CAR WINDOW INJURIES BOY
VI. ID. Wilson'S Son Has Hand Hurt
On Frisco Train.

When car WINDOW of the Frisco
accommodation train to Commerce fell
yesterday morning as the train
started, George Keen Wilson, 6-year-
old son of Mercer d. Wilson, of 327
North Ellis street, had his hand
caught and crushed, injuring him seri-
ously.
The lad was going with his father
to Commerce and had taken seat be-
side one of the windows. His father
was in another part of the car talking
to friends and was attracted by the
cries of his son.
The window had been caught after
it fell on the boys hand in such way
that Wilson could not release his son
for several moments and until assist
ance was offered by fellow passengers.
The train was stopped in the lower
part of the yards, where Mr.. Wilson
and his son left it to return to the
Cape for a doctor

JOHN HERBST TURNS
LATCH ON ELKS BAR
Saloon on Themis Street is
Closed Proprietor Takes
New Place.

The Elks Bar, located on the ground
floor of the EIks Building, was closed
by its proprietor, John Herbst, yester-
day. Mr.. Herbst recently purchased
the Green Tree saloon, on West Good
Hope street, and the downtown bar
was closed.
The Elks Bar was looked upon by
those who patronized it, as a land
mark. Its proprietor boosted of its
cleanliness. John Herbst had a set of
rules that governed those who entered
his saloon and he kept each one of
them. Unruly conduct was barred, and
customers who INDUCED in boisterous
conduct were elected from the place
During the time Mr.. Herbst operated
the saloon no complaint was ever
made against the place.
The future of the big room on The
mis- street is undecided. A restaurant
has been suggested, but it is under
stood that the Elks Club is opposed to
a restaurant going in the building be-
cause of its aroma.

Lucky No. 7 Goes to the Bad

day, the Thirteenth.

Friday, the thirteenth, does not
come often, but when it does, queer
things happen.
Motorman Chris Cruise and Con-
ductor John Bull, who are in charge
of street car No. Z, have been under
the impression that no harm could be-
fall them, because their car bore a
lucky number.
"I'm glad We have No. Seven today,
Chris" said Mr.. Bull to his motorman

it was Friday, the thirteenth. 81 ex-

Mr.. Cruise.
Then Mr.. Bull yanked the bell chord
twice and Number Seven pulled out of
the sheds. keep your weather eye

"Why, | could make this car sit up
and shake hands with me-" answered
the motorman.
By this time they had reached the
Fairgrounds and pointed the nose of
the car toward William street. As the
car sped>across Broadway, large
black cat chased itself across the
track. Motorman Cruise gasped for
breath. Can you beat it, john
shouted Cruise to his conductor.
Hold 'er down, boy; this critters

MOtorman Cruise crossed his fingers

before he finished the statement, there
was crash beneath the car. Then the
front feet of the coach skidded from

FORNFELT PAVING
GOES TO LOEFFEL
Century Construction Co. Fails
To Finance So, 900
Proposition.

Because they found it impossible to
finance the street paving job at Form
felt with the city'S special tax bills.
the Century Construction Company of
st. Louis was forced to give the con-
tract up and officials of the city have
been in communication with Herman
LOeffel of Cape Girardeau, seeking to
have him take the work.
The paving job was awarded to the
st. Louis firm August by the City
Council on a bid of $50, 3625O. 1t car
ried a proviso that the contract was
to be closed and work commenced
within 10 days after the bid was ac-
cepted and finished with 100 days
after that.
The st. Louis construction company,
on receiving the Job endeavored to get
the job financed through some of the
st. Louis banks. 1t is understood that
one of the banks of s.. Louis, which
had financed considerable improve
ment propositions in Southeast Mis-
souri, cities, refused to entertain the
Fornfelt proposition.
| The city issues the special tax bills
| against the property owners who are
to pay for the improvements. These
are turned over to the contractor who
does the work. 1t is up to the con-
| tractor to dispose of these bills so that
he can get the money to go ahead with
the work
! Usually, it is possible to obtain a
loan from bank, placing the tax bills
as collateral security for the loan. I'm
der normal business conditions, such
tax bills are easily placed with banks
and accepted as good commercial pa
per.
The Fornfelt city official advised
Loeffel they had been notified We'd
nesday that the Century Construction
Company would have to let the job
go, and they asked Loeffel to come to
Fornfelt last Thursday to attend &
meeting of the City Council when the
matter of turning the contract over to
him as next lowest bidder would be
attended to.
Loeffel could not go, so they have
urged him to attend their meeting
Monday night. LOeffel's bid on the
work is $34,14S1O.
Colonel" T. Jeff Shorb was refused
the job although he entered the lowest
bid of all, SCI ,29O.O7. On grounds that
his bid was IRREGULAR
"Loeffel last night said he virtually
had completed arrangements to fl
nance the lob, if it should be awarded
to him at tn ecOunciI meeting in Form
felt Monday night. There are a few
details to attend to yet, he said.
The job will be financed by Cape
Girardeau banks, he said, if he under
takes the work
The job is for about a mile of street
paving and will place the three prin-
ciple streets in the town in first class

FINDS MRS. MACKE INSANE

A jury yesterday found Mrs. Macke
of unsound mind at her trial before
Probate Judge Ed Hays in Jackson.
The information which brought the old
woman to trial was filed by Justice
of the Peace Ephriam Hasty of White
water.
Mrs. Macke walked from Whitewa-
ter to Allendale and then rode to
court. When learned the nature of
the investigation, she left the court
room and returned to her home. 1t is
probable that the public administrator
will take charge of her affairs.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
TOUR CALLED OFF
Jackson Homecoming Makes
Trip Impossible and Post
pOnement Follows.

The two-day automobile Swing
around the county that had been
planned for today and yesterday by
the Commercial Club of Cape Girar-
deau and similar organization in
jackson, yesterday was called off for
this week by President Mcpherson.
The Jackson business men notified
the Cape officials that owing to their
preparations for Homccomcrs' week
beginning Thursday, they found it I'M
practicable to make the junket. The
Cape business men were unprepared
to make the trip alone, so the date was
deferred.
A committee Of the Commercial
Club will consider a new date and
make an announcement as soon as it
NAV be determined. The committee of
the proposed iunket is composed of
County Farm Adviser McWlliams,
Secretary A. H. Hinchey and County
Highway Engineer Dennis Scivally.
The date today conflicts also with
the date set by the Retail Merchants
Association in the Cape for their an
nual summer cutting on river steam
er for their employees. They will de-
part in the faternoon and return late
in the evening.
All stores conducted by members of
the association will be closed from
noon on this afternoon on account of
the outing.

PHILLIPS PLANT
Will BE REBUILT
Insurance Adjusters Make New
Speed Record in Adjust
ing Claims

AdJuSterS Of the fire insurance
companies holding policies on the Phil
lips Lumber Company, which was
burned one week ago, yesterday fin
ished their examination and settled
with the officials of the lumber COM
pany, and it was announced yesterday
that work on the reconstruction of the
plant would begin tomorrow.
Approximately $22,500 was paid to
]. w. Phillips, president of the COM
pany, and his partners. The Tribune
was reliably informed yesterday that
the insurance lacked about $4,000 of
covering the loss.
The company carried insurance Of
about ninety per cent of the actual
value of the stock on hand. The fix
lures were insured for less than one
half of their value and only 5000 was
carried upon the four mules, three of
which persisted in the flames, and the
fourth so badly burned that it is not
expected to recover.
There was about 1000 more in
surance carried upon the building than
the edifice was valued at by the in
surance adiusters. This estimate was
made after a contractor furnished a
statement showing the price for which
he would rebuild it.
The amount in excess of the value
of the building is not paid by insur-
ance companies, and consequently the
lumber company did not collect this
amount. Errors in issuing insurance
in excess of the actual value of a
building, are due, said an insurance
adiuster yesterday, to the agents ig-
norance of property valuations.
On of the adiusters who spent sew
eral days in this city this week, in
formed The Tribune that the Phillips
Lumber Company and its contents on
the night of the blaze, possessed a val
uation of approximately $4,000. This
indicates that the actual loss to the
owners of the plant will be at least
So 900.
The insurance was adjudicated in
what insurance men consider record
time. The companies holding policies
Gil the building were notified Monday
of the fire and the adiusters arrived
in this city the following day. John
H. Himmelberger, one of the prin-
cipaI stockholders, kept a duplicate
record of the stock on hand and the
sales. This facilitated the work of the
insurance men in ascertaining the
losses quickly.
The new building will be begun to-
morrow, it is understood, and will be
absolutely fire-proof. A greater part
of the structure will be of concrete,
hich will make it immune to fire.
The new plant will be much larger
than the one destroyed, and will be
completed in time to accommodate the
autumn trade.
