there monopolize the pavement and
half the street when a big building

street fronting of the First National

from the site, and to keep all waste
hauled away. This will be inconven-
lent and with the car tracks making
a short curve at Third street. will
cramp the contractor.

National Banks Ten Story SkySCraper

George w. Katterjohn returned
from st. Louis last night, where he
had gone to be present at the open
ing of bids on the new ten-story
bank building. The lowest bid was
made by the Southern Construction
company, of st. Louis. for $685. 800.
Mr.. Katterjohn was the only Padu-
cab contractor bidding on the build
ing, and the only contractor outside
of st. Louis bidding. His bid was
second at s127.5OO. The difference
between his and the lowest bid is
only $4,000.
Five bids were received for the
job. as follows: Southern Construc-
ton company. 1923, 500; G. w. Kat

representing the directors Of the

not as announced, bid on the build

that the bank may use its privilege

Is Drowned After He Lands
From Boat
Policeman William Want, of Metrop-
oils, Tells of Meeting Young
Man.
coRoNER's INQUEST LATER

Frank Mckay, Jr., did not fall
from the Dick Fowler, the night OF
March II, on the return trip of the
Cairo excursion. Witnesses saw the
boy, whose body was taken from the
Ohio river Wednesday, at Metropolis
landing, standing on Broadway after
the Dick Fowler came into this port.
knowledge of this evidence has come
to the ears of the young mans faith
,er, Frank Mckay, of 1872 North Sixth
street, and on this information the
father, bases his theory of foul play.
The information increases the mys-
terry surrounding the youths death.
Rumors that he was intoxicated on
the Dick Fowler and that he was as
saulted and, perhaps. knocked into
the river. on the return trip, gave
rise to the first clew on which the po-
lice worked. It is now up to them
to discover who murdered Frank
Mckay in this city, or how he came
to fall into the river after he had
landed and climbed the mill leading,
up Broadway from the wharfboat.
Policeman William Want, of Me-
tropolis, and Charles Spencer saw
Mckay and talked to him after the
boat landed here that night.
81 got on the Dick Fowler at Me-
tropolis on the way to Cairo and
stayed on her to help keep order"
said Want.
81 knew Mckay and don't think
he was drunk on the boat. People
were inquiring for him and I hunt
ed for him but could not find him
late on the return trip, until saw
MIN on Broadway up the hfll
Charles Spencer and another man
were with me- Spencer lives at Me-
tropo.is. We spoke to the young man.
Thre other youths rushed up to him
and grabbed him. They all acted as
II they had been drinking-the three.
mean-and used vile language.
That is the last I saw of Mckay"
Policeman Want came over this
morning to testify at the inquest, but
1t will not be held for two or three
days, probably Friday.
Policeman Want explained the
Cowling incident about the charges
for bringing over the body. He said
Captain Cowling had not been noti-
fed of the fact that the corpse was
to be brought back. Want himself
attended to the matter and was in
formed that common carrier could |
not carry corpse. that was not en-
banned. 1t would cost $25 to get it
embalmed and that was the reason
the charge was made so high. Then
Policeman Want made arrangements
for bringing the body in skin, and
Captain Cowling never knew of the
incident

Universal Transfers, 20 Year Fran

enue to Go TO City.
PUBLIC OPINION is REVERSED.
Total Vote Cast.

Chicago April 3.-The most In
tense campaign in municipal politics
Chicago has experienced in many
years closed last night with the cleo
ton of Frederick A. Busse, Republic
can candidate for mayor, over Ed
ward f. Dunno, his Democrats rival
and a candidate for reelection, by a
plurality of $4,000 to 10000 The
issues In the campaign have been
largely based upon improvement of
the local traction systems. Both par
ties were agreed the present condi-
lions we're intolerable. but differed as
| to the best method to be employed In
lrevising them. The Democratic par
ty headed by Dunno stood for imme-
diate municipal ownership through
the condemnation of the street car
properties. If the result could not be
obtained in any other way.
Republicans favored the ordinances
which were recently passed by a
Democratic council over DUNES veto.
These ordinances provided for twenty
year franchises for street car COM
panles. the city retaining the right to
purchase the systems for $50 900 900
plus the amount to be spent for i'm
mediate rehabilitation for the lines.
The ordinances also provide for
universal transfers throughout the
city, scent fares and ffty-hve per
cent Of the net revenue of the com
|panies to be paid the city. The fight
for and against the adoption OF these
ordinances has been exceedingly bit
ter. They were carried by majority
of about $4,000. The vote showed
decided reversal Of public opinion on
the question of municipal ownership
compared with the last mayoralty
two years ago. At that
time Dunno received 163,1S9 votes
against 1875, 671 for John M. Harlan,
Republican leader. The Prohibition
list ticket received 3,2eS votes and
Socialists 23,O34. This year the Re
publican vote was close to 1875 900
and that of the Democrats close to
14Sy0OO The Prohibition vote ran
slightly above that of two years ago,
while the Socialist vote fell off heav-
lily, lie being more than $4,000 less
than that of the last city election.
William Randolph Hearst came
from New York to take
part in the campaign. His papers
we're the only publications in the city
supporting Dunno.
