COUNCIL VOTES
Mill TAX FOR
LIBRARY'S AID
Action Means City May Get
$4,000 Carnegie
Building.

A mill tax for the support of Car
negie library in the Cape last night
was set aside out of the general reve-
nue. funds of the city by the City Coun-
Gil. The proposition carried the coun-
Gil without a dissenting voice after
petition asking for the appropriation
had been presented by the Women's
Council of Clubs.
By making the appropriation the
council does not increase the taxation
in the Cape, but rather diverts a part
of the taxes now being collected to a
fund for the maintenance and support
of $4,000 public library which is al
most assured by the councils agree
ment to support it.
The petition for the mill tax was
presented to the council by Mrs. E. G.
Granting who was accompanied to the
meeting by Mrs. John H. Himmelber-
ger, Mrs. John Kochtitzky, Miss Myr-
tie Knepper and Miss Winifred John
son.
Mrs. Himmelberger, president of the
Women's Council, made a short talk
in which she explained the part the
city must play in obtaining a Carnegie
library.
The Council of Clubs has received
pledges aggregating $4,000 with which
to purchase a site for the building.
This must be decided to the city, she
said. The next step is the civic sup
port of the building and the city must
agree to furnish approximately 10 per
cent of the cost of the building that
will be constructed.
The mill tax set aside for the IL
brary by the Cape will net fund of
$2S43 with which to improve the
stacks, employ a librarian and have all
janitor service performed, furnish
light and heat.
| With the mill tax set saide the Cape
may get a building to cost the Car
negie foundation $4,000.
When Mrs. Himmelberger completed
her address, Councilman Black placed
the proposition before the council in
a motion which was supported with a
second by Councilman Bowman. The
vote showed all in favor of the move
The council last night unanimously
elected Arthur C. Whitener as regular
patrolman to fill the vacancy created
by the resignation of Edward Beeve
| Whitener now works the noon to mid
night shift. c. S. Freeman was ap-
pointed by the Mayor as night watch
man when a petition with several sig
natures was filed with him.
When the proposition to have the
water intake changed from a crib built
in the middle of the river to a pipe
running from the bank, 300 feet north
of Sloan's Creek, was brought up be-
fore the council in a communication
from Paul E. Bayliss, engineer who
made an inspection here for the Pub
lie Service Commission, the city took
the position that the crib should be
constructed as the commission order
ed two years ago.
A resolution also was passed NAM
ing George B. Webster, special City
Counselor to join with City Counselor
| o. A. Knehans in handling the coal
rate case pending. Webster's fees will
be paid by the Commercial Club, by
whom he already had been employed
as well as by several coal dealers seek
ing to get a return to the 60-cent coal
rate in the Cape.

SCHOOL BOARD
ELECTS 2 new
CAPE TEACHERS
Lydia Erian Named for Pri-
mary Class Formed in
an Emergency.
III. L. BOWMAN TO WORK
ONLY PART OF TIME
w. S. George Gets Scholarship
to Harvard and Elects to
Remain in Cape.


Two. new instructors for the Cape
schools last night were employed by
the Board of Education at the regular
monthly meeting which was held in
the high school building.
One of the positions was created by
the board in order to relieve a crowd
ed condition in the primary depart
ments of the various grade schools,
and the new class will have room in
the nigh school building.
The room is being fitted up now with
seats and desks and the new class will
be organized within short time.
Miss Lydia Erian, who was gradu-
ated from the Normal School about
three years ago and has had consider
able experience as a teacher, was
named for the position as primary
teacher.
H. l.. Bowman, who now is a student
in the Normal School, was elected to a
position as a part time instructor. He
will handle but few classes each day
in the high school and will be permit
ted to continue his schedule at the Nor
NAL School.
The board last night was saved the
work of obtaining a new athletic coach
and instructor in science to fill a va
cancy which it was believed would be
created on the staff by the proposed
departure of w. S. George, who now
is the athletic director and coach.
Mr.. George is a graduate of Mis-
sissippi university and because of the
excellence of his work last year, his
final year in the school, he was award
ed a scholarship at Harvard University
to continue his studies. He received
telegraphic advice of his award Thurs
day and considered accepting the
scholarship.
The situation was discussed last
night at the meeting of the School
Board, but Mr.. George, before leaving
the Cape for Sikeston yesterday, an
nounced that he had made arrange
ments to remain in the Cape for the
remainder of the year.
The board last night approved the
purchase of about $500 worth of school
textbooks to be used in various grades
and schools and ordered all bills and
salaries paid.
When Mr. George returned to the
Cape early this morning from Skies
ton, he declared that he has not settled
definitely whether or not he will leave
the Cape to accept the Harvard schol-
arship.
Upon receipt of the message an
nouncing his scholarship, he conferred
with school authorities here and i'm
mediately made inquiry to learn if the
scholarship may be held open for him
till next fail. While in Sikeston. he
learned by wire that the scholarship
will have to be accepted this fall or it
vii be forever closed to him.
The scholarship provides free tuition
in the Harvard School of Law for a
three-year course. Mr.. George, who is
a graduate of Mississippi College, says
that he intends ultimately to study law
and become a barrister in his own
State so that he regards the scholar
ship to Harvard as an opportunity
scarcely one to be overlooked. He de-
clared this morning that he probably
will ask the Board of Education to re-
lease him from his position here in or
der that he may accept the scholar
ship.

WAR PACT WITH CZAR

LONDON, March 13.
An engagement is reported to have
taken place on the Danube, between Ru-
manians and Bulgarians, near the town
or Rahovo, says the Daily Mails Odessa
correspondent. A Bulgarian frontier guard
and an Austrian gunboat are said to have
fired upon a Rumanian ship which was
loading another. vessel in Rumanian
waters.
THE Bulgarians signaled an Austrian
gunboat." the correspondent adds (which
ordered the Rumanian vessels to the Bull
garian shore. They refused to comply,
whereupon the gunboat opened fire with
machine guns and rifles. Rumanian
troops replied to the fire. There were
many casualties on both sides"
An agreement has been reached between
Rumania and Russia which Is believed to
indicate the definite decision of Rumania
to adhere to the cause of the Entente
Allies. according to a Bucharest dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph Company.
The agreement permits Rumania to pur-
chase war materials In Russia and to
transport through Russia war materials
purchased elsewhere
1t is reported that Russia has agreed
to give to Rumania part of Bessaraba.
The Sofia correspondent of the Berlin
Vossische Zeitung telegraphs, according
to a dispatch from Amsterdam, that 1t
is expected that Rumania will shortly de-
eide in favor of Intervention on the side
of the Entente.
'"The Rumanian Minister to Bulgaria"
the correspondent says, sis expected to
return to Sofia with instructions which,
1t is generally assumed, will settle the
future relations between Bulgaria and
Rumania."
A telegram from Bucharest says the
session of the Rumanian Parliament has
been extended to March 28.
Rahovo is on the Bulgarian side of the
Danube, 80 miles northeast of Sofia. 1t

WILL NOT CARRY LIQUOR.

According to a Phoenix dispatch of
recent date, railroads which do an
freight business into Ari-
zOna are not going to accept for
transportation shipments of liquor
consigned to points within this state
even if the consignee swear on a
stack of bibles that they intend to
employ the joy juice for purely per-
sohal use Not until somebody goes
into court and compels them TO do
80, anyway.
This dedcision was reached at
"a Injecting held in that city last
week, attended by attorneys for the
FTP e S. w, Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe systems. There was not a
dissenting voice when the final vote
Was taken
The railroads don't want liquor bus
mess and are not going to handle it
unless compelled to do so.
Before they came to Phoenix, the
dispatch says, the attorneys had all
read the decision of the supreme
court in the now famouds Sturgeon
personal use' case. They were con
vinced that the transportation of Ii
QuOrs into Arizona for personal use
is not in violation Of the prohibition
amendment or the WebbKenyon act.
But they were also convinced htat
whenever railroad or express COM
pany delivered a consignment of IL
quor it must be prepared to prove
that the consignee intended the liquo
for personal use
Moreover, they would have to. run
the risk of a sudden change Of inten
ton and selling or giving away the
aforesaid liquor in violation of the
state constitution.
A mere affidavit from a consignee
that he did not intend to use the IL
Quor for any unlawful purpose would
net he sufficient to clear a railroad
Of complicity in a violation of the
prohibition amendment should the cor
sigaep net fellow out his declared in

tary and chief attorney for the .Ari-
zona Eastern. who was present at the
meeting and took a deep interest in

is gone she will have eight dollars

Circus Visits Parker.

4 circus struck town last Wednes
day and that surely was a red-letter
day for Indians and small white boys,
especially the former, for if there is
any one thing that the average In
dian likes better than another (unless
it's Watermelons) it is a circus, so
they came in twos and fours, dozens
and scores
This outfit came by wagon across the
desert from the east side, their draft
horses being SO poor and jaded it
was surprising that they got here at
all. AS to the merits or demerits of
the show, some say it was fairly
good while others declare it was
rotten" However that may be, it
has been the custom from time i'm
memorial for the circus man. upon
striking a town, to pay his respects
to the press by at least presenting
it's representative with a ticket en-
titling him to the best reserved seat
in 'high-brow row. though the Post
man would have been satisfied with
any old place to sit down as he isn't
'stuck up" But so far from secur-
ing either, he didn't even get a
ticket for the steerage.
