the subject from the city solicitor was
read. The board decided that the best
thing they could do in case n person

that person and keep him quarantinod

WEST END HIDDEN
In A WEED PATCH
Wsmen Forced to Wade Through
Undergrowth That Laps
Over Pavements,

Uncut weeds are gradually turning
the western part of the city into a
wilderness. From Henderson avenue
west to Louisiana, the weeds, more
than waist high, lap over the side
wilks causing inconvenience to women
pedestrians.
Since the dust became heavy in that
part of the city, the weeds have been
especially annoying to the women liv-
ing on William street. The weeds
hold dust and distribute it over dresses
as the women wade through the vege-
tation. After each rain the dust-laden
weeds become especially annoying.
At William street, where the street
cars turn north of the Boulevard, there
are two fields, each containing more
than five acres, where the weeds have
reached almost record heights. But
these do not cause complaints, because
the pavements do not run through
them.
The sidewalks on William street
from the Boulevard to Henderson ave-
nue., a distance of about two blocks
have been placed in eclipse by the high
weeds.
The ladies living in that part of the
city are preparing to appeal to Mayor
Kage to have Health Commissioner
Stone order the underground cut. Ir
previous; years the weeds have beer
permitted to grow almost unmolested
but the present crop hold a record fol
size as well as the prolific yield.

TWO PHONE GIRLS HIKE
500 MILES TO HEALTH

Denver, Colo, Sept. 5.-When phys
icians in Wichita, Kan, told Miss
Mablc Bahney and Miss Florence
Baier, telephone operators, they must
give up indoor work for while and
get out in the open air to preserve
their health, the young women left
their positions, purchased serviceable
walking outfits and started overland to
Denver. They stopped a week in Colo
RADIO Springs on the way. The ''hike"
of more than 500 miles to Denver was
made in three weeks walking time.
Both young women now are radiant
examples of health-strong, alert, SUM-
burned. But they mean to take no
chances yet on going home to do in
door work again. They will stay in
Denver a while, living out of doors as
much as possible.

CAVE MAN" DIES BY
POLICEMAN'S SHOT

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 5.-Police de-
clare that when "Wild Bill" Latura
was shot to death by Patrolman John
C. LYONS the last real Memphis "bad
man" bit the dust. He had killed seven
persons during the so years of his life.
Once he killed four negroes within five
minutes in a saloon. Here is Wild
Bills record:
19O6-Dave s. Wright, killed with
baseball bat.
19O7-Albert Hunt, wounded with
shotgun.
19OS-Henry Mitchell, negro porter,
wounded with pistol.
1909-Killed Bob Carter, Charlie
Miller, Clarence Allen, Leslie Williams
all negroes; wounded Birdie Hines,
Richard Slott and Robert, all negroes.
191O-Fatally wounded unknown ne
gro woman.
1911-Wounded Sallie James, zegro
woman with knife.
1912-Killed alabama Tom," ne
gro.
Latura was known as the "Cave
Man of the Memphis Jungles." He was
"Boss" in the underworld district and
although he had the blood of many
whites and blacks on his hands he
spent only few weeks in Jail. He was
too valuable to the reigning politicians
to be kept in Jail. He was needed in
every election and he did valiant work
His reward was to cut and kill, rob and
sell liquor in defiance of the law.
But during the last twelve months
the claw and Order element of Mem
phis has gained the upper hand. Two
Judges, three mayors, a sheriff and
some minor officials have been ousted

POPLAR BLUFF CITY LIGHT
PLANT LAYS CORNERSTONE
Big Crowd Tramps in Heat and Drinks
Free Red Lemonade at
Municipal Exercises.

A crowd of several hundred men
and women yesterday afternoon
tramped a quarter of a mile, stood
around in the hot sun and drank free
red lemonade at the cornerstone lay
ing exercises in Poplar Bluff at the
new municipal light and power plant.
The $4,000 structure is slated to be
done and in operation by the first of
the year. Virtually all the steel work
hsa been completed, and already the
brick work has mounted to the second
floor.
Mayor r. G.. Felts and the city coun-
selor delivered the most important ad-
dresses at the meeting and several OF
the city councilmen made short talks.
The building was tied up for about two
years by litigation in the U. S. Dis
trict Court, and the construction was
allowed to 60 ahead last spring when
the City of Poplar Bluff won its side
of the suit instituted.

TOM GILL CAUGHT
In BOYS BATTLE
Walks Into No Mans Land Be.
tween Lines and Nearly
Gets Hit.

Complaint was made to the police
last night by Tom Gill, conductor
on the c. G. & N, about a gang of
small boys, who, while bombarding a
group of Good Hope street negroes,
narrowly missed hitting Mr.. Gill
in the right eye with one of their
missiles, a rock the size of a hand
grenade.
Mr.. Gill was on his way home at 324
South Lorimier street, from work late
last right at the time the pitched bat
tie took place between the white boys
and the group of negroes, and he un-
suspectingly crossed the firing" line
of the negro boys and strobe into the
mo mans land" that lay between the
entrenched armies.
He was on the walk in front of the
residence of DR.. R. F. Wichterich when
a high-pOwer pebble raced overhead.
The stone encountered tree limb and
glanced downward.
The rock brushed past his face, an
inch from the eye-lid, Mr.. Gill said
scared his shoulder and bounded on
the sidewalk. Mr.. Gill ducked and
made his escape from the zone of
danger.
Neighbors in the vicinity of the bat
tleground declare that the contest be-
tween the two sides has been going
on almost nightly, but on the arrival
Of the police, the boys were gone.

Declares He Was Forced to Vote

Special Dispatch to The Tribune.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune.
Washington, Sept. 6.-Senator Ash.
urst of Arizona, in a fit of rage this
afternoon, leaped across the aisle, sep
arating the Democrats from the Re-
publican Senators and shook his fist
in the face of Senator Curtis of Kan
sas, Republican.
Pointing his finger in the Kansan's
face, the Arizona Democrat branded
Curtis "pharisee." The Kansas Sen
ator cnly smiled at the enraged Ari-
zona statesman, who then turned his
batteries on Senator Boise Penrose of
Pennsylvania whom he called a '1iar."
He retracted this epithet, however, on
demand of his Democratic colleagues.
Ashurst lost his temper and precipi-
tated the scene during the debate over
the corrupt practice bill, which was
before the Senate for consideration.
Senator Curtis of Kansas read let
ter, which Senator AShurSt had frank
ed to his Arizona constituents, claim
ing It to be a public document. Cur
It's offered this evidence to show that
Ashurst would come under the cor
rupt practice act.
Senator AShurSt'S face flushed and
he became belligerent. Demanding
that the Kansan apologize for the
statement that he (Ashurst) should
not be in the Senate, Ashurst arose
from his seat and attempted to charge
Senator Curtis.
Senator Boise Penrose, Republican,
from Pennsylvania, waved the red
flag ct Ashurst when he declared that
the copper lobby had induced Ashurst
to vote to strike out copper in the mu-
nitions tax bill.
Before the Senate was restored to
order and the danger of a roughhouse
removed, it was brought out that My
ron T. Herrick of Ohio, Republican
nominee for United States Senator,
had spent $4,000 more than his salary
for the United States Senator will ag-
gregate in six years, in order to win
the nomination in the statewide pri-
mary 1t was shown that Herrick had
spent this much of his own money, but
no effort was made to show how much
additional had been contributed by
friends. AS Mr.. Herrick recently de-
clared he was for national prohibition,
it is understood that the Ohio drys
contributed literally to his campaign.

Fight Is Started
Over Big, Juicy
Ripe Watermelon
Jim Tines, in Heat of Debate,
Punctures Scalp for W. H.
Barr With Fist Blow on
Head-Pleads Guilty and
Pays His Fine Soon After.

A large, ripe, red, juicy, watery
watermelon yesterday afternoon start
ed an argument that resulted in w. D.
Barr, retired dentist, getting hit on the
head. The blow caused a laceration
more than an inch long in Barr's scalp
over the right temple and last night
the wound was serious.
A few hours later James Tines,
Frisco fireman, surrendered and paid
a fine of $14.8O after making a plea of
guilty before Judge w. H. Willer, who
had issued a warrant on the affidavit
of Barr.
The men were sitting in the alley
south of Good Hope street and leading
past "Rcd" Mabrey's barber shop.
While they were busily engrossed in
the watermelon, the argument was
started. Tines got to his feet and
struck Barr three times, Barr said.
Tines then left and Barr, when he
had recovered his senses, walked to
the Wasem drug store and had DR..
Paul R. Williams tie his head up.

Commission That Will Hear
Strike Question, Will
Consider Others.
GOVT OWNERSHIP TO
BE REVENUE PRODUCER
After War 1t Is Believed Uncle
Sans Revenue Will Be Prun-
ed-Hearing Nov. 20.
Special Dispatch to The Tribune.

OpeCldl DlSpdtcn 10 Inc Tribune.
Washington, Sept. 6.-The Congress
slonal committee, appointed to inves-
tigate the railroad problem, decided
today to begin hearings on November
20, or about two weeks after the cleo
tion.
The inquiry will cover the relations
Of wages to the receipts of the rail
roads. The commission will also give
attention to the feasibility of govern
ment ownership of the railroads. 1t
will also make recommendations with
reference to the efficiency of the pres
ent system of protecting the rights of
shippers and carriers, and suggest
changes in the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The commission is expected to re-
port, if possible, short time after the
eight-hOur law goes into effect, which
will be January 1, 1917. 1t is under
stood that President Wilson is in favor
of the government taking control of
the railroads, and if he is reelected,
his close friends say he will urge the
enactment of legislation which Will
bring about government ownership of
the railroads.
Democratic leaders in Congress are
in favor of taking over the railroads
as revenue producer. After the war
it is believed there will be a slump in
Uncle SANS annual earnings, and with
the increased cost of government
maintenance due to the unusual ac-
tivity in naval and army preparedness,
it will be necessary to swell the nor
NAL revenue.
The railroads, if placed under gov
ernment ownership, would place the
government upon a solid financial ha-
sis. President Wilson has been in
conference with several prominent
railroad men, who are friendly to the
executive, and he has been able to as
certain approximately what the rail
roads could earn for the government.

TO "UNVEIL" new
MUSICBOX TUESDAY
Schuchert Band Will Give First
Free Concert of Fall
Series.

The Cape's new bandstand will fig
uratively be "unveiled'' next Tuesday
evening when DR.. c. f. Schuchert's
concert band will play the first con-
cert from the new stand.
Announcement of the opening series
of free concerts that will last for the
remainder of the fall was made yes
terday afternoon by DR.. Schuchert as
he viewed the work that will lead to
the completion of the stand.
The concert, in addition to being the
first of the free series, also will be
the opening entertainment for the Wis
itors who come to the Cape to attend
the Cape County Fair in the daytime.
The members of the band have been
rehearsing regularly each week in
preparation for their playing in the
Courthouse Park and at the Fair
grounds during the fair.
The new bandstand, when completed,
will be unquestionably, the finest in
Southeast Missouri. The base, foun-
datiou and floor as we'll as the eight
octagonal pillars all are made of solid
concrete. The top is being finished
now in stucco work. The sides of the
foundation have been decorated with
white stuccO panels and the pillars
will be finished in the same manner.
The columns, one at each corner, will
be connected with an iron railing, and
on the eastern side, there is flight of
steps leading from the ground to the
floor of the stand.
The bandstand will cost a total of
approximately $140O or $500 when it
is done. 1t was estimated the orig
inal cost would be $1,000 but cost of
material and work have boosted the
price to the higher figure. The City
| Council donated S400 out of the park
funds for the stand, and virtually all
rough material used in the stand were
donated by firms in the Cape.
DR.. Schuchert has been assured by
many merchants in the Cape that in
making up the deficit he will receive
their aid. Each of the political county
central committees have promised a
contribution of $25 toward the stand.
The stand will frequently be used for
political speeches and similar gather
ings in the park.
In advertising the free concerts at
the park, DR.. Schuchert said he ex-
poets to cover limo, Fornfelt, Jack
son and many nearby towns for per-
sons have assured him they will come
to the Cape to hear the concerts when
ever they are given.
