STONE STREET GONE
VIII Beresiier Be Known as
 Part of Sylvan Avenue.

A petition filed with the city clerk for presentation 10 the board or aldermen, asks that Stone street, so-called, running easterly from Baldwin street to Sylvan avenue, be renamed and hereafter be known and called Sylvan avenue. so that said Sylvan avenue will begin at what Is now known as Stone $ rect and continue and be known as such clear out to the Pearl Lake road. making a street about q mile long, lnasmuch as all the property owners, have signed the application it is not likely hat any objection will be of fered to it. Sylvan avenue, former ly known as Quarry street, is prac- tically continuation of Stone street, and 1t is quite proper to give both the same name. It is an old strees and pleasant place. but it outlived its next door neighbor, Quarry street, by 10 or 12 years so that it has no reason at all to find fault because i days are numbered and probably if it could speak it would say that it was in full accord with the petition. It is a good time to bring the matter up while the city is in he business of changing street names.

CHICAGO CONCERN

JOHN NUvEEN G. CO. WILL TAKE

the Cold Cash and Is Ready to Make

The board of supervisors of Forrest

several letters from John Nuveen &
Co., the Chicago brokers who bid off
the Jail bonds, saying that they still
wanted the bonds and were ready to
pay the cash at the next regular meet

1t will be remembered that at the re-
cent term of the board that letters
were received from the Chicago brok-
ers saying that they had a case pend.

which was similar to the terms of the
contract with Forrest County. and un-
til this was decided they were advised
by their attorney not to accept the
bonds.

COUNCIL DECIDES THAT He
WAS NOT PEACE OFFICER
City Attorney Held That the Entire
Matter Hinged On This Point-case
Against City Marshal is Set For
Friday. 3

Uncle Dlck' Powe was acquitted by
the city council last night on the
charge of neglecting his duty as al
derman by not reporting the Athletic
Club dealings. he being a member
thereof.
Agent Hassell, of the Northeastern.
was the first witness introduced and
he identified a number of bills of
lading.
Alderman Powe took the stand and
stated that he had been a member of
the club, that he was told that it was
chartered club that dispensed liquors
like other clubs. He had no idea that
ne was violating any law or that II
was being improperly conducted.
City Attorney Ellis opened the ar
gument for the city and he said the
whole matter hinged on whether an
alderman was peace officer within
the meaning of the law. He read
what law that he thought bore ON the
subject.
He was followed first by Mr.. Tally
and next by Mr.. Sullivan, who ridi-
culed the idea that an alderman was
a peace officer. The lawyers spoke at
some length and Mr.. Powe's lawyers
were frequently greeted with applause.
After Mr.. Ellis closed brief tafE
for the city, the matter was put up
to the jury and all the aldermen
signed statement of mot guilty" ex-
cept Alderman Roberts.
Thus ended the famous impeach-
ment proceedings against Uncle
Dick" Powe.
The trial of Charley Pool, city mar
shall, will occur Friday night Z
How II Was, =.
inasmuoh as there has been some
inquiries among the people as to why
charges were not preferred against
all city officials who were members
of the now defunct Athletic Club, the
Daily News will state that when Mayor
Donald explained this matter to the
council Monday night he stated that
he had made the affidavits OH lnfor-
nation and that he had been unable
: to secure any information as to the
participation of the other officials fur
ther than that they were members,
hence not having what he regarded
as sufficient information he had not
sworn out any affidavits. One of these,
Alderman Williams, had requested an
examination, but as the mayor had no
information that he had been a par
ticipant in the clubs affairs, he did
not consider that it would be right for
him to swear out a warrant, though
he told Alderman Williams that he
could, IL he wished, ask the council to
investigate the matter.
