R. G. WHITELAW SUIT
TO GO BEFORE JURY
Harrison Lawyers Argue That
Judge Should Try $4,000
Case.

Attorneys for William H. Harrison
in his suit to collect $4,000 from
Rodney G. Whtelaw as his contribu-
ton toward paying a 100000 note of
the Cape Girardeau d Jackson Inter-
urban Railway Co., yesterday endeav-
orcd to virtually win their case by a
Isubterfugc on the first day of the trial
by having the trial before the Court in
stead of Jury.
Sam 3. Jefries, of st. Louis, and
Senator r. Il. Oliver, Mr.. Harrison's
counsel, argued for the Court trial of
the case, but TO no avail.
Mai. Giboney Houck put up an eff
fcctivc opposition to the move that
was made by the opposing counsel
and the Judge announced that testi-
mony bearing on questions Of fact was
to be given before 4 Jury.
The attorneys for Whitelaw then
were instructed to frame their Ques-
tons bearing on points brought up in
arguing the instructions to the jury
and be prepared in the afternoon to
present them.
In the organization of the street
railway system in the Cape, the car
company gave its note for 100000
for money borrowed from st. Louis
banking institution.
The note was Endorsed as accOmmo-
dation signers by seven men in the
Cape among whom were Mr.. Whitelaw,
Mr. Harrison and Mr.. Himmelberger.
IN the agreement made at the time
the note was signed by the indorsers
it was stipulated that the railway
company was to take the note up in a
certain way at the close of a certain
length of time, when the utilities COM
pany should purchase the railway sys-
TEN.
This situpation was not performed
and owing to that fact, Whitelaw CON
tends he is absolved of his obligation
as an accommodation signer.
When the note fell due, Mr.. Har-
rison ana Mr.. Himmelberger raised the
money with which to take the note up
and now that some of the signerS have
died, they are suing other parties to
the Endorsement for contributions to
make up the amount of the 100000
note.
The case promises now to occupy
til New Years before it is completed,
according to court officers.
Mr.. Himmelberger's suit against
Whitelaw was tried before Judge Ran
Gey last fall, and the decision was
against Whitelaw. He promptly ap-
pealed the case and it now is pending
before the St. Louis Court of APP
peals.

month. rather Nuftaugn declared
that higher salaries for instructors,
Just as in any other industrial or bust
ness activity, draws better grade of
talent, and holds it in the school.
The members of the faculty at the
high school are required to hold Il
graduates certificate from a State
Normal School or University and in
the opinion of several of the speakers
that is a consideration that has made
the faculty one Of the strongest in the
state
Prof. c. P. Coley of the Cape Girar-
deau Business College, represented
that school in an address on the value
of strong high school to the city.
He pointed out that high school stu
dents invariably make better students
N his institution than those who have
not had that training and he said they
usually give the business men who en-
plOy them, better service, after they
have been graduated as boOkkeepcrs,
or stenographers.
John Laidlaw, Il former superintcnd-
ent Of schools in the Cape and recently
appointed principal of the Clifton
Heights School i'm st. Louis, made an
address in which he complimented the
city upon the acquisition of the new
building and educational equipment.
Laidlaw declared that he had trav-
eIed over the state of Missouri so ex-
tensively in the last few years that he
had come into contact with almost all
its high schools He said that for the
purpose which this building is planned
to serve, it is not excelled by any of
the structures in St. Louis or Kansas
City.
Miss Martha Shea represented the
women of the Cape when she made a
short address. Miss Shea said the
women regarded the new high school
as something more than a building
and its equipment. They have regard
for the pride that their children will
take in their school and the influences
for good under which they will come
when going there, she said
Miss Shea was followed by County
Supervisor J. T. Mcdonald, who told
of the Improvement of the country :
schools and thercupon Mr. Gass gave
his address.
Mr.. Gass said there are 10000 men !
in the state giving their services for
the sake of educational work as men, !
bers of school boards or boards of |
trustees. There are 10000 teachers, !
he said, who almost give their ser
vices"
This school building is an invest t
ment that will be returned to the citi-
zens of this city four-fold. You will |
be sorry in the near future that you |
have not made it much larger"
He likewise complimented the Cape
Board of Education on the acquisi-
ton of the building and declared it to /
be plant unex"elled in the state.
Secretary of the Board, Lee L. Bow
man, made the speech Of presentation,
in turning over the building to the
public and DR.. Dearmont and A. H.
made addresses of accept
ance.
The program was concluded by
selection, Apple Blossoms" by the
nigh school orchestra. Members of
