SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS CITY,
ON MERRIWETHER
Denies Writ of Prohibition to
Stop Improvement
Work.
LANE GETS NOTICE
OF COURTS OPINION
G. q. n. Railroad Loses Fight
to Remove Streets
Hump.

In an opinion made public yesterday
afternoon, the Supreme Court of Mis-
souri, denied a petition for a writ of
prohibition restraining the Common
Pleas Court and a board of commits
sioners from proceeding with the as
sessment of benefits and damages in
the improvement of Merriwether street
in the Cape
By the action of the court, the Cape
Girardeau and Northern Railroad will
not be allowed longer to tie up the I'M
provement of Merriwether street from
Aquamsi to Sprigg.
A message stating the courts deci-
sion was received yesterday afternoon
by Senator Thomas F. Lane, attorney
for the city in conducting the condem-
nation proceedings pending in the case.
Senator Lane yesterday told the
Mayor that unless the attorney for the
railroad, John A. Hope, can find some
way of carrying the litigation further
in the courts here, his only appeal was
to the United States Supreme Court.
The hands of the Common Pleas
Court and the commissioners, A. c.
Vasterling, c. c. Hawley and Dennis
Scivally, now are united and they may
proceed to assess benefits and damages
against the property involved in the
improvement of the thoroughfare.
The plans of the city provide for
change in the grade of Merriwether
street so that the hump may be taken
out just west Of Lorimier, and the en-
tire street to be paved
A condemnation suit against all the
property holders on the part of the
street to be paved, was filed in Com
mon Pleas Court by the city. The
railroad took up the fight against the
suit and sought to have it dismissed.
Judge John A. Snider overruled the
railroads motion and named the COM
missioners. At that iuncture, Hope
went to the Supreme Court with his
petition for a writ of prohibition
against the Common Pleas Court.
The railroad is opposed to the i'm
provement of the street by reason of
the fact that it is large property
holder on the street and would be
forced to build bridge across the i'm
proved street when it is completed

WILSON DEFENDS
PROTECTIVE TARIFF
Former Governor of Kentucky
Urges Voters to Support
the G. o. P. Party.

Augustus f. Wilson, former Gov
ernOr of Kentucky, last night deliver
ed an address on the tariff, in which
he bitterly condemned the Underwood
law. He charged that this measure,
which became operative in the winter
of 1913, was responsible for the panic
of 1914.
Mr.. Wilson, who is campaigning in
Missouri under the auspices of the
Republican National Committee, de-
clared that the nations of the world,
even including England. were adopt
ing protective tariff laws.
Bismarck, the greatest statesman
Germany ever had" he said, twas for
protection and Germany was the first
great nation to adopt u tariff law that
protected the workingmen of that
country against the toilers of all the
nations in the world.
"The Democratic party, during the
Cleveland administration, passed tar
if law similar to the Underwood mea-
sure and hard times followed its adOp-
ton. In 1898 wer were Witnessing
about the same conditions that pre-
vailed in the spring and summer of
1914. Had the European war not
broken out when it did conditions IN
the United States would have been
worse than in 1898
There is no credit coming to the
Democratic party this year on the
grounds that President Wilson kept US
out of war No one wanted to fight
the United States and this country did
not want to fight any nation on earth
England could not think of fight
ing US, because she would Starve to
death. And if she didn't starve, she
would soon be whipped, because the
United States supplies England with
the guns and muntion to fight"
Coz. Wilson urged his hearers to
support the Republican ticket, and pre-
dicted that the Democrats would not
be able to re-elect their President.
He spoke to courtroom full of
people. Quite a number of women were
in the audience.

STACKER Lee SINKS:
REDEEMS TRADITION
WhenOne Steamboat Goes Down
Two Are Sure to Follow,
Say Riyermen.

A tradition as old as Mississippi
River navigation-one for whose re-
liability old river men Will point back
to antebellum days when steamboats,
were in the heydey of their existence
WAS partly redeemed last Saturday
night when the Stacker Lee sank near
Memphis. not "A hours after the Cape
Girardeau went down above Chester.
The steamboat tradition to which
rivermen men point as being infallibIe,
declares that when one boat sinks, two
more will go to the bottom within Il
very short time. The tradition does not
stipulate any time limit on the require
ments of the tradition, but usually one
year is the maximum and in all such
cases, it has taken less than a year to
prove The truth Of the story.
When the old Cape Girardeau sunk
three years ago last July, it was with
in less than one year that the Lee
Line and then the Tennessee River line
lost boats.
The Stacker Lee, known as the grey
hound of the river. went down while
mOOred to the bank four miles this
side of Memphis. The boat was heav-
lily loaded with a cargo of cotton bales
and cenemtn. 1t was deemed too dan
gerous to attempt navigation at night
on account of the low stage Of the river
and the heavy cargo, so the steamer
was tide up for night.
Shortly after stopping it was dis
covered that the boat was settling.
Passengers were notified and taken off.
The boat now is in 10 feet of water and
is considered a total loss. The boat
was considered worth $4,000.
1t was built and launched August
/, 1902. Since its maiden trip. it has
been in the st. Louis to Memphis
trade
The crew. many members of which
were well known among river men in
the Cape, was made up as follows:
Capt. Tom Ledger, Nick Jokerst. head
clerk; Jeffries, second clerk; Brown,
third clerk; Fred Worley, steward. and
Schmitty, mate.

THOMPSON TO SPEAK
G.. o. Candidate TO End S. E.
Missouri Campaign
in the Cape.

The big Lamm meetings IN Jackson
and the Cape Saturday afternoon and
evening will virtually wind up the
campaign in this county. Louis B.
Houck, president OF the Wilson-Garc-
ncr Club. and the leader of the Demo-
cratic party in the county, said yester-
day that the Democrats planned no
more meetings during the campaign.
The Republicans have not held a
genuine rally in this county this year,
but they expect to make the Lamm
visit the occasion for an oldfashion
demonstration.
The Republican County Committee
is making an effort to obtain at least
one hundred automobiles to take part
in the auto train which will accompany

to the county seat and back. More
than 50 owners of cars have promised
their machines for the meeting.
All Republicans who have autOmO-

cOmpanied by John F. Swanger, who
was Mr. Lamm's opponent for the Re-
publican nomination, and l.. D. ThOmp-
son, the Republican nominee for State
Treasurer.
Mr.. Stranger is regarded as one of
the best speakers in the Republican
party in this State, and he will ad
dress the meeting in Jackson as well
as the rally here. Hr. Thompson also
will speak at both meetings.
The Cape County meetings will con-
clude Judge Lamm's campaign of
Southeast Missouri. Following his
address here Saturday night, he will
go TO St. Louis, where he will rest
Sunday.
The Republican nominee will not
know until he reaches st. Louis where
he will finish the campaign. He has
been urged to make several more
speeches in st. Louis, and there are
certain sections out in the State where
he would like to go during the week.
The State Committee, however, is az
ranging his speaking itinerary, and
the last days of the campaign will be
spent where the committee believes he
will be able to do the most good.
Walter s. Dickey, Republican NOM
inee for United States Senator, will
not attend the meeting, local leaders
have learned. He planned to be here
last week, but a change in the program
sent him to another part of the State

Was Punched for Disturb
ing the Peace.

coffee which his wife set before him
for breakfast yesterday morning and
threw cup and all through the kitchen
window of their home, at 335 South
Fountain street, the wife, Mrs. Julia
Wall, swore out a warrant charging
him with disturbing her peace.
Wall was arrested by Constable D.
VI. Scivally and taken before Judge
w. H. Willer, where he was fined 81
and costs. This was committed by tae
Judge to a sentence of two days in
Jail, because of Walls lack of funds.
Scarcely an hour after he. had mis-
treated the cup of coffee, then, Wall
found himself behind the bars at the
City Jail.
The Wall trouble, was seated more
deeply than a cup of coffee, it was
learned at the trial, however. The

Mrs. Wallis and another 14-year old

agreed to provide and school the

the coffee, he marked, was the last
straw that brooks the camel. back. 80

THREE HOURS UPON
OPERATING TABLE
Mrs. Tony Doll Recuperates
Quickly After TumOr is Re-
mOved-To Recover.

Mrs. Tony Doll, daughter of Mrs.
Frank Unnerstall of South Sprigg
street, yesterday underwent an opera
ton at St. Francis Hospital for the
removal of a growth in the abdominal
cavity. Although the ordeal required
more than three hours, she recuperated
from the anaeSthetic promptly and
was resting well early this morning.
Mrs. Doll has been in a critical con-
dition for several months, and follow
ing the birth Of child a few weeks
ago, her physician announced that an
operation would be necessary to save
her life. This conclusion was reached
after an x-ray had been made of the
tumor and after medicine had failed
to bring her relief.
The operation was the most serious
of its nature performed at the new
hospital, and several physicians were
present to witness the progress of the
case. Although she had been greatly
weakened by her long siege of illness,
she withStood the operation well. The
attending physicians marveled at her
recuperatiye powers, due, it was stated
to her generally good physical condi-
ton.
Before the operation it was feared
that the growth was of a canccrous
nature, but the operation disproved
this belief. Her physicians now feel
confident that she will recover and re-
gain perfect health.

MOLASSES OFFERED
TO CATCH HYPHENS
G. o. P. Chairman Exposes De-
mocratic Scheme to Get
German-Americans.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune.
New York, Oct. 24.-Chairman Will
cox of the Republican National Com
mittee tonight made further charges
that the Democrats were trying to
WOO the German-American vote back
to President Wilson. The hyphen
strength is going to prove the decid;
ing factor in the coming election, po-
litical students believe, and the Demo-
Gratis have been bringing all the pres
sure at their command TO bear, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wilcox.
Chairman Wilcox charges that
former Gov. Glynn, who made the key
note speech at the Democratic national
convention, and Vance Mccormick,
chairman of the National Democratic
Committee, as well as others aSSociat
ed with the Wilson campaign manage
ment, have approached Jeremiah
OLeary with a proposition to give the
Democratic party lift.
NJ. OLeary is the Irishman who re-
Gently engaged President Wilson in a
debate by telegraph. According to
Wilcox, O'Leary was urged by Glynn
not to listen to the Republicans until
he (Glynn) had an opportunity to take
up with President Wilson a plan to
win back the German American vote
After Glynn interviewed the Presi-
dent, he notified OLeary that he had
made an appointment for OLeary to
meet Chairman Mccormick. OLeary
was told that President Wilson would
take some action to halt the cxporta-
ton of ammunition to the Allies.
OLeary refused to meet Mccormick,
according to Wilcox and the scheme
died aborning.
Wilcox denied that he knew of any
Forthcoming conference between Cath
Ole priests and Catholic laymen in
the interest Of Justice Hughes. He
said Mr.. Hughes would repudiate any
effort to inject religion into the cam
paign.
Chairman Mccormick replied to Will
cox by saying that the evidence that
the Democrats had sought the support
of the German-Americans was merely
circumstantial. He said the people
must decide whether Justice Hughes
had made a pledge to the hyphens
conforming to the demands of the
/ German 4 lln,ira1 demands.
