MORE STREET
| PAVEMENT
KCity Council Becoming Active in
Matter Of More Street I'm
provements Paving Cues
ton Up Again.
TWO MILES CONTEMPLATED
First Step Looking Toward Street
Improvement for Next
Year.
0 MILES CONTEMPLATED IT:

The question OF more street paw
ing for Webster City was the para
mount subject before the. city coun-
Gil at its regular meeting last night.
It has been under discussion inform
ally for some time past, but not till
last night was any oficial action
taken looking toward the realiza-
ton Of the project. The different
councilmen have been quietly work
ing among their constituents. get
ting their attitude toward paving.
and they report that the majority
Eof the people residing In the dis.
tricts where paving il contemplated,
are in favor of the movement.
Hence, when the street paving ;.lb-
feet was introduced last night. the
council took action by giving the
paving committee instructions to
investigate conditions and make out
. tentative list Of those streets or
parts of streets which in their opin-
lon it would be desirable and bene-
fetal to pave.
/ One Of the members of the COM
mittee gave his views to the report
er this morning with, regard to the
proposed paving proposition. He
stated they would probably outline
something over two miles OF street
paving work for next year and that
the most of it would be done on
Bank. Water, Elm and Walnut
streets. He also stated that the at
tstude Of most of the people resid-
ing within the section wherein paw
ing will probably be laid next sum
mer are ready and anxious for the
improvement. He declared that the
general sentiment seemed to be In
favor of concrete paving and as it
Is the intention of the council to
give the people what they want, the
paving next year will probably be
concrete pavement. This is an
early opinion of the subject and
things may be changed before the
question is settled, but in all prob
ability the above view will prevail.
The beginning thus early on the
street paving question is for the
purpose of giving the people ample
opportunity of expressing their
preferences in the matter, and as
soon as the kind of pavement and
the amount to be done is settled,
the preliminary red tape necessary
to the doing of all such public i'm
provements will be started by the
city dads.

Neighbors of Mrs. Mary c. King, of

she makes her own concret, sidewalks

because the are improvements her

prices asked by contractors. But Mrs.
King (and the name suits her to dot)
can tell her story better than any re-
porter, so here goes:

like laying a sidewalk and putting
down a stoop. Want my picture, do
you? Not much! You can take pic

nothing particularly interesting about
me.

there would lie a lot of repairing and

And now Mrs. King is thinking OF
going into the contracting business,
there seems to be so much money in it,
and everybody on the block wishes her
success.

Jersey City Man Was

SEA GIRT, Aug. 7.-When the state
ment made by William S. Liller, of
indianapolis, published in this morn

Wilson said that he was very much
surprised at the position taken by
Judge Robert S. Hudspeth. of Jersey
City, and that he had learned of ii
only on Saturday last, when Mr.. Lille1
had sent him a copy of Judge Hud-
speth's letter. He said that he could
not better comment on 1t than by pub
fishing the letter which he had sent
Mr.. Liller In reply That letter Is as
follows: raaS
rea Grit N. j., Aug. 5, 1911.
My Dear Colonel Liller:
Thank yeu for your letters of July
81 and August with their interest
ing enclosures
The letter from Judge Hudspeth
really distressed me. l had no idea
that he felt as he does and wish
very much that he understood bet
ter than he appears to understand
my real feeling, which has always
been one of genuine cordially and
friendship.
|. of course, know of and deeply
appreciated the great service he
rendered in the campaign last Au-
tumn, but / distinctly remember
getting the impression, | would have
said from conversations with Judge
Hudspeth himself, that he had had
enough of active participation in
politics after such long service as
chairman of the State committee,
which he rendered at great sacrl-
fee of personal profit and conve-
nience.
When the question of the election
of senator arose Judge Hud-
speth, who was perfectly frank,
and | honored the position he took
very much, frankly said that he
would like to be left out of the
matter entirely because of his life
long friendship with ex-senator
Smith, although his personal judg-
ment was that Mr.. MARITIME ought
to be returned to the Senate. In
would rather not appear. at any
date during that season, as a sup
porter of my administration. Ger
tainly he was never by any act l
was conscious of dropped" or
sighted. 1t distresses me that he
should have received that impress
sion. With kind regards, sincerely
yours,

At IL o'clock Timmons was arrested
Cashier Brown confessed to the po-
lice that he was short $4,000. Tim
mons, the bookkeeper. he said, knew
of this shortage. Together they
planned, according to the story Brown
told the police. to have the books de-
stroyed.
The man employed to do this, accord
ing to Browns confession. was Frank
Walsh, of East Newark. The time set
for the Job was last night.
Walsh broke into the office, the po
lice believe, and in blowing open the
safe, set fire to the building. Fire
men carried Walsh out after his cloth
ing had been burned off and he had
fallen unconscious. He died at st.
Francis's Hospital Jersey City, and
the body was removed to Hughes's
