Arrest Alleged
Coal Thieves

The railroad company has been
having trouble for some time with
a shortage in the weight of coal
that has been shipped into the
city. Nearly every car was found
to be short when it was unload
ed and numerous claims have
been filed by the dealers here for
the difference in weight between
what the car was billed to them
and what there actually was when
it came to be unlOaded.
During the past two months
this shortage has amounted to
twenty tons, according to a state
ment made by d. L. Mckay, head
of the railway detectives for this
division. That this coal was be-
ing stolen was certain but whe-
ther it was being stolen here OF
while the cars were in transit OF
both here and in transit was moi
known.
The police force here was in
formed of the matter and request
ed to keep on the lookout for any
one taking coal from the cars anC

warded. Between eleven anC

Fair Directors
Discuss Location
PLAN TO MEET COMMERCIAL CLUB
Refuse TO Accept designations Of President
O'DWyer or Vice President Neil

A meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the st. JOe-St. Maries
Valley Fair Association was held
Wednesday evening at the office
of the secretary, C. S. Flint.
George O'Dwyer, president Of
tn association, rendered his res
ignatiOn and j. H. Neil also ten
dered his as a member of the
board of directors and vice presi-
dent of the association. The
reason given by both gentlemen
was that their private business
took up all of their attention and
that they could no afford o give
the time to the business of the as
sOciatiOn that it demanded. They
both take a keen interest in the
association and are as anxious for
its success as ever but simply
its success as ever but stated they
simply could not afford to de-
vote their time to it. The board
of directors refused to accept
either resignation.
After some discussion in re-
gard to the associations liability
for the income tax, the question
of where this years fair should
be held was discussed to cOnsid-
cradle length. 1t was stated that
Harry Gains had leased the
tract which includes the grounds
which have been used by the as
sOciatiOn and is intending to plow
it up and put in crops there this
year, which will necessitate the
finding of a new location. II
was suggested that the business
men Of the city could not be de-
pended upon to take an interest
in the fair and that it could not be
a success financially as long as
it is held so far away from the
city. That the city and the bust
ness men derived no advantage
from it and that it should be held
inside the city. Several locations
were suggested and discussed and
it was finally decided to hold a
joint meeting of the directors OF
the association and the CONNER
cial club of the city to take the
matter up, agree upon a location
and obtain, if possible, a hearty
cooperation of the commercial
club and the association in hold
ing the fair.
C. S. Flint and Charles Brebnel
were appointed a committee tC
see the president Of the CONNER
cial club and arrange for a meet
ing, after which an adjOurnmen
was taken to meet again upon tn,
call of the secretary.

Will Build Walk
On Waterfront

A petition has been circulated
among the business men in the
east end of the city and about one
hundred dollars raised to repair
the sidewalk on the water front,
which was destroyed by the fire
Sunday.
This is one of the most i'm
portant and most used thorough
fares for pedestrians in the city.
II is the only thoroughfare for
pedestrians leading from the
Milwaukee Lumber company's s
plant and those residences on the
east side of the st. Maries river
to the ely, except the railroad
track. 1t is also used by a large
number of school children in at
tending the city schools and now
that the walk has been closed
these children are forced to use
the railroad track, which is dan
gerOus.
At the council meeting Monday
evening it was requested that the
council order the walk to be put
in at once and if the property
owners failed to do so to have
lit put in and charged to the prop

Steamer Flyer Ex- -,
peCted Up Tonight

The warm weather, wind and
rain of the past few days have
softened the ice in the river to
such an extent that it is be-
lieved that the boats will be able
to open a passage. The Red
Collar Line made the attempt
today. The steamer Flyer with
the ice-breaker, Copenhagen,
started this morning from Harri-
son and if the ice is not too
strong it is expected that they
will get through to this city this
evening.

When asked this morning to make
statement regarding the allegations
made by Donovan. Superintendent
Stewart, OF the Ferris Industrial
School, readily admitted that Donovan
was incorrigible and had escaped from
the institution az least six times since
being admitted on December 2S. 1912.
Mr.. Stewart added that the county
workhouse was the place for Dono-
van. not the Industrial School. as he
exerts a harmful influence over other
boys in the school.
The charge against Donovan on the
schools books when he was adr'Ht"@
was breaking and entering. Prior
TO his coming to the Ferns SeAU-i
he was an inmate OF the Children's
Home from the time he was years
old until he was s.

case each night since he had devel-
oped such a mania for running away.
In some way these handouts we're
removed. for he did not have them
on when captured. The other three
boys are at large. but Mr.. Stewart
expects to have Donovan back in his
custody soon.
Superintendent Stewart said that
Donovan was handcuffed every night
and sometimes during the day when
IL was not convenient TO watch him

escapes from the school. Mr.. Stewart
said that on one of these occasions
