at once. The organization formed
by electing the following officers:
Jas. S. Davis. president. r. X.
Erwin, vice president; W. A. ownby,
secretary.
Plans for obtaining census of
the cotton crop were then discussed
II was finally decided TO appoint
committee whose duty it would be
TO procure a list Of the school trus-
tees in Ellis county, prepare and
send them blanks to be signed by the
farmers. showing the amount of cot
ton planted last year and the amount
to be planted this year One blank
contains a pledge by which farmer
obiigates himself to reduce his cot
ton acreage this year. The other is
for the signature of those farmers
who may reduce their acreage and is
for the purpose of obtaining state
ments from them, showing the num-
ber of acres planted last year and
the number they intend planting this
year After securing the signature
of every farmer in their respective
communities the trustees are in
structed 10 forward the blanks by
mail TO Col. Jas S, Davis. at Austin,
Texas. in time for them to reach
him not later than Monday, Febru
airy 20. the date for the state con
vention OF cotton growers
The committee appointed to look
after the above matter is composed
of the following gentlemen: Jas.
Is, Davis, w. j. F. Ross. E. H. Grit

in for liberal and enthusiastic dis
cussion.

FLAT BURGLAR AT BAY CUTS.
Meets Policeman on Fire Escape and Is
Captured.

One Of four thieves caught yesterday soon
after they had entered the home OF Emerch Kohn
a lawyer. who with his wife. his brother, Samuel
f. Cohn. and Mrs. Kohns father-in-law. Max
Roth occupies the second fiat in the building at
10sth-st. and MadisOn-ave.
Leaving one of their number to act as a look
out three OF the gang scaled the high iron fence
on the 1O9th-st. side OF the building. and reached
the Kohn apartments by the fire escape. Samuel
Lewis was captured after he had held the house
hold at bay with a carving knife and had cut Mr.
Roth on the left and in the left side.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kohn had been awakened by the
disturbance in the dining room, and say they saw
Lewis rummaging about IN a bureau. The four oc-
cupants of the fiat surrounded Lewis In the dining
room, but he snatched a carving knife from table
and backed up against the wall. lunging about
hercely with the knife when anybody approached
him. He then jumped out on the fire escape and
began to descend.
Roundsman Monahan. of the East 1O4th-st. sta
ton, had been attracted by the cries OF Mr. Roth
and Mr. Kohn from the window and maxim
his way up the fire escape when Lewis started TO
go down. Lewis continued TO climb down. and
tried 10 cut Monahan with the knife. With his
nightstick Monahan knocked the knife from the
thief's hand, and stunned him with a blow on the
head. Lewis was held in $500 bail.

nXed them as follows From Warren-st- (Which

along the latter to the town line of F1atbush,
across sth-st- and the city line to I0th-ave., to
Sd-st. and then parallel to VanderbiIt-ave., to
Warren-st, and up the latter street TO the point
OF beginning In the old Manual of the Com
mon Council of Brooklyn for 1863 which con-
tanned the report of the Park Commissioners a
map Of Prospect Park is shown taking in all this
territory. The engineer in his report said:
Nearly in the centre of this park is the dis
tributng reservoir, from which a panorama
view is obtained Of the cities of New-York
Brooklyn, the inner and outer harbor with their
Of Jersey.
The report of the Park Department for 1868
says:
The idea originally contemplated of esta blish-
Ing the park east Of Flatbush-ave. has been
abandoned by the commissioners, the landscape
archltects representing that the land itself is
Aot dudpIsq 10 park purposes, and that to bisect
the grounds by a leading thoroughfare like
Flatbush-ave. (Which would be the result If the
original idea was adhered to) would not only
destroy the symmetry, but add largely to the
cost Of the park. The proposition now is
mat OF the land on the east side of Flatbush-
ave about ten acres should be added TO the
distributing reservoir grounds thirty acres
should be reserved for public buildings and the
residue should be sold under restrictions that
would insure the erection Of first class resi-
dences adorned by beautiful grounds It is ex-
pected that at least Sl,5OO,OO0 be realized
from such a sale. while much more would
be saved in the expense Of improvement.
Prior to this the city had already purchased
enough additional property on the west side Of
the park to bring 1t out to its present limits in
that direction. There are few persons in Brook
Ign now who know that that section of the
borough lying to the east Of the Eastern Park
way. between Vanderbilt-ave. and Washington
ave. and running far as Prospect Place was
formerly park site and owned by the city
Some alleged trregularity in the bill giving the
city the right to sell this property is what kept
II from being built up more rapidly with private
houses good part Of it is still vacant land.
1t may be interesting also TO note that In an
early report of the Park Commissioners il was
stated that the county had recently bought
property in that vicinity for courthouse Just
why that plan was never carried out is not
known.
