Hard Pressed for Money.

The city of Little Rock, however, is much interested in means of rais- ing more revenue.

 Interurban Franchises.

Mayor Shank made an automobile trip about the city yesterday after noon to show Mayor Charles k. Fay Tor. of Little Rock, Ark, how to ar rest violators of the motor speed law, says the Indianapolis News. But not single arrest was made, for the mo- tor car drivers went at funeral pace when they saw the mayors car, waved and smiled at him, and without eX- ception acted in a vdsy obstinate manner, considering the fact that the mayor was trying to give a little in- struction to an out-of-toWn official.
 The mayor-speaking of Mayor Shank was SO interested in the effort to catch just one speeder that he be- came absent minded and told Mayor Taylor that the Indianapolis Orphans Home was the new school for the deaf, hut quickly noticed his mistake and corrected the error.

 Mayor Taylor and Councilmen Hen ry G. Leiser. G. w. Pardee and John II. Hollis are in the city looking into interurban franchises. They have visited Kansas City and have sone ov- CT the Illinois traction system and will leave this evening for Louisville Ky, and Nashville, Tenn.
 Several interurhan companies arc asking for fifty-year franchises from the city of Little Rock without offer ing any compensation to the city. At present there are no interurban lines out of Little Rock and lines contemp- lated are to Hot Springs and to Mem phis, Tenn, Mayor Shank said this city would not take $1,000,000 in cash and be without it's interurban lines. He suggested that if the interurban lines could not be obtained on bet ter terms, they should be allowed to enter Little Rock without compensat- ion.

APPEAL TO BE TAKEN
AGAINST BIEBER AWARD
War Department Unwilling to Pay
$4,000 for Land in Ana
costa Flats.

Another tanSle has arisen in connec-
tion with the requirement by the gov
ernment of certain rarity submerged
lands along the Anacostia river, near
the line of Pennsylvania avenue east
That land is within the boundaries of
the proposed park to be established by
the reclamation of the flats of the river
from the Anacostia bridge to the Dis
trict line. 1t includes squares 1924,
1131 and 114,, and part of squares lily
and 1149, and the title is in the name
of Sydney Bieber, who acquired the
property by purchase from the United
States several years ago. Col. Lang
fit, the engineer officer in charge of
the river park Improvement, and the
District surveyor, tentatively agreed on
the sum of $4,000 as a fair valuation
of the property. and Mr.. Bieber agreed
to accept that amount
Acting Secretary Breckenridge of the
War Department, to whom the matter
was referred, considered the sum named
excessive, and directed that steps be
taken TO condemn the property. \ jury
of condemnation appointed by the Su-
preme Court of the District few days
ago appraised the property and made an
award of S24 130 in favor of Mr. Bieber.
Correspondence between the officials of
the War Department and the District
Commissioners resulted in a decision to
appeal from the judgment of the jury OF
condemnation. and the District corpora
tion counsel has been instructed. to act
accordingly That course was deter
mined on after the War Department had
received and rejected a proposition made
by Mr.. Beber subsequent to the award
of the jury of condemnation to accept
$4,000 for the property without further
litigation

November IS, show that the great dredges
which are working on this slide have ad
vanced channel fifty to 1ao feet wide
and about twenty feet deep from the
northern end GcO feet southwark and
have arrived at the point of greatest OBJ
struction. Working from the south. an
other dredge has reached a point within
go feet of the cut from the north. MAX
ing channel about 100 feet wide.
Meanwhile the sliding hill has been
attacked from the rear by monitors
directing jets of water at 100 pounds
pressure to the square inch against the
rear of the hill. 1t is planned to wash
away 100000 cubic Yards of material in
this way into a deep valley.

prospective jurors. Number II, John
Adams, was challenged for cause by the
defense, because he had served on "a
jury within a year. He was excused.
The state had used four of its twenty
peremptory challenges and the defense
six.
Rain kept down the attendance and the
spectators We're limited to a scattering
few. 1t became known today that the
prosecution did not expect a death
penalty in event of Craig's conviction.
Care has been taken to avoid all men
ton of capital punishment in the ex-
animation of witnesses.
Attorney Ehp Inman will make the
opening statement for the prosecution.
