sues TO RECOVER
WOMAN'S PROPERTY
Poplar Bluff Case Come To Cane
Court On Change Of
Venue.

Suits to have the transfer of q But
Ter County farm worth $4,000 and Il
recover on a note for $1,lS3.S8 yester
day were fled in the Common Plea:
Court against T. n Caldwell of Pop
lar Bluff, by a. w. Greer, guardian
/ for Mary NJ. Patty, who has been adj
judged CT unsound mind by the Circuit
Court in Butler County.
The suits were brought to the Cape
Girardeau Common Pleas Court on {
change of venue and they attracted
wide attention in Butler County at the
time they first were filed.
The Patty woman on June 80, last
vas adiudged of an unsound mind and
Greer, the public administrator was
appointed guardian to look after hel
affairs.
! On May 26, last, the defendant, Mr.
Caldwell, had the Patty woman deed
her farm to him, according to the pc
tition, and the deed was filed June g.
After that Caldwell executed lease to
the woman whereupon she continued
to live on her farm.
In the petition which Mr. Greer
| makes to the court TO have the deed
set aside, he declares that Mr.. Cald-
well exercises an "undue and uncanny
influence over the mind" of the Patty
woman, and asserted that the defend
ant made her believe she was greatly
indebted to him for imaginary services
rendered; and that he was entitled to
all of her property and that her rela-
tives who would naturally be most in
terested in her welfare, were her worst
enemies"
When the petition first was filed,
an answer was filed in October II, last,
in which the defendant denied all the
allegations made in the petition.
In the second suit, the woman's
guardian asks recovery on a note
which is offered in evidence, which pur-
ports in the petition to have been made
to her by Caldwell on June 7, 1913.
Mr.. Caldwell also is sued for 81 800
for produce that he is alleged to have
removed from the Patty farm in the
last five years. Greer also asks an ac-
counting of Caidwell's transactions
with reference to the Patty farm. In
his reply to this suit, the defendant
declared there was no equity in the
petition.
The change of venue was taken on
the petition of Caldwell.

GRADE CROSSINGS
Investigation Started to End
Railway Crossing Accidents
MANY AUTOMOBILE WRECKS
The Big Problem Before State Rail-
way Commission 10 To Devise
Plan That Will Result In Max
Ing Grade Crossings Safe.

Des Moines.--With the alarming in
crease in automobile accidents at
railroad crossings the state railroad
commission has turned its attention
to the grade crossing.
Many requests are coming to the
board from ell parts of the state ask
ing that crossings be done away with.
"This is the biggest problem before
the railroads today" said one MEM
Der of the board of railroad commits
sioners. ut is bigger question now
than that of rates. 1t has been esti-
mated that It will cost ON an average
of from $4,000 to $4,000 per cross
ing to put In subways or overhead
crossings. This, the railroads, say, Is
~ much as it costs to build their
lines in the first place out through
Iowa."
II ia not only problem in Iowa but
IN other states. The California board
of railroad commissioners recently
made tour of that state and investf-
gated the grade crossing subject. The
commissioners interviewed citizens or
all classes including railroad officials
and employees. As the results Of their
investigation they estimated the cost
of changing the grade crossings to.
either subways or overhead crossings.
It was found this would average 500
600 per crossing.
New Jersey has passed law re-
curing all railroads to change one
grade crossing per year for thirty
years. Either overhead crossings or
subways must be substituted.
It has been suggested that here In
Iowa a slight change In the course or
country road will often eliminate
crossings. That the state highway
commission be empowered to do this
has also been suggested inasmuch as
local boards of supervisors would be-
come embroiled IN neighborhoo6
squabbles m many instances II any
changes in roads were proposed.
