be enabled to handle transgressors in
telligently and adequately.
The rapid and extensive growth of
our west end residence section makes
it imperative that the contemplated
construction of sewers in this district
be diligently pushed to a speedy con-
clusion, so that not only the health of
the citizens of that neighborhoOd, but
of the citizens of the entire city be
safeguarded and conserved.
In this connection l want to also call
your attention to the needs of the
north end section for sewers, and
steps should be taken to provide
sewer system for this portion of the
city as well.
The Board of Health is to be COM
mended for their diligent efforts and
is to be congratulated upon the gen
orally satisfactory health conditions
existing in our city, brought about by
their labors. 1t is to be hoped that
they will continue their vigilent watch
fulness, and, 1 might say, thankless
job. AS an appreciative acknowledge
ment though of their good work, the
council should give carful and pains
taking consideration to its recommen-
dations and assist the members of the
board in the carrying out of such mea-
sures as may be contemplated and
deemed advisable by them for the bet
torment of health conditions in the
future.
Respectfully submitted with my sin
cere thanks for your cooperation in
conducting the affairs of the city, and
bespeaking your assistance in that be-
half in the future.
Yours truly,
F. A. Kagc, Mayor.

individual park that should be &C.
quired and maintained.
Fourth: Keeping in mind the above
idea of park system, it is not abso-
utely essential that what is known
as the Cape Rock property be acquir-
ed, but the Commercial Club feels that
this is the only opportunity left for
acquiring a river drive overlooking
our most beautiful, natural object of
beauty, and it has been for three
years using its influence to prevent
the owners of said property from dis
posing of same to other parties for
other purposes.
Fifth: The Commercial Club through
its Park Committee begs to suggest
to your Honorable Body that action on
the ordinance now pending be post>
poned, and suggests that if your hon

orable body so desires, it will secure
statistical information with reference
to the wishes of the people of Cape
Girardeau and will at future meet
ting of the Council, if you so desire,
present same to the Council in con-
crete form for their consideration be-
fore passing upon so important a
question.
The Commercial Club, through its
committee, sincerely desires and be-
lieves that your Honorable Body will
understand the spirit of this cOmmuni-
cation and believes that it will be met
in the some cooperative spirit for it is
only by cooperation that the highest
good to the city can be accomplished.

therein for crossing purposes. The
making of such paths would not be al
lowed in any other well-governed city,
and there is no good reason why this
should be tolerated here. To prevent
this, in a measure at least, and to call
the attention Of the unthinking pub
lie to this bad practice, suggest the
planting Of hedges along the outer
borders of the grounds and along the
walks.
Your attention, and that of your
predecessors, has been many times
called to the matter of supplying .
way to dispose of our garbage. | must
again admonish you that it has become
an imperative necessity to devise some
method for disposing of this garbage
1t has become a problem which our
Board of Health is no longer able to
handle, and something must be done
to find way out Of this difficulty.
Many complaints are made with ref
erence to automobiles exceeding the
speed limit, especially on residences
and outlying streets, thus not only
violating the city ordinances, but also,
and which is more fragrant, endanger-
ing the lives of children and pedes-
trians | want to now and always i'm
press it upon our police force that they
must see to it, as it is their duty to do
so, that the ordinances governing the
speed of automobiles is rigidly en-
forced, and that they must, likewise
see to it that the users of automobiles
comply with the ordinances in the
matter of keeping their lights lit.
The attention of the police force is
also directed to the brazenness with
which some undesirable characters are
permitted to openly, on the streets,
make known their chosen avocatiOn.
The police officers are warned that
unless they suppress these street
walkers" their positions may be en-
1t has been the custom for several
years in the past, that where new
streets were made, or old ones paved,
the expense of making the cross walks
was borne by the city, as an induce
ment, l presume, to encourage others
to petition the city for street improve
ments. The condition of, and the many
demands upon the general revenue
fund. does not warrant the continu-
ance of this practice, and / according
" recommend that in the future this
expense be included in the estimate of
the Improvement expense to be assess
ed against the abutting property.
Not only myself, but my predecess-
ors, as well, have for long time in
the past, in every semi-annual mes
sage, called attention to the deplorable |
condition of our city ordinances and |
to have them codified and |
printed. Our ordinances are in a very |
chaotic shape and are becoming /
more so every day. 1t is hard mat
Ter to ascertain what ordinances or
parts thereof have been repealed, and

SMILES Get SHOEMAN
TO PASS BAD CHECK
M. Samuels Liked Swindler's
Conversation So Well He Hated
For Him to Go.

NJ. Samuels, shoe repairer and
dealer at No. 16 N. Main street was
vlctimized by a check swindler who
appeared at Mr. SamueIs' place of
business Saturday afternoon and after
purchasing a pair of shoes paid for
the same with worthless check and
received in change $3.50 for good
money.
Mr.. Samueis did not know that he
had been cheated until he carried his
receipts to the bank yesterday to make
deposit, when the fraud was discov-
cred by W. Palmer Oliver as he was
totaling the amount.
The check was drawn on the Stur-
divant Bank for the sum of $685.. 1t
was made payable to A. Becker, dated
July 2, 1915, and signed by Charles
Freeman.
Mr.. Samuels, when interviewed con-
corning the incident, said:
81 remember when this swindler
came into my shop. There were sever
al men in there and they had all been
talking and laughing and appeared to
be good, friendly fellows. l was glad
to have them visit me and | enjoyed
their company. When this man Beck
er walked in, they all seemed to know
him, and he snook hands with three or
four of them, and they appeared to be
very glad to see each other. Some of
them asked HIM where he had been
keeping himself, and he replied that he
had been out on his old job with the
bridge gang. They talked and had a
good time, and l was pleased with the
appearance of the stranger. He talked
so nice and was such a pleasant ap-
pearing fellow that l liked him.
"He asked me if | could fit him with
a good secondhand pair of shoes, and
| was so anxious to please the nice
acting stranger that l gave him an
extra good bargain. / sold him pair
Of good shoes for SIPS, and when
he handed me check for $685. in pay
ment, accepted it without question.
| would have been ashamed to appear
doubtful before so many OF his friends.
l gave him $3.50 in change, and then
he stood around for quite long time
and talked to me. He told me that it
was the best bargain he ever had in
shoes. He said that he usually bought
81 shoes but that he never had a pair
that felt so good on his feet as the
pair / had sold him for SIPS.
''He said that he was coming back
to stock up with a number of bargains
before his gang went away on the
road again, and that he was going to
bring a number of his friends to taSc
advantage of my good bargains.
81 hated to see him go, and after he
left the other fellows talked about
what fine man he was. A few min
utes later they left also and have not
seen any of them since.

attacks Of strikers. who have been
rioting since Saturday afternoon fol-
lowing the walkout Of one thousand
men.
Two men haJ& been killed, a half
dozen injured seriously. Automobiles
have been held up and their occu-
pants beaten and innocent bystanderS
have been the target of volleys of
bricks hurled by the Infatuated mob
in its desperate resistance to Sheriff
Day, his deputies and the soldiers sent
here by Gov. Whitman, when it was
seen that the county authorities could
not handle the situation.
Exchange Shots.
Cold steel and firing by the state
troops have awed the strikers and
Monday night the backbone of the
strike is broken, the only hostility oc-
curing Monday being an exchange of
shots between rival factions Of the
men in the woods north of the plant
shortly before daybreak and the seiz-
ure Of freight train.
No4AbSen u the TlnSledOGTS WHO at
tempted TO leave town Monday were
arrested by deputy sheriffs and troops

leader of the strikers with whom they
could meet, went from house to house
among the strikers and announced the
company would pay what the men
demanded if they would return to
work
Stubs was attacked with a crow
bar and a riot followed which called
the troops on the scene. The rioters
scattered.
