NO MOVE MADE To
BREAK DEADLOCK
MAYOR CONTINUES TO IGNORE
COUNCILS COMPROMISE
Public improvements Are Tied UP
Tighter Every Day as Result
of Situation and Streets
Suffer

Mayor McAleer has yet made no
move to meet the council half way on
it's offer Of compromise on the board
Of public works question by having the
civic bodies each select three men from
which the mayor might select the
board, and there is no indication that
he will. It seems to be his intention to
play waiting game as long as the
council and by firing that body force
confirmation of the three names he may
select.
Meanwhile public improvements are
tied up tighter every day. The city
attorney has ruled that the council has
not even the privilege of opening bids.
but that the board of public works must
dc so. And there is no board of works.
The streets, especially in the down.
town district, are already showing the
effect of the deadlock. p. A. Howard,
who has the contract for street sweep
ing. is known to be anxious to get rid
of IL If he can do so without sacrificing
his bond. He has been declared negli-
gent in his duties by the street superin-
tendert and was cited to appear before
the council a few weeks ago to show
cause why the contract should not be
taken from him. He failed to appear
and the case was turned over to the
city attorney. But there 1t was called
to a. halt, for the full force of what 1t
meant was brought home to the coun-
cilmen.
RI they take the contract away from
Howard the streets will not be swept
at all. for neither the council nor any
committee Of that body has the power
| to make new contract for street
sweeping. This is one of the duties OF
the board Of public works.

ately cut herself when she broke the
window glass and that she had planned
out the whole story with great care.
Special Policeman Foster, who is an
acquaintance Of the Lovetts, had his
suspicious aroused and he had been
quietly working on the case until suf-
ficlent evidence could be produced that
would result in a reputation of Mrs.
Brands Browns story.
Subjected to the sweating process in
the private office of Captain Flammer.
the young woman's nerve left her and
she broke completely down.
Child Pleads for Nurse
In little Emory Lovett the culprit
had the strongest witness in her behalf.
His love for her and the care she took
of the child has made Mr.. Lovett I'M
willing to prosecute, especially since the
entire amount of jewelry has been re-
covered.
Mrs. Brands Brown is a handsome
woman, about % years of age, and UP
to yesterday bore an excellent reputa-
ton. She was allowed to return to her
home and no criminal action was taken
against her.
Last month she secured a divorce
from her husband on the ground of
desertion. She has a baby boy. The
Lovett family decline to discuss the
case further than has been given out
by the police, who will investigate Mrs.
Brands Browns past career.

peared against him as the complaining
witness and said that in trying to
collect the few dollars due him for rent
he had insulted her.
Mrs. Eta Mallory, who occupied half
of the little cottage on the east side
of town, was another witness, and al
though she didn't know much about
the trouble she had a long story to tell
of Mrs. Luigo's tears and EXPLANATIONS
Of woe.
Mr.. Barry professed to know nothing
about any trouble with the lady and
after paying his fine remarked that he
would appeal the case to the superior
court and also go out Of the rent col

"There are many ties that bind the

fact that so many Of the tourists here
come from st. Louis or have been there
to see the worlds fair.
Il note that the postoffice receipts
here and in st. Louis both show re-
markable gains and that they are gain

the results, for the record Of the past
year has paralyzed the would-be
prophets in both cities.
with both these cities breaking the
building and real estate records, month
after month, it is well to inquire what
causes it. I believe judicious advertis-
ing in the newspapers and through the
visitors to both these cities in the past
two years or more is responsible for
this development.
"Thesa tourists carry away good
stories from both cities, tell of their
natural and prospective advantages

fession to the police and took the Of
ficers to where the loot was securely
hidden.

complaint will be asked for by the

point. it is supposed to have been hid.
