Saturday night.
Fite told the sheriff Ballard had
been too frequent a caller at his home
and when he returned unexpectedly
Saturday, found him with his wife. He
took shotgun from the wall and fired
at Ballard, he said, intending to kill
him. He was not arrested.
Mrs. Fite has child five years old

married to Fite only short time. Bal
lard was not married. He was en-

plant, open hearth plant, forging and
bending shop, cementing and temper
ing shop and machine shop.
The Government is paying s440 per
ton fer arrnor plate but in the pro-
posed plant it Is estimated the cost
will be reduced to s262.79.
Provision is made in the bill for
the employees to work in three shifts
of eight hours each excluding Sun
days and holidays with the exception
cf 145 men who will work on Sunday.
Employees really work but 24S days in
the year but receive pay for 313 days.
Included in the'cost of the plant is
an allowance Of $4,000 for a site
consisting of 20 acres at 5000 Per
acre, $4,000 for clearing and grad
ing and $4,000 for the construction
Of fence which makes total Of
$4,000.
In order to produce the $4,000 tors
Of armor as required under the new
naval building program, the Navy De-
partmert says, it will be necessary 10
triple the normal output Of the new
Gsmor plant. This would make it nee
assy to employ $500 men, according TIC
the official statement.

with the engine and even Mr.. Black
declared the engine was in good work
ing order, but he could not consent to
the acceptance of the apparatus, be-
cause it was too large and too heavy
for the streets of the city. Besides.
he said, the engine he wanted was su-
pslior, he thought.
The maximum pressure the pump
car develop is 200 pounds to a square
inct exclusive of the pressure of the
water in the hydrant. This would
bring the total pressure to more than
ESQ pounds, as the maximum pressure
Of the city water is said to be so
pounds. This limit was nearly reach
ed while the pump was working al
Broadway and Fountain streets. The
engine made 235 pounds, or a little
less than 20 pounds under the maxi
mum.
Mr.. Robinson gave the councilmen
tic assurance that the city would he
allowed to keep tn cold wagon until
ne could dispose of it. The horses
will either be sold here or taken ava
il mediatcly. The old fire combating
outfit was included in the sales price
A special meeting will be held to-
the 30 outfit. A check for the amount
due on the machine will be sent TO the
Robinson concern in the near future.

great that it required the combined
strength of the four firemen to hold
the nozzle. Chief Kraft was Knocked
down by the force of the stream and
struck across the back by the heavy
nozzle. He suffered slight injury to
his back.
Fireman Oberheide was thrown to
the street with such force that he
sprained his right ankle, and Assist
ant Chief George French was struck
across the left knee when he at
tempted to stop the nozzle rs it fell
to the street. The crowd was drench-
ed.
Only a few citizens witnessed the
test at the Normal School. The en-
CINE was taken to the main entrance
of the building. The stream was
thrown as high as the cupola of the
building. In driving around the school
building, the engine was mired in the
soft ground that has not frozen suffi-
GENTLY to bear the weight Of the heavy
truck.
The hook and ladder truck was not
put through any test further than be-
ing driven along with the engine
through the streets.
After the engine had been tried out
to the satisfaction of the councilmen,
it returned to the engine house, where
the councilmen and Mayor Rage took
up the question of accepting the ma
chimes.
At this meeting it was suggested
that the feed hose through which the
pump draws the water from the ny
Irant be heightened. Because of the
narrow gauge of the hydrant openings,
2 smaller hose had to be used, and it
S probable that new hydrants will be
installed in order to fit them for the
larger hose. For the present short
double hose will be used.
All the councilmen who attended the
meeting expressed their satisfaction

Sam II. Carter, president o. the

n:T.t from business trip in the
South. When told that an open meet
II" had been suggested, he consented
promptly and set the meeting for to-
night.
There ale several cities trying to
land this plant. Cairo, H., is one of
the strongest competitors Cape Girar-
d"aU will have to overcome. Although
he location Of Cape Girardcau is bet
Ter tfan that OF Cairo, the railroad
facilities of the latter town ere SUI
pcTior to those OF the Cape.
President Carter is enthusiastic OYER
Cope Girardeau's chances OF landing
Tn project, and his views are concur
ri il by the business interests OF the
city.
The one advantage Cair holds o:cr
Gene Girardeau could be easily over
30. Illmo, eight miles from? The
Cspe, has the third largest railroad
terminals in Missouri. Five tr,nF
lines run through that city, connecting
with every section of the Unita,i
States.
The advantage of Cairo over the
Cape from q railroad standpoint is
overcome by the city's location. Cairo
Is placed i: danger evety spring dur
the rainy season. Cape Girardeau is
the highest point or the Mississippi,

railroads of Illmo, it would soon pass

SERIES PLANS TIED UP.
C1oseness of Races in Both Leagues
 Make Arrangements Impossible.

New York, Sept. 13.-Owing to the closeness of the two major league pen nant races and the resultant uncer- tainty regarding the contenders for worlds series honors memb bers of the national commission are seriously handicapped in their efforts to draw up a schedule and make other ar engagements for the holding of the series, less than a month away.
 Although the date for the opening game has been unOfffclally set Tor Sat urday, October 7, the fact that the commission is unable to determine at this time which clubs will participate is hampering the completion of the many details and arrangements which they wish to clear up well in ad- vance if the series is to move smooth ly once the play is on.
 This problem, it was announced here yesterday, will be fully discussed at Cincinnati on Friday, when the commission and the club owners ga- ther for the annual drafting of minor league players. The situation may re- suit, it was indicated, in the extraor- dinary procedure of preparing a number of worlds series schedules covering National and American | league clubs which have a chance to ] win the right to compete in the base ball classic.
