WOODEN BLOCK
IN POOR SHAPE
May Have to Relay Part OF
Smith Street.

Wretched condition of the wooden
block pavement on Smith street. ag-
gravated by the dampness of the last
two days, drew the attention of city
officials today. 1t was practically de-
cided that the trolley rails should be
relaid on a proper foundation and
that repairs should be made to parts
of the pavement. Mayor Ferd Gar
retson inspected the pavement and
found it bulging up in many places
and broken in others. He said that
the trolley rails lacked a proper
foundation and as a result sagged In
wayy fashion when a car was run
over them. He called the attention
of Alderman f. A. Seaman, chairman
of the committee on streets and
sewers, to the subject.
Mayor Garretson suggests that
with such slippery surfaces as
Smith street has between State
street and the Central railroad
be paved between the trolley
rails and for two feet each side OF
them with granite blocks properly
grouted. He would have the trolley
rails set on a proper foundation and
the granite blocks used as a top sur
face, In that way the solution OF
broken pavements at the side OF rails
would be solved, he believes, and 1t
would give drivers the choice OF
using the slippery surface and the
rougher one. Thus, on wet days they
could use the granite surface, saving
horses from falling and motor-pro-
PEELED vehicles from skidding.
The ordinance covering the sub
ject specifies that the trolley COM
pany shall pave about Its rails with
"the same kind or similar mater1ai'
as that used e the other portion
of the street. Mr.. Garretson says
the right to compel the traction COM
pany to use granite blocks or the
like hinges on the Interpretation OF
the word similar"

MAD LOVER Isl
GIVEN HEARING
Followed Girl Across Ocean
hinder $1,000 Bail.

Pleading drunkenness and asking
to be forgiven, Steve Meaza made a
futile effort to gain his liberty last
night. He was held in default of
$1,000 bail to await the action of
the grand jury on a charge of afro
cious assault. After having pursued
the girl he loved with a shotgun In
his native country several months
ago, he followed her to this city and
threatened to kill her unless she
would marry him. He seized Miss
karolina Hilbricht, the idol OF his
dreams, Thursday night in a maj
ner as to indicate that he was about
to carry out his repeated threat.
Rudolf Hilbricht, the girls father,
interfered and was assaulted He
charged Meaze with assault and bat
terry. Meaza was only held on the
serious charge made by the girl.
Meaza appears to have been mad
dened by his love for Miss Hilbricht,
who is pretty. She spurned his love
on every occasion and in return was
threatened with death. While in
Europe about six months ago, she
testified. Meaza ran after her with a
shotgun in his hand, apparently de-

ried him. She escaped into a neigh
boris house. Last August in COM
pany with her sister she came to this
city. Meaza followed her and took
rooms in the house she now lives in
at GA Charles street, determined
that life was not worth living with
out her. She never cared for him
and he made life miserable for her.
The climax was capped when he
made the double attack on her and
Mr.. Hilbricht Thursday night. Pa
trolman Durham arrested him.
When arraigned before Recorder
Pickersgill last night Meaza seemed
to be the same mad lover. Appear
ing to be penitent at first he declared
he had been drunk and did not know

Neither would talk with him and
Chief of Police Burke had to stand
by the prisoners side to keep him
from annoying them. When the
