During the inquest il was
shown that the two men, about !
o'clock Saturday night, went TO
Mr.. Zufall and drew some money
coming to them, saying they want
ed to go to Fort Smith, which
they did, and II is supposed they

new STREET
OPENED ON
EAST SIDE
Leading to The Agricultural
College

A new street has just been opened on
the East side, leading from Fielder
street to the Agricultural college. The
street is seventy feet wide, including
the sidewalks, and it will be one of the
prettiest streets in that section of the
city.
No n;me has yet been selected for
the street though several have been
suggested. Among these is the naming
OF the street Crawford street in honor
of Mr.. Crawford Wheatley, who has
been such great agency in building
up the Agricultural college by his dill.
igenre and unceasing labor.
There is, however, already street
named Crawford street, so that this
would seem to preclude this. The stree
in question is a very unimportant one
so that another name may be given &C
it and the name Crawford be appliel
to the new street.

CLERK WEAVER is
BACK At HIS POST
Popular City Official Has Re-
covered

City Clerk and Treasurer Harvey
Weacer yesterday reported at his office
at the city hall for duty after a week s
absence from that place, during which
he has suffered with an attack of APP
.pendicitis.
On account of the fact that this is
the first attack of appendicitis that he
has experienced, Mr. Weaver preferred
that no operation for the trouble be
undertaken. For this reason he was
confined closely to his room last week
under the careful treatment Ct physi-
clans.
Now that the trouble has been OBJ
waited for this attack at any rate, i
is hoped by the many friends of Mr..
Weaver that there will be no recur-
renee of the trouble. Though he was
very weak from the close confinement
at home, Mr.. Weaver was able yester-
day to attend to his duties at the city
hall. 1t is hoped that he will soon
entirely recover from the recent at
tack.

L. II. S5.A-PLATE
R'NNER COST 1925
Springfield Stirred by Commercial Ex-
plOitatiOn of the Colonel.

Springfield, Mass, April 16.-Echoes
of the five-dollars-a-plate dinner to
Col. Roosevelt recently given in con-
nection with the colonel's New Eng
land trip, will not down. Conserva-
tive Springfield diners-out had ex-
pected something beyond the ordinary
and many had eaten sparingly for two
days in order to do justice to the oc-
casion. The disappointment was SO
pronounced that even the colonel s
specific recital of the membership of
the Ananias club in regular standing
failed to restore cheerfulness.
The managers of the Kimball hotel.
at which the banquet was held, have
preserved silence, but from authorita-
tive source, it was learned today that
the 1926 a plate the hotel received
covered every item of expense, includ-
ing music, decorations, printing cock
tails and cigars. Covers were laid for
200 persons.
The obvious commercial exploitation
of Col. Roosevelt has caused criticism
in some quarters and mirth in others.
Col. Roosevelt's topic, "A Squale Deal"
caused ironical comment, thought the
colonel himself was in no wise to
blame for the strained situation or
even aware that it existed. Meantime
the public awaits enlightenment as to
the disposition of the surplus.
