Change In Name Probable.

The suggestions which have been made
from time to time for the changing of the
name of 10th street to Executive avenue
seem now in fair way to realization. A
bin to this effect. which was introduced In
the Senate on March Is and later referred
to the Commissioners for report, will prob
ably have the approval Of the heads Of
the local government
Engineer Commissioner BiddIe today
made a motion In favor of giving to 10th
street the designation avenue" because of
its width and Importance 1t corresponds
to other avenues In the District. He added
that the Commissioners have no objection
to the name Executive. but that they
have no preference of that name over 9TH

Jefferson City, March 5-The gu
preme court this afternoon in an
opinion by Judge Fox decided the
race track case from st. Louis coun.
ty. The court holds that the justice
OF the peace had jurisdiction over
The case, which was q misdemeanor,
and that the st. Louis city police
had no power to 20 out Of the city
to make an arrest. This latter was
the main question to be decided by
the court, as the governor had used
the police officers from the city in
suppressing the race track people in
81. Louis county last summer.
In the opinion OF the court the
governor has no power to use the
police officers outside OF the city.
This means that an attempt prob,
ably will be made TO reopen the
Delmar race track.
All the judges OF the court concur
with Judge Fox In the opinion ex
cept Marshall and Valiant, who dis.
sent, Marshall expressing his views
in a separate dissenting opinion.

NOT A CANDIDATE.

Some one has started a boom for
Col. Jake Allen, Of Bates county, for
Congress. Col. Allen lives In the
same county and the same town as
Congressman DsArmond, and like
the latter, is a stalwart Democrat.
II is hardly deemed likely that he will
enter the race, although Missouri has
sent a great many men to Congress-
less able to represent this great state
than Col. Allen -Je fferson City Trib-
une.
Before the Democrats nominate
Col. Allen for Congress, they ought
to get an affidavit from him that il
he is elected, he will agree not to
spend most OF his time going fishing
with Grover Cleveland. 1t would
also be a good idea to compel him
to promise that the arst bill he in
PRODUCES In congress shall be for an
100000 public building to beerect-
ed in tler.-Republican.P Press.
"Col." Allen will not pledge himself
not to 60 fishing or duck hunting,
either, with Grover Cleveland or any
other genuine sport. As for the ap-
|propriationior Butler, he has always
stood for anything that would help
his home town, his county, district
or state, and he certainly would not
miss an opportunity to attempt big
things for any or all Of them.
