DIVORCES CAUSE CRIME, SAYS
T. SPEED M0SBY IN NEW BOOK

jefferson City Mo, Sept. 10
That practically fifty per cent of
tho inmates OF reformatories are
the offspring of divorced parents is
one of the facts contained in Thorn
as Speed Mosbys latest book
Causes and Cures of Crime to be
issued this month, and in which the
divorce problem is handled without
gloves. "Ircland is the least Grim
inal country of the world" says
Mr. Mosby, "and Ireland also shows
the lowest divorce rate in the
world The author says that di-
vorre in the United states amounts
almost to national scandal, and
he regards these conditions as a
fruitful cause OF crime. The re-
cent report of the Chicago Vice
Commission" says he, indicates
that divorce is a leading factor in
sexual crime"

COUNCIL ORDERS
ELIMINATION OF
Wild CAT CHUTE
Notorious Eyesore Surprises City
Dads Who Determine Upon
Drastic Action.
TO DRAFT AN ORDINANCE
C0NDEMNING THE SHhCKS

Notorious "Wild Cat Chute" To-
Gated at the corner of Twelfth and
Commercial and extending back to
Railroad street, Is to be a thing Of
the past if proper legislation is
forthcoming as the result of a resolu-
tion introduced yesterday morning
at a meeting of the mayor and the
city commissioners The resolution
provides that the city attorney pre-
pare an ordinance condemning the
shaCks on lots there.
The commissioners formed their
conclusions on what should be done
after their visit through the Chute"
TUESDAY afternoon. They invests
gated the conditions and the descrip-
ton that Health Officer Clarke gave,
in his report several weeks ago when
he made a tour of inspection, was
viyidly recalled. Surprise was ex-
pressed that such a situation had
been allowed to exist SO long and it
was determined then and there to
take steps to abate such public
nuisance an menace to the health
of the lives there and in that vi
cinity
After the ordinance is drawn up
and passed the city will be compell-
cd to have the property appraised by
three parties 10 determine whether
or not the buildings are over 50 per
cent dilapidated. In case such a
conclusion is reached the city Will
raze the shacks after sufficient
number of days notice.
A party OF Illinois Central rail-
road officials interviewed the council
relative TO switch track privilege on
Railroad street between CONNER
cial and Ohio streets. The l. G. is
willing to accept the track ordinance
heretofore granted to the Big Four,
if granted the restricting clause SO
that other roads may be allowed prl-
village on the tracks.
Last spring the council granted
the Big Four track privileges there
with section in the ordinance Civ
ing other roads track facilities in
the same block The Big -Four it
seems desired the tracks strictly for
it's own use. Tho Illinois Central
wants the same ordinance with the
clause granting their track usage to
the other roads. The matter was
deferred until the regular meeting
next Monday.
The ordinance providing for the
inspection of all property by the
fire department known as the inspee-
tion ordinance was placed on it's
second reading and adopted.
The substitute milk ordinance
was placed on it's second reading
and adopted. This substitute was Of
fered as a substitute for the orig

tic for a city of Cairo's size.

THREE MERCHANTS
IDENTIFY White
NAN AS FORCER
Arrested by Deputy Sheriff Greaney
in Emerson's Saloon on Com
plant of Victim.
PLEADS GUILTY AND IS HELD
OVER FOR COUNTY COURT

L. J. Quinlan of Chicago, pleaded
guilty Wednesday morning before
Judge Lutz to charge of forgery
He was held for the county court
under $500 bond.
Quinlan, who was arrested Tues
day night by Deputy Sheriff w. p.
Greaney was identified as the white
man who, last week passed forged
checks on several up town mer-
chants to the amount of $500 each
and who has been wanted since that
tine
He was taken into custody in
Emersons saloon, Twenty-second
and Sycamore streets, after he had
been seen there by an employe OF
one Of the stores, who notified Dep
uty Greaney.
Last week Quinlan went into
three up town stores; Hebsackers,
at Twenty-second and Pine streets,
Jones at Twenty and Pine
streets and Prentis' at Twenty
eighth and Sycamore streets. In
each place he purchased so cents
worth of flour, and u like quantity
of coffee and sugar. lie produced
4 check for $500 made out to j. T.
Walsh, and $3.50 in cash was re-
turned to him at all three OF the
stores.
When the merchants tried TO get
the checks eashed, they found they
were the victims of a. clever forger
A similar scheme was perpetrated
on a number of other local mer-
chants some weeks ago by a negro
who has not been seen or heard OF
since.
Yesterday the barkeeper at
Emerson's~ saloon reported that
Quinlan was In the saloo1f earlier In
the day with several negroes, which
leads the authorities to believe the
men had worked the game together
and that they are wanted for other
forgeries.
Quinlau was identified at the
county Jail by each of the three
merchants as the man who passed
the bogus checks on them.

BASSE1T CALLS
DIRECTORS FOR
some DISCUSSION
Says He Would Exceed Authority in
Throwing Out Games Played
Last 20 Days.
DECISION WILL DECIDE
THE PFNNANT WINNERS

Paducah, Ky. Sept. 10-Directors
of the Kitty league have been call
ed together for next Saturday by
President Frank II. Bassett for the
passing finally on the elimjnation
of games in which the Clarksville
club has played pitcher Wright and
Third Baseman Franks. of the Har-
risburg team. President Bassett
has made known his belief that the
games should be ousted from the
Kitty league percentage column.
Every fair minded director viii take
a like view of the question.
Clarksville has attempted to dis
rupt the league simp!.- to better her
cwn selfish interests. They have
openly violated the league rules de-
spite the Mornings and adyices of
Tres dout Bassett. Prpnably they il
tend to drpcnd upon tha support of
representatives. of the various teams
II th3 Kitty for a final decision Cor
no gaze can be thrown out by the
presidcnt du' ng the last 80 days OF
II { seasch TlC directors alone can
throw ont such games as they see fit.
In the event their action is displeas-
ing or unsatisfactory to either the
Paducah or Clarksyille management
the case may be taken to .he ma
tional commission for a final hearing
and ultimately a decision.
IN the event the directors sustain
President Bassetts action in throw
ing out games in which Franks and
Wright have played, Paducah might
lose all the four games yet TO be
played and still capture the bunting.
Should the directors see fit to per-
NIT the games TO stick Paducah
would be one point behind Clarkes-
willie now.
One thing is certain there never
was an occurrance in the Kitty
league which hart organized base
ball as tho tactics employed by
.Nlarkosville. Fans and maguatcs will
think of the Clarkesvillc-P Paducah
argument long after the Kitty IS
forgotten ar has grown into a class
&c or = league. In all sincerity, such
tactics are degrading They make
a joke of the meaning of the word
sport" "
Kitty league directors as a whole,
are fair~minded and inclined to DO
what is right. There are some who
are said to be directly the opposite.
In the event the decision Of the di-
rectors is favorable to Paducah and
against the ringing in of "all-stars"
on the team, which, without them, is
ono Of the best in the league, then all
is well but otherwise a blot will have
been cast on the Kitty and all ar
ganized baseball It viii then be up
