GIRL |NCORR|C|BlE
Judge Fox Turns Bessie Smith
Over to the ChiIdren'S
Guardians.
WANT FIND HOME FOR HER

Bessie Smith, thirteen year old
girl without relatives, was turned over
to the board Of children's guardians
yesterday by Judge Fox, ON a petition
by Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd.
The girl has been neglected because
those with whom she lived had not the
means to properly care for her and un-
der the existing circumstances, she be-
came incorrigible.
The board of guardians are endeay-
oring to find a home for her. If not
successful. she will probably be placed
in an orphanage asylum.
Bessie Smith would have been taken
away from relatives and friends sever
al years ago. or at the time of her
fathers death. However, her grand
father, I. G. Smith, shoe cobbler
who lived on South Fifth street, begged
so hard to allow her to stay with him
that the authorities consented. The
girl seemed to be the only comfort the
old cobbler had, even though he could
not we'll afford to support her. At the
time of his death, last summer. she
was turned over to friend from whom
she ran away several times.

TRACTION RUMOR
IS HEARD AGAIN
Reported That Richmond
Hamilton Line Is to Be
Constructed.
RESTED DORMANT YEARS
SINCE PROJECT WAS DROPPED eY
EASTERN CAPITALISTS DURING
PANIC NEW PLANS WERE NOT
CONSIDERED.

Rumor has it that the proposed
Richmond, Eaton, Oxford and Hamil-
ton traction line will be built within
a year or so. DR.. Cook of Oxford and
c. A. Shera, an Oxford banker. were
communicated with this morning and
both said that the rumor was little
bit premature. However, these men,
who are among the original promoters
are hopeful that the road will be built
DR.. Charles S. Bond of this city,
who met with the promoters three
years ago when the line looked as
though it would be built stated that
he had heard nothing about the mat
ter since it had been dropped. The
proposition fell through when origin
ally proposed owing to the panic.
Eastern capitalists were interested
but refused to put their money into
the proposed road at that time.
1t has been stated by a number of
Influential citizens of cities and towns
along the proposed line that a con-
certed effort will be made within the
next few months. to again interest
the Eastern capitalists.

Witnessed Last Night Woman
In NightgoWn, Pursued by
Anxious Hubby in a Very,
Very Brief Costume.
THREATENS SUICIDE
BUT IS RESTRAINED
While Husband GrappIes With
Her the Yardmen Come to
The Rescue and the Couple
Then Departed.

A woman scantily attired and a
man dressed in night shirt and trous-
ers trying to restrain her from carry
ing out a threat to end it all by jump
ing off the Nineteenth street bridge,
was the exciting scene witnessed by a
party of railroad men last evening
about $50 O'Clock. The two, appar-
emily husband and wife, were having
marital trials, but developments were
postponed for the time being when
several railroaders rushed upon the
bridge, putting the disputants to
flight.
The railroad men were walking in
from the east end yards when they
heard a woman's scream and looking
up on North F street saw a woman,
dressed in her night clothes, running
toward the bridge She was pursued
by a barefooted man, who was dress
ed but little more comfortably than
the woman.
~ Won't Live With You."
When she reached the bridge, she
Was uedI W Say, ANO, JouL, L WOu L,
I won't, I won't live with you another
minute. Oh. 1 have a notion to end
it all right here" whereupon she
mounted the railing but was restrain
ed from carrying out her threat tc
jump, by the man catching hold of her
night gown.
The railroaders had advanced upon
the party and were enjoying the scene
hugely. However, when the woman
started to mount the rail and was re
sisted by the man, the railroaders con
sidered it high time to put in an ap
pearance. They started up the bank
at the south side of the bridge and
called the attention of the principals
in the comedy to their presence
whereupon a hasty exit was made ant
the last seen of the two, they were
running east on the cart road between
the railroad and the show grounds.
Who the parties were, the railroad
ers could not state. Three womer
living within the immediate vicinity
of the bridge were attracted by the
woman's screams but We're afraid te
make an investigation.

81, 500 Was Plastered Onto
The Original So, 900 Appro-
priation at a Meeting Last
Evening.
A CONTRACT AWARDED
TO BURR AND GARNER

To Construct the Building
For &.224-Council Has a
Dispute.

At the special meeting OF council
last evening. an additional sum of ST.
500 was added to the appropriation OF
5000. made by council some time ago
for the erection of a hose house ON
the West Side. Bids were received
yesterday by the board OF works. hut
all of them were considerably in excess
OF the amount donated for that pur-
pose. 1t was then decided to call n
special meeting of council and make
up the deficit.
The contract was awarded this morn.
ing by the board to Burr and Garner,
their bid being the lowest. 4.ca4 COM
plete. Work will be commenced on
the new hose house Immediately. and
1t will be rushed to completion. II
will be modern and fully equipped in
every particular. II will be centrally
located at the corner Of Lincoln and
West Fifth streets. and will material
ly decrease the fire losses which have
been frequent and. in some instances,
large. in the past few years.
Won Pein Explains.
The question arose at the meeting OF
council last evening why the original
appropriation had fallen SO far short
Of the amount needed for the purpose
for which 1t was intended. This was
explained by Councilman Won Pein.
| who stated that when he introduced
the ordinance he had no conception Of
the cost of building hose house and
had made no exact estimate. merely
| guessing at the probable cost Of such
| q structure. The sum appropriated by
council last evening added to the orig
inal appropriation. makes the total
amount something over the sum named
in the contract. However. there are
certain extra expenses. including the
architects fees. which will make the
full amount, $500, none too large, It
is said.

Royal Reforms Recommended
We're Given Thorough
Consideration.
new MINISTER A LIBERAL
HE WAS CHIEF OPPONENT OF
THE OLD CABINET AND iT Is
BELIEVED ALFONSO HAS MADE
WISE MOVE.
(American News Service)


Madrid, Oct 22.-King Alfonso today
held a long conference with the new
premier, Senor Morety Prandergast AM!
royal reforms that have been urged by
Maura's successor were thoroughly
gone over.
Moret, who was the chief opponent
of the old ministry, headed by Maura,
was the liberal leader in the Cohtes. He
once before headed ministry. In
the present cabinet he occupies a dou-
bic position. as premier and minister
of the interior.
The New Cabinet.
The other members of the new body
are Perez Cabellero, foreign affairs;
Senor Alvaredo, finance: Lieut.. Gener-
al de Lul-s. war: Rear Admiral Con-
cas-, marine; Senor Gasset, public
works; Senior Barroso, public instruc-
ton and Martinez del Campo, justice.
It is believed today that the appoint.
ment of the liberal ministry will do
much to solve the pressing problems
that beset the government.
General satisfaction was expressed
today at the personnel of the cabinet.
Had a more conservative group of men
been named. an outbreak would have
been inevitable.
One OF the first moves possible is
the recall of General Marina from Mo
rocco and the substitution Of General
Weyler as the head Of the forces in
Africa
Perez Cabellaero, who holds the for.
eign affairs portfolio, occupied the
same position in the previous Moret
cabinet in 1906, and in that of Moret's
successor, the Marquis de Armijo. Gen.
de Luque and Senior Gaset also served
in the first Moret cabinet.
