MAY EMOIN MAYOR
-
But st. Louis Executive Says
He Will Sign Bill Kill
ing Franchise.
HOWE's STOCK WORTHLESS
Company Threatens to Test Right Of
City to Repeal Grant at
This Time.

Despite threat Of being enjoined,
Mayor Henry w. Kiel announced that
he would sign the ordinance which
was passed recently for the repeal of
the 50-year franchise to the Southern
Traction Company to operate street
cars over the unfinished free bridge
and to build a loop in the downtown
district Of st. Louis. Phe house of
delegates voted for the repeal 26 to 1.
It was repealed by the council early
in the week.
The bill goes to the mayor for sigma
ture after It has been signed by the
speaker of the house of delegates and
the president of the city council. The
special election on the 2 "a million
dollar bond issue to complete the
bridge will be held November 6. 1t is
expected that the mayor will have
signed the bill by that time.
While this, more than anything else,
probably predicts the passage of the
bond issue, it will make virtually
worthless the $330,OOO worth of the
traction c%ompany's bonds hat Jeptha
D. Howse received for the passage of
the franchise and which he lent to the
Lorimer-Gallagher Construction Com,
pany which borrowed $3.50, 900 on the
bonds from the Lorimer bank.
Largely because of that, it was said
that the attorneys for the traction
company would file an injunction to
prevent the mayor from signing the
measure. They have served warning
that they will have the courts of the
city and the state interpret the law as
to whether the city has a right to re.
peal the franchise. If the injunction is
granted, it is believed here that it
would again defeat the bridge bond
issue.

Assures Thorough Training.
This seems rather a drastic idea.
out one can understand 1t. The Dun
can idea is thar the body, and also
the mind, must be alowly but very
surely trained.
Little by little the pupils arrive at
a right way of moving as well as a
right way of thinking. They become
thoroughly strong and healthy, they
learn how to walk and run and Jump
and dance. They learn how to appre-
clate the beauties of nature-espe-
cially the beauty and subtle charm
OF flowers.
BY the time they become profess
sional dancers they are as well trained
in all essentials as were the Greek
women of olden days 1t is a really
hne idea and everyone wishes the
scheme the success it deserves.
1t is little way from Greek dances
to Greek draperies And the latter
become more and more fashionable in
Paris, where evening gowns are con-
cerned. Some OF the new evening
corsages are plated and draped in
imitation of the famous Greek statues

taken to obtain the correct "ligne."

materials for such gowns as these
and the plaitings are Of the accordion

remarkably effective Greek dresses
