The department discontinued t.

Washington put up such a protest
through Representative Currier that
the department had to back down and
revoke its order to discontinuance.
Hixon then gave up in despair. He re-
called his family from Massachusetts,
reopened his store and is now doing
business as postmaster with grim de-

The post Office is fourth-class Of

amounts to about 5000 a year. AL

Boston, April 11.-There is little

girls here will ratify the agreement
with the Bell Telephone Co. by their
vote today.
The imported girl strikebreakers
de luxe, who were quartered in the
most fashionable hotels here by the
company, began leaving early in the
day.
There were fully 1000 strikebreak-
ers here. By tonight only between 200
and 300 will be left This will be the

permitted an extra days holiday be-
cause of the tiresome journey.

She said she had done so last week.
That is only four months the Pro-
tective League took to make that re-
port. =
Yondorf promised to work with the
Protective League in the future.
Yondorf formerly was connected
with the Yondorf stores. He has re-
tired now. He was asked if he thought
low wages caused the fall of girls.
"Yes," he said, 'if a girl isn't get
ting enough to live on. But girls
should work outside the loop, on the
north side or on the outskirts of the
city. Wages are lower in the loop
than anywhere else" -
Yondorf was asked what he form
erly had paid cash girls. He. said he
usually engaged sixteen-year-old
girls and started them in at$7 week.
AS soon as they were able, to handle
the work, he said he paid them $40
a week, and that he raised them after
that.
Mrs. Britton recommended that the
appointment of at least twenty po-
icewomen for Chicago. She said she
thought such poicewomen would do
much to prevent the dance hall evil.

CASE OF ROBERT WEBB, AUTO
BANDIT, IN HANDS OF JURY
The case of Robert Webb, auto
bandit and slayer of Detective Peter
Hart, went to the jury at noon today.
1t is expected verdict will be reach
ed before night.
Assistant States Attorney John
Fleming closed for the prosecution.
He demanded the death penalty, say
ing that if Webb were sent to the
gallows it would clear Chicago of
gunner and crooks.
Webb's attorney, Francis D. Bor-
reIli, closed his final plea to the jury
at 1920. He declared the shooting
of Hart by Webb was an accident and
without malice He pointed out that
Webb did not know who Hart was
and that Cassella, in whose fiat the
killing occurred always had had an
unsavory reputation. 80 -.
The case of the prosecution was
weakened by the fiat refusal OF
James Perry, the convicted auto
bandit, to testify against Webb. The
prosecution expected to prove
through Perry that Webb had gun
at the time of the shooting.
But Perry refused to take the
stand, saying that although Webb
had testified against him, had, in
deed, been the only material witness
against him, he himself was not that
sort of a skunk. Several indictments
still are hanging over Perry's head.

THE FLOOD SITUATION

Cairo, ILL.,, April 11.-The Ohio river
here has been falling one-tenth of a
foot daily since Wednesday and now
marks 81 4-10ths feet. ..

Mississippi river at Wilson's and
Graves, Ark, and the subsequent fall
at Memphis of one foot since Thurs
day morning, it is probable that this
city will soon be out of the danger

For three hours and three quarters on Tuesday evening, from o'clock till 11.45, the entire board of education gave it's time and attention to disc%ss- ing plans for meeting the needs of the schools of the town. It was a meeting adjourned from last Friday night.
 Representatives of fire escape con cerns appeared before the board with statements in regard to their respective goods, and on the merits of the case the contract was awarded to the Hart ford Iron Works. The price for the work had not been totaIled up exactly on Tuesday night, and for that reason the board decided that the figures would not be given out to the public until later. The fire escapes are to con form to the law which went into effect last summer, and will necessitate es- capeS on nine school buildings. The board has been considering the matter of escapes for some time, and in bring ing attention to the matter have had the CO., operation of Fire Marshal How ard L. Stanton. The work on the fire escapes will be started by the Hartford firm at once.
