Fort Worth, Texas, April 29.-Has
Stuyvesant Fish, jr., eloped with the
daughter Of Edwin H. Hartman?
This is the question friends of the
young man in this city are asking to-
day, but nobody knows the answer.
Conflicting reports concerning the
elopement are extant in New York.
The basis of the story is rush mes
sage sent from New York from Fish,
sr., asking railroad officials in New
York to ascertain the whereabouts Of
his son.
Then followed the rumor that he
had eloped with Miss Hartman.
Last night another message came
from Fish stating that his son was
neither missing nor married. But this
message has not stopped the elope-
ment stories and Fish, jr's friends are
Looking for more details today.

MORE PAVEMENT
FOR aPENDLETON
ALTA AND LEWIS STREETS
ARE NEXT IN LINE.
Number OF Prominent Property Own
ers Are Agitating the Matter and
Action Will Probably BE Takcx-
Water Street Residents May Also
BE Inducod TO Get Into the Hard
Pavement Band Wagon.

In additioni to the paving OF Wesi
Court street, there is now a probah hill
ity that 10 OR Is blocks in other per-
tions OF the city will also be paved.
Ever since the first paving was dome
here those owning property in the first
two blocks Noff.East Alta have desire
pavement ard 1t is said the district ON
that street may be extended the entire
length OF the street, extending from
Main to the intersection Of East Court
Many property owners on Lewis
street are also anxious for a bitu-
lithic street with parking on either
side. Shortly after the first paving
was done there was strong sentiment
for the improvement among Lewis
street householders for they have one
of the finest residence sections OF the
city and manifest a pride in keeping
It such.
Whether or not the Water street
property owners want a pavement is
not known, but should they oppose the
improvement the Lewis street people
wish to have their thoroughfare con-
nected by a paved block with the
paved section of East Court.
Should Lewis street be paved for
distance OF 10 blocks and connected
with Court the city would be given
a splendid bituftthic driveway.
West Court street property owners
have petitioned for pavement for a
section covering 10 blocks and the
resolution providing for the same is
now being published. Should no re-
monstrance be produced the council
will order the Improvement and ask
for bids shortly.

He was then asked: "Did you
come to San Francisco after April

Heney then said that there could be
but one reason why Calhoun should
refuse to answer. At that Attorney A.

jumped into the fray and shouted that
the prosecution was attempting to
make Calhoun witness against him
self and that the defense had a right
to object to his being a witness.
Judge Lawlor finally decided that
he would judge the tendency of the
questions put to Calhoun and might
support or overrule Calhouns declin.
