lNTERVENOR Wins
$246O. {. C. N. CLAIM
Courts Grant Of Claim Payes
Way For Others-Woman
Gets $500.

An intervenor's claim for S2460.35
yesterday was allowed by Judge John
A. Snider against the Cape Girardeau
G. Northern Railroad on q suit brought
against the road by l.. w. Brand, re-
caiver for the Hart Williams Coal Co.
of Illinois.
The grant of the claim was prece-
dental in character and paved the way
for the trial of several other interven-
ing cases against the road, some of
which may be allowed by the court.
When the c. G. & n. railroad went
into the hands Of q receiver, the re-
ceiver was named by the Common
Pleas court and thereafter all claims
against the road had to be presented
through the Common Pleas court.
These claims became known as in
tclvenOr claims in the case of the st
Louis Union Trust Co. against the {
G. & N, the title of the suit under
which the road went into receivership
Some time ago the late Judge Ran
ney Of the Common Pleas court named
February 22, 1915, as the last date
upon which all such claims should b.
filed against the road. Several claims
were filed subsequent to that date
however, and th,ir trial has been de-
layed till yesterday, when the Hart
Williams Coal Co. went to trial on its
claim.
1t was essential that a good reason
be shown why the claim should no.
have been made prior to the closing
date. The intervenor yesterday was
represented by r. l.. Dearmont.
Arrangements will be made for tho
payment of the claim in receivers
certificates of the c. G. & n, which
will be cashed when the roads fnan-
ccs are paid out and constitute prior
lien against the roads property.
Following the decision of Judge Sni-
der to allow the intervenor claim
against the road, he also allowed the
$500 claim of Helen 3. NcEndreC
against the road. Mrs. McEndrce was
injured several months ago, while the
road was being operated by the receiv-
er. She had some ribs fractured. Ar
engagements were made for the dan
ages to be split between the c. C. & y
and the Frisco.

RETAILERS GIVE
SIS TO PRIZE FUND
Assn. Votes To Aid Scheme For
Beautiful Lawns and Gar
dens In Cape.

On the heels of an announcement in
The Tribune that the women who COM
pose the Civic Improvement Associa-
ton plan to make the city beautiful
through offering 500 in prizes for the
prettiest lawns or gardens, the Retail
Merchants Association last night I'M
animously voted to aid the movement
with donation of $25 to the prize
fund.
The announcement was made at the
close of the retailers meeting in the
Commercial Club rooms, BY Secretary
w. w. Hinchey.
"The members Of the association be-
ieve that the scheme to create beau
tiful lawns and gardens in the Cape
is worthy one, and they are going to
aid it with their money" Mr. Hinchey
said. "The work Of Cape gardeners
and lawn experts already has trans
formed the city into beautiful rows of
homes, and l see no reason why the
present scheme cannot make this city
the most beautiful in Southeast Mis-
souri,"
The scheme projected by Mrs. J. P.
Meyers and Mrs. r. H. Schultz, of the
Civic Improvement Association, con-
templates four prizes of S25 each. The
campaign for pretty yards will COM
mence as soon as blossom time is here.
One of the prizes will go to the child
who has the prettiest garden, another
to the man, the third to the woman
and the fourth to the servant in any
private residence who wins one of the
first prizes.
The merchants last night also dis
cussed plans for aiding the library
fund. Sam Sherman made a report
on the library and he likewise was
made chairman of committee to lool,
after the associations spring advertis-
ing work.

PARK STATUE HAS
HIS FACE WASHED
Contractor Will Polish Warriors
Features With Fresh Coat
Of Paint.

Contractor Herman Loeffcl yester.
day began the repair work upon tho
bronze statue Of the Union soldier
that stands in the center of the foun-
tain on North Lorimier street in tn
Courthouse Park.
The soldier has been removed frCn
his position on top of the fountain and
before being replaced, his features, I'M
washed for almost whole year ,ex-
cept by the rain water, will be cleaned
as we'll as the entire body of the
bronze statue
The statue was erected in the Court
house Park about three years ago at
an outlay of about $500 by the mem
bers of the Woman's Relief Corps OF
Post No. 173 of the G. A.. K. The City
undertook to keep the figure in re-
pair and each year since its erection,
the City has had the figure painted.
The water fo~ the fountain is fur
nished free by the Public Utilitios
Company. 1t is the only water sup
ply in the city for which there is no
charge, the Mayor remarked last
night.
Last fall, the fountain gave troubln
and did not operate correctly. The
water column is conducted to the top
of the soldier figure, but if refused TO
work.
This winter when the water was
shut off in the fountain, the Council
authorized the Mayor to employ Con-
tractor Loeffel to make an examination
of the fountain to determine what it
needs.
After the soldier was removed from
the top part of the structure, it was
learned that the pipes have been bro
ken from top to bottom and entirely
new plumbing will now be essential in
order to restore the park adornment TO
its original shape.

SENDS 100000 SUIT
TO CIRCUIT COURT
Judge Snider Refuses To Hear
Bridge Injunction Case
Argued.

For the second time Judge John A.
Snider in the Common Pleas court dis
qualified himself to try the Injunction
suit brought by the County Court
against the Little River Drainage Dis
trict, restraining the ditch digging un-
til liability for bridges is fixed, when
the case came up for trial yesterday
morning. Approximately 100000 is
involved in the suit.
The attorneys for both sides-Sena-
tor r. B. Oliver and r. B. Oliver Jr,
for the drainage district, and Judge
Edward D. Hays and J. Henry Caruth-
ers for the County Court-were pres
ent in court to try the case.
The initial thing that would be
brought up in court was the argument
Of 4 motion filed by the drainage dis
trict's attorneys to strike out part of
the petition on which the County Court
obtained its injunction order from the
late Judge R. G. Ranney, restraining
the work upon the bitches tapping
Cape Girardeau county roads.
Both sides announced they were
ready for trial when Judge Snider an
nounced from the bench his second de-
cision not to preside in the trial of the
case. Judge Snider last Friday dis
qualified himself, giving as his reason
that he had been retained about three
years ago for the County Court and
for the county highway engineer, at
which time he advised them concern
ing the liability for the bridges over
the drainage bitches.
Yesterday morning he announced
that in addition to that reason he
wished to urge that he had his mind
virtually made up in the case, and be-
cause of the fact that he owns and
controls considerable property in Cape
county he wished to Withdraw as Judge
in the suit.
When he first had disqualified him.
self, the attorneys for both sides stir
ulated that he try the case despite his
former connection with it. Yesterday
after he had withdrawn from the case
again, the names of several attorneys
were suggested before whom the case
might be tried.
Judge Hays selected Wilson Cramer
as a trial Judge, but Mr.. Cramer re-
fused to sit in the case and subse-
quently Judge Snider sent the case to
the Circuit Court for trial, where it
will come up at the April term of
court.
The compromise proposition, where
by the injunction may be Professionally
raised, has not been settled between
the attorneys for the drainage district
and the County Court.

MAN IS ARRESTED
AS WINDOW PEPPER
Was Trying To Force Door of

Found By Police.

A man who gave his name to the
police as Aud Smith, last night was
arrested as he was attempting to force
the front door of the home of Mrs. NJ.
Randol, 10 North Spanish street, by
whom he was accused to being a Win
dow pepper.
The man was locked up for the night
at the city Jail by Patrolman Ed Beeve
and refused to give an explanation for
his actions. An investigation on Span
ish street in the vicinity of Mrs. Ran
dolls home revealed that he had tried
to open the doors of several other
residences on South Spanish street, be-
fore going to the Randol home, and
several residents were alarmed by the
mans actions.
At the Jail Smith said that he came
to the Cape from Ration Pass, New
Mexico. He is a railroad brakeman he
said.
When he first learned that the mar
had caused alarm on Spanish street
Beeve went there in search of him. He
found him near Broadway and Span
ish and ordered him to leave that part
of town. The man started down the
railroad tracks and a short time later
Beeve was summoned by second call
from Mrs. Randol.
He came out on Spanish street near
the Randol place and heard the man
at the door of the Randol home, he
said. Someone inside called to the
stranger to leave. whereupon Officer
Beeve arrested him.
