THE honk! honk! of automobiles is now a thing of the past, be-
cause, it is said, a Autelike arrangement has taken its place IN all
new autos; therefore, every up-to-date chauffeur must be able 10
NAV 2 flute or fife in order to warn others ofhis approach.
There will be a most interesting medley of airs when one auto
is footing Annie Laurie, another a Merry Widow Waltz and stf
others indulging in various tuneful melodies.
perhaps the number of victims of automobile accidents may not
50 greatly object to being run over, since music is to accompany all
such events.-Todays Magazine.

confess that VIC thought the street should be opened. As general

vet that should not be overlooked. There is a right and a jnt way
70 do everything and if we want this principle applied to us,7we must
El,ey;se see that that standard directs our actions in dealing with
others. The railroad company had many reasons to believe that it
should continue to use this property and built its tracks and slGIngs

+ude PIT the screws to them when they need It-and they VERY,
,erv frequently need it-but in doing this, we should be sure that
common iusticei is with us. 1t is probable that the opening OF the
street NAV cause the removal Of the compress and thereby entail a
heavy expense on one of the most important enterprises IN the coun-
~ and one that is a large contributor to the countys treasury. Mil
anv mans taxes be made less by the opening OF the street! VIII
r man. hours of toll be lessened? We believe IN always speak
;,o for the little man-the nal without means, but W e repeat, whom
will il benefit? The opening OF the street will entail additional cost
q the CITY to maintain it and the town already has more miles OF
street than It's properly caring for. Hence the proper thing, from
~ view point, is to defer the opening at least tor a few years until
matters car be adjusted to meet the proposed change.
There is no principle of law, ethics or religion involved. only
recentlv the town organized a business league and resolved on a
crrs,de for more citizens, better business and a larger number OF en-
terprises. 1t would be unfortunate indeed for any step to be taken
that would have the least appearance of an act tbad faith o would
manifest ;nbarmonv toward any interest or enterprise in the COM
munity. :
We can move forward only by a united pull
We honestly believe that the pressing OF the matter OF opening
this street will not be helpful to Grenada.

OLD CASE REoPENEp.
Question Vet Unsettled As to Cause of
Shooting of J. c. Baker.

Question Vet Unsettled As to Cause Of
Shooting of J. c. Baker.
Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Sept. IA case of
unusual interest which has been in the
courts for eight years, came up again
yesterday, 1T being in the form OF
motion to dismiss the indictment
against George Matheson, who shot J.
c. Baker, then a deputy sheriff, near
Weston, eight years ago.
The case is remarkable in many re-
spects. Matheson was youth is years
of age at the time of his alleged Of
tense. He had accompanied Sheriff
Baker at night to show him the location
of certain plumber which he had found.
Baker asked the young man If he had
revolver about him and upon being
informed that he had, asked that he
turn it over 10 the officer. It was very
dark at the time and in the supposed
transfer of the gun from Matheson to
the deputy sheriff, 1t was discharged,
the bullet striking the officer.
1t was the claim of Matheson that
the discharge OF the weapon was en-
tirely accidental and that 1t became
caught in some way as he was getting
1t out of his pocket. The first trial OF
the case resulted in the conviction OF
the defendant on a charge OF assault
with intent to commit murder and he
was sentenced to serve two years at Ana
mosa prison. The case was reversed In
the supreme court and upon a second
trial Matheson was convicted of simple
assault and sentenced to serve sixty
days in the county jail.
The case was again reversed by the
supreme court two years ago and has
since been lying dormant on the docket,
never having been called for trial.

Methodist Bishop Goes to orient 20
Resume Duties.
Sioux City, Sept. Bishop w. E.
Lewis, Mrs. Lewis and daughter Miss
Ida B. Lewis. left last night for Pekin,
China. Bishop Lewis is one of the two
bishops in the Methodist conference in
that country. His daughter will be-
come missionary Mrs. Lewis will
accompany her husband on his travels
about the empire. The party left at
1920 o'clock on the Great Northern for
Minneapolis. From there the itinerary
takes them to Seattle, from where+they
will sail for Pekin. Bishop Lewis is
supposed to arrive in Pekin to take up
the duties of the conference by Oct. s..
The bishop and Mrs. Lewis have
passed g. year and a half in the land
of the pig tailed" folk They returned
a few months ago on a regular leave
Of absence. Miss Lewis never has been
in China. Making their home in Foo
Chow, the activities of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis will be centered to a certain ex-
tent in the conduct Of the Womens
College of southern China. The plans
for several new buildings which are to
be erected at this large institution now
are being made by Wilfred w. Beach, a
Sioux City architect, under commission
by Bishop Lewis for the Methodist
church.
To just what part of the empire Miss
Lewis will be assigned had not been
ascertained last night. A party Of
twenty friends of the family was at the
train to bid them goodby. The Lewis
family will be gone about two years
j. w Bashford. formerly president of
Ohio Wesleyan university, is the other
Methodist bishop for China. Bishop
Bashford now is in America. Rev. Mr..
Lewis was president of Morning Side
College for eleven years.

fore VIII Claim Larger Representa-
ton in Law Making Body at WASH
inston-House Already unwieIdy.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Congress will
soon be called upon to deal with the
question OF increased representation
in the house. This is due to the fact
that the census for 1910 indicates that
a number Of states will be entitled to
more members of the house than are
now seated. 1t is more than probable
that big fight will occur when the
question is brought up for considera-
ton because house leaders have about
come to the conclusion that the lower
branch of congress is already too I'M
wieldy and that If there is to be any
change in representation it should be
cut down rather than increased.
New York City furnishes an excel
lent example of the problem of seat
ing members of the house based on in
creased population. Greater New FORK
now has seventeen members in the
house. Based on the population of
1910, recently announced by the census
bureau to be 4,766,sS3, the first city
in the United States would be entitled
to twenty-four or twenty-five repre-
Sentatives.
Another increase IS TO De IOuuO III
the state of Oklahoma, which now has
five members in the house. Based on
the present population of that state
Oklahoma is now entitled to ten repre-
sentatives. Chicago's population in
crease also is expected to be sufficient
to entitle that city to Increased repre-
sentation.
With the exception of New York the
greatest increases in population will
be in the west. 1t is that section of
the country, therefore, which will de-
mand representation in accordance
with its population That the demand
will be opposed is believed here. The
eastern states will be opposed to any
new apportionment which will deprive
them of their present position of power
in the houseand an apportionment on
the present basis of one member for
each 194,1S2 of population will GER
tainly give the west a commanding
position in the house. The present
membership of the house is 391 and
even this number is now generally re-
garded as unwieldy. The official
figures for the entire country probably
will be known before the short session
of congress adjourns but it is doubt
full if any agreement will be reached
as to the new method of apportion-
ment.

from the sleeping man. He had not
appeared to notice what was going on,
but now, just as the conductor seemed
about to appeal to the motorman for
help, the little Japanese slid along the
seat and said to the conductor: Il
wake him."
The conductor stared. and scratched
his head. IF you cam" he remarked,
cts more'n l can do"
Maku did not answer, but putting
his hand behind the sleeping mans
back, found some sensitive vertebra
With a yell, the man awoke and leap
ed to his feet. The conductor seized
him by the arm and led him to the
platform.
The car was already slowing down,
but without waiting for it to stop, the
fellow launched himself into the night,
being preserved from falling by the
god of alcohol, and stumbled away
toward the sidewalk.
did you see the Jap?" exclaimed
the conductor. Stuck pin into him,
that's what he did"
ooh, l guess not" laughed Orme.
HE touched his spine, that was all
The car stopped. The specialized
passenger with the portfolio arose and
got off by way of the front platform.
Would Maku also take the elevated?
If he did, unless he also got Off the
front platform, Orme would have to
act quickly to keep out of sight
But Maku made no move. He had
returned to his former position, and
only the trace Of an elusive smile on
his lips showed that he had not for
gotten the incident in which he had
Just taken part. Meantime Orme had
maintained his partial concealment,
and though Maku had turned his head
when he went to the conductors help,
he had not appeared to glance toward
the back platform.
The conductor rang the bell, and
the car started forward again with it's
two passengers-DIaku within, Orme
without-the pursuer and the pursued.
Il thought the motorman and l was
going to have to chuck that chap off"
commented the conductor. IF the
jap hadn't stuck pin into his"
Il don't think it was pin. The
Japanese know where to touch you
SO that it will hurt"
"An' l didn't even like to rub tho
fellows ear for fear of hurtin' him.
I heard of man that was made deaf
that way. Smashed his ear drums"
Il wonder where the Jap will get
OFF," said Orme.
ooh, he'll go tight through to the
barns and take Clark street car.
There's a lot of them Japs lives over
that way He's one of 'em, I guess"
unless he's somebody's cook or
valet"
II don't believe he is. But, of
course, you never know"
That's true" said Orme. "One
never knows"
As the car plunged onward, Maku
suddenly put his hand in his pocket.
He drew it out empty. On his face
was an expression which may mean
surprise" among the japanese. He
then fumbled in his other pockets, but
apparently he did not find what he
was looking for. Orme wondered
what it might be.
The search continued. A piece Of
Irvine, pocket knife, handkerchief,
were produced in turn and inspected.
At last he brought out greenback,
glancing at it twice before returning
it to his pocket. Orme knew that it
must be the marked bill. But Maku
was looking for something else. His
cheek glistened with perspiration; ev-
identity he had lost something Of
value. After a time, however, he

stopped hunting his pockets, and
seemed to resign himself to his loss
fact from which Orme gathered that
the object of his search was nothing
SO valuable that 1t could not be re-
placed.
When he had been quiet for a time,
he again produced the greenback, and
examined it attentively. From the
way he held it. Orme judged that he
was looking at the well-remembered
legend: Remember Person You Pay
This To-" Presently he turned it over
aud held 1t closer to his eyes. He was,
of course. looking at the abbreviated
directions.
