"Bil1" "B1akemore
Thinks a Spy Is
Shadowing Him
Asks for a Raise and Gets a
Mysterious Letter, Which
Proves to Him He Doesn't
Work One day in the Year.

William Blakemore, the tobacco
man, best known as "Bill, the Tuxedo
kid" is wondering whether or not he
is to be given raise by the American
Tobacco Company, in accord with a
promise made several months ago.
In 1916 he added several Southeast
Missouri counties to the territory
which he covers, and the sales he
made for the twelve months exceeded
the best record his company ever
made.
He asked for a raise and was as
sured that it would soon be granted,
but a few days ago ne received q let
ter which he fears spells disaster for
him. The letter had to do with clerk
who made request for boost in
salary. The story follows:
"a Jewish clerk asked his employer
for an increase in salary. The en-
ployer answered:
"'You admit there are only 365 days
in year You work only hours a
day, therefore there are 16 hours a
day in which you do. not work. This
amounts to 244 days year, leaving
121 days. There are So Sundays,
leaving 50 days. You work only half
a day on Saturday, amounting to 26
days, leaving 43 days.
"'You take hour >each day for
lunch, making 16 days, leaving 81.
You take two weeks vacation with pay,
amounting to IA days, leaving 13 days.
There are u legal holidays, leaving
day, and that day being Jewish Day
of Atonement, you do not come to
work.
After reading the communication he
crossed his fingers and expectorated
through his teeth, hoping that any
Course" that may have been visited
upon him would be dispelled.

STORK> is RESPONSIBLE FOR
NEW YORK CENTRAL WRECK

Cleveland, O., March ga sleepy
tower man is to blame for the AM
herst wreck, the general superinten-
dent of the New York Central decided
late today. It is said that the tower
mans wife gave birth to a child Sun
day night and that the tower man had
been without sleep most of the time.
Herbert Hess, engineer of the sec
ond section of No. sc, states that he
did not see the red signal before he
struck the first section. But imme-
diately on freeing himself from his
cab, after the crash, he walked back.
The red light, Hess said, was set
against him.
A. H. Ernst, the Amherst tower
man, said the wreck was due to a
hitch in the block signal system, either
a cross connection or a broken circuit.
There had been trouble with the
signals two weeks ago" said Ernst.
81 was not asleep and / had my sig
nails straight. The fault is with the
mechanism, if Engineer Hess saw the
signal clear, as he says. Track repairs
made a few days ago may have inI-
paired the signal mechanism"

MRS. CAHILL RECAINS.
Her LOST VOICE
Though Silent in Tete.a-Tete,
Could Make Self Heard
Over Telephone.

Mrs. G. E. Cahill, who lost her voice
completely several days ago while in
the midst of an animated conversation
at party, is regaining her power of
speech and yesterday was able to talk
with voice of almost her natural and
normal tone.
Mrs. Cahill, who is the wife of Man.
ager Cahill of the express company
has been able, to make people hear
her almost perfectly over the tele-
phone, although in her presence she
has been forced to speak in a whisper
audible only within circle of few
feet radius from her.
1t is believed by the physicians who
attended Mrs. Cahill that she suffered
a unique case of temporary paralysis
of the vocal cords in her throat. The
muscles refused to function properly
and she has lived through a period
during which the muscles have been
allowed to return to their natural
condition.
Mrs. Cahill has been employed as a
bookkeeper and secretary at the offices
of the Meyer-Albert wholesale grocery
and she and her husband reside at as
South Spanish street.
Several days ago while attending a
party made up of women members of
her church, she was seized with the
attack. She had suffered with severe
cold for several days before.
The disappearance of her voice was
complete. Mrs. Cahill first believed it
was due to an extremely bad case of
frog in the throat" as a consequence
of her cold. The next day her speaker
did not come back and she considered
a study Of the sign language.
A few days after she first lost her
ability to hold conversation she man.
aged to articulate whisper. 1t would
carry only few feet in room but
was translated into very presentable
speech over the telephone.
She returned to her work and al
the offices of the grocery company her
whispered conversation has elected
stentorian tones by contrast from her
auditors whose extra lung power init
mated a paralysis of her hearing as
well.

soon will make an inquiry concerning
the reasons for the delay.
After being changed in accordance
with the desires of France, the British
draft of the reply was again sub
mitted to the French Cabinet and did
not prove wholly satisfactory, one
point in particular leading to some
disagreement.
However, it is believed a satisfac-
tory adjustment of the views of the
two nations has been reached and that
the note is now complete.
1t is known now that no concession
leading to declaration of an actual
blockade is made in the note, which
reiterates the principles set forth in
orders in council and defends their
application. In regard to the actual
administration of these orders. how
ever, some moderations are granted.
These concessions are believed to be
the result of suggestions made by the
French government.
The note will be signed onlv by
Foreign Secretary Grey, but para
graph will be included stating that the
French government was consulted be-
fore the reply was forwarded.

CRAPS SHOOTERS ESCAPE.
"Duck" Through Theater in Haarig to
Get Away from Groce. 7

A group of five negro boys warily
looked up a half minute too soon yes
terday afternoon and frustrated the
plans of Patrolman Groce of the Haa-
rig beat to arrest all of them in the
act of rolling the ''bones."
The game was in progress in the
alley in the rear of the Orpheum
theater. Groce was notified and at
tempted to approach within grabbing
distance by going through the Wiel-
puetz sheds and driveway.
Before he could get within so feet
of the group they spied him and
"ducked." Without exception they
disappeared in a cellar window under
the theater and escaped by running
through the theater. Groce recognized
two of the boys.

NEGRO FINDS" EGGS
and LOSES HIS JOB
Reveals "Nest" to Art Wielpuetz
Who Finds Case of 80
Dozen in Coal Bin.

Rudi Williams, well-known negro
porter, yesterday discovered" such a
profitable hens nest at the Wielpuetz
bakery that it caused him to lose his
position as porter at the bakery in
Haarig.
Williams showed Art Wielpuetz a
hens nest behind bale of hay in
the Wielpuetz barn that produced 10
dozen eggs. Williams had appropri-
ated the product of the remarkable
nest to his own use, and Wielpuetz
determined that such a nest well could
devote it's product to the bake shop
where eggs are in demand, and
promptly allowed Williams to look for
another position.
The nest was turned up yesterday
morning when Wielpuetz saw Will
liams walk through the bakery with a
large basket on his arm.
What have you got there, Rudi ?"
Wielpuetz inquired.
"Old Clothes" Williams replied.
81 forgot a shirt, guess l better go
back and fetch it" He forthwith
made his way to the barn, where he
had fitted out janitor and porter's
office.
Wielpuetz followed him and insisted
that he be allowed to see the clothes
and anything else that might be con-
tanned in the basket. Despite Will
Hams exposure of the clothing piled
in at the top, Wielpuetz rummaged
through and uncovered the eggs.
They counted out 10 dozen.
"Where did you get these, Rudi ?"
"Waal, sab, ah foun' them in nestes
aroun' hyere," the janitor remarked.
"Show me the nests" Wielpuetz ex-
claimed.
Williams led him to the loft and
after kicking aside bale of hay he
declared that the space in behind had
produced the 10 dozen eggs. Will
puetz made a thorough examination
of the premises in search of other
nests and found in one of the coal bins
at the bakery 30-dozen case of e.
that had but 10 dozen removed and
which had been checked missing in the
commissariat.

BLAKEMORE FOR SENATOR.
Former Kennett Banker is Nominated
by Democrats of Arkansas.

J. B. Blakemore, former banker
at Kennett, Mo-, but now living in
Piggott, Ark, was yesterday nomin-
ated for State Senator by the Demo-
cratic party. The nomination in that
district is equivalent to election, as
the district is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic.
Mr.. Blakemore, who is well known
in Cape Girardeau, was for almost
twenty years influential in the coun-
ellis of the Democratic party in South
east Missouri, and especially Dunklin
county. He is the father of William
Blakemore of Poplar Bluff, who trav-
els over Southeast Missouri for a
tobacco company.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune.
Washington, March 29.-Gen. Car
ranza has agreed to permit the move
ment of supplies to the expedition in
Mexico over the Mexican Northwest
ern Railroad. TIE supplies will go as
commercial freight to concerns in
Mexico with which the army has
contracts.
The. permission for use of the rail-
road is not granted in a military
sense and does not cover the move
ment of troops for which the Ameri-
can army has not asked 1t will. how
ever, enable Gen. Pershing's force to
get supplies in abundance in a country
where motor truck trains cannot carry
them and will thus aid immeasureably
in the pursuit of the Villa bandits.
Whether the management of the
railroad will move the army supplies
on special schedules is not known.
Failure to get free hand in the
transportation might delay the arrival
of consignments at Casss Grandes, it
is feared.
Scores of American railroad men
have offered their services as track
men and tFainmen.

HIGH WATER DUE
MONDAY; TO HIT
EAST SIDE FARMS
Capt. Jaynes Says Red Tape
Hindered Repair of Gap
in Dixie at Gale.
RIVER WILL REACH
26 TO 2S-FOOT STAGE
Opening Made To Drain January
Flood Water Never Has
Been Closed.

With the river rising at the rate of
more than a foot every six hours and
stage of 26 to % feet in sight by
Monday, several hundred acres of rich
farming land on the East Side again
are in danger of being inundated by
flood waters, according to announce
ment made last night by Captain Al
Jaynes.
The land on the East Side will be
flooded through a gap left in the dixie
about four or five miles south of East
Cape, near Gale. The gap was cut
at the close of the January flood in
order to drain out the water that in
undated the entire East Side.
"On account Of so much red tape
that We have to go through before we
can repair the dikes on the East Side,"
Captain Jaynes declared, eve have
just gotten ready to fix that gap. 1t
is too late now. 1t would do no good
to start work, because it is probable
that the high water coming would take
the men half way with their work
and wipe out all that they do.
''The gap has stayed there since the
January flood simply because the law
did not permit us to make the neces-
sary assessments to pay for the repair
work. We finally got that done and
just had arranged to have the work
done by Billy Woods, when the high
water strikes.
at requires stage of but "a feet
to go through that dixie the way it is
now, and l believe that the stage we
will have by the first part of the
week will put water over large por-
ton of the land. Flood stage of the
river at 80 feet will cause it to back
up in approximately the same manner
as it did in January.
"If we do not have any water from
additional rains between here and st.
Louis, | believe we shall have crest
of from 26 to % feet by Monday. The
water is in the river and on the way
down.
"The situation in the Ohio river,
however, cOmplicates the flood here;
for the Ohio is coming up fast and
that food will require at least five
days to empty out. We will have to
wait and see what the two together
do here at the Cape"
Captain Jaynes declared that a $50
o'clock yesterday morning when he
went to work, the river was around 20
feet on the stage, and at l o'clock in
the afternoon it had come up 1.3 feet.
Last night it had continued to rise
at approximately the same rate. The
river likewise was filled with ice.
Captain Jaynes owns considerable
of the farming land that is endanger-
ed by the water on the East Side, and
other Cape Girardeauans have large
holdings there.
The Captain last night expressed as
his opinion that the water would
remain on the fields but short time
and would not result in great damage.
Most of the acreage is used for corn
raising and no crop has been put in
at this time. Alfalfa fields would not
suffer greatly either, he said.
