RAILROADS AGREE
TO RAISE TRACKS
OvfRCR0SSL[V[f
City Officials Stand Firm in Demand
and Railroads Concede
the Point.
NEARLY 3S,C06 CUBIC
YARDS IN APPROACHES
Four Tracks Cross Levee Which VIII
Be Raised to Sixty
Foot Grade.

AS the result of many conferences
between railroad officiais, city oft-
GERS and engineers, at last an
agfeem mt was reached Yesterday
satisfactory to the city, the railroads
asreeire to comply with the de-
Tands If the city In regard to work
made necessary in the raising OF the
Cross lcvee.
This section of the Crogs lcvce,
about 500 feet in Notwithstanding
from stations 292 to 297, |at present
at 81 foot grade, is crossed by fcGr
railroad tracks.
The railroads did not want this
section Of the levee raised as it
wolld compel them to raise or ri4-
vate their road beds on both sides
in order to get over the so foot ley.a
which was to be the height of the
entire levee system surrounding the
city Of Cairo.
The raising of the levee is part of
the work of the National Government
and only required about 2,700 cubic
yards Of earth to complete while the
railroads in raising their embank-
ments IN both sidFs in order to set
over the leyee .necessitated the ex-
penditure of about $4,000 as there
would be approximately $4,000 cut<
yards Of earth required to make8the
necessary fills - -
The City officials stood firm and
the result is that the levee from the
Iron Mountain to where it connects
with the big fill of the Illinois Cen
tral will be elevated to the 60 foot
height and the railroads defray the
cost of the work OF raising their APP
proachos on both sides so as to cross
over the leyeo at its increased Gle.

hoy SCOUTS WILL
| PLANT IVY ALONG
THE LEvEE WALL
Suggestion Taken Up by Local Troop
and Boys Ready to Begin
Work.
COMMITTEE BEGINS CANVASS
FOR 2 BASKET BALL TEAMS
F-fe New Members Will be Initiated
a. a Meeting to Be Held
Soon,

Some time ago it was brought to
the attention of the city authorities
that the stone retaining wall along
Ohio levee presented a very bare an
pearance to visitors in Cairo and
that something should be done t0
make the wall look more attractive,
A suggestion was made to the To-
cal troop of Boy Scouts that they
undertake the planting of ivy along
the wall, to remedy the defect in its
appearance.
The subject has been under dis
cussion in tho troop for several
weeks, and the general opinion wes
that the idea should be adopted. and
by furthering it, the troop could be
of assistance to the city and Incl
dentaily gain more favor with the
people of Cairo.
The officers of the troop now al
nounce that they desire TO take Up
the project and to this end they have
written to several firms dealing in
ivy plants asking for their prices,
and information about planting, care
etc.
The funds for the work will be
taken either from the troop treac-
ury, or secured by public subscriD-
ton, or in other way the officers OF
the organization see fit.
Several other matters have been
considered at the meetings among
which was the organization of a
Boy Scout basket ball team. Two
basket balls have been purchased

New York, May 13.-Slashing,
thrusting and stabbing with keen
invectives, battering with alleged

sci for Charles Becker, fought today
to save his client from the chair by
a bitter attack on Bald Jack" Rose,
chief witness for the state in Becker's
second trial for the murder of Gam
bier Herman Rosenthal.
The attack was evaded at every
point. Rose, slim, collected, calm,
sank back in his chair after each on
slaught, untouched, Untrapped.
Furious attack was met by appar-
entity unmoved calm. In the first
hour of his cross-examinatiOn, Rose
resisted every 6HOrC 10 enLanSIe uln
and Becker, leaning over his coun--
sells table, looked grave as he saw
the mistaken attitude of the man
whose story may send the ex-pOlice
lieutenant to his death.
His voice fairly cracking with ag-
gressfveness, Manton then attacked

DEADLY ENGINE
INVENTED BY DAVIS
Aerial Torpedo Devised by a Young
Man of St. Augustine

Washington. June 24.-Herman
S. Davis of St. Augustine may rank
as a great inventor. Davis, who is
only % years old. has invented an
aerial torpedo which promises to
play an important part in future
wars. His torpedo can be shot out of
a mortar and explojes in the air,
dropping a succession of bombs
over an army or city of the en-
emy. Its possibilities for death and
destruction are almost incalculable.
Mr.. Davis came to Washington
few days ago and Representative
Frank Clark, who has taken a great
interest in him, saw that he had the
proper introductions to high officials
OF the war department He will
have an interview this week with
the chief of the signal service.
