TO CHANGE TIE GRADE
Park Place Improvement To Be Set
tied Thursday Evening.

A grade revision ordinance contem-
dating improvements in and near
Park Place" addition to the city of
OskalOosa, from the east end of c
avenue, skirting the north and east
side of the Colonel J. H. Pickett prop
erty, by the Carl Scheuerman, John
Anderson, | w. Cook and other prop
critics, is contemplated by the city
councol Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Ander-
son have been interested some time
n having the improvements made
md have been unfortunate in meet
ing with delay of one or another sort.
The established grade is unsatisfac-
tory. The grading would cost more
than the city had to spend. City
Engineer Hawkins revised the grade,
cutting down attendant expense to
near $1,5OO.O0. This was still a
,reater amount than the city felt like
devoting to the work and Mr.. Hawk
ms was again asked to revise his
work Grades were finally brought
about, the cost of establishing which
in completed work would not reach
one thousand dollars.
These grades were placed in the
form of an amendment to the estab-
liShed ordinance and the matter came
on for hearing at the regular session
of the city council Monday evening.
The ordinance revision passed upon
it's first reading and was referred to
ordinance committee Colonel Pick
EFT wanted the privilege of making
personal examination of the grades
before recommending the ordinance
or final passage, the same as had
been done in the work along North
Second street. Other members of
the council wanted to have the ordi-
nance ride all the way at the Mon
day evening session. Messrs. Pick
EFT and Kessler opposed. After car
rying the ordinance through its three
readings, to 2, the council was set
on the right track by City Attorney
II. B. Mccoy, who informed them that
threefourths vote was required to
suspend the rules, and this the council
did not have.
Further progress of the amend
ment will therefore be deferred until
the adjourned meeting of Thursday
evening, when it will have further
consideration,

ROBBERY At M.& ST.
Thief Gets to Cash Drawer But
Loses Out on Money.

Robbery of the NJ. & st. L. ticket
office was attempted yesterday after
noon between 1890 noon and about
$3.50 in the evening The work was al
done in broad day light and while
several employees were in the second
floor of the building at work. J. Fl
Terril, city passenger agent left the
depot about noon, locking the build
ing as we'll as the office upon leaving
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Terri
thought of some work he wanted t.
look after and returned to the station
Upon arriving he found the office door
spIintered and shipped until a small
hole had been driven through. Mr.
Terril found a pick ak near the door
which had been secured from the
basement of the building.
1t is presumed that the noise OF
splintering the door caused the would
be robber to abandon his plan and
start on another and more tedious
method. The large wooden and steeI
counter over which the tickets are
sold was pulled out from its place and
some thirty bricks removed from the
wall underneath the counter But fate
was against the fellow, for the money
drawer was found on the floor and the
money was scattered in every direc
ton. Mr.. Terril Immediately called
the railroad officials and police author
tiles to the scene, but no clue has as
yet been found.

MRS. MALpWIN pRUMMoNp SUC-
cUMBS-hUS5AND AT FRONT.
Widow Of Late Chicago MuItImiIIion-
aIre Leaves Two Boys Who Are
Considered Richest in U. s.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-Mrs. Maldwin
Drummond, formerly Mrs. Marshall
Field II, is dead in England.
A cablegram conveying this infor.
nation was received by Stanley Field.
The news came as a shock to rela-
tives and friends in this city.
1t had been known that Mrs. Drum
mond was i'll, but none realized that
her condition was so serious.
Details Of the cause of her death
have not been received. Mrs Drum
mond died on her estate, Cadland,
near Southampton, on Saturday morn
ing.
Marshall Field Ill and his bride
sailed Saturday from New York on the
liner St Louis for Liverpool.
In addition to Marshall Field Ill
Mrs. Drummond is survived by two
other children-Henry and Gwendolyn.
The two boys are said to be the rich
est in the United States. Mrs. Louis
Huck, her mother, lives in Chicago.
Mrs. Drummond was married to
Maldwin DrummOnd, grandson of the
third Lord Muncaster, on September
| 3, 1908.
At the time of the marriage it was
reported that the king wished 10 have
the wealthy American woman mar
ried to the prince of Teck, a brother
| of the princess Of Wales.
Mrs. Drummond was the daughter
of Louis C. Huck, a German.AmeriCan
who amassed a fortune in Chicago as
malster. She was married to Mar
shall Field II shortly after he left Har-
ward in 1890. Mr. Field who never
had been in good health, purchased an
estate in bennington, England, near
that of his sister, Mrs. David Beatty,
whose husband, an admiral in the Eng
fish navy, has distinguished himself
during the present war.
Mr.. Field died in Mercy hospital in
this city in 1905 as the result OF
wounds received from an accidental
discharge of a revolver.
Mrs. Drummond received from her
first husbands estate something like
100000. In addition to this, Marshall
Field, Sr., left trust fund of $1,000
900, the income of which was to be
hers during life. She had the right
to make over any or all Of the $500, 000
to Mr. Drummond, but no part of the
principal of the trust fund could be
drawn upon.
A tragic feature of Mrs. Dummond' q
death is that Captain Drummond is on
! the fighting front under Sir John
French in Flanders, and her favOrite
son, Marshall Field III of Chicago, is
now on the Atlantic, on his way to
, his mother.

fighting started Immediately. The
Mexicans we're REINFORCED by other
soldiers and townspeople.
More than five hundred shots were
fired The firing was stopped by a
Mexican officer, who was seen to dash
up to his men from Matamoros and be.
labor them with the fiat of his saber.
Lieutenant Glass ordered his men to
stop firing General Nafarrate and
Col. Chapa, his aid, followed on a gal.
lop to the river bank. Chapa shouted
across in English that the men would
be punished and Immediately placed

ships which respect the maritime code
and that the German government
stands behind this policy. Germany,
he said, hopes for the most satisfac-
tory results from the negotiations now
being taken up in Washington.
Herr Won Jagow expressed conf
dence that through the instructions
given to German submarine command
ers and the precautions now being
taken, the possibility Of further incl
dents that might disturb the relations
between the United States and Ger

While Germany, he said, cannot well
repudiate the report of her submarine
commander who torpedoed the White
Star liner Arabic, yet there is room
for a difference of opinion.
Hope for Arbitration.
Continuing, the foreign minister
said:
I'VE hope that our offer to refer
the case to The Hague for adjudica-
ton will provide a satisfactory set.

and Germany are not able to adjust
the question by direct negotiations.
Neutral merchantmen, including
Americans, are exempt from interior.

carrying contraband and will then be
destroyed only under the conditions
laid down in the international code
concerning maritime war, when pro.
vision is made for the safety of those
aboard.
We desire no discords in our re-
lations with America, but continuance
in the old course of friendship, with
no further incidents to trouble it.
Opposed Public Opinion.
THE limitations of activities of our
submarines has not been carried
through without certain resistance OF
public opinion. But the present pol

of his majesty, viii have the support
of all.
"MischanCe cannot be eliminated
entirely in war time nor dangers for
nonCombatants, either in land or sea
war, absolutely guarded against, but
every preCaution has been taken sc
far as lies in the power Of the i'm

terests of neutrals.
Should the present instructions
governing the submarine campaign be
exceeded in any respect the imperial
government, as the chancellor assured
you recently, would not hesitate to
give such complete satisfaction to the
United States as would conform to the
friendly relations between the two
governments"

Speaking of corn and frost, Willis
Without has great field of the

finished and matured as one would
care to look upon and Willis says he
is ready for frost any old day now.
He brought a sample to the Herald
office to substantive his declarations.
This particular variety of corn is
Mr.. Willhoit's own breeding and he
has been years and years in develop
ing it. He has been presislUnt in
striving for an early maturing corn.
When he started his work years ago
and began talking breeding earlier
corn to his neighbors he was laugh

crank, a visionary and theorist
Mr.. Willhoit's corn this season is
a triumph OF his long continued la.

fully matured fields win DO record
