to make fight for the swimming

the election Tuesday on record either
for or against the project.
The resolution instructs the city

pool would be an institution that every
child in the community would cherish.
Following the resolutions first read
ing motion was placed before the

Whereas, it appearing to the coun-
Gil that there now exists an urgent
need for the development into some
desirable and useful purpose that tract
of city park property situated on the
north side of William street. between
LOrimier and Fountain streets;
And, whereas, it further appearing
that said tract by its location and
topography could readily and advan-
tagcOusly be converted into a munich
pa! swimming pool;
And, whereas, it further appearing
that such feature would not only
meet with popular approval and make
the park place Of attractiveness, but
that there would also be sufficient in
come derived from the operation Of
said swimming pool to meet all ex-
penscs of its maintenance, including
the salary of the instructor and the
necessary assistants:
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
city clerk be instructed to secure Sug-
gsstion%, plans, specifications. aad
other information from various archi-
tects and persons engaged in and
familiar with work of such character,
and to submit said details to the

FRISCO IS ORDERED
SOLD IN 80 DAYS
Federal Judge Sanborn Says
S45,700.000 Is Minimum
Price For Road.

st. Louis, March 31.-A decree of
foreclosure against the Frisco rail-
road, providing for its sale to satisfy
bondholders' claims, was signed by
United States Judge Sanborn at 1890
this afternoon.
The sale, according to the decree, is
to satisfy liens in the amount of $751;
$50, 109.74, in the form of mortgages
held by the Bankers Trust Co. of New
York and Neil a. Mcmillan, trustees,
and the Guaranty Trust Co. of New
York. The Guaranty company lien is
$74, S23, 1924, and the Bankers CON-
pany lien is S7S,057, 1000.
Judge Sanborn fixed a price of S45,-
100000 on the entire property, except
that part pledged to the North Ameri-
can Trust Co. The latter is said to
be valued at S600,O0O
This price of $45 100000, lawyers
said, represents the smallest amount
that will be accepted at the foreclosure
sale. A special master will be named
to conduct the sale. The sale must
take place, and the purchase price
must be paid, within 80 days.
The court ordered that following the
sale, deficiency Judgment shall be

there may be between the price which
it brings at the sale and its obligation
10 the two trust companies.
If, for example, the property should
be sold for $7O,0O0.OO0, there would
still remain. as a lien against the
property, the unpaid balance of nearly
SS3 900 900, the difference between the
sale price and the total mortgage in
debtedness.
Judge Sanborn signed t." decree, in
the form in which it was submitted 10
him by counsel, after he had caused
the lawyers to insert g neral pro-
vision for settlement with unsecured
creditors. The percentage of thor
claims which these creditors will
receive will be fixed later
The court said the foreclosure would
not terminate the receivcrship at once,
and that the receivers would be re-
tainad for six weeks or longer.
The minimum price of Sl5, 100000,
fixed by the court, include the prop
erty covered by the refunding MOTT

in the refunding mortgage; and $780,

mortgage.
The $2O,OOOCOO mortgage is held by
the Guaranty Trust Co. Of New York,

Mr.. Rabich Has
Hen ThatL an
April Fool Egg
Pet Hen "Kaiserin' Produces
aDouble-Barrelled Affair
One Egg Inside the other
Other Jokes Played.

Herman Rabich's pet egg-laying
hen, kaiserin, yesterday made a mis-
take in laying her daily egg that
resulted in a unique April 1st joke
upon the owner.
The egg was unusually large and
kaiserin cackled unusually loud and
long after she had finished it shortly
before dinner time. The commotion
startled the former Legislator, who
tore out to the kaiserin's nest to catch
a weasel and found the daily effort
awaiting him.
1t was so large that Mr.. Rabich took
dimensions. The egg weighed 3A
ounces and measured end over end was
8 inches around, and measured trans
versely at the middle it was 6l2 inches
around.
That's one of the largest hen eggs
ever saw" he remarked as he fin
ished his observations.
He thereupOn went to see if kai-
serin was growing webb-footed and
if perhaps the egg could be part duck
egg.
His scientific investigation in pOul-
try was halted by the necessity to
prepare a soft-5Oiled egg for Mrs.
Rabich, who has been i'll for the last
few days. Mr. Rabich determined to
surprise his wife with the large egg.
After carefully boiling it, the form
er Legislator served the unusual hem
fruit in a glass. He determined to
allow his wife the pleasure Of crack
ing open the smell.
The giant egg shell was split open
and the contents emptied. Mr. Rabich
and his wife looked in vain for the
yolk In the center of the whites"
Of the large egg, in the usual location
of the yolk, there was a second egg,
snugly encased in regulation shell
and waiting to be cracked
Mr. Rabich grasped the situation at
once and in order to prove that his
hen kaiserin had produced two eggs
in one, he refused to allow the freak
to be dispatched the way Of all good
eggs; 80 he carried il to the office OF
The Tribune for exhibition. He like
wise called in several friends to view
the hens freak production.
Last night he gave his zen credit
fcr the best April fool joke of the
day.

CAPE CONCERNSWlLL
FIGHT RATE CASE
Cement Plant, Brewery and Light
Co., Permitted to Oppose,
Frisco.

Washington, March 31.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission has
granted permission to the Portland
Cement Company, the Cape Brewery
& Ice Company and the Missouri
Public Utilities Company, all of Cape
Girardeau, to participate in the suit
filed by G. |. Moore against the Frisco
Railroad, to compel the railroad to
revise its freight rate on coal to con-
form to its franchise with the city of
Cape Girardeau.
Under the terms of the franchise
between the Frisco railroad and the
city of Cape Girardeau, which gives
the railroad the right to operate in
Cape Girardeau, the Frisco agreed to
haul coal into Cape Girardeau for 80
cents ton. About one year ago the
Frisco railroad appeared before the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
asked permission to increase the rate
On coal shipments into Cape Girardeau
from 60 cents to IS cents a ton.
In lieu of any protest from the city
or the big coal consumers in Cape
Girardeau, the Interstate Commerce
Commission granted the raise. The
new schedule went into effect last
August, and the Cape Girardeau coal
users then entered a protest against
the new schedule.
The principal contention is that the
increase granted to the Frisco annuis
the railroads franchise with the city.
and since the schedule went into effect,
according to the contentious of the
petitioners, the railroad has been oper-
ating as an outlaw. 1t was this point
that won for Cape Girardeau a rehear-
ing Of the case.
The Frisco railroad, which has a
working agreement with the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois railroad, was forced
to ask for the rate increase, it is said
because of its agreement. The c. e.
L. |. railroad hauls the coal from the
mines in Illinois across the Mississippi
river into Missouri, where it delivers
its freight to the Frisco, under the
agreement between the two companies,
and the Frisco hauls the coal into
Cape Girardoau and other points north
on the Frisco.
The Frisco also completes the haul
of coal from the Illinois mines to
points south of Cape Girardeau in
Missouri. This cargo also is carried
to the Missouri-sde of the Mississippi
by the Chicago & Eastern Illinois rail
road Hazel Spur, which is the town
most affected by the rate increase,
with the exception of Cape Girardcau,
is party to the suit against the
Frisco.
The suit was filed by G. |. Moore
to compel the Frisco to return to its
old schedule of rates. The Portland
Cement Company, the Cape Brewery
& Ice Company and the Missouri Pub
lie Utilities Company, which are the
largest consumers of coal in Cape
Girardeau, asked permission to inter
vene with Moore in the case, or to
assist him to present the case against
the Frisco.
The hearing has been called for
April IA at Cairo, ILL., The Cape Girar-
deau concerns have been notified to
appear before the Interstate Com
merce Commission at that time.
