Inc CapeS Snoe Factory pcoposltlon
will be revived by the Commercial
Club next week when the Shoe Factory
Committee will meet Tuesday after
noon at the Commercial Club rooms to
devise ways and means of raising the
money with which to build a proposed
addition to the present factory.
The announcements of the commit
tee meeting was made by President
Sam NJ. Carter last night at the reg
ular monthly meeting of the club,
when he asked the business men and
public officials of the Cape to contrib
ute ideas on how the money may be
raised.
"Put your notions in writing" Mr..
Carter urged, "and present them to the
committee. Then we can classify
ideas and get a definite line on this
natter that is before US.
at is not a matter of knowing
whether we want to try to raise this
money. But it is a question of learn
ing how we can best go about it to
raise the money, who can we expect to
go about and do the actual work of
getting the money"
The members of the committee to
whom the money-raising ideas should
be submitted are Mr.. Carter chairman,
ex officio, w. F. Bergman, John L..
Miller, c. w. Stehr, r. E. L. Lam
kin.
The club last night passed a reso-
luton authorizing the Executive Com
nittee to conduct negotiations with NJ.
E. Leming, seeking to induce him to
bring his Rombauer mill to the Cape.
Mr.. Leming has signifed a willingness
to make the change, provided the
proper adjustments may be made sue
cessfully.
Charles L. Harrison announced that
Attorney l. R. Kelso was going to push
the matter of return to the 60-cent
coal rate vigorously as soon as the
railroad is out of its receivership.
President Carter announced that in
response to demand growing strong
N the Cape, he will call special
meeting of the club to be held in about
wo weeks when a general review of
the clubs activities will be taken in
the nature of an Inventory of club
jobs"
After A. H Hinchey, secretary of
the Federated Missouri Commercial
Clubs, had explained proposed state
wide, social, commercial and agricul-
tural survey, the club voted to CO.
operate with the federation officials in
starting the survey in Cape County.
President Carter appointed COM
mittee of D. NJ. ScivalFy, Seth Bah
cock and E. w. Flentge to give the
survey special attention and work in
conjunction with the officials Of the
federation to obtain the information
that is to be collected.
Similar Investigations will be made
in all the 113 counties in the state by
the federation, Cape Girardeau County
being used as model. Following Mr.
Hinchey's visit to Washington next
week, he will return to the Cape when
a special meeting will be held and Mr..
Hinchey will explain details of the
proposed survey.

CRAMER REFUSES
TO BE CANDIDATE
FOR CAPE COURT
Jackson Attorney tells friends
He Cannot Accept $4,000
Position.
ALEXANDER MAY BE
NOMINATED FOR POST
Democratic County Committee
Will Meet in Jackson For
Caucus Today.

The Democratic County Committee
will meet in Jackson today to devise a
means for placing a candidate in the
field for judge of the Court of Common
Please, to succeed the late Robert G.
Ranney.
Chairman Kinder said last night
that he did not know whether the
Committee would merely indorse a
man for the place or call county
convention at which the Democratic
nominee would be chosen.
In either event, it is said, Harry E.
Alexander will get the nomination.
Thomas J. Juden, the main prop in the
Democratic party of this county, is a
strong frined of Mr.. Alexander, and it
is said he has eliminated all other as
pirantS.
Judge Wilson Cramer, whom the Re-
publicans have agreed to nominate at
their convention next Saturday, vii!
not make the race, he has told leaders
Of his party. His reason for declining
the place, he informed his friends, is
the small salary. He could not afford
to give up his practice, he stated, to
accept the place, which only pays
$4,000 a year.
If Judge Cramer becomes a candi-
date at all this year, he stated, it will
be for Judge of the st. Louis Court of
Appeals. But he has not announced
himself for any office yet.
Of the available timber in the Re-
publican party, with Judge Cramer eli
minated, it is believed Judge John A.
Snider of Jackson is favored by Re-
publican leaders. He has privately in
formed his friends that he would ac-
cept the nomination. Judge Doris and
Orren Wilson have erected their light
ing rods and are waiting for strike.
81 am available timber" remarked
Judge Doris yesterday. II am real
candidate" said Judge Wilson. "There
are said to be Republicans who would
not be adverse to accepting the NOM
ination, if it is rendered to them, but
1 wish you would just say that Orren
Wilson is q candidate and wants the
job l believe 1 have the bulge on the
situation, but I am not claiming to
have the proposition sewed up. That
salary is large enough for the job and
it looks good to me. Just tell the folks
that l would like the place"
The Republicans will hold precinct
meetings over the county tomorrow at
which they will choose delegates to the
convention, which meets in Jackson
one week from tomorrow.
Chairman Kinder of the Democratic
committee believes that the law re-
curing candidates to file for nomina-
ton will annul any nomination that
either of the parties may make, but
lawyers do not take the contention Sc
riously.

dent And A. III. Mueller
V. p. Is Report.
CAPITAL STOCK TO
BE INCREASED SOON
$4,000, Present Capital Will Be
Raised to S50,000-Home
Downtown.

Lie cape IAChdHSC Ddikh1 HhiSh
was incorporated several months ago,
was formally organized at a meeting
held in the offices of the Dempsey
Grocery Company, last night. Fol-
lowing the conference, Judge William
B. Schaefer announced that the SIS 900
capital stock had been overscribed, and
that the amount would be increased to
$4,000 within a short time.
The directors of the new institution,
are: William B., Schaefer, David B.
Smith, Al H. Mueller, Charles H. Over
stoz and A. r. Zoelsman. The officers
Of the bank were not selected, Judge
Schaefer stated, but he probably will
be the President and A. H. Mueller,
Vice President. The cashier, whose
identity could not be ascertained, viii
be named by Mr.. Schaefer. He stated
that one of the best known bankers in
the county was being considered for
the place, but that no choice had &C
tually been made.
The question of location was discuss
ed at length last night, but no de-
cision reached. The stockholders,
which are composed of merchants in
this city and farmers, will meet with
the directors Wednesday evening, at
which time the location will be decid-
| ed.
1t is understood that Judge Edward
D. Hays will be made the banks at
torney at the meeting tomorrow even
ing.
''The bank will be Independent and
will be controlled by no man or fac
tion," said Judge Schaefer. "Our OBJ
ject will be to make it a bank for ev-
orybody. We have purchased the fix
ures and furniture and will be ready
for business not later than March
/.
ave have an excellent set of stock
| elders. Some of the wealthiest and
lost influential farmers in the county
ave taken stock and are willing to
take more. A number of the best
business men in this city are among
n list of stockholders. We are pre-
pared to increase the capital stock to
$4,000 without adding to our present
list of stockholders.
"In my canvass among the business
men of this city and the men in the
county, never found one who turned
the proposition down. Everyone came
n without persuasion, and expressed
/ willingness to take more stock than
we had for SALE"
When asked whether the bank would
be located on Main street, he declined
say. THAT is a matter that will
De left to the whole board and the
stockholders next Wednesday night"
he said.
According to a report that has been
current on the street for several days,
the bank will probably locate on North
Main street, just few doors from the
First National Bank. The property
IS owned by Mrs. Lee Cairns Albert
Judge Schaefer said this site had been
only discussed and that no action had
been taken.
"When the stockholders make a
choice, we shall be glad to announce
it," he said. "You know this is going
TO be bank in which everyone Of its
stockholders will have something to
say. We have gone over some Of the
matters, of course, but we have moth
ing to announce concerning the loca-

Water, Callapses From
Jar of Explosion. 8

charge Of dynamite, used to dislodge
an abutment of the Hog Creek bridge
on the Jackson Marble Hill road,
wrecked the structure when it explod-
ed, burying one of the workmen in the
debris and throwing both into the wa
tiers of the stream.
The explosion and accident occurred
last Friday afternoon and the story of
the wreck reached the Cape yesterday
when business men from Oak Ridge
came here. The injuries to the men
were not serious. The escape Of
Charles Tate, who was buried be-
meath the debris for time, was con-
sidered miraculous.
The bridge which is on the road from
Jackson to Marble Hill spanning the
creek at place about on the line be-
tween Cape and Bollinger Counties,
is one of the largest in that County.
The recent high water that passed
down the creek damaged the abutment
on the side nearest Marble Hill to such
an extent that an entirely new abut-
ment had to be placed.
The greater part of the abutment
was carried away by the water and a
stump was remaining that had to be
removed in order to place the new
abutment.
The repair work was being done by
R R. Bedwell and Co., Bridge builders
of Oak Ridge, who have made virtual
ly all the bridges in that part of the
county and in Cape County. Bedweil
and his crew of several men were do
ing the work when the accident oc-
Cured.
They had lifted the end of the span
from the place it had lodged and had
it braced up SO that the new abutment
could be put in place. The span of
the bridge is made of steel with con-
crete flooring.
In order to remove the remainder Of
he old abutment, a charge of dyna-
mite was placed beneath it and explod-
ed. The dynamite charge was consid-
cred only sufficient to move the abut-
aent. Chester Morrison was standing
on the floor of the bridge near the end
rhen the explosion was to take place
when the charge was touched off, and
Tate was standing beneath the corner
Of the floor within a few feet of the
dynamite.
When the dynamite was set off, it
tore the abutment out Of the ground,
and lifted the floor Of the bridge into
The cir, throwing it off its bracing
abutments at both ends and plunged it
into the bed of the creek.
The floor of the bridge was carried
over Tate's head and when it went to
the bottom of the creek, he was car
ried with it. Morrison went down
with the floor and was caught in the
water of the creek which still was at
comparatively high stage.
Morrison escaped almost imme-
diately, but for several moments,
Tate had disappeared from the view
Of his fellow workmen. They rushed
to the place where he had disappear
ed and began working in an attempt
to rescue him. After a few minutes,
Tate. crawled out from the side of the
flooring.
The steel Orders and beams in the
bridge were bent and arched out Of
shape and it became necessary to re-
move them from the floor in order to
make the proper repairs. The entire
bridge will virtually have to be rebuilt,
it is said.

NATIONAL LEAGUE REMNANT TO
STAY IN THE EAST
BY Mark Shields.

BY Mark Shields.
Some years ago Horace Greeley,
looking over the effete east and its
possibilities, advised the young men
OF that section to go west. Since
that time several bank cashiers have
gone SOUTH" but the New York
Giant baseball club remembered the
advice Of the famous editor and de-
cided to take a whirl at it.
In the east this spring the Giants
played Is games against Brooklyn,
Phillies and Braves and their CLEAN
ings were two victories and Is de-
feats, which made the McGrawites
the wOrst-lOChng tailenders who had
dispOrted in any big league for Sc
Veral seasons.
Then the schedule of the National
league directed the steps of the
ants toward the west, and they
Immediately improved their Oppor-
tunities. Four straight victories
were registered in Pittsburgh, and
the two games against the Cubs have
also been won by the fasteners.
They batted stOutly when their pitch
ing was weak, and the pitchers were
effective guys when the opposition
hurlers had an abundance of battle
stuff.
How the Giants ever lost 10 out of
Is games is a mystery that has only
one explanation. The east must be
a powerful lot stronger than the
western half of the Tener circuit,
and again it looks like a pennant for
the SeabOard.
Both games against the Cubs have
resulted in close scores, yet the
Giants have won in comparative
ease, seeming to hold the balance of
power with the ability to employ it
whenever the lines frightened. Tes-
reau is pitching good ball, Peuitt has
turned in two successive games that
were encouraging to New Workers,
