Town Board Has
Interesting Meeting

evening with all members pres,
ent.
Mrs. Fred Schellenger, Squiel
Welsh and A. Christian, proper,
ty owners near the tire factory
were present with petition tc
the board to demand that the
tire factory be required to take
care of it's waste water in some
other manner than allowing it to
drain into an open ditch which
has been overlooking and flood
ing the sidewalk andsome of the
private property.
The matter was placed in the
hands of the street and alley
committee to confer with the
factory directors to abate the
nuisance, which was promised to
be done at once.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Renfro and
Mrs. C. B. McKeebe of Avalon
Avenue were present in the in
terest of the property owners on
Avalon who are anxious to get
that street opened up so the
children can get to school with
out having to run thru other
peoples property. In order to
do this it is necessary to secure a
right of way thru Mrs. Chase's
property at the foot Of the hill
and also TO get Il right of way
either between the end of West
Attn Avenue, Just west of the
school house or the end of West
Bird Avenue and he G.. e S.
right Of way. Mrs. 5. }. Chase,
Mrs. H. J. Bonner's mother,
owns the land at West 4th Ave
nue. and a Mr.. Miller owns the
land 1T the end of West Bird Ave
nue..
The other Mrs. Chase asks
500 for twenty feet thru her
place, which is across one acre,
and the Avalon people, who are
willing to buy this right of way
if it can be had at what they
think is reasonable, think it is
is too much, Mrs. Chase refuses
ess and it is doubtful if she
would consent to an appraise-
ment. The county commissions
ers have accepted the road on
the south end and will do some
grading on it.
There can be no question but
that this street clear thru to con-
meet with West 4Lh Avenue
would be great advantage to
the people living on Avalon and
every reasonable effort will be
made by the people and the
board to get it opened, so that
the children can get to school
without trespassing, and it no
doubt would be the means of
building up that part of town.

to be replaced with new ones
and will superintend the repair

II am not prepared 10 say that all

There would undoubtedly be ser
ious confusion in the railroad Struc-
ture II each new rate case were
brought before a Iew board OF In

ence in adjusting rates. The public
would not tolerate such system or
lack Of system in rate regulation.
IF the all embracing commerce
power under the legislation covers
railroad wages as well as railroad
rates, then the way will be open for
congress to turn the whole problem
of railroad wages over To the inter-
state commerce commission, or, as
has been proposed by eminent public
lists, to an interstate wage commits

We must first OF al get r1d OF Ine ialt

LONDON. Dec. II. s p. m.--The AS

League Of Neutral States. The appeal
is signed by President Niemeyer and
Secretaries De Lafaille and Walsh. 1t
follows:
Your president has said that sooner
or later moment would come when
the war would make the position Of
neutral nations uubearable. For US
Hollanders that moment has arrived; ;
not through our own sufferinGs. but
because We cannot longer passively
contemplate the ghaStly suffering in
fiicted by Germany upon Belgium, our
neighbor.
'"The eloquent protests Of the Bel
gian government and OF the higher
clergy have acquainted you with tho
facts. A glance at the section of The
Hague regulations of 1907. which deals
with the law of war on land. will make
1t obvious to you that the sole reason
why the prohibition Of this modern
slave-dealing was not included was be-
cause no delegate imagined ii could

MEMBERS Of
CABINET WILL
NOT RESIGN
VIII SONS ADVISORS
WILL SERVE WITH HIM
With Possible Exception OF
Attorney General Gregory
Mccormick Possible.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1l-Eyery
member OF President Wilson's cabinet
with the possible exception Of Attor-
neyGeneral Gregory is expected to re-
main in office after March 4. when the
Presidents second term begins. 1t was
learned definitely today that all OF
them have been or will be asked to
keep their posts.
Reports concerning possible resigna-
tions have centered chiefly around
Secretaries McAdoo, Houston and
Baker and the Attorney-General. 1t
has been taken for granted that POST
master-General Burleson and SeCre-
taries Lansing, Daniels and Wilson
would remain, and indefinite rumors
that Secretary Redfield might wish to
retire to private business were oenleo
sometime ago.
Secretary McAdoo today personally
denied that he had any intention OF re-
signing. The reports in his case have
been most persistent, In spite OF denl-
ais by officials close TO the President.
Regarding Mt. Houston, 1t became
known that the officials Of Washing
ton University at ST.. Louis have ex-
tended his leave Of absence as chan
cellor OF that institution so that he
can continue as head or the Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
Although Secretary Baker has been
cabinet. It Is learned that in al l1EeIi-
hood he will remain. 1t is understood,
however, that there Is possibility
that he may be shifted to the Depart
ment Of Justice II Mr.. Gregory insists
on resIgning, and that Vance c. Nc
Cormick, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. may be placed in
charge Of the War Department.
In the attorney-Eeneral's case the
reports about his intention to resign
have been very circumstantial and
have been generally accepted by Off
cials as true, although he has given
no indication of his intentions.
