Acquit Negro of
Hunter Murder
Jury Frees Slayer of Newark
Divine's Son.

Thomas Morehead, a negro, charged
with the murder of Bertram Hunter, a
son of Rev. DIR. Pleasant Hunter. pas
tor of the Second Presbyterian Church,
was found not guilty by a jury at
Edmonston. Alberta, Canada. 1t was
alleged in dispatches to this city at the
time of the death of Hunter that the
negro had taken exception to a remark
made by the former and struck him
over the head with a bottle. The ne
gro, 1t was declared at the time of the
assault, was under the influence of
liquor and was peeved when 1t was
declared there was not a negro living
that could best a white man.
Hunter was the favorlte of the trad
ing station, where he was at work for
the benefit of his health. His death
was lamented greatly by those with
whom he was associated, and a guard
brought his body from the Canadian
town to Philadelphia, where 1t was
buried. Several Indians, .ho had been
the close companions of young Hunter,
also came to attend the funeral serv-
ices.

SIS Clerk Goes
a $4,000 Pace
for Long Time

CLEVELAND. Feb. 2S.-This city
has a young man whose tactics have
gained for him the nickname of the
male Cassie Chadwick.
John G. Jurgens, 26 years old, hoy
financier," who m~ysteriously disap-
peared a week ago, left behind debts
of $40, 1000, after living at the rate of
$50, 900 a year-all on a salary Of $15 a
week.
Jurgens came to Cleveland several
years ago, a poor youth, from Canal
Dover, to work as a shoe salesman.
Suddenly he branched out as a flnan-
cier and spender. He told his rela-
tives he had obtained control OF a
marble-polishing device that was
bringing him a royalty of $4,000 a
month. Later he entered the employ
of a marble concern as a timekeeper.
He said they used his patent. They
deny it.
Meantime Jurgens leased a Euclid
avenue house, fitted 1t up In grand
style and entertained royalty. He OBJ
tanned credit at the stores without
much trouble and bought at q great
rate. He had a fine $4,000 motor car,
in which he took joy riders at a fast
pace; owned a $4,000 motor boat, and
was the owner of several fine-blooded
bulldogs. One of these he gave the girl
who took the leading part in a musical
comedy company, and the dog APP
peared in one of the scenes.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 23.-"I think that
s12.e1 is a very good living wase-very
good, indeed"
Out Of Yale University, Alma Mater
of President Taft, came Professor
William H. Bailey to Cleveland to
make this comment on economic con-
ditions here.
The fact that the census bureau has
ascertained that the average weekly
wage in Cleveland is s12.61 does not
impress me as being bad at all when
viewed from an economic standpoint"
said Professor Bailey. "I think such
an average wage Is really excellent. 1t
is more than the strikers at Lawrence
get. / do not see why any economic
readjustment is needed so long as
wages keep as high as that"

CAR SERVICE SUBJECT
OF Citizens ATTACK
Residents of Congress Heights
Dissatisfied With Conditions
Now Prevailing.

Citizens of Congress Heights are not
yet satisfied with the street railway serv-
ice in that suburb. This fact was en-
phasized last night at the October meet
ing of the Public Improvement Associa
ton. held in the town hall. on Alabama
avenue. Citizens are at a loss to under
stand why the company will not operate
all Of its Anacostia cars through to the
heights. instead Of turning more than
half OF them back at Talbert street. and
also why the cars that do operate
through to the heights do not run on a
faster schedule. Notwithstanding numer-
Gus complaints TO the effect that it takes
longer to reach the city on the through
cars than before their establishment. 1t
is declared, nothing had been done 10
improve the schedule. The association
also desires an all-night service.
Edward Blaine was appointed chair
man of the special railroad committee.
which is to have a conference with j. I.
Moffett. superintendent of transportation
OF the railway company, when these mat
ters are to be presented to him. Some
agreement whereby the service will be
bettered is now hoped for.
Encouraging Reports.
ENCOURAGING reports were submitted on
the progress in obtaining sidewalks In the
suburb. Petitions are being signed for
the Improvement OF 4th and 9Th streets
and Alabama avenue. and ii is expected
that others will be distributed in the
near future. 1t was suggested that
general petition be prepared requesting
that sidewalks be laid upon all of the
streets in the suburbs. and this matter
will be decided in the near future.
Communications read from the Com
rnissioners brought out the information
that immediate investigation would be
made into the drainage conditions of 4th
street between Savannah street and Mich

made recently: that the streets the asso-
citation desires to get improved would be
included in the Commissioners estimates

School Conditions Better.
The school committee reported that con.

have been eliminated to large extent by
the presence OF a portable building,

The nonresident order regarding school
