STORM OF PROTEST
AGAINST ART EXHIBIT

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The Mine
ola fair over Long Island-way, was
never SO popular before. The pump
hns are no larger. the corn no longer,
the quilts no crazier than in previous
years, but still there was flying
wedge of impatient visitors massed
at the gate long before opening time
today.
The Mineola fair has an art exhibit
and a delegation OF w. c. #. U. who
saw the said art exhibit gasped. threw
up their hands, and came away in a
high state OF indignation. On the
walls we're pictures OF women In all
stages of dishabille and the w. c. T..
U. workers were shocked. They said
so, and then there was a rush on the
art exhibit. Everybody went but the
gateman. The managers said art was
art for arts sake and they would not
remove the exhibit.

BREAKS JAIL, GOES FORTY
MILES TO FEED HIS CATS

SEARCHLIGHT. New, Sept. -
The story OF how miner broke jail
and tramped 40 miles across the
desert in order to feed his pet cats
has just been made public.
The miner was Joseph Watkins,
Imprisoned here on the charge OF
having stolen a pair Of lace curtains
while in an alleged intoxicated con-
dition.
When placed in Jail he asked the
taller to see that his cats, 40 miles
distant, were fed. The jailer laugh
ed, but Watkins was serious He
wanted the cats fed. and when the
jailer would not attend to his pets
he decided to break Jail and do it
himself. He did so that night.
The sheriff followed Watkins in an
automobile the next day and took
him into custody again just after he
had given his pets a bountiful meal.
II was said the officers and others
were SO touched by Watkins love for
the cats that the charge against him
probably would be dismissed.

BRIDGES OVER CASS-AvE.
will Recommend Permission to
Span Street With Three
Double-Deckers
BAREFOOT MAKES PROTEST
Beauty Board Member Declares
That Structures Would
Be Monstrosity

The council committee on grade
separation decided, Thursday morn
ing. TO report TO the council In favor
OF granting the petition OF the Cadil-
lac Motor Co., for permission TO build
three twostory bridges across Cass-
ave-. connecting It's buildings. This
plan was decided on by the company
after 1t became evident that the coun-
Gil would not grant it's first petition
TO vacate a portion OF Cass-ave. The
work OF building the bridges, II Is
proposed, will 20 on while the grade
crossing at the Michigan Central rail-
road tracks is being separated. In re-
turn for the city's concession the
company agrees TO waive it's rights to
damages to It's property caused by
the grade separation, damages which
were estimated at about $4,000.
Each OF the bridges proposed will
AFFORD passage way OF 12-feet over
the street, and each will be a double
deck affair, with passageways con-
Meeting the second and third floors OF
street. The structures will be steel
and concrete and the passageways
Will be enclosed in glass. The CON-
mittee specified that no advertising
matter shall appear on the bridges
and that they shall occupy the street
only as long as the plants on either
side OF the street are conducted by
one company.
Corporation Counsel Lawson agreed
with the committee that II would be
fair bargain for the city to grant
the company's petition in return for
a waiver OF its damages by reason or
the grade separation. Chairman Yer
nor, of the committee, read a letter
addressed to him by Frederick T. Bar
croft. member OF the city plan and
Improvement commission, in which
he declared that the bridges would
constitute monstrosity. The letter
in part follows:
They have abandoned the first
ideas OF their requirements and
are now satisfied to leave the
street as II is, but they ask per-
mission to span the street with
three bridges. They will be by
actual measurement, As feet high
