prominent Missouri politician, VINO

tence in the penitentiary for murder
in the second degree. DR.. Todd was
convicted of Staying Robert t. Wall,
wealthy citizen of Richards, YER

suit of a fraud of twenty years
standing. and which had been waged
with as much bitterness and animos-
itv as the feuds of the Kentucky

Friends of the Wall faction will
make a determined opposition to the
granting of the pardon and will be
: represented at the hearing by M. t.

prosecuted DIR. Todd. The prisoner,
who is So years of age, is broken
in health as a result of confinement
in the penitentiary, but has been able

main it considerably increases the
powers of the mayor and the city adj
ministration by placing the school

port of their opposition that the pro-
posed order of things would result in
placing too much power i'm the hands
of one man.
The new charter also includes with
in it's provisions for municipal owner
ship and operation of street and other
