SUGGEST OFFICER
TO POLICE PARK
Residents in Vicinity Of Rand Park
Say it Would be Much More De-
srabIe Could Special Man
be on Duty.
LIGHTS WOULD HELP TOO
Suggestion Has Been Made That Ad
ditional illumination Would
Help in Keeping
Order.
LIGHTS WOULD HELP TOO

The need for a policeman in Rand
park both during the daytime and at
night is very great. according to
people who pass through that vicinity,
or who live near there. Several in
stances have been reported lately of
little children who are playing in the
park, having obscene remarks made
to them by older boys and men, and
there are several places in the park
where idlers are said to hang out, and
which it is felt are dangerous for
women and girls to pass by.
The park is a very desirable play
ground for the children, and is a most
inviting spot for anyone during the
summer days. But because Of some
things. which people in that vicinity
state have occurred. it is felt that
much more desirable and safe spot
could be made of the grounds if they
were policed.
There is an old outbuilding in the
lower part of the park, no longer in
use, but which is open and in which
men have been seen to loiter and to
women are passing either through the
park or along the street at the side,
to attract their attention.
1t is felt that several additional arc
lights. or strings of incandescents at
certain points in the park would be
a safeguard at night. Members Of
some of the local organizations have
already suggested having the big
yard lighted in several places. This
would do away with some of the van
dalism which has recently been re-
ported in connection with the Birge
fountain.

YOUNG WIFE OF
OLD RICH MAN
Mrs. Matters Was Very Anxious for
Baby to Inherit her Hus-
bands Fortune.

CHICAGO, May 11.--That Mrs.
Anna Dollie Ledgerwood Matters, &C
cused of foisting a spurious heir IN
the estate Of her husband, the late
Frederick Matters, Arcola, ILL.,, NOV
ing picture magnate, was so anxious
for baby that she sought the aid of
science to produce a child by artificial
means was the testimony of train
ed nurse in Mrs. Matters trial today.
Miss Anna Milbraith, who said she
attended at the bedside of Mrs. Mat
tiers at the Mercy hospital, Chicago,
in 1914, before Matters, who was
nearly fifty years his wife's senior,
died, was the witness.
Mrs. Matters hoped to submit to
an unusual operation" said Miss Mil
braith, but I understood it was I'M
successful"
Miss Milbraith told of frequent
visits to the hospital by Charles
Mellon, a detective, with whom Mrs.
Matters, the state alleges, was In
love.
Miss Mary Freeman, a maid In the
uuent visitor there in August, 1914.
Mrs Maud Lloyd, a niece of Fred
erick Matters, testified to the same
effect.
On cross examination Miss MIL
braith admitted that Mrs. Matters
had accused her of stealing some
personal letters. but had later apol-
ogized. Since that time their rela-
lions had been very unfriendly.
"The letters were kept in her desk
in her bedroom. When she returned
from a shopping tour one day, they
were missing. She said that l was
trying to blackmall her, and said that
she. would have me trailed by detec-
tives,'' said the witness.
Miss Milbrafth detailed many in
in which Mellon called on
Mrs. Matters in Chicago and said
the detective and Mrs. Matters "smok-
ed cigarets and kissed between
puffs.''

send the First cavalry, Illinois nation
al guard, Of Chicago, to the border.
This regiment, Funston was informed.

for duty. Shortage of cavalrymen for
border duty led Funston previously
to ask the war department for permits

of the expeditionary line beyond Col

move is under way at Funston's order
The general has decided not to visit
the Columbus base at this time. but
will go direct to San Antonio as soon
as General Scott releases him from
active connection with the interna-

Official advices received here today
stated that the horses Of the Glenn
Springs raiders are in bad shape and
making slow progress in the flight TO

not expect the Marathon expedition
to catch the raiders unless heavily
burdened with loot. In that event, he
believed the commands Of Colonel
