AUTO 0vERTURNS;
DRIVER ESCAPES
Car CavOrts on Pacific Street and
Rams Terrace-WiHer
Car Hits Tree.

Two automobile accidents occurred
yesterday in the Cape when, in each
case, the steering gear of the cars be-
came disordered and on its failure to
work carried them over the curbs and
IN one accident the machine was COM
pletely upset.
W. J. Webb of Parma was the own
er OF the machine that cavorted over
the sidewalk and was stopped only
when the terrace that it attempted
to climb, proved too much and the
car almost turned turtle.
The accident occurred on South Pa
citic street opposite the GeIven green
houses, when the driver of the machine
lost control and it darted for the curb
1t struck a tree and made for the te,-
race.
After the machine had been over
turned, Webb crawled out uniniured
and had his car hauled to Blacks
garage for repairs. The Tenders were
the windshield damaged and
one of the wheels damaged.
Henry R. Willer. proprietor of the
Fl. R. Willer Grocery, was driving his
delivery truck at the corner of Sprigg
and Mcrriwether streets, when the
steering apparatus broke. He collid-
ri with a tree and broke the wind
shield of his car, bent a fender and
lid other slight damage to the ma
;hine. Mr.. Willer escaped uninjured.

SUIT TO DETERMINE
Which OF 2 GIRLS
IS MANS DAUGHTER
Salt Lake Resident Declares
Wife's Wealthy Parents Sub
stituted Founding.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. Sis
1O-year old Mabel Manning of Salt
Lake in reality Phyllis Greenland,
daughter of Janics Francis Greenland,
of this city, and Is the little girl who
has been known as Phyllis Greenland
since her infancy really Mabel Man
ming, founding taken from an or
phanage in Atchison, Kan, in 1909?
This is the complex issue involved in
the suit of Greenland against John NJ.
Burkhart, wealthy mining man of
Salt Lake, and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth
Burkhart.
Greenland asks for possession of the
girl known as Mabel Manning, who is
at present member of the Burkhart
household. He alleges that she is his
daughter and that in 1911, when he
asked for custody of his child, who had
been cared for by the .Burkharts, her
grandparents, an orphan was substi-
tuted and palmed off as his daughter.
In Colorado II years ago, according
to papers in the court action, Green
land married a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Burkhart. One child was born of
the marriage-a girl. The child was
thereupon given into the keeping of its
grandparents, tn eBurkharts. Five
years ago the father asked that his
little girl be returned to him.
Meanwhile Mrs. Daisy NJ. Black, an
other daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Burk
hart, had adopted baby girl from the
Soldiers Orphan Home at AtchisOn.

FISH CAUGHT An RAT TRAP
missouri Boys Make pa Hsub Rssu-
iarly Ever Since Discovery Of
innovation.

Cape Gfrardeau, MO.-How q rat
trap-one of the large, old-fashioned,
wire-mesh kind with room enough for
dozen rodents-was converted into
a fish trap Is told by C. III. Maevers,
mayor of Egypt Mills.
Several days ago, Luke Funk, while
doing a housekeeping stunt at, the
home Of Avis Ritter. threw away a
large rat trap. He tossed IT over the
fence and forgot about it.
Ritter lives near the Flora creek.
The trap landed on the bank, and re-
Gently when the high water struck
there the trap was inundated and swept
along until 1t finally landed on the
bank In the water.
A few days after the storm that
brought the creek up to flood level had
passed, the sons Of Samuel Young,
while playing along the creek, came
upon the rat trap. They hauled II
out of the water and found it filled
with fish. There were large catfish,
and there were so many in the trap
that they scarcely had. room to wrig.
gle around.
They were caught like rats in trap.
The boys took the idea in hand and
began batting the trap. The cage
works just as we'll for fish as for rats,
for they have been making big hauls
regularly ever since their discovery of
the innovation.

ALEXANDER GOES
TO WATCH COUNT
Dunklin County Poll Strikes Cape
Candidate "Funney"-
is Beaten.

With his nomination for the State
Senate hanging on his ability to pile
up an unexpectedly large plurality in
Wayne County, Harry E. Alexander
early this morning departed for Ken
nett to be present today at the official
count of the votes in that county.
The first and unofficial returns in
Dunklin County give o. S. Harrison of
Kenneth, a vote of 2OS5, according to
information that Alexander obtained
yesterday. Alexander got 303 votes
in Dunklin County on the complete
vote, according to the unofficial count
and Senator C. p Hawkins got approx
imately 500.
Alexander last night said that he
will go to Kennctt because he wants
to "sce what is going on"
1T seems like there's something
funny to me-" he declared. 81 know
positively from the early unofficial
count that was made that two pre-
clncts gave me 1876 votes down there.
| cant understand how the whole thing
seemed to have the bottom drop out
and ! am going to sec if there's mis-
take"
Alexander last night declared that
to the best of his knowledge, he and
Harrison were about so votes apart
with the balance in favor of Harrison.
He entered Dunkl"l County with a
plurality from the other six counties
in the field of more than 1000.
He had not heard definitely from
Wayne County and estimated his
strength there. His plurality outside
together with the vote that has been
announced for him in Dunklin County
are not strong enough to overcome the
single vote that Harrison got in his
home county.
According to travelling men VINO
have come up to the Cape from Dunk
lin County since Tuesday and are
familiar with the political situation
there, the normal primary Democratic
vote was supplemented by voters in
the ether party ranks who voted
Democratic ticket in order to assist
Harrison.
THIS explanation of the heavy Demo
cratic primary there is substantiated
by the fact that in 1912 in the vote of
the Democratic governor, Major polled
but ZOO votes According TO figures
on the primary Tuesday, more than
BOO Democratic votes were polled.

his daughter child vas given over to
him. He now claims that it was not
his child hut the adopted orphan that
he received. He contends that his own
daughter is the girl retained by Mrs.
Black and the Burkharts and known as
Mabel Manning. Affidayits submitted
by the defense deny these allegations
and aver that Greenland's own daugh-
ter was returned to him in 1911.
Under habeas corpus proceedings,
Greenland a short time ago required
the Burkharts to bring the little girl
before Judge NJ. l.. Richie of the
Third District Court of Utah, Salt
Lake City. In the last few days de-
positions have been taken in Atchison
and other cities in Kansas and within
a week, it is expected, hearing of the
case will be resumed in the Utah court.
The hearing mad been set for July
q, but on that date the defendants
presented a demand that Greenland
defray the expenses of the litigation.
To this Greenland had not made an
swer up to July &c. Mrs. Black is now
in Atchison in connection with the
case.
The Burkharts say they have not
seen Phyllis Greenland, their grand
daughter, since they gave her back to
her father. They understood, they
said, that she was being cared for by
Greenland's sister at Batavia, 10.
The Burkhart family appears to be
greatly attached to the little girl
known as Mabel Manning, who is said
to be unusually bright and attractive
and to show extraordinary promise
along the line of musical accomplish
nent.

The oil authorities said that as long
as there was any prospect of crude
oil advancing they were unable to buy
the vast quantities stored in this Sec
cut last week they were flooded with
so much oil that another cW was
deemed advisable. Refiners said that
the next move in the market would be

rAvORs THE GAS COMPANY
Federal Judge Campbell Of Oklahoma
Decides Against Cities Of State in
Kansas Natural Case.

Federal Judge Ralph Campbell of
Muskogee, Ok, sitting at Kansas City,
Kas., made orders recently granting
the Kansas state court receivers Of
the Kansas Natural Gas Company
everything they wanted during the
tendency of their suit to obtain higher
rates.
A temporary injunction was allowed
prohibiting any of the cities from pro-
ceeding against the order of the pub
lie utilities commission of December
10 granting an increase in gas rates
to twenty-eight cents. The order also
nullified and action that other courts
may have taken in regard to the gas
increase. This invalidates injunctions
already granted by state courts pro-
hibiting the enforcement of the utili-
ties commissions order. In this way
the gas receivers collect under the
commissions order granting an in
crease to twenty-eight cents, while APP
pealing from that very order in order
to get higher rate.
A bond of $4,000 was required from
the gas receivers as surety for the de-
PENDANT cities in case the federal court
action finally ends in the cities favor.
This court order abolishes free dis
tribution of gas to the public buildings
and schools in many of the Kansas
cities. This free supply of gas was a
franchise provision, taken instead of
money payment for the use of the
cities streets and alleys. All these
franchises were made with local dis
tributing companies, tributaries of the
Kansas Natural Gas Company. The
distributing companies are nominally
defendants in the present suit, they
also being restrained from enforcing
any other courts order multiplying the
utilities commissions increase. But
none of these distributing companies
is fighting this increase, They had at
torneys at the hearing, who took no
part in the argument, but made many
suggestions to the counsel for the gas
receivers.
