HAARLC TO HAVE
NIGHT WATCHMAN
Business Men Circulating Peti.
ton to Employ Willis Martin
to Watch Haarig Stores.

A petition is being circulated among
the business men Of Haarig for the
employment of a private Waterman
to guard the stores and the residences
during the time the police are not on
duty in that section OF the city. A pc
tition bearing the name Of Willis Mar
tin, former chief Of police, is being
circulated.
The city will not contribute anything
to pay the salary of the Waterman,
but the sum will solely be subscribed
by the merchants of Haarig, who have
been without any police protection
from midnight to noon. Mayor Hirsch
said last night that the private watch
man would be given the rights and au-
thority of Il city policeman but would
not receive any pay from the city.
Frequent burglaries after the mid
night hour have occurred in the past
few weeks in Haarig, and in each in
stance the thieves escaped unmolested.
The thieves have nothing to fear from
the police, as Haarig is absolutely
without any protection after the mid
night hour.
Two burglaries were committed
during the night from Saturday to
Sunday. The first was discovered in
the saloon of Joseph Haas on the cor
ner of Sprigg and Good Hope streets.
The thieves escaped with several bot
ties of whiskey. but were evidently
scared away, as the cash register was
not touched.
George Groce, the barber, who was
watching at the bedside of his sick
child, was attracted by the shattering
of the pane of the front window of
the saloon, and called the police. Two
negroes, who were found near the
place, were arrested, but later released
when no evidence could be found
against them. They were held till
Monday morning.
Evidently the same thieves forced an
entrance into the restaurant of George
Bollinger and stole several chickens
which the negro restaurant keeper had
prepared for the Sunday bill Of fare.
The burglary was not detected until
Bollinger opened his place of business
Sunday morning.

COUNCILMEN May
OPPOSE PARKWAY
Construction of ThOroughfare too
Heavy an Expense for City
Finances.

The proposed parkway leading along
the Missouri Park, in the northern part
of the city, will be opposed by the
members of the council because of
the heavy expenditure the proposed
Improvement would devolve upon the
city. A petition has been circulated
among the property owners and is
ready to be filed with the City Council
at the next meeting Monday night.
The proposed improvement is being
pressed by Charles l.. Harrison, Ed
Regenhardt and B. C. Hardesty The
purpose of constructing the parkway
is to give the residents of College Hill
and the Normal School district direct
connection with Main street. In order
to reach this street at the present time
these residents are compelled to drive
down to Broadway before reaching a
thoroughfare leading to North Main
street. Employees of the shoe factory
have to take the same route in order
to get to their place of employment.
The plans for the proposed parkway
have been completed, but no estimate
of the costs has been furnished those
who are promoting the project. Mayor
Hirsch and City Councilman Ruess-
kamp conferred on the matter yester-
day and arrived at the conclusion that
the parkway would entail an expense
too heavy to be betrayed out of the
city funds.
Both officials agreed that the present
condition of the city finances would
not permit that the city share the
expense of constructing the parkway,
and for that reason it will be opposed
provided the plans are not changed.
These would provide that the city pay
for the paving of more than one block
and half of the parkway.
The petition will be presented to
the council Monday night and most
likely be referred to a committee for
further investigation. Whether the
petition is acted on favorably by the
council depends largely upon the re-
port of this committee.
Former Mayor Rage was bitterly
opposed to the parkway which had
been contemplated for several years
On several occasions the advocates Of
the project called on the ex-Mayor ask
ing him to support the plan, but he
advanced the same reason for oppos-
ing the matter as Mayor Hirsch and
other city officials.

UTILITIES co. TO PAY
ON $4,000 TAX
Equalization Board Rejects Com.
pany's Appeal for $4,000
Assessment.

Owing to the failure of the Missouri
Public Utilities Co. to submit an item
lied statement of the value of its prop
erty in the Cape the Board of Equali-
cation yesterday upheld the tax valua-
ton of s150,000 assessed against the
company two weeks ago at the in
stance of Mayor Hirsch, City Attorney
Balm and City Assessor Huters.
A week ago the company through its
attorney, Judge Edward D. Hays, ap-
pealed against the assessment fixed
by the board the week before, and
Judge Hays submitted statement of
the company'S officers stating that the
tax valuation should not exceed $780,
600. The members of the board de-
clined to act on the matter until the
company had filed an itemized state
ment sworn by the officers of the COM
pany to show the actual value of the
company's property.
Mayor Hirsch said last night that
the board declined to show the COM
paay any leniency because of its fail
ure to comply with the request of the
members Of the board to submit a
sworn statement of the officers Of the
company. Two weeks ago City Attor-
ney Balm, accompanied by Mayor
Hirsch and City Assessor Huters, ap-
peared before the board and asked
that the assessment of the company
be raised from $4,000. Balm insisted
that the tax valuation be fixed at
100000, on the grounds that the prop
erty of the company was worth at least
100000, according to the estimate
furnished by several experts on the
equipment and property Of the COM
pany.
A. NJ. Tinsley, general manager of
the local branch of the Missouri Pub
lie Utilities Co., said yesterday that
the increased assessment would prove
a hardship on the company. With the
increase of the material and the wages
of the employees it would be almost
for the company to con-
tinue business. He was not prepared
to say whether the company would
take any further action on the matter.
The total amount of taxes on the
assessment of the company will ag-
gregate more than $4,000 for the city |
and the county, whereas the total rev
enue from the company in recent years
was about $500 for the county and the |
city.

new STREET CAR
Bill IS DRAFTED
Cars Must Not Stop on Street
Crossings-Autos May Not Pass
Cars Discharging Passengers.

An ordinance to prevent the street
cars from stopping on crossings or ii
front of public buildings, is being
| drafted by City Counselor Knehans at
the solicitation of Dr.. c. E. Schuchert
councilman from the First ward, to be
submitted to the City Council at the
next meeting, Tuesday night. A pen
atty of from 81 to s. for each viola
ton is provided for in the ordinance.
The ordinance, which is to regulate
the street car service in general. also
embodies restrictions on the automo-
bile traffic, making it misdemeanor
to pass a street car~hile either dis
charging or taking on passengers.
It has been the custom of the street
car men to stop wherever a passenger
wants to board the car. whether in the
middle of the block or on the cross
ing of two streets. Councilman Schu-
chert's ordinance vii! permit cars to
take on passengers in the middle OF a
block, but conpels them not to stop in
the middle Of a crossing.
1t has been pointed out by several
city officials, principally the fire chief,
that stopping cars on street crossings
is dangerous and likely to cause ac-
cident that could easily be avoided.
The City Counselor contemplated in
sorting clause in the proposed ordi-
nance, compelling the street cars to
stop on the near side of the crossings,
but this was found to be inconvenient
because. Of the length of most city
blocks. 1t would be too inconvenient
to passengers.
Several accidents have been caused
by automoblists refusing to stop their
when reaching a car that is
taking on passengers or discharging
them. Several days ago a young boy
was struck by an automobile at the
crossing of Main and Themis streets
after he had left the car. The auto
mobile had failed to stop to let the
boy cross the street to the sidewalk.
when he was struck and knocked down.
The two ordinances are being
framed after those in force in st.
Louis and will be put into effect in
after their passage by the
City Council

BUCHANAN FREED
ON new SECURITY
Re-arrested Yesterday, When
He Failed to Appear for Trial
First Bond Forfeited.

Failing to appear before the Circuit
Court yesterday to answer an indict-
ment for attempted burglary, Charles
Buchanan was ordered re-arrested by
Circuit Judge Kelley and held until
he could give new bond to assure his
appearance in court. The old bond
was forfeited by the Judge, because
Buchanan failed to appear in court.
Buchanan was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Policeman Groce in
Haarig and taken to the city jail.
Shortly after the arrest, Sheriff Hut
son arrived with a capias duce tecum,
which had been issued by the Judge.
Buchanan was permitted to call on his
bondsmen and renew the bond. He
will have to appear in court tomorrow
morning when the case will be reset
for trial.
Buchanan called at The Tribune of
flee yesterday evening, after he had
been released on bond, and explained
why he had failed to appear for trial
yesterday morning. He said he had
gone to Allenville and Dutchtown Fri
day evening to get witness. Owing
to the heavy rain and the bad condi-
ton of the roads, he said, it was i'm
possible for them to return in time for
the trial.
The machine mired in the mud near
the drainage works at Dutchtown, yes
terday morning, and he Immediately
attempted to get in telephone COM
munication with the sheriff to inform
him of their mishap. He said it re-
uuired two hours before he could get
connection with the sheriff's office.
Buchanan is under Indictment for
attempting to break into the saloon of
John Herbst in Haarig, two weeks ago.
George Lance, who was jointly indict-
ed with Buchanan, was acquitted of the
charge several days ago. Prosecuting
Attorney Caruthers gathered more
evidence against Buchanan following
the outcome of Lance's trial.
