the establishment of a public park
system"
DR.. Crowther says that there is no
real public park in the city at the
present time, and that he would be
in favor of converting the old Smith

line" he said, "and have a place
which would be credit to the city
and benefit to all. | would also be
In favor of establishing a recreation
pier on the water front"

his run for surrogate, he carried the
city by 81 votes, when most of the
others were beaten by 200.

of his other interests. He Is a gifted

wagons bear flag or two and along
the line of march whole buildings
are artistically draped.
German Day, as explained by May
or Bollschweiler on Saturday, is an
occasion of good fellowship to bring
the Germans and Americans more

Influenced BY Brother.

SPecfdt oD Onfted Press Wfre.
Washington, d. O., Aug. 17:-If
Captain Peter G. Haines, Jr., should
pay the extreme penalty for killing
William &. Annis it will be the first
time an officer of the United States
Army, in time Of peace, met felen's
death. Men here who are acquainted
with the two brothers say they are
almost opposites in disposition; that
Peter always has been regarded as a
mild tempered, easy going fellow.
The opinion is freely expressed in
army circles today that Peter never
would have committed the crime IL
he had not been urged to do 1t by his
brother whose vindictiveness against
Peters wife and her supposed be-
trayer was well known.
Andrew A. Lipscomb, noted
criminal lawyer, of this city, who as
sisted the prosecution of Thornton J.
Hams seventeen years ago at Fort
Monroe, for killing Ned Hannegan,
described Thornton as the most dan
gerous man he ever knew and his
acquittal was a gross miscarriage of
justice.

PRODUCE MEN
WANT MARKET
AT WHOLESALE
Petition Likely TO be Presented
to Aldermen Tonight to Cut
Out Retail Entirely
MARKET is POPULAR NOW

Produce dealers, 1t is understood,
are not satisfied with the way the
market matter Is working out. It is
likely that at he meeting of the
Board of Aldermen tonight petit
tion will be presented by them ask
ing the aldermen to make the market
wholesale exclusively.
After last Fridays experience the
produce men say it will be practical
ly impossible to prevent the farmers
selling at retail until a certain hour.
1t was announced last Friday that the
market would be at wholesale until
8 o'clock but this did not last long
and soon the people were buying in
any quantities they desired. The
produce men say they have been In
business here for many years and
they do not propose to be put out of
business without struggle.
At the conference held Friday
night the market was turned over to
the Board of Aldermen for them to
make it a city institution and to gov
ern 1t accordingly. 1t is evident that
the people of the city will not see the
market abolished now. When the
talk first originated about making &c
exclusively wholesale there was an
agitation started to form a company
to conduct a market at retail. It was
planned to secure central site,
erect sheds and invite the farnlefs to
come in. If the market Is made
wholesale exclusively it is likely that
some such movement will be started.
